Attack on Titan
Fada_Fx said: Okay, you’ve seen the title. Pls no toxic rage. But as a recent manga reader, I wanna know from you guys both anime only’s and manga readers, what you thought of the episode looking back at this season and a question. Do you believe that declaration of war was rushed(in pacing)? I’ve heard criticism about the pacing in the episode but was anime only so didn’t understand. Until I watched savagery. The table scene was great but wow was it quicker than it should’ve been. Same with the Forrest scene, idk what it was but it felt like the pacing is simultaneously slow and fast, not in a great way unfortunately. So what are the thoughts around DoW and be serious with the criticism. I’m already a “OST hater” btw bc I realise manga readers had a point about that final scene(but were way too toxic for a still great scene), so no OST complaints, just keep it respectful, I love this season As an anime only, I thought the pacing was perfect. The way the tension rose throughout and how both of the big events had key moments happen simultaneously to achieve a certain mood (Porco and Pieck getting trapped while Falco realizes who Eren is, Willy revealing Eren as the true enemy as he regrows his limb) was excellently done. The facial expressions and music really added a lot, and even though the ending scene itself felt a bit quick, the build up was so good that it hit like a truck regardless. One of my favorite episodes of the whole show. Sort of agreed on Savagery, the pacing of the forest scene was good I felt but the table scene did feel a bit short. Maybe it's because of all the hype I heard around it, "table scene next episode! It's going to break the internet!" but I thought it would span most of the episode similarly to the basement scene with Eren and Reiner. Not blaming the writing and adaptation or anything, as the only significant info that seemed to be left out was the truth behind the Ackerman's strength (spoiled myself in that regard, and I'm guessing it's being saved for another episode). Just a case of manga readers overhyping a scene that is still really good regardless and crucial for Mikasa's development. |

| I'm watching FMAB, and after seeing the first 6 episodes of this one, it seems to me that any other anime has a great and superior rhythm XD so yes, I think the rhythm was very good. |

On the Brightside the rushed pacing of that episode gave the rest of the season mostly decent pacing so you could say that episode died so the rest of the season could live |
| Far better than the manga. FAR FAR better. |
| I had no problem with the pacing.My only problem was a lack of emotions compared to Wit's Aot.It almost felt like there wasn't that many movements in that episode. |

MinorTatu said: I guess the start was a bit sped, and some parts of Reiner's story were cut. A part that I personally theorise is very important was cut (when the smiling titan ignores Bertolt) but after that, I wouldn't say pacing is one of this season's issues (personally). I'd say it's animation Dina ignoring Bertholdt wasn't cut. |
Scordolo said: I had no problem with the pacing.My only problem was a lack of emotions compared to Wit's Aot.It almost felt like there wasn't that many movements in that episode. Going to have to disagree there. Reiner's emotional breakdown and Falco's slow realization felt so real to me. |

At this point people are grasping for straws to hate Don’t worry, I don’t wanna cause any hate here, I just want opinions. I heard some people didn’t like the pacing but this thread showed me that’s not really the case, with some good reasoning. I loved this episode, deffo a top 5 for me. The SNK anime board is already too toxic, I hope I’m not adding on to it. |

| They nailed most of the episode except for the pay-off, ironically enough. The crescendo of tension was masterfully executed but the release at the end felt comparatively limp. It's not just due to the subpar OST choice either, though that obviously plays a huge part since 2Volt does not fit the intended mood at all, but the little directional choices also remove impact from the events happening on screen. Too little emphasis on Eren's transformation, him punching the stage barely registers since there's no wind-up or impact shot and the camera is too far away, the entire scene feels too low energy and motionless/static. This is why most anime watchers prefer episode 7 over 5 and 6, because that one actually delivered on the important moments. It is very much so the opposite consensus when it comes to the manga. The table scene was fine although they cut out some good Eren lines that could've easily been adapted by just cutting out the cold intro recap. I don't just mean the Ackerman stuff either, they didn't show him verbally putting down Armin and describing ignorance as a lack of freedom. They also focused too little on his facial expressions when talking to Mikasa. It didn't feel as impactful to me but we'll see how anime onlies react this weekend. None of this is to say the adaptation is bad but it hasn't been living up to my expectations the same way the previous 3 seasons did for the most part. Which is a shame considering this should be the strongest stretch of the story. |

Ik.I meant the animation and the movements could've been wayyy better if they had enough time.I also heard from the Manga readers that the character development of Reiner was rushed in the anime. |
