Considering how you’ve rated prior seasons 5s or 6s it probably wasn’t going to make you hyphy. Props on forcing yourself to watch something you obviously dislike tho.
Oh, so I'm not supposed to watch things I consider average or just fine, because that means I actively disliked it, not that I see issues in it, I see. Thanks for teaching me how to give ratings properly.
No one said anything about your scoring abilities. You came here and obviously sarcastically asked what was supposed to hype you up knowing full well you don't enjoy the show to give it more than a 5/6. You can rate it a 1 if you want but don't come in here and play confused just so you can shit on something. If all it did for you is a 6 so far then it obviously wouldn't jump to a 10. Continue watching if you want, and rate it however you want. But don't expect to be hyped for any of the episodes of a show that's been average so far. :)

Actually that was quite tricky episode, because it contained practiacally zero animation.
That was mostly a slideshow, some mixture of simple efortless animation with camera mooving around.
Anyway I'm still withholding my rating.
I'm very curious how the studio will handle the next week fight... this is going to be very important point in whole season and Mappa won't evade animation that easily.


Same thing DP did in JoJo when they were saving the budget for the important fights , even Bones did it with MHA

There is NO wrong OST to choose, you either like it or you don't.
surely there is, you can't just throw in anything and expect it to work, even for aot.
Of course, but this did work and that's my point.

Yeah but lets not talk about the MHA episode, it was disappointing, like a whole lot especially coming from bones, infact even the following episode. it only improved in ep 13, and i really hope the fight scenes will be great starting next ep of aot s4.

The animation and direction was mediocre in this episode, below-par I'd even say compared to most of the other episodes, but in terms of storytelling and intensity, by far the best one so far in this season. The first real episode of this final season's that got my interest most of the time. Reiner's voice actor deserves a special mention for how excellent his voice acting performance was for Reiner the entire time, especially by the end.

Oh shit, this is where things go from 10 to 100 in terms of action. Great build up to the speech and transformation as well.

Thing is some people are overreacting like AOT S4 is like OPM Season 2 or NNT done by Deen.

Yes it kinda did in maintaining the momentum of the scene

EDIT: I'd like to add that, @NextUniverse the thing is I feel he means to see it didn't feel out of place or made the moment loose momentum at all. This is kinda what happens when you make a certain ost playing in your mind before it comes out, not that I'm defending the rather poor choice, but it isn't half as bad as people describe it and didn't even take anything away from the episode except what u felt like you wanted to hear

You say no one said anything about my scoring abilities, but clearly two posters did - it was even the first criticism they threw in. Besides, claiming something is going to 'break the internet' is bound to attract negative attention, even for a hyperbole or a meme. People said it was going to break the internet, I wanted to know what exactly was supposed to break the internet: the transformation seen a dozen times already or an exposition speech about the lore. It's not my fault fans get salty about being questioned.

The musical score wasn't that bad in my opinion, I thought it fit the episode throughout since what willy was doing was essentially a play in the background of his speech. The one with Eren transforming wasnt that bad either, just cause its not the music score you want doesnt make it a bad score. Over all, I enjoyed the episode. Episode 6 is gonna be crazy.

YOUSEEBIGGIRL wouldve definitely sounded great for the transformation but i dont think it fits the theme well tho.
YOUSEEBIGGIRL always played for revealing something new and making our hearts explode.
here we just saw mad eren transforming (no surprises)

Read the comments and you will know why, some manga readers were not pleased by the episode. That is your answer.

Though, we have to keep in mind that the official subs has not even been released yet and that most persons that watch the episodes are manga readers.

Which means their is a chance in a couple of hours time when anime only watch the episode it could go over 90%.

??????what was those last 10 seconeds, di they just use a heroic ost for eren killing children and commiting terorism, this is the 3rd time they miss, ep1 with that titanfall scene, ep3 with that wierd trailer ost on reiner's past and now this??
Honestly this season was also a downgrade in ost placment not just animation,
Anything other than 2volt would've fitted the scene more.
We shouldn't hyped anime onlies for this that much
Anime onlies love this episode tho. They don't have OSTs prepared in advance in their head like manga readers who have been fapping to YOUSEEBIGGIRL for 3 years with motion manga.

Horrible animation mess. 5/10 at best. Animated panels of the manga on YouTube are so much better than whatever the MAPPA staff decided to throw at this episode.


The fan animations are not good for a anime. People bring to much hype and things that maybe are not included in the episode. Music was perfect, I read the manga and I thought this episode was a nearly a perfect adaptation of the manga.

I've never said I hated the franchise, but this fandom has reached such levels of rabid fanboyism that simple criticisms are taken as attacks on the show.

I didn't see anything spectacular in this episode, others didn't as well - see how anyone can use anecdotes to back their claims? Telling me it 'broke the internet' isn't actually 'breaking the internet', it's just fans liking and praising an episode.

That's just manga readers hyping out every single moment. I can't blame them but it creates a lot of false images. Some fans expected full blown action

it was what I was on a moment ago with @armchair3

the term "broke the internet" doesn't mean anything now due to how it is used. whilst you didn't find the episode special, manga readers that have been waiting years for that decided to just overblow it out of proportion. honestly, I have read the manga but this episode wasn't all that 10/10 material to me.
