| A LOT of stills this episode. Also, I don't think Armin's rage was done that well. Obviously the budget went into the previous episode though, so it's a fair trade off I guess. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| The highlight of the episode was Annie's return which was highly awaited. My girl... I missed her. We also got to see her backstory in this episode and her motive. The first half was focused solely on her and then we saw King Floch doing dope things in the second half. The episode itself wasn't action-oriented but a dialogue-heavy episode. Felt bad for Armin and Mikasa. And, we got a glimpse of Levi at the end which was nice. Cool episode. |
 |
| Great to see Annie back and she also somewhat knows the events happening on the outside world. Honestly, seeing more of her past is depressing given the hardship she endured. A lot of powerful human emotions protrayed this episode. Even Connie realizes what he must face ahead and doesn't back down. |
 |
| Oh Hitch after a long time, and like everyone dealing with the aftermath of Eren’s deeds. But hey good to see even Annie after all these years didn’t lose her edge, still sharp as ever. Always good to see Lord Floch in the spotlight, he always makes his presence count. Hange's here finally!! |
 |
| Another amazing episode! Finally, we get to see more of Annie. Hitch looking hella fine ;D Waiting for the Armin and Annie interaction lol. Those yaegerists are still chanting 'Shinzo wo Sasageyo'. The Eldians in Liberio are pissing their pants rn lmao. Floch needs to chill fr. Connie and Falco riding into the sunset, what could go wrong? Also, fan-favourite Levi and Hange are back!!! I need the subs asap. |
 |
| Annie are you ok are you ok Annie Floch did nothing wrong? Falco should just bit his hand and transform right there to blow up Connie lol and Hange and Levi spotted |
| Not gonna lie, it feels good to have Annie back in the story after so long. And finally, Hange and Levi are back! Those 2 (especially Levi with the shape he's in) just refuse to die lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Great looking episode The music selection was rlly good Also, the new instrumental version of Akuma no Ko was amazing  |

| King Floch saved the episode from the snoozefest that it was. I don't care whatsoever for Annie's character (contrary to a lot of people apparently) so her reappearing does nothing for me other than reminding me of Petra's death. Yeah the dialogue is somewhat important, no I don't care for it. Episode looked good and was well directed, but I'm still wondering how the rumbling will look without the orange shading and darkened color palette for the colossals. We didn't get the full ED this week, only an instrumental accompanying Connie and Falco's scene which is a first for MAPPA I think. Good decision since the Hitch and Annie horse ride literally took half the episode. |

| Very good episode. It was nice to see Annie again. |
 |
| It's interesting how they gave the moment with Floch and Jean a more prominent musical accompaniment than anything with Annie. That was my favorite part of the episode. Right now the conflict within Jean is more grounded and interesting than anything with Connie, imo. |
| Perfect adaptation of 125. It's given the attention it needs since the chapters like these are the backbone of AoT's message. |
 |
| Cool backgrounds this episode,Connie scene with instrumental ed was great, I'll re-watch with subs but for now it seems sole salvation director delivered. The preview for next episode looks clean https://twitter.com/BlastITA_/status/1495421642557857798 |

Right now the conflict within Jean is more grounded and interesting than anything with Connie, imo. Connie has no conflict and there is no reason to validate one. He simply wants to save his mother. Anything else is pretty irrelevant to him. Which makes sense, anyone in his place would have acted the same way. If there is a way to save a family member, one will always be egoistic and do that, regardless of what affect that can have to others. He still doesn't want to kill a kid for it, so he is conflicted even though he already made his decision, and gets more conflicted more he hears said kid speak, it's not yet done obviously. And i'm not sure about anyone else, some would, some wouldn't. |

| Not gonna lie, Floch is pretty based. The pace is so unbelievably slow, I think it's the slowest yet for AoT. Still don't get what is the reason for Annie to return besides love interest for Armin. She was heavily underdeveloped in S1 and bringing her back for some exposition about her past 3 seasons later doesn't really change much, one of the weakest characters in AoT, considering she's a shifter. First time when an AoT episode felt way too stretched out for me, they couldn't even fit the ED in, and this is supposed to be adapting only ONE chapter. If they keep this up, AotS4P2 second half might end up the weakest AoT has ever been. And honestly, final season has covered the main cast in too much plot armor nowadays, like seriously, why is Levi even alive? In S2 all it took was for him to hurt his leg slightly to no longer be able to fight, and now you're telling me that he'll somehow contribute to the plot/fight while being a fucking cripple? There is literally no reason for Levi to not be dead right now, his popularity is the only thing keeping him alive, such a shame. |
| Lol at people complaining that the chapters they dislike are getting a great adaptation. LOL |

LOL LMAO ngl i just wish that looking clean visuals are on 128-129 instead, MAPPA tends to do the opposite sometimes, but i think that's not really a case in P2 because so far it look good consistently. But still tho :))) We still don't know how 128 and 129 will look. They might look great too!

LOL MAPPA can't save the narrative of next week's episode. Reiner's backstory could have been better but I'm not gonna complain they nailed Annie's. Disagree on the next episode. The 'cringe' moments were meant to be that way. |

Good decision since the Hitch and Annie horse ride literally took half the episode. I'll give you the pie scene but if you're referring to the end of the chapter and still miss the obvious contrast of that panel being framed from Reiner's perspective throwing back to when he first joined the scouts you're a moron. "Muh cringevengers", get over the fact that your much more shallow fanfic end of the story didn't happen, manga readers for this series are still so uppity and proud to flex they never got this series in the first place, its hilarious how big of a clown you guys are. |
|
7/10 is bad for AOT if we're being real. |
|
Modernoir said: See your first mistake was thinking I care or am affected by what you or others think & say about aot. Your second mistake was regurgitating the same tired line of not understanding the ending, and also bringing up a fanfic I don't care for. "Brother", no need to wait a week to cringe, you took care of it.KneelBeforeMe said: I'm sorry, who are you? An enjoyer of the peak show of this season, looking forward to seeing the disappointment you'll feel next week when no one reacts the way you expect them to towards those "cringe moments", brother. |

| It's kind of funny that even after all these years a 7 is still a bad score by MAL standards. |
 |
| Nice to see Annie again, Great Episode as always... |

Praland said: It's kind of funny that even after all these years a 7 is still a bad score by MAL standards. Looking at all the scores objectively, it shouldn't be. But the reality is that people, in general, will look at a score of 7 as a bad score. I don't think this is a MAL thing. This is an everywhere thing. Standards are set way too high for a 7 to be looked at anything but average. |
|
| Finally got to see Annie again and the ultimate duo Levi and Hange are back. But, Levi looks fucked up so who knows what's going to happen. |
