| funny how 3 episodes in the opening song is really starting to grow on me x'D I really like the way it starts especially now, though I hated it in the first ep lol Eren!!! I'm a bit confused as to what happened to his foot though, didn't he have regenerative powers? Hrrrm |
keragamming said: I think they purposely put this scene at the ending, because they are expecting anime only to figure out it was Eren. I think this is suppsoe to be a oh shit moment at the end. It will never be an "oh shit moment" because of certain people who put mature Eren pictures every where lol. |

HyperL said: Inferno792 said: Come on! How hard can it be to not cut important scenes? Very hard considering they only have 16 episodes to work with. 16 episodes are not gonna be enough for the entire remaining content. So we're gonna have part 2/movie. This is AoT we're talking about so the number of episodes shouldn't be a barrier to making the highest quality episodes they can. |
| Ohhhhh........Damn............Got to know the backstory of the Riener. Like the Creator said.......I did kinda start liking Riener. Saw some clear scenes of Eren. I could tell just by hearing the Voice of Yuki Kaji. But some people are saying that he was "Eren Kruger" what is up with that??? |
 |
| The biggest problem weren't even the cuts, but the pacing. There is no room to breath between the scenes, even during dialogues there is hardly any pause or silences in between, and pauses are very important to give scenes the tension they are supposed to convey to the viewer. I knew there was no way Reiner's flashback could have been properly adapted in a single episode. Cutting most of Reiner's struggle makes him seeing himself in Eren less meaningful than it's supposed to be. Cutting Annie luring the titans to the wall, and instead just skipping from her being choked by Reiner to her awakening inside the walls, make it seems like she played no part in the attack on Wall Maria, the iconic event which started everything, while she actually contributed to it as much as Reiner and Bert. It's a 3/5 for me, despite all the flaws the story is just that good to carry this mess upon its shoulders. Now, preview of ep 4 clearly reveals it's ending on chapter 98's end, which means ep 5 will be full chapters 99 and 100 since ending it on 100 would be the most fitting cliffhanger. Really? Chapter 99 and 100 in a single episode? The highest peak of the series, both chapters extremely packed with dialogues in one episode? Some of you guys keep saying the pacing will be better from now on but i can't see how could this be the case, cutting ANYTHING, any line, from chapters 99 and 100 is tantamount to a spit to the manga itself imho. I just hope to be wrong and that ep 5 won't adapt the full chapter 100. |
| Best episode so far, better than episode 1 and much better than episode 3. The backstory was actually quite interesting to connect all the little dots and now we know exactly what those three were doing inside the walls all the time. Also Reiner's schizophrenia is clearley explained, though it was already assumed that it had something to do with Marcel. That scene in the end there though... is that... is that Eren? First I wondered if it was the same voice actor until he looked into the camera in the end and we saw his green eyes. Is he infiltrating Marley? Now I wonder if someone else from the gang has appeared on screen as well in adult form and I just haven't noticed. |
WIIXAnd said: True. I've seen this picture of him everywhere and only now I'm aware his new look was supposed to be a surprise. And I was already spoiled about some other event. Manga readers really don't give a shit about anime only people.keragamming said: I think they purposely put this scene at the ending, because they are expecting anime only to figure out it was Eren.

| Finally seeing Reiner, Berthold and Annie backstory that I've heard about for so long was really good. Children growing up under such propaganda, only wanting the best for their people and families, and hatred for their own race. Now Berthold dead, Annie captured. And Reiner doesn't seem to care about anything anymore, other than next gen warriors. Despite being the most brainwashed kid of all. Eren looked very epic in the end, probably with even more hatred toward Marleyans, can't wait for his reunion with Reiner. |
| There were some weird cuts at the start of the second half, but overall pretty good. So Eren and the gang already infiltrated Marley? I thought they were going to show us them with a grand entrance, but alright. |
| holy shit the flashback blew my mind. there's all reason for what happened from the very beginning. I'm just speechless here. And the person who faked his PTSD is Eren right?? right??? as a non-manga readers I feels like its all coming together hell yeah.. |

