| Almost 100 1s for the anime in the past hour :/ |
| End Zionazism |
| That last scene used the Ashes on the fire ost like I expected and it was great. It'll feel like a long wait but I'm really looking forward to part 2 and I thought this was a solid episode Frankob05 said: Wtf is with all the 1s One word: Bots |

Mikasa said: Almost 100 1s for the anime in the past hour :/ Apparently, this has been a trend for most of the animes that have just ended. Check JJk and Boku no Hero Academia. Even though the latter has just started, the number of 1s both shows received is greater than the 5s. Botted as hell |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| GODDAMN THE ANIMATION FOR THIS EPISODE SKYROCKETED! F- 2D Attack Titan LET'S GOO |
| If you think Eren sacrificed for nothing, you're smoking |
| ROFL, Isayama is a hackjob when it comes to storytelling. He can't find a suitable way to inform the audience without it looking like some briefing report. Yelena: "lemme explain so everyone can understand how these colored arm bands work out." Sure, we knew Pieck had already infiltrated in the Islander's territory, but we didn't know how deep or how close she was to Eren's grasp. It feels cheap that she comes out of nowhere and just stabs the closest and only soldier remaining in Gabi's cell to get to Eren. It feels as much as a cheap shot like Gabi & Falco's prison break. And of course Zeke once again manages to get away because of his Titan's powers to call out whatever titan is nearby. What a joke of a story. Mexican telenovelas writers would blush at such cheap plottwists. Zprotu said: Modernoir said: Did bots attack or some shit? What's with the massive amount 1 votes for this episode? yup its a bot attack and it isn't unusual for final episodes recently Because bots can't vote with 10s right? bots can only vote with 1s, is that right? |
Unu5ual said: The other issue I have, and probably the more important one for others, is the story. Don’t get me wrong, the story is still amazing. But I can’t accept that Eren has turned into the fattest pile of steaming horse excrement on the planet. Neither the Euthanasia plan nor his treatment of Mikasa speak of "freedom" to me. We’re just supposed to accept that Eren hates Mikasa, when we’ve had no indication about this from any previous seasons? (Maybe all this is answered in S4P2, I don’t know. Still doesn’t make up for his fall from grace). maybe you should think about WHY Eren is saying these things before you pass it off as being badly written or a sudden character shift. |
| Just ignore the poll results, apparently botting polls is a thing now lol For everyone hoping the 2D titans at the end might be a sign of things to come in the next part I wouldn't bet on it. It's easy enough to have 2D stills of titans, the hard part is actually animating the fight scenes. So long as we get episode 1 levels of quality for the battle next season it should look pretty good regardless. |
| Haven't completed this season but why are there so many 1s on this poll? |

Because i find it kinda weird (i peeked at your anilist and you rated 89 shows 10/10 so i was also wondering why you rated AoT 4 with such a "low" rating 5 I'm back. So, I'll try to explain this the best way I can: Things I like: The previous seasons of the show had very beautiful animation. I have very mixed feelings on this season's animation but occasionally there'll something that looks cool, like the scene on the roof in this episode for example. There are a lot great characters in this show. These incluse Gabi, Falco, Historia, Erwin, Armin, Ymir, and some others. A lot of the themes in this show about war and Fascism are very interesting. Things I dislike: I said the themes are interesting, however I'm not sure if I like the way they're executed. The Eldians are basically supposed to be some kind of allegory for the Jews in the Holocaust, but the Eldians are the ones that are turning into these... horrifying monsters with exaggerated facial expressions. There's also the character (I forgot his name) who was named after a war criminal that Isayama apparently "looks up to". This raises some red flags for me. I won't go so far as to say that this show is Nazi propaganda or anything just yet especially since there are some scenes that do depict these things as terrible, but I hope I'm just overthinking things. Even though there are those characters I said I really liked, there are however too many characters that I just don't give a shit about. Eren, Mikasa, Connie, literally every character that has died on screen so far except Sasha, and especially Levi. Hopefully I did an okay job explaining this Not really but whatever |
Just because you are doing something for someone else doesn't make it right. Kindness and beauty can sometimes become cruel.  |

