There has been a timeskip of four years since the last season .damn , it felt like I was in the war field. animation was good. voice acting was far better. BTW who are they fighting? are humans fighting other humans? and only marely have eldians fighters? can someone answer this question without spoiling the future episodes? and further more if they keep up the quality attack on titan will be the most popular and perfect anime show of all time also mappa will become a giant in the anime industry. don't forget to thanks mappa on their social media for their hard work and don't forget to rate the episodes. |
  Something that’s supposed to die and doesn’t… will eventually rot away , whether it’s a man or a nation |
| The OST was the same as the trailer, other than that the pacing is also good adapting chapter 91 and 92. Jaw and Cart titan are looking fine, but Armored and Beast are more CG-like. I hope they would keep improving it in the future episodes. The opening however was a bit weird, at least song-wise, and the ending was great. Looking forward to seeing more episodes!! Also, is it true they're gonna have 16 episodes only? That would probably mean that we get 2 parts like Season 3. |
| CG is decent, what actually bad in this episode is OVERUSED BLUR omg... everything except the titans on 2nd part feels 480p quality... I think they did this to trick us buy Blu-ray version... emraanash said: damn , it felt like I was in the war field. animation was good. voice acting was far better.

Yes, they fight with humans outside the walls. Just wait ep. 2, you'll get more details about what happening outside the walls. |
shingojira-chan said: Yakes said: I was hoping it would change my mind a little about the anime, but... nop, the good ol same SNK, good anime on the overall, but i just cant like it, animation was the same as always, CGI was looking terrible, worth watching, just not my personal taste, people just seem to overlook the anime, and fanbase is kinda blind to the many mistakes in the show (sorry for any typos) If you dont like the anime , then say its bad or criticize it . Stop it at that . Dont bring the fanbase into this . Your opinions are not facts . Just because I have a different opinion doesnt mean I am wrong or "blind" . Im not saying the fanbase is wrong, but some fanboys just overlook the anime and pretend that there are no flaws or downsides of the show, that is what I was trying to say, and some of them are very annoying to the point that if u dont like AOT they say you have trash taste, or whatever, that is why i dont like aot fanboys |

| It's raining Titans from outta the sky, Titans. Well here it is, Attack on Titan's final season that everyone has been dying to see. The only problem this season faces is the CGI, it's not a huge problem however the show would be better if the CGI on the titan's wasn't so wack. The war is a freaking suicide run, gosh. Titan with the guns on it was super cool and seems like a new titan has been introduced. Well so far so good, let's see what is in store for us viewers next! Great first episode :) |
 |
| Amazing adaptation of Fort Slava. The CGI is noticeable but isn't terrible. I miss the epicness of Sasageyo for the OP though. Great start so far. |

shingojira-chan said: Umm No you are entirely wrong on the plot haha . But its fine I was confused as well . This is actually happening after the return to shiganshina arc . Its been four years since that . I mean didnt u see reiner grown up ? . The marley are fighting against another nation called the middle east . Oh yeah, now that you mention it! It was indeed a little confusing, and the fact that the last season aired a few months ago made it a little more confusing. I've got the part that they were fighting the middle east nation, omg okkk nvm! I've got it now haha i think, while writing this comment i got what is happening. This is after all of that as you were saying, and this is just Marley fighting a war and using the Eldians as fighters. Now that i got it, omg! Can't wait for the next episodes! This will be epic! |

Yusukesmokes said: (In advance I have not read the manga)This was a good first episode of “Attack On Titans” last season. We’ve been introduced to new factions the Marlyean faction which is categorized as a military faction for its massive infantry, navy, and Air Force and in this first episode we’ve seen it’s capability’s in action. At the start we were met with new charters who appear to be soldiers in training and who can be chosen for inheriting a titan, as said in the episode. In this episode we’ve saw the new concept of human to human warfare, infantry, an Air Force, a navy, the marlyean faction, the middle eastern faction which lost the four year war in the episode, and a new cast of characters. We’ve also saw the return of Zeke, and Reiner. To conclude I’m stoked to see more from the last season of Attack on Titan. Now to list some problems I have is mainly the Titans being CGI and how noticeable and annoying it can get. And last season we know none of the Titans had CGI which did make it better. Now this is my final conclusion on the first episode. I thought Armin's titan was CGI? I may be wrong though. |
| Pretty good start. OP needs to grow on me though. |
 |
| Reiner was amazing, husbando. I wonder if any scene will top this later on. Also still love the light show the titans make when they transform. |

| Good start for Mappa, hopefuly they can keep it up. |
| I've read up until 127 ish so i definitely know what's going to happen for a lot of this season, but so far it's looking great. The CGI looks a lot better than the last few seasons. I'm not sure i like the new op but i'm sure linked horizon will be back for the second and probably final op. |
| Objectivity? In my anime scoring? Of course not... |
| It was so good. The wait was definitely worth it. It's not like past AOT episodes with all the modern stuff. Love the OP and ED. 10/10 |
 |
| Amazing start to Season 4. I remember reading the manga equivalent of this episode and I was so confused about who these characters and stuff were in the manga but man the anime equivalent of it is so amazing! |

| I am a thunder dragon! Hear me roar thunder and breathe lightning. |
| I'm seeing tons of people saying that it was amazing... damn man I respect everyone's opinion and all the hard work that MAPPA has put into the show but this is such a downgrade compared WIT Studio's work. Chara designs and backgrounds, great but CGI... MAN. At first I was like "Nah, this is fine" but as the episode went on I felt it awful. I loved the OP and ED tho. |
ElGoblino said: cant be the best CG in tv anime when Beastars, Land of the Lustrous and Dorohedoro exist.ShichikaAlter said: Zeke be looking like PS1 Hagrid. Other than that, at least the characters and all the 2D animation looks great. You are blind fr then. This is the best CG in a tv show yet. Its still better than a lot of CGI in anime these days tho (not hard to do but still, its something) |
 |
| This episode is just an introduction to new characters and a new city can y'all chill with the expectations |

