Zeke and Pieck join the war!

Eren still has a lot of strength to turn into a titan, and finally Armin appears, and he turns into a titan, I love Armin's current hairstyle!

Eren used Porco's jaws to crush warhammer titan crystals, nice Eren


he looks really cool

This episode is a literal diamond my dudes. The feels here are unreal, good lord. Gabi's VA and Falco's VA are on a next level, all that screaming.

Also with Jean questioning to kill both Pieck and Falco, but my guy just goes and shoots lmao. The calamity of war is an interesting watch indeed, watching people's action during such a time.

Also, did MAL go down because of this?

Yes! They played that iconic theme this franchise has been known for since the first epiosde.

Hell of a battle this episode with the titans. What's more intense is how they kept the psychological mood in tact from the human side as well. There's Mikasa, Armin, etc all geared up for this fight. Incredible episode. This marks one of the best imo so far from this season.

Eren used the Jaw titan to break her crystal shell. It was a great episode plot-wise.

I've endured it for so long but I think it's finally the time for me to admit it. Eren vs Jaw Titan's CG was fucking HORRIBLE. The first scene where Mikasa swung around titans looked absolutely trash. I'm not hating on the guys at MAPPA and I know that they're doing their best animating it. I just wish they had more time to work on it.

A lot of action, great music and some cool movements.

This was a lot better than the last one.

Man, I really like the Panzer Squad. Even if they are Marleyans.
I love how they get along with Pieck.

Happiness is having bros to simp Pieck together.

And those pictures behind are a nice detail from Mappa.


Watching this just... broke my heart. Look at the pictures on the left.


I feel bad how they ended...

Best action episode so far, the only bad cgi was when Eren was holding the crystal with Galliard. The only thing that makes me cringe is Galliard's plot armor at the end but that's a problem with the source material and not the staff. 4/5

Better than what I expected tbh . CGI was janky throughout the episode . Eren is looking the same . Really bad . Colossal titan was good . Pick and Galliard were alright . Beast was better than ep 1 . I was laughing when they used the beast titan theme for Eren . Galliard vs Eren was bad honestly . Did I just see CGI levi ?On the top of Zeke ?

That was so good, the cgi was consistently good this episode, the first few scenes before the opening was a little shaky with the camera work, but everything else was amazing! The ost usage imo was good and really fit the scene.

I also like the part where Sasha shot one of the panzer team and it was just silence and also the scene where Falco and Gabi was calling for Reiner and it had no ost but was so good, those VA put in work in this episode.

Overall a fantastic episode and if all the cgi scenes are consistently good as this, I can totally live with this, also 2d Collosal titan looked great as well.

Easy 100/5.

This was a superb episode. Right up there with Episode 5.

Levi looked great. Armin looked pretty damn good. Jean's model looked so much better this episode.

I don't think they missed much off the manga, if anything at all.

Gabi and Falco's VAs are killing it.

The OST was on point this episode as well.

I actually felt a little bad for the Marleyans here, I don't remember feeling that way in the manga at all. They got absolutely demolished. Testament to the direction.

Using dynamic camera movements does make the 3DCG more bearable. I thought the Beast titan looked fine overall as did other titans. The only one who’s model looked off at times was the Attack titan. Soundtrack was fine but nothing special. Fights were enjoyable even tho it was a one-sided slaughter and we finally got to see the Nutcracker titan

The character designs and overall hand drawn art and animation was the best so far apart from episode 1 I thought. Levi and Mikasa looked good as did Armin and others. Some screenshots:


One thing I thought could’ve been improved was Armin’s transformation into the Colossal titan, I thought it could’ve been made a bit more epic visual-wise but that’s me nitpicking.. example

This was SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD bruh. There were a hell lot of 2D moments inserted, and the blend between 2D and 3D was better as well compared to the previous episode. All the major moments were covered as well: Armin's entry, Pieck's slaughter, and Reiner's transformation. Hell, they made even Reiner as 2D. Damn that looked so dope. 10/10 episode once again fam! Now, next episode:

Cgi was really well done, nothing that seemed subpar by any means, loved the entire ep.

Poor Galliard got clapped šŸ’€šŸ’€

Oh well ODM scenes this season are fucked. CGI ODM is just ugly and has no fluidity. The slash animation feels so fucking cheap.

Armin looked amazing and the long distance shots of the Collosal as well. Wasn't a fan of the Collosal's body in the near up shots though. (looked something that came from S1 and looked too glossy there. Armin was really fucking skinny in the manga if I'm not wrong )
Face looked fine as usual.

Loved the explosion OST but the overall OST usage has been just 'okay'

The attack titan is just depressingly bad. The nutcracker scene was unfortunately disappointing. Still not a fan of the metallic SFX for Reiner's titan but I guess it's fine.


Can't believe how they've managed to make our horse so much worse and Eren just meh.

The persistent issues of the shitty filters remain but I guess it's a slight improvement

If this is the standard this season maintains holy fuck 116-119 will be a huge letdown

Amazing episode! Definitely one of my faves so far. The CGI was consistent. Armin looked so pretty. The scene I was awaiting excitedly, i.e. Porco being used as a nutcracker was insane! I felt so bad for him, Reiner and Gabi. And the OST slapped on top of it all. Great work from mappa 10/5

This is the best episode this season so far. CGI is awesome, some shot kinda off but its allright. Camera movement hell yeah. When eren plug off jaw titan hands kinda satisfiying, just like Thanksgiving. The Isabel crystal looks lit.

The backsound and the ost is rlly different from prev eps, thats really show the different of perspective and thats great. Armin atomic bomb is really silent, just tragic everywhere. easy 10/10

Gabi and Falco's VA is insane, but for Porco VA is kinda missed for me, but thats no problem

im used to the CGI already and the OST was on point.

props to Ayaneru and Hanae Natsuki for that voice acting

i freakin love the atmosphere when Eren about to eat the Warhammer aka the Nutcracker scene, that was intense.

also i love the way they directing Reiner's monologue at the last moment. '

i agree this is by far the best episode along with episode 5

Again, brilliant episode.Even the art was phenomenal throughout all the actions.The cg of jaws and AT was brilliant. Besides, Eren big braining that WT.And Reiner seems to finally gain the resolve to not die. Bruh I am literally fanboying rn lol.