These 1/5 spams on final episodes of shows recently have all been happening and the only explanation is bots. I'm talking about episode discussion threads and not the ratings to the actual series. What does it have to do with bots voting 10s because to me, for episode discussion threads at least, the only thing bots do is spam these 1/5 ratings for the final episode of any series? Also, that shit storytelling comment you made makes no sense since that is the only way for Yelena to explain Zeke's plan. For Zeke himself, that whole titan saving him thing will be explained in part 2 so quit jumping to conclusions without definitive evidence. |
| Episode 16 was a great and exciting ending for the first part. I hope quality of the animations will be better in the next part and less CGI will be used! I give 9/10 to the first part. 😃 |
| Greatest possibe place to end the season imo. Part 2 announced for Winter 2022 which is sooner than I would have liked, however it should be enough time for them to animate to a decent standard. I really hope we will see the return of key figures such as Sawano and Imai, who could possibly elevate the next part to the standard of WIT's adaptation. |

| This season.... well, it is completely 0% of what I expected. If I could think of one word to describe it, it would be "Weird". IDK if its the art style, or the random narrative shift, but it just did not FEEL like the same show and group of characters I've loved for so many years. It almost felt like an AU spin off of the series. Was it bad? Nope. Amazing? Sometimes. But overall, it just feels foreign to me and I'm left confused on what transpired. I think my main issue (animation withstanding, we've already beaten that horse enough) is the charterers motivations. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ELI5 (manga spoiler free pls) - because I truly just don't get anything in this show recently. 1- Eren talks with Zeke for like, 2 minutes and suddenly he's fully on board with "Euthanizing" the ENTIRE Elidan race. No questions asked, fully devoted to the point where all he's love and worked towards no longer matters. He blindly follows Zeke for what seems like no reason. IT has to be one of the most underdeveloped "Twists" I have seen in Television. Walter in Breaking Bad for example, felt developed and made sense. But Eren, I TRULY cannot understand his motivation and hopefully someone can explain it, because it just really makes no sense to me. I'm fine with Eren turning into a monster, but I at least what it to feel natural. His transition this season felt so weird. I really hope Jean was right and there's more to it. They just completely stopped developing Eren. He's just "Jaded God Complex" guy now JUST BECAUSE PLOT. Mikasa & Armin are just there doing nothing, hardly even seen this entire season, with some brief discussion about "Man Eren is just not the same" Zeke and The Marleyans are the only ones who got story development tbh 2- Zeke plays baseball with glasses guy and after one small fact is mentioned BAM - he just sticks with Sterilizing the entire eleidin race? Just like that? 3- So basically once Eren and Zeke fist bump or whatever, then they'll be able to do the transformation? I'm just not satisfied with Eren transformation info his current role. Is it more fleshed out in the Manga? I might switch over to Manga only if that's the case. He went from wanting to free him and his people from cages & giving them all a future, to completely wiping their entire race out and ending their peoples history completely? What? |
You can obviously bot any score but this is a special case with every mainstream anime this season. And also the discussion we are on right now. So yes he is correct. It is either due to botting or brigading. If you think otherwise then you do you. |
| Biggest cliffhanger ive seen in my life |

tutsui said: First off I’m trynna start and say it was a great episode it’s making me wanna read the manga so I don’t have to wait but on to the discussion last episode I left a review saying that the euthanization plan was straight BS but after watching this epsiode it opened my eyes a lil and made me realize that it might not be that bad of an idea seeing armin cry tears of joy for that plan made me think that maybe this is what eldians want that not being born into that world of just straight up suffering is the best thing you can ask for. Also after thinking about what I would do in they’re shoes I also came to see that this is war you don’t really have that much time to think about right or wrong you just gotta do what you gotta do I see your point but I'm pretty sure Armin crying was actually him just acting |
| Wow so Zeke Survived? Damn i got bamboozled to think that Pieck-chan gonna join Eren lmao Wait, people talking about 2D Titan? I didn't even realize that lol My god the cliffhanger though, the battle about to start.. damn it #ThankYouMAPPA See you again, Part 2 Winter 2022 |

| i don't think there was any possible way to end this part without a cliffhanger. |

For Zeke himself, that whole titan saving him thing will be explained in part 2 so quit jumping to conclusions without definitive evidence. Specious reasoning is always the cheap way out to "explain" anything without actual evidence. My point is that popular series will always have detractors to notch down a peg to the loud fans with a contrarian vote. Bots can be used to spike or dunk votes, this goes to either the polls or the overall score. Somebody already mentioned brigading, wich is more common than botting. I'm not saying botting is an impossible outcome, I'm saying that there are far more options to tinker with any score in "both ways" Regarding Yelena INFODUMPING Zeke's plan you completely missed my point. It's the way that's infodumped into Pixis but it's an obvious "hey you viewers listen up" way to explain something that could have been told with "show don't tell" kind of exposition. It feels that Isayama thinks his audience is too dumb not to understand subtelty and good storytelling without infodumping every key point that will obviously "help out" the plot later on. On Zeke's obvious asspull that will be explained later on, I just don't care. Cheap explanations will always be cheap and fanboys will always come up with salty retorts "it will be explained later" Just like Nozaki makes up a cheap explanation on why their students carry out boxes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L3ifx7zIzA&t=1m0s |

