Wit staff can easily recreate this episode miles better and its not even debatable Everything is perfect in this episode. I'm confident to say that Wit Studio can't recreate todays episode animation. The music, the animation, the drama, all perfect. I hope this MAPPA ruined AoT animation BS laid to rest now. 10/10 can you just appreciate their work for creating a good 2d sakuga in this ep? it's okay to hate Mappa for being greedy but you literally disrespect their staff at this point |

| Don't believe the hype. |
Zprotu said: TheRailTracerMAL said: The second half of the episode has some epic moments and decent sakuga action scenes. The first half, on the other hand, is a literal slideshow. I guess Gabi's moment and the entire buildup to it doesn't exist That depends on if you give a shit about Gabi to be honest. |
| RIP Pixis, but welcome back Annie! I did not think of her at all when Reiner said his hardening got removed, but yeah it makes sense that she's free again. Guess Gabi got a bit of a redemption episode this time, still don't like her though. Surprisingly Eren can't control Zeke's titans, guess the founding is not all-mighty like that. Wonder why Zeke made them run rampage though, where is he anyway? Good episode. |
hichamkab123 said: Insecurity here would = trying to justify the ending is objectively good and no one can criticize it. However simply sharing the fact that not all people disliked it and many even love it seems very fair given the circumstances. Especially considering how huge the amount of people that allow mass opinions to sway their love and interpretation of a show is; hearing purely negative comments will only trigger your bias to find more flaws while watching the episode and this can ruin your experience. In an ideal community people would neither express their love nor hate for the ending and upcoming events, since both can trigger biases and anime only should judge for themselves. But we're talking manga readers here and most of what they seem to thrive at is ruining the experience for anime only people. Well I can't really disagree with you there, comments from others can influence someone's opinion on something. However, it's just that I find it a bit too hilarious that they explicitly state for them to not pay heed to the opinions of ending haters and worry about their experience being ruined. I think it's insecurity but I get your point. |
Yesterday, you were the defeated. What have you become today? |

Well to be fair the reception so far has been completely the same as with the manga  Albeit manga has a smaller sample size. If the trend continues then next episode is going to be lower with 5/5s being ~77% of votes(which is not bad at all, but it's SNK we're talking about). |
| Perfect valentines day episode for Attack on Titan haha this was a love letter to the show. Just some classic Titan slicin' atop some buildings, I'm sure Mikasa was having at least a little fun showing off in front of the new recruits. I had been wondering about Annie this whole time and the reveal at the end was so perfect I had no idea what Armin was talking about. So glad I'm hear to watch this as it unfolds. Oh I also did tear up when Kaya looked at Gabi and saw Sasha. Yeah that hit pretty good. |
| Pixis scene was the best thing from this episode. |
| Episode was kinda OK as far as I'm concerned but, for fuck's sake, no more Gabi please. |
| Seeing this aftermath that Eren has started I think the whole world's going to take a taste of their own medicine At least the gang is back although Connie has his plans of his own and I think we're going to see Annie in the next episode after this. |

| Are ya winning, diners? |
| i wanna say that I WAS HERE when AOTS4P2 became the highest ranked anime on the MAL index, overtaking FMA:B for the first time since. there goes the obvious best character, and my favourite character, commander pixis.   no words |

| That episode was amazing!!! I cried a bit since parts of the episode reminded me of classic AoT with them just killing titans, and the scene where they did the ODM gear scene similar to the original 1st season was just really sick and sad since it reminded me of the old seasons. I also saw the title early and I theorized that Annie will be back this episode and I was right! Gabi has become a better character in each episode now I like that she understands everything better now. Amazing episode! Overall 10/10 episode! ODM gear scene  |
 |
| The fights against pure titans reminded me of the beginning of the series They were swept too easily though I'm sad they took Falco away, I was hoping he would at least do something as Jaw titan, we will see ig Also, can't wait for Annie's return |
| Couldn't stop smiling when Barricades started playing along with some good old-fashioned titan killing. |
| This episode was pretty epic in many ways. It was really nice to see some 2D ODM animation again and the production staff did a good job of it while blending into the CGI background. The OST playing while Mikasa, Jean and the others were hacking down the pure titans was great, too. That also meant we had to say goodbye to Pixis, who was taken out by Armin. =( As for Gabi, she was pretty badass as well, with the way she came into the scene, anti-titan rifle in hand to blow the crap out of the titan at point blank range. However, she fell into despair after hearing what happened to Falco now that Connie has gone a bit AWOL. The biggest surprise came at the very end of the episode as we FINALLY see Annie again, now out of her crystallised shell all thanks to Eren's powers. Looking forward to the next episode as always! =) |
| so many stuff this episode!!!! sasha appearance and annie's comebACKKK!!! also when they played barricades <33333 |
  |
| Barricades is a fine ost. However, something about that music playing while they're killing what used to be their comrades just kinda rubs me in a weird way and not a good one. I guess I just found it a it's a little too upbeat for that situation. |
 |
| The shit which was spoiled in the op since episode 1 happened. Yay. The cgi rumbling was better than expected. My concerns of shit cgi from season 3 part 2 went away. Wit studio dropping this show was probably for the best for everyone involved. I liked the return of the mindless titans. It's like I'm finally watching Attack on Titan again. |
| R.I.P Commander Pyxis and the black haired guy, whose name I do not remember. You had to give the AoT salute to them. |
| Loved the analogy to when the og squad was surrounded by titans in a fortress. The fight scenes were also really cool. I'd like to have more insight into what Armin is thinking lol, also loved the Annie ending. |
| This episode had me feeling all sorts of sentiments.. Commander pixis scene was heartbreaking, made me shed some tears. Everyone fighting against the titans brought back some memories it's been a while since we witnessed it. And Armin's love interest is back.. this season of aot is quite something! |
"just imagining it gets me all fired up"  |
| Annie, you really are as beautiful as the day I lost you. |
 |
| It's a plot contrivance and a funny one at that considering the last chapter. That's all. |