| Easily the worst episode so far. Here's why I think so. The music used in the first few minutes of the episode is same as the episode 1 soundtrack which is same as the PV track. I held hope as we heard a sliver of banger ost at the end of ep2 but the reuse of the in-your-face PV track is not a good showing for the Music dept as a whole. Also, can't say the music placement is any good in all of the episodes thus far. The voice acting isn't as good as it could be either, imo. The blur is gone in the 3rd episode and I hope it stays that way. But, I'm really not liking the ambitious cinematic take that Mappa took this season. Looks forced and cheap. Trying too hard, eh? Now the main issue is the awful pacing of 2ch/ep. This is apparent in the recent episode as the anime doesn't stay on a scene long enough, which makes it seem like they're trying to rush through the story to get to the action. And since action heavy episodes fit perfectly in the pacing, it only exacerbates the issue. Blood_Butterfly said: WTF Mappa!!!! What kind of pacing is that, looks like I'm watching Batman v Superman all over again. The cut too much content, I don't feel the Reiner's mental battle of be a soldier or a warrior, with is one of the best part of the manga. I feel nothing about Reiner's father call him a devil. The scene with Reiner create a new persona after Marcel dies lost all of the meaning and the weight. The scenes with Ysaiama creates parallels between Reiner, Beth, and Annie and Eren, Armin and Mikasa pass so fast that i blink my eye and it is over. And Mappa don't explain what Annie is follow Kenny and What they don't steal the Founder Titan. What to expect of the same studio behind the God of high school (Sorry for my sketchy English, English is not my first or second language) Ikr. And I agree with you. This season feels so soulless even though in the Manga it's the opposite. They should've cut out the stupid Op/Ed like how Re:Zero does. It is an effective method to get more time. So sad they didn't do that here. Mod Edit: Merged. |

Attackonfiller said: I've got quite a bit to say regarding Reiner's backstory, but I think I'll keep that for the other thread. Hobo hits real different animated. Holy shit that was glorious! Edit: I'll just add it here. The cutting and rushing seems necessary for the rest of part 1, so I can't complain too much with what was sacrificed here. My only complaints is the titan chasing being taken out, as well as the much needed context for Annie's spying activity. They kept the rest of the essentials, which I'm glad for. I don't know why they didn't cut the OP or ED for this episode to do more, as it would have definitely helped A LOT lol They also cut Falco's first meeting with the Hobo I think. Terrible. |

GenericName-2 said: Not at all. Giving the young warriors proper intel would mean telling them the truth about their Eldian ancestor which is not in line with the Marleyan propaganda. "Sending children to take the Founding Titan sounds insane to me." Who thought it was a good idea to send children on this mission without a plan or proper intel? Why are the warrior candidates all children? Is there a specific reason why they can't use more capable adults? Is Marley just comically stupid for the sake of plot? Why all children? Because their mind can still be easily shaped and manipulated to suit Marley's agenda. Remember how Zeke sold his own parents to the Marleyan government because they were plotting a revolt? That's exactly why they start training the warrior candidates since childhood. Brainwashing. copperypilot56_ said: By "Colt", do you mean Falco? Anime only here: Been seeing a lot about fast pacing and putting a few chapters in this one episode but to me, it just seemed like another great, well-written, well-paced episode and Eren’s dagger eyes were EPIC, had to pop off after that, but this episode has really made Reiner and Colt warm on me, I’m now very curious to see what their fates will be by the end Colt is actually Falco's older brother, the one who is appointed to inherit the Beast Titan. But, either way is fine though, the brothers are both lovable characters. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/ I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |
| Does anybody know if its confirmed that there are only 13 episodes left or is there a part 2 for the last season? Because i dont see that they can finish the story in 13 episodes without a rushed ending... |
| I'm finally starting to like this season. |

| I really enjoyed this episode and how it showcased Reiner's backstory and what he, Annie and Berthold were up to before they got to Wall Rose and how dire their situation was at times. Seeing Annie kick Reiner was brutal, but so was Reiner getting back at her with a powerful chokehold. What was surprising was that during the flashback, they did showcase Reiner's armoured titan and Annie's female titan moving and attacking in normal 2D animation, rather than the CGI we saw of the armoured back in episode 1. I do welcome this, even if the CGI is decent enough as it is. Back with Falco, he ended up talking to a "hobo" in the hospital grounds, but by the looks of it, it was actually Eren. His look did fool me, until it showed a close up of his face. This is already setting up for an even more promising next episode now. =) |

Because i dont see that they can finish the story in 13 episodes without a rushed ending... I´ve read the manga a year ago. Dont know how much i missed with the last few volumes but even what i know you cant possibly put this stuff in 13 episodes. But on the other side its the final season. They have to bring the mainplot to an end. Hopefully we dont get a Game of Thrones 2.0.... |
| Yay!! Eren is back!! But, I think if people just only watch anime, it’s difficult to catch up the story line. It looked a little blur. I hope the audience will catch up the story. Also, I became to like ED. |