This episode takes place 4 years after s3p2 and they are fighting the mid-east forces. The reason for the war is because Marley lost the colossal and female so the mid-east decided it was the perfect opportunity to strike at Marley. Btw there are no spoilers here all of this was mentioned in the first episode. |
| The moment they used the trailer ost, I fuckin jumped. |
captain3xtreme said: actually, same with me. And i also believe that MAPPA too, might've done better with more time too (since this year they're obviously stacked with too many animes). I meant, WIT 2D with MAPPA's CGI. That would make it more awesome.Mei2Mei said: This was better than i thought honestly. Especially with how people have been badmaouthing MAPPA lately. The opinion about the OP is completely split by two sides, and i for once, actually love it (unlike the same case with Red Swan). The pacing is really great. Mind you that despite being a manga reader, i actually have no idea what was going on on these first chapters of the new arc. Lol But now i actually understand what's going on. XD The Titans CGI looks too jarring sometimes (especially the beast titan one) but as someone who's not unfamiliar with CGIs, this one actually still looks really good. Edit: reading some of the discussion above, i feel like i need to remind you guys.. The story isn't made by MAPPA . So blaming MAPPA for the story is... Lolz Iirc i read in the article that the director (? I forgot who) said that WiT said they couldn't handle the last season (iirc it's implied that they give up..? Probably seeing what will come or forced release year). And when asking around about the offer to animate this last season, only MAPPA wants to do it and took this highly risky adaptation. So tbf imo I'm glad MAPPA took over at all Edit 2: added what other people said why WiT gave up continuing it. I would rather have waited personally, look at seven deadly sins for example, I would rather have waited 5 years for A-1 to finish it than the abomination called season 3 that we got and season 4 will probably be just as bad. But what we got, we got it now. I can only cross my fingers. |
| A certain person lurking here |
| I'll be honest, I might have like terrible eyes or something, but I straight up didn't even notice it was CGI until like one or two frames with the Beast Titan. The animation was absolutely incredible! The battle was excellent, with all of the titans managing to feel threatening and powerful even when going up against soldiers and armoured trains. Can MAPPA please go back and fix up the Colossal Titan from Season 2 and 3 for like a complete season blu-ray boxset or something now that they're on the production committee? In all seriousness, I thought it was a great episode. I have full confidence in MAPPA going forward. It condensed the two chapters really well, and managed to fix all of the few issues that I had with the chapters in the manga itself, in terms of the tone and dialogue. I think that rather than feeling like an exposition dump this episode actually felt like a logical sequence in the progression of the overall story. The explanations about why the war was happening, why they were there, and who all the characters were, felt far more natural, and as a result my interest and engagement with the battle itself was much higher. Controversially, I also think the nods to later chapters, Falco's vision, and Jean buying the newspaper were excellent touches, that also helped to sell why these sequences are important in the overall context of the narrative, and made Falco's introduction in particular, feel a lot more like a main characters by having some clear parallels to Eren's dream with Mikasa. I really don't understand the criticisms about the OP or the other music throughout the episode, I felt like everything slapped. In all honesty, this OP is easily in my top 3 of what we've seen so far. It captured the more technological feel of this arc as well as the existential dread that defines it, in comparison to the upbeat medieval ones of previous seasons, and the explosions of colour on otherwise statue-like graphics was a fantastic contrast in my opinion. I also imagine some of these explosions will be toned back in later episodes as more information and battles are had, not that in my mind this really needs to happen as I think its fine regardless. It feels like its for a completely different anime granted, but I don't consider that a negative at all, because that's exactly how I felt about the overall story after reading chapters 90 and onwards. Everything that came before now feels more like the prequel to the ACTUAL action, and I think this mature and gritty direction is far superior. Overall, I'm just so excited that this is actually happening. It's surreal that as the manga is ending we have the final season coming out, and it is so far, absolutely incredible as an adaptation, and as Isayama says the 'final' version of the story. Full disclosure, I felt the same way about Season 3, and thought that it was overall much better than the equivalent manga chapters throughout apart from the occasional 'Ereh' criticisms about Mikasa's characterisation. Nevertheless, I am fully expecting that Season 4 will be the perfect end to this story! |

| i knew Mappa d deliver but damn, this good despite being in the middle of a pandemic? |
 |
| Just need a quick confirmation: What Gaby did in this episode (disguising as civilian and use her child appearance as tools for false surrender) are considered as war crimes , right? |
 |
| What a Great Episode And The Opening And Ending Was Awesome As Fuck But Seen The Colossal Titan And Beast Titan in CG I Was Like Look How They Massacred My Boys But Goddamn it Was Good See AOT Back And The Hype is REAL Overall 8 Out Of 10 |
 |
| I had forgotten how much Gabi piss me off, and now the anime reminds it me lol I cried, YES, I DID! I've never thought that I'd watch the final season animated after years waiting for the 2nd season. I'm so happy, and MAPPA did an extraordinary job! God, I love so much the new character designs, Reiner looks so good. Ok, I must admit that I didn't expect CGI on titans' animation, but it's pretty good compared with the colossal in 2nd and 3rd season. Good. And the OST, the action scenes, oh God... All animators who are working in these project, you did your best with what you had and I appreciate it! JEAN! I wasn't expecting to see you, but here you are <3 |

Lmao do you think Marley would care about war crimes when they airdrop hordes of Titans which then eat people alive? |
| Don't question my antics. |
| Holy crap, the final chapter in this epic saga is here! ...though it feels like an entirely different anime so far lol. Interested to see where this all goes. |
