| This was a great buildup episode. Others have noted the animation is lacking, but I didn't think that was important, the pacing was really good leading up to the end. I'd reserve judgment for the next episode which should be more action and animation-oriented. This will likely never reach Wit's greatness, but I hope they can deliver on everything else. This doesn't need 24/7 action to stay interesting, I like how they handled the intensity that Reiner was feeling while the revelations were gradually being revealed up until Eren's transformation. |

Damn man, I guess it's finally time to add Eren in Titan form of Founding Titan to my tattoo sleeve at the end of 2021 if it'll be even better than this. |
Bunsuke said: god this season is underanimated as fuck. the "big moment" that you guys are hype about is a fucking stillframe with a few tweens. i literally dont understand how more people don't think this season looks like dogshit The 2D animation is alright . Yes as you said they are not animating the titans and are adding still frames . Its disappointing indeed but it certainly not dogshit . |

| Did Eren just kill all those people?! I heard he was going to be ruthless but jeez.... I_Am_Freeballing said: Just because you fapped to YOUSEEBIGGIRL or the leaked OST too much doesn't mean the one used was bad. Mappa's OST choices in this ep were phenomenal. You wanting a different song is on you. THIS. You people are impossible.. |
| pretty great aside from the ost (would have liked a new one to be honest) and the CGI attack titan (wasn't noticeable that much) i also think a bit of silence before the reveal would've been amazing (like reiner/bert reveal) also pretty funny how the entire episode is slideshow,yet nobody commented on it like they do to season 2 all in all pretty good,hype for next epsiode |
| Eren: "The same reason you did" Reiner knew what that means, it's only right for the already crumbling and unstable man that he is to lose his mind knowing what's about to happen. Ah yes... The long-awaited talk between 2 old friends after 4 years that seemed like a lifetime ago. The buildup of towards the final climactic scene at the end is absolutely breathtaking, not to mention Willy Tybur's performance at his theatrical style revelation. Of course, Eren being the good guy he is, helped to make the final ending one that is so impactful, it will never be forgotten by Willy Tybur himself for the rest of his life! (AKA last few seconds of his life) The oST chosen for the last scene is spot on, I honestly can't ask more knowing that the anime will never be able to adapt all the scenes that the manga has. Still, an amazing ep to say the least. ------------------------------------------------------ Reiner: Eren just kill me! Eren: pass dawg Willy: I don’t wanna die! Eren: how bout you do anyway? ------------------------------------------------------ |

| Episode 5 was a pretty good episode. I enjoyed it alot. I was a bit disappointed that the attack titan only appeared at the end and had a few seconds of screen time but it was great that we got to see mappa's design of the attack titan in action. I also liked how eren told him that they are the same which was pretty interesting in my opinion. It was an overall great episode and nonetheless I enjoyed it. |

shingojira-chan said: I am a bit dissappointed tbh . Personally I thought the OST was fine , but it could have been much better honestly . They even skipped some panels of Eren's titan and Eren's model was inconsistent . It was overall pretty good nonetheless . If they didn't use the leaked OST here , where will they use it then ? They better use it in the upcoming episodes . You guys should realise by now that if anime stop at such cliffhangers then the next episode will start with a rewind of this scene, probably extended and with another song. But this song was pretty good. I wouldn't change a thing. |

| Solid episode, feel a bit quiet compared to previous episodes (except the final moment of course) but not a major issue in general. The parallel between Eren/Reiner's conversation and Tybur's speech is interesting. That said I still prefer episode 2 over this in terms of exposition. |
| I was shaking the entire time, tis probably the best episode of the season. damn I'm still feeling so much hype ffs I need more!! |

The animation was not terrible, but there was nothing particular to look at. I'm really jealous of JJK that's got fantastic opening, ending and very decent execution in the several episodes that I saw. Yet this entire season and this episode in particular is getting 10x time more praise than jjk, goes to show you that a good story can still make a series a classic. Well, the greater popularity of AOT is in my view better explained by the fact that it is a renowned classic by now (and yeah, the plot did play a part in it, but the visual epicness of the best scenes from previous anime seasons mattered at least as much). It's hard for a new series to compete with AOT and I personally like AOT much, much better no matter how bad the anime gets. But I just can't help imagining the 4th season made at the technical level of JJK or Demon Slayer (which starts out as a rather mediocre shounen plotwise, imo, but is sooo good visually especially by ep 8 - 9 - 10), and I feel sad about the wasted opportunity for greatness. Well, of course one thing is to be disappointed and the other is to harass MAPPA's directors and other staff, this is absolutely childish and unacceptable. Geez, the people are just working, they shouldn't have to pay with their physical and mental well-being for someone's shitty managerial decisions that make them to work too quickly on a limited budget. This is just anime, no one has died, fans should really cool down before this degenerates further. |
| Gabi needs to die ASAP- a most horrific painful death that teaches a lesson. I hope she is dismembered while still alive. |