This is AoT we're talking about so the number of episodes shouldn't be a barrier to making the highest quality episodes they can. I know that, but they still are contractually obligated to cover everything up to chapter 122. 32 chapters in 16 episodes is still such a tight fit it's not possible to include everything. |

Mathi786 said: Don't worry, I'm also a anime only. The information I know was what manga readers have told in the forums, and so far I only know about 3 things: how many chapters have been released, what chapter the Final Season started and how many chapters per episode they're adapting. They started on chapter 91, they're adapting 2 chapters per episode and there's currently 136 chapters released. If you do the math, and they keep this pacing, episode 16 would be ending on chapter 122. So there will be left 14 chapters + the last couple of chapters there are still going to release.thiago52192 said: There's not an official confirmation, however there's a lot of information we know that basically proves there will be some kind of sequel.

Tyfyazzela said: Bababazooka69 said: Lol are u sure you are not watching the episodes blindfolded? i mean for many the main highlight from ep 2 was that falco and hobo scene especially for manga readers Lol. This happens when people come rushing to this forum after every episode and just jump on the bandwagon. I bet he didn't watch the episode and found something on other forum and copy pasted it here. People like him lose credibility by their own. Stfu people. I have somewhat bad memory. I watched all the episodes and I even accepted when I was wrong. However, the things I wrote about pacing are absolutely true. Many other people feel tbe same way. Take your fanboyism elsewhere and stop assuming shit about people. |

| Omg....... I cried when Reiner wanted to end his life. Fuck that was so sad. Great episode the direction was really good. Young Reiner VA was amazing as well he did a great job. I actually liked how “fast” this episode was, in the sense that how it seemed like it was all over the place, how it transitioned from Reiner’s past to present, it was his literal mental state. Also I can’t wait to see the rest, like my Jeanboi (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
wakenowakane said: MAPPA DOING AOTs ANIMATION JUSTICE? I DID NOT SEE THIS SHIT COMING OMFG LETS GOOOOO!!!! I'm going to be honest, this is by far the best looking episode I've watched. They didn't hit my baby Anni with the CGI bullshit, heck even Collosal Titan was well animated for like the 5 seconds that it appeared. Jaw titan looked better in this. Cart titan and Armoured Titan still have CGI which is still very disappointing after getting my hopes up seeing Annie not being subjected to MAPPAs shitty CGI. Horses were CGI for some reason, bruh. The VAs kinda don't fit certain characters. The music choices are top notch and fit in really well. THE ART OMG THE ART LOOKS SO NICE! They did cut some scenes here and there for some reason ngl... THEY REMOVED THEIR SHITTY BLUR EFFECT OMG I'M SO HAPPY! THEY DIDN'T USE THEIR SHITTY CAMERA MOVEMENTS EITHER! OMG ARE THEY ACTUALLY LISTENING TO US?😭😭😭 EREN FLASHBACK LOOKS SICK BRUV. WHY AM I SO HAPPY???? Next few episodes are going to be REALLY EPIC. I still can't get into the opening and ending so I just skip both those :D MAPPA is finally doing good! I can see them doing justice to a lot scenes moving forward. For some reason they are still cutting panels here and there which all I'm going to say is pls don't FFS. This episode felt really nice and really fits well with previous seasons art and animation. 6/10 restored my faith in AOT Final seasons animation and art. MAPPA you good, pls surprise us more by dropping CGI and not cutting important scenes next episode. FFS the CGI is now the only problem I have with AOT Final season. Looks really low budget and choppy. Also pls don't cut panels here and there it feels kinda rushed 😡 lmfao same. but i have some doomer thoughts about CGI: the only did annie titan in 2D because she doesn't appear much in this season (i think,not a manga reader) and doing her CGI is too expensive for few seconds.that's why the armored and beast were still CGI. but regardless,its great in terms of animation and i have high hopes for ep4/5/6 |
| This episode was simply amazing. I can't say whether it was better than the first one. It was different for sure. I really loved the tone and general atmosphere of it. Reiner's past, his motivations, and going on a mission to Paradis. It was cool to see Jean and Annie again. I liked their designs more than in the previous episodes. Since this Season's artstyle is closer to the manga's one, I'm glad I like it more, haha. |
| Am super excited for the next ep! Eren (and possibly Jean?) have infiltrated Marley? And it alludes to a unimaginable reunion for Reiner, so guess he will meet one/both of them next ep! |
