| 'Hero' 'Midnight Sun' 'That Day' 'Perfect Game' 'Declaration of War' 'Warrior' In that order. 'Assault' would be somewhere between 7 and 10 in my top 10 of the series. |
| I almost teared up during Armin's sacrifice in Hero and Levi humiliating Zeke was a sight for sore eyes |
 |
| Assault wasn't even the best episode of the season imo. I think Declaration of war was better because it was able to have extremely high intensity without any action up until the end. Declaration of war is my favorite episode of AOT. Hero being right behind. |
| I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol. |
On_the_Lam said: It's insane how overrated Warrior is because of the 2 minutes at the end. The episode as a whole is mediocre, and the fact that it cuts back to a few hours earlier makes the reveal even less satisfying. YOUSEEBIGGIRL is also overrated as shit tbh Reiner and Bertholdt's betrayal was one of the most important scenes in the entire anime though. YOUSEEBIGGIRL is pretty overrated. But the episode itself was pretty good. Although, I dont think its as good as the other ones on the list or as good as Declaration of war. Should replace Warrior with Declaration of war tbh. |

| So far it would be between this 5. I honestly cannot choose one. - To You, in 2000 Years - Warriors - Friends - Bystander - Midnight Sun |
| For me it's "Crushing Blow"; episode 21 of S1. What I loved about it was the insane and nonstopping dramatic action The cinematography and arrangement of the soundtrack (I guess it was kinda overkill in a way) there was no other episode that gave me the same sense of excitement. I remember watching this for the first time when I came home drunk and literally sobered me up. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Probably these in no particular order, i cannot choose: -That day -Bystander -Warrior -Scream -Declaration of war |
 |
| I had to vote for Hero although Assault and S2 last ep came to a close call.Remember it was about the episode.Warrior certainly had the best moment so far,but thats just 5 mins.Nothing else was great that episode.The latest ep has everything done well.You got all out Titan war,Levi beating Monke,Scouts demolishing Pieck.Armin turning the port to ashes.Eren beating the shit out of Porco.And that Reiner comeback at the end.This was complemented by great 2D and 3D combo animation.We had no time to relax. And Hero was just too good.From animation to music to emotions to voice acting,everthing just came all together so good.That was the first big win we had over the titans. |
| I'm just waiting for chapter 120 being adaptep |
| I keep moving forward |
aTrueKingofEldia said: The fact that Assault was much less hyped compared to Declaration of War, Warhammer Titan and a lot of the upcoming episodes while turning out to be the most loved Season 4 episode at the moment speaks volumes about how well the episode was adapted. Overall I'd place it at the third place out of all AoT episodes, second being Warrior and the first being The Other Side of the Wall. That is what I call PURE PERFECTION Yeah i'm really impressed with how the episode turned out, expectations play a big factor too, the episode wasn't hyped so people were left surprised in a good way. |
|
| Nothing can beat Warrior, Reiner's reveal is the most epic moment in AoT, the direction and sound is just oh so amazing. Hero was good, but Warrior deserves the no. 1 spot. No season 4 episodes (Currently) get even close to episodes like Warrior or Hero. Last episode might be my 8th favourite episode. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| Midnight Sun remains my favorite episode. Assault is better than Hero tho, to me. |
 |
| The last one was definitely my favorite one. The buildup from all of the seasons came down to that one. |

| Oh by the way you might want to add more choices in the future, because there will be more episodes in this season that will be the BEST AoT episode. Or else this will be outdated. |

|
| This isn't favorite moments but favorite episodes. You can argue that Reiner/Bert reveal was a spectacular moment but it's also the only thing that was good in that episode. The entire first half of Warrior is the most boring part of the entire series. |
|
| Declaration of war was just above the others for me |
| check out odd taxi |
My top favorites, a lot more episodes are memorable and absolute masterpieces but if I had to pick episodes I think are absolute 11/10 banger episodes I could watch on repeat for the rest of my life these are the ones. |
| I sacrifice |

Though it's no wonder since there a lot of great episodes after it like season 2 episode 6 which is my other favorite. |

| I like this types of threads 👌 |

You started call overrated even music which is more subjective than any other media? For me it was perfect soundtrack, without it rainer and bert scene wouldn't be that good. |
| All these episodes are 10/10 but Hero is an 11/10 |
| Midnight Sun will always be my favourite. |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |

Though it's no wonder since there a lot of great episodes after it like season 2 episode 6 which is my other favorite. I guess it wasn't such a game changer episode. There was no big reveal, pay-off nor did it impact the narrative as much as others. Tho it had significant impact on Eren that you can still see today. Aside from that, recency bias is as strong as nostalgia, maybe even stronger with the all hype generated by social media. That also goes for other series. When episode 957 of One Piece came out it was immediately labeled as best episode ever by many xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I would also like to mention 1x21 (death of levi's squad) one of my favorites for sure. |
| Midnight Sun > Hero > Assault = Perfect Game > That Day > Scream > Crushing Blow: The 57th Exterior Scouting Mission, Part 5 > The Other Side of the Wall > The War Hammer Titan > a draw between too many episodes for the 10th spot. Midnight Sun is an episode I didn't think AOT could pull off back when I first started the series so it remains the most impressive achievement of Isayama's storytelling chops to me. The use of silence throughout the entire thing, the voice acting, the art, the direction, everyone just brought their A+ game. Hero is the quintessential pay-off episode with two of the most iconic moments in the series. Assault and Perfect Game are as good as any "intermediary action-packed despair-filled episode" can get. That Day is haunting. Scream remains a special episode for Hannes' death and how well the story has restrained from pulling off the coordinate again. Crushing Blow is just high caliber blood-pumping adrenaline action. The Other Side of the Wall's last scene has this ephemeral melancholic beauty to it that I can't help but often think back to. The War Hammer Titan was just great pay-off for Declaration of War. The 10th spot is a draw between Declaration of War, Bystander (Shadis' story), Children (Ymir's flashback), Warrior, Reiner vs Eren round 1 and Charge. I will say that looking at these results I do find Warrior and Declaration to be a tad bit overrated. Maybe it's because I tend to gravitate more towards emotional pay-offs than plot developments or twists. FMmatron said: For me it's "Crushing Blow"; episode 21 of S1.

I remember watching this for the first time when I came home drunk and literally sobered me up. Finally, someone else who aknowledges the greatness of episode 21. As far as action episodes are concerned it's one of the best. It's weird how overlooked it is considering it has a 92.77% approval rate on MAL and is the highest rated episode of the first season on IMDB. People sleep on a lot of season 1 episodes in general. There's definitely some recency bias at play in these polls. |
| I am surprised how episode 1 of season 1 hasn't been mentioned yet. The one that started it all. It's legit one of the greatest first episodes of any anime out there (at least in my experience) and definitely mine favorite start of a TV anime. It's one of the biggest reasons for AoT's explosion in 2013 |
| UGH, I was so invested when I was first watching Hero and Midnight sun, the same thing with the reveal in Warrior, same thing with the plot reveals in That Day and Attack Titan, and yea it's like that for a long time. I'll choose Hero. It had everything. |
| I go for Hero because Erwin is just awesome and the best character on this anime IMHO, he's simply the man's man. There are a lot of excellent episodes in this anime. |
| Hero is the obvious choice imo for an action episode. Regarding episodes with little to no action my ranking is: 1. Declaration of War 2. Midnight Sun 3. Bystander (This hit me in the feels but is probably considered filler to others) |
| 1x05 The scene of Eren's "death" give me goosebumps every time. |