| I just hope netflix doesn't adapt aot as live action. Eren Yeager is not a hero and not a villain either, he is a man who lost everything. will they adopt the full manga? because manga is not finished yet so will they release a movie or second part of the final season? when Eren came out to kill everyone I felt a fire inside of me. everything great but the wit feeling is missing and they could have do a better job at side characters drawing. I think the animation is the problem imo otherwise great show. who will be adapting the live action version in hollywood? Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

KingNakosa said: keragamming said: The whole series as a whole wont be ending at episode 16, the prank is this isn't the final season even though the title says so there will be a continuation in the future maybe by the end of the year or next year, I think its a marketing strategy to get more people to buy the manga in Japan. lol @Drac0N It only gets better, and better and better from here on out. What exactly do you mean it will continue? I have not heard of such antics. 16 episodes is not enough to complete the series, episode 1-5 adapted chapter 91- 100 so far, and the manga is ending at chapter 139 in April. Its either we are getting a part 2, or possible movie format. Leakers already told us as well, they told us the final season will have 16 episode before it was even official. |
| Bruh,this season is really slow, waiting 2 weeks for this ep and still nothing really happended. |

| Well,The Episode was good but could have been better. I think when Eren transformed the OST was not subtle enough especially compared to season 2 Reiner's transformation scene. Although the animation is better but the art is not very consistent.When Reiner was saving Falco he looked thinner ,but in fact he is bulkier than Eren.Then they also missed the gruesome sight of the Residents when Eren transformed n took the whole building down which imo they'll probably show in the next episode. The soundtrack was a major letdown in this episode. Didnt hype the scene at all. |
Gloomy-eyes said: Well ... it seems you have voted the previous seasons of this anime very high. (And this season from MAPPA is just better.)That’s such a bad take. As if there has been any anime that managed to surpass its source material other than lucky products that got picked up by highly praised studios such as Demon slayer. This episode is disappointing to many manga readers, take it So it must be a great adaption. Demon Slayer I foud to be boring. (Dropped it early.) Must because of the boring plot. (Which probably was boring in the source already.) Let's be honest about the plot of Shingeki no Kyjoin as well: This is an action anime. The action must be fun. (And it is more fun with colors, animation and sound.) The plot from the manga is just your usual shounen plot. (Actually I started to dislike the last 20-30 chapter.) I use it to check for "kids that are easy to entertain" be checking if someone scores it higher than 10. (He must not know a lot other/better stuff then.) |