| Good episode. Can't wait to see the greatest genocide of all time! |

I mean he is destroying the world to protect the people of Paradis, how is leaving those titans running loose help that? And we saw he CAN control them when he touched his dad's first wife a long time ago. Oh well at least Annie was back. NMFolks said: MenchiK1 said: I agree this seemed like a contrivance.

Those pure titans belong to Zeke they have his spinal fluid which means they are his not Eren. |
| That callback to S1 times was such a fucking vibe. And Gabi's character arc was also quite the ride. Loved the pay-off here. These moments of humanity amidst the darkest hour have something incredibly sincere. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| One word for this episode : Annie ! And I hate that they keep showing Sasha, my heart... Gabi will never replace our potato girl ! As manga readers I saw this long time ago and Im still crying ;-; (I dont understand Gabi lovers too) |
| Another great episode and what a roller coaster of emotions. The tension is going through the roof, which could especially be noticed in the scene with Armin, Mikasa, Jean and Conny. The situation with Conny's mother is terrible, no doubt about that, but would she really want him to sacrifice a child? That's what he should ask himself. It's also crazy to hear Jean trying to justify and even defend Eren's current plan. That just shows how fucked up the world is their living in. Not that he isn't right with lots of things he mentioned, but like Armin said, it's genocide of unprecedented scale. The way they were surrounded by the pure titans, combined with "BARRICADES" playing in the background, during the action, was just perfect and reminded me a lot on the earlier seasons where everything was still very mysterious. What a horrific moment when Kaya almost got eaten by that titan. But I'm glad Gabi was able to rescue her. Seemed like both of them finally realized how stupid their mindset was. And Niccolo honestly couldn't have found better words: "The world is like this, cuz there's a devil in all of us". I got pretty sad at the part with commander Pyxis. Another great character gone. RIP :( What an incredible character development for Gabi in this episode. All the events on Paradis and especially the meeting with the Braus family was an important step for her to understand what's important in life. I already liked her before, but now she easily became one of my fav characters. I can't believe Annie is back after such a long time. This made very excited for next episode :D |
 |
| 10/10 episode. Was it just me or did I see Pyxis in the Commandant? Also pain was the gang having to kill Pyxis, but also a bit bittersweet. They did well. Honestly I kind of wonder if someone had the freezing power, if they could refreeze all the ones we lost. Also, Annie holy shit.... hello. Are you the savior to end the chaos? Or are you able to stop Eren? Now that I think about it, I'm surprised her power hasn't been absorbed by Warrior candidates. But also lastly, on the rambling - I'm kind of really surprised that Armin didn't just take off sprinting towards Annie the moment he heard about the armor weakening. Fully coming full circle it feels like. |
| GABIIII WHAT A BADASS. finally some more titan vs humans lol, simpler times. but damn even then, that was still pretty fuckin intense. pyxis getting showm and all.. man. glad he got an on screen death tho, and that lil flashback too. o7 reaaally really really hope we get to see more of reiner istfg if thats the last. connie losing it.. yikes. very understandable tho. im just rly worried for the dude honestly ANNIE OUTTTT!! LETS GOOO MY WIFE SHES OUT OF THAT ODDLY PRETTY ICE SHELL WOOOHOO |
| Hands down for this episode, good action, good character interactions, great plot development again after a few strange turns and a great reminder of the awesomeness of the maneuver gear. Bad Eren didn't stop the human eating titans, will it be explained, but oh well they are dead now lol. Of course they didn't bother to try to stop the wall titans Gabi's anti titan rifle lol I liked that. NoBoDY-5 said: ... I still don't understand the Gabi haters why are they still hating her because of a character like Sasha she was not even that important character. Please don't rub salt on it XD She wasn't important enough to be killed in my opinion. Gabi should have rather shot someone else though... maybe Armin. |
