"What Should I Do Now/Eve of the Counteroffensive, Part 3"

*Spoiler*
Episode 16 finds us with the new cadets needing to choose which force they will join: Scout Regiment, Garrison Regiment or Military Police. As we know from earlier episodes, only the top 10 cadets are able to join the Military Police, so that leaves the majority of them with the choice between the Scout or Garrison Regiments.
With every passing episode, my admiration for Jean grows. He is showing tremendous courage in the face of fear. He remembers seeing Marco, his close friend, laying dead in the street, yet he chooses to face his fears, rather than run away. Jean is serving as a source of inspiration for the other cadets. No doubt he had some influence on the others that decided to join the Scout Regiment with him.
Meanwhile, Annie is just too mysterious. She is just very odd and very suspicious. Despite her time spent with Eren training him in the martial arts when they were cadets, I still don't trust her. Hard to tell what she's thinking.
Another suspicious character is Erwin. What is this man thinking? He announced to all the cadets the existence of Eren's basement as well as its significance. What does he stand to gain by doing that? Even the other commanders in the Scout Regiment have no idea what he's planning. What is the reason for this exercise beyond the wall? Is there really a purpose for this?
As a final thought, I really enjoy the new opening theme.
Preview for next episode: a female Titan! What?!
Stay tuned.