| This is the moment l was waiting for ever since they announced the finale. Willy revealing the true history to all the world powers and using it as fuel to declare war against Eren... And Eren responding with the consequences. The Reiner, Eren and Falco ironic talks, with the Tybur speech in the background sum up the theme of this series as a whole for me. Thus, the beginning of the end. 10/10, we are not ready. |
| Well shit, this was nice. Eren's hate was so strong, yet I kinda didn't expect him to... just... repeat the same mistake and for a second I really thought he might break the chain of hate. Rip. I also thought he might make himself out to be a villain so everyone else would team up against him and so end all conflicts, buuuut that'd also mean making Paradise Island a target so it didn't add up. Guess it's an all out war now :P yaay.. Also, Armin wearing a fake beard XDD geez nice 666 forum posts |
Vooo said: Gabi needs to die ASAP- a most horrific painful death that teaches a lesson. I hope she is dismembered while still alive. Bro she is literally a kid...she probably hasn't even had her first period yet & has lived her life within an internment zone. I hope people around you haven't wished for a painful, inhumane death for you just because of twerpy things you said and ignorant, misguided things you did at 12 years old |
| Holy. Fucking. Shit. That was INCREDIBLE. I was never a big fan of Attack on Titan and didn't really expect anything from this last season after my disappointment with the last one, but holy shit. If they keep this pace this will be remarkable. |
| While it was a slow-burn episode it constantly felt like all hell might break loose at any second. There was an underlying tension, a feeling that the entire Liberio Internment Zone could erupt at any moment, but it was unclear how. In the previous episode I thought that Eren and his comrades' plan was merely to abduct Reiner (covertly) and have someone among them eat him in order to steal his power. But that wasn't very ambitious, was it? I forgot that the Paradis Eldians had 4 full years to devise their counter-attack. They actually had more spare time to prepare than Marley, because during most of that time Marley was fighting against third party countries, but Paradis never fought with anyone. It is unclear, at the moment, for how long the Paradis Eldians have infiltrated Marley but it must be a year at the very least, maybe even two. With Marley being completely in the dark all that time.. So it appears that their end-game was to attack during that "war declaring festival" where delegates from all over the world had gathered, along with the entire brass of Marley. A "kill or catch all birds with one stone" plan apparently. However, won't that attack prove Willy Tybur's point to the entire world that the Paradis Eldians (and Eren in particular) are indeed a dangerous threat? It is one thing for the Paradis Eldians to fight just Marley and quite another to declare war against the entire world. It appears that the Tyburs and Marley strongly doubted that they could prevail against Paradis alone, so the main point of the festival was to "motivate" the rest of the world (via fear) to join Marley in fighting Paradis (with Marley, of course, gaining the Founding Titan along with the other 8 titans). Tybur was willing to both admit that he was a traitor to his race and implicitly admit that Marley was too weak to gain victory against Paradis by themselves. And his almost unnaturally captivating charisma did succeed in selling his points, oddly moving delegates who were until recently enemies to tears.. Is that why Eren transformed to attack? He knew that Tybur was going to declare war on Paradis but he and his comrades couldn't possibly predict the reaction of the foreign delegates and press. It was like he was waiting for their reaction to see if he would transform and attack or not. Since they reacted hyper-positively to Tybur's "play" and they were going to attack their island anyway the Paradis Eldians might as well make the first move; it's not exactly a preemptive strike when most of the rest of the world just declared war against you. And it might not be exactly the entire world either. I bet good money that that Asian Lady (from a "quite powerful country in the East" I currently cannot recall its name) is in bed with Eren and his people. We already saw her treating an Eldian kindly in the previous episode, then she met Willy Tybur to "see again his face" (for the last time?), then she promptly left the Liberio Zone (despite having come from far abroad ostensibly for that very same festival..) as if she knew Eren was going to attack. So the Paradis Eldians almost certainly have at least one foreign ally; maybe they have more? (wow, this must be my longest comment here..) fluffsnake said: Well shit, this was nice. Eren's hate was so strong, yet I kinda didn't expect him to... just... repeat the same mistake and for a second I really thought he might break the chain of hate. Rip.

Why do you think he waited to listen to the entirety of Willy Tybur's speech/play and then attack right when it finished? He even said to Reiner and Falco to "sit there and listen". He didn't wait to see whether Willy would declare war on them. He and his comrades already knew that, via their (perhaps extensive) infiltration and spying. What he waited for was the reaction of the foreign delegates and press. It was during their reaction, when they cheered at Willy Tybur like crazed idol fans, that Eren closed his eyes and had what I think was a "just like we were expecting" expression. I bet that if they had reacted coldly to Willy's speech Eren would not have attacked, since in that case their only enemy would have been Marley. In that case they would have enacted Plan B just for Marley; why would they needlessly declare war on the entire world? However Eren and co didn't declare war on the entire world. The entire world (minus -I think- at least the country of the Asian Lady) just declared world on them. Willy Tybur called everyone to arms against Paradis and its "devils" and they all happily complied, with immense enthusiasm too. You cannot break "the chain of hate" when just about the entire world just declared war on you. Neither is Eren's attack considered a preemptive strike; Eren attacked right after the declaration of war against them but the timing does not matter, only that he attacked after the war declaration.

Oh, no, I didn't misunderstand ^^ I got all that. It was the perfect moment to transform and pull a "collosal titan" on them too as they did so many years ago on Paradise Island. Oh well, it's just sad the little people will get caught in the middle, the innocent ones like Eren so many years before, who have little choice but to believe and support the propaganda drilled into them :\ |
| Finally this chapter is animated! I loved how they built the tension throughout the episode. It manged to keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time despite knowing what's going to happen. The climax didn't really deliver a punch it could have though, it really did deserve better crescendo. Looking forward to the Warhammer TItan reveal next episode! |