| And that's it, the end of probably the most trending anime in recent memory, Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 1. Yes it is not the true Final Season, there will be a Part 2 in Winter 2022, 9 months from now, so yeah we have to wait. Either way, Zeke is apparently was kept in a Titan's stomach, that's weird. And many more things leading on to the Marleyans' infiltration in the Shinganshina District. Yelena finally made us clear (mostly) about Zeke's euthanization plan, and I can't help but say that she really fantasizes about Zeke's (kind of a flawed) plan, and I guess Armin was emotional on Yelena/Zeke's plan (I would like to say that he laughed sarcastically). Also Pieck rescues Gabi by pretending to be a traitor of the Marleyans, which unexpectedly did not happen and the Marleyans launched a surprise attack on the Yeagerists. And there comes one of the biggest cliffhangers in anime, ladies and gentlemen WOO! Yep, they've ended at that point, which is sad because you have to wait 9 months for us to see the (true) final episodes of AoT. Overall, I'm happy that MAPPA kept the quality from S3 P2 (albeit a bit less). And even though the season was in a bit of a downward trajectory for me, I'll still give it a 9/10 because of the first half, it is such a heck of an arc I can say that. But sadly, Season 4 did not gave us the surprise ED part that WIT gave us in Season 3. I was actually waiting to have a surprise ED part, but NOPE, MAPPA did not give us that. That's unfortunate, but at this point I might read the manga or make myself bored and not involve myself with AoT for the rest of the year. That's it, 9/10, not as great as S3 P2, but still a great season nonetheless. THANK GOD, I'M NOT GONNA RECEIVE A BUCK TON OF SPOILERS AGAIN. |
 |
| This was one of the best episodes this season and the bots are ruining the score |
| Amazing Episode! Sad we didn't get the usual preview but whatever. See ya on Winter 2022! This hand-drawn Titan looks fucking amazing!  Highlight of the episode: 10/10 Can't fucking wait! |
Mess with waifu, lose your laifu |
| So, the "Final Season" ends on a cliffhanger for season 6. What a bunch of clickbaiting assholes~ |

Loser and cry some more. Don't bother waste time replying to this, I've already blocked you anyways. Waste of space troll. |

| This garbo wouldn't be rated this high if people knew it was a 2 part season from the start. smhmh. |
| What a heck of a cliffhanger at the end, but looking forward to the final final season come Jan. 2022. (?) |
     #Feitoism @ irc.rizon.net - the official IRC channel for Fate Testarossa.  |
| It doesn't come even close to deserve #1 spot, but it's a fairly good season. |
| That's were they're leaving it!?!? Kyah. I'm going to have to start reading the manga. I don't think I can wait until next year. Much fun, much fun. |
   |
| phenomenal season, but if you are disappointed/underwhelmed, I can understand that because there's a lot of building up after episode 8 and it ended up in a cliffhanger at the very end (if it's about CGI/anything related to production that's a different story). nonetheless, MAPPA did well enough given the time they had to make this season. I do hope that part 2 will be better production-wise because they have more time now and the fact that it's scheduled for winter. I assure you, Part 2 will be lit asf. |

AnimeNerd99 said: I have to call bullshit on Zeke somehow not being dead. That spear was impaled inside his body, it should have blown him up completely. I'll be pretty damn pissed if Zeke survived and Levi died. I'm a little confused about Armin crying at hearing Yelena explain Zee's plan. Unless that's something that will come up later. I thought the episode's ending was brilliant though. All the focus on the infighting in Eldia made me completely forget that Marley was gonna attack sooner than expected. Those things will be addressed in part 2 ep 1. Armin crying was crying to get on Yelena's side and get them released. Up to interpretation though |
| What an ending! What an insane episode! I for sure don't like Eren's plan but i feel there is still a lot that we don't know, and Yelena for sure is crazy lmao. For that beginning!OMG So Levi ate Zeke, GG boys! So what is Pieck expecting to achieve? To take the founding titan? Lmao, they better be kidding. Reiner never in his life stands a chance against Eren now, the only thing is that the city will be destroyed. Also, Gabi seems dead inside, especially now that she knows about Falco. This season has been indeed one of the best, especially when you take into account the amount of time they had to make this. It still saddens me tho that this isn't the last season and we will have to wait for another year, not again... Till the next season, what a masterpiece this season was! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Sigh... The way they are leaving this season to make us wait 1 more year for the final final end. I really have to resist reaing the manga and try to avoid spoilers again like I have been doing for the past few years... I expected more action but I also understand why we got a season like this. I really hope to see more action in the last season. Mappa did a great work! |
