Great escape

great escape is the 2nd ending theme of the Attack on Titan anime and is performed by Japanese alternative rock band.

It replaced Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai in Episode 14 and was replaced by Yuugure no Tori in Episode 26.

Standard
An unseen figure in the robes of the Order of the Walls drops a walnut to the ground, which rolls away rapidly over a brick surface bearing images from the Attack on Titan manga, which descends to reveal a wall bearing imagery of two armies fighting around a green coordinate symbol.

Eren and Mikasa stand against a wall bearing imagery of humanity's exodus to the Walls while fleeing the Titans. Beside them is Armin speaking with Sasha with food, and further down Jean argues with Conny. Around the corner beside a similar wall, Annie stands alone. Reiner stands with a soldierly stance beside Bertholdt, who places his hand on the wall. Further down, Christa argues with her friend.

Beside a ruined and crumbled wall, Mikasa stands with her palms cupped to catch the falling rain. Elsewhere in the rain, Eren rests motionless with sinews and strands of muscle linking his unclothed body to the image of his Titan form on a brick wall. The stones of the wall turn around to reveal the front of Eren's Titan, which begins to move.

A hand bursts through the wall, sending debris flying as Armin, Mikasa, Jean, Sasha, and Conny fight against a Titan in a dark void. Eren's Titan charges the creature as Mikasa comes in for a strike, her blades forming a streak of light which fades to reveal a row of human-like figures forming a wall.

Before a blue sky, the top ten cadets of the 104th Cadet Corps stand in salute, with Armin standing where Marco had been placed. Their image rests on the wall where the walnut continues to rapidly roll downwards, returning to the image of the armies surrounding the green coordinate symbol, now covered in long yellow flowers.

Episode 25
In episode 25 the ending initially plays over the last pre-credits scene, and then, when the ending credits roll, they do so on a dark gray background, as on the top left corner a little frame shows fast cuts of scenes from the episodes of the first season.
