| Definitely the best part of the final season so far, though the constant self pity talk became a little irritable, I get it, they've been over this so many times, definitely milked for max feels. Plus there's too many quick cuts in the ODM animation, previous seasons gave you a better sense and feel as to what you were watching. |
| That was incredible. I was very impressed with the animation. I feel it's the best work MAPPA has done for AOT up to this point. I was surprised with this being one hour and the story finally arriving at the final battle. With the manga being over I've been out of the AOT news loop and didn't follow any news leading into this season other than learning last week that they were going to split these final episodes into two mini-seasons. I didn't put much thought into how little they had to cover from the end of last season to the story's ending so them getting to Eren already was honestly a shock. Anyway, hopefully the remaining episode will look as beautiful as this one did. |

| What is freedom? To be free from boundaries to do anything? To be free of pain and sufferings? Every perspective tells a different truth. When two views of freedom clash thus be war. Best adaptation to the thrills of the manga. Capturing every characters persona that comes true in their final moments. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
ThatsNotGaming said: MugiwaraJopa said: Yeah they are unbearably cringe. Not only that but we see this forced romance moments after watching a horrific genocide. Lmfao. Bruh, let them be. People fall in love, I don't think it makes the show any worse for it. It just makes it more realistic in my opinion. I think it adds to the story that we get to see the different sides of the characters. Ain't nothing wrong with more character development, it what makes you more vested in the characters and the outcome. Yeah it’s very realistic to fall in love with the guy you barely had scenes with (oh but he was creeping on you for 4 years tho!), and it’s even more realistic to fall in love with the person who used to kill your friends and would do it again! |

| animation was so cool |
 |
| Peak fiction has finally returned for the second to last time. What a ride it was. From the brutal opening to Hange's spectacular sacrifice and of course the tease of the final battle to come this episode really had everything. If only it could last forever. |
 |
| Easily one of the best anime episodes ever produced |
 |
| What a incredible episode, especially Hange last fight scene is a masterpiece 👏🏻 🥲 |
| Good episode, RIP Floch, you were a real one |
 |
rest in peace Floch, a hero for Paradis |

| Wow, was that incredible. Way better than Part 2. Decent CGI too. Made the Titans look like a force of nature which they indeed are, except for that one scene of a Colossal Titan falling down the mountain in the middle of a serious scene. The Fall Titan indeed. RIP Hange. Didn't cry though. She went out in a blaze of glory(quite literally) and is now free from her burdens(also quite literally). Didn't like the sound track that played when she fought the titans though. Felt a bit off. In other news, the title of the r/anime discussion thread is possibly one of the greatest ever - Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season • Attack on Titan Final Season THE FINAL CHAPTERS - Special Episode 1. |
 |
| Wow. This was excellent. Bravo. |
| Insane come back and w episode |

| Great episode, glad I waited and didn't read the manga even though I really wanted to. Is the next episode gonna be the last one, or is there another final season part after? |
| Hange death hit deep. Majority of the episode felt kinda boring to me, I was almost falling asleep. The animation didn't do it for me, I still think MAPPA should have approached the series another way (god those faces are even worse than Part 2). I know how destructive the Rumbling is, but I can't take it seriously when the titans looks like puppets and are so stupid they fall on each other or down a mountain. That scene honestly had me rolling, had to watch it two times. Plus, I was thinking: how large can the Rumbling be? I mean, there must be an end to it on the sides, so can't people just try to reach the end of it to avoid being stomped? Annie-Armin scene felt so fricking forced. Honestly, everything related to Annie feels forced, she is just a boring and annoying character everyone in the Survey Corp started caring for without a reason. Yes Annie, you killed our friends and shut yourself in a stone in order to not tell us the truth about the world (which could have helped a lot), and now you don't even want to help us stop what your people started, but sure, "take care of yourself!". Reiner became boring too but at least he has the guts to do what it takes, respect. Also, Levi with only two fingers on one hand, one eye and half face buried but still willing to fight. That goblin is unstoppable. And I felt really both sad and proud when he finally said the Survey Corp motto to Hange. Now he really did lost all of his dear ones... |

| I still think Hange's death was unnecessary, but at least it wasn't pointless. And she seems happy to die this way. :'( |
| Very good first episode. Some epic scenes. |

| It is still ep1, yet so hype.. Tons of ppl r currently watching this.. |
 |
| This was really well done. I'm on the record here a saying that I'm not the biggest fan of the way Isayama took the story after they reached the sea, but seeing this animated and voiced with these levels of quality increased my appreciation of it. Very compelling watch. |

| This was fucking amazing Hange sacrificing herself and killing the colossal titans was a sad but amazing moment everyone’s landing entrance on top of Eren was so hype and Riner’s titan transformation was sick asf |
 |
| A lot of regret, conflicting sentiments and Eren's bullshit (imo) idea of freedom in this 1-hour part 1 of part 3 special for what might be the final season of the series. I thought it was good, probably better in some ways to the last two parts in terms of animation and direction, but worse in its story overall particularly because I can't understand Eren at all. Hange's sacrifice has to be the highlight of the episode for me. She was among the best female characters the show had (I don't wanna bring the Mikasa debate but... yeah). The way she was always pursuing knowledge and just kept crawling back from death with new ideas made our understanding of the world broader, that is until her time finally came. Even with all the contradictions to what she initially thought she knew, she took responsibility and acted correspondingly. Yes, she does have some creepy and weird quirks, but compared to the rest that's ok. On the other end, the "discussion" they had with Eren felt pointless as they will most probably end up talking anyway. These constant ideas about freedom and humanity and whatever, what's the point of any of that if by the end the guy just keeps killing people, most of which have nothing to do with the conflict at all. The genocidal freak that for some is a character study is to me someone that shows us what happens when you're able to stop a monster properly. The damage has been done already. In any case, I only hope that by the end they don't just forgive him with a pat in the back. PS: The Armin-Annie ship is also whatever, I didn't get much chemistry from this episode, but considering the context, that's fine. |

| The quality of this episode only further demonstrates that MAPPA weren't given enough time to animate the previous 28 episodes, especially S4P1, and it's a bloody shame, because you couple the storytelling ability of Isayama with this quality of output from Hayashi and his team and you get something very special. The first 10-15 minutes showing the destruction and death caused by the Rumbling and the juxtaposition of Eren's freedom monologue was some of the most harrowing, haunting anime I've seen. This was comfortably the best looking, best directed series of episodes by MAPPA and rivals anything WiT put out. |
Art1504 said: it was a very good episode and at some points it was an improvement over the manga, particularly Hanges death silversaint said: i didnt do any research so i was expecting a normal 25 minute episode, you can imagine my surprise to find a 1 hour special an then you can imagine my dissapointment when i found out we wont be getting episode 2 for several months Lol. I really can imagine. I'm so sorry for you to discover that this wasn't the end this way.🤣🤣 I hope that you liked the episode,tho. |
