| I'm getting tired of this. Mappa is a terrible studio full of hacks that can't even make a single sequence of good animation, can't choose a goddamn soundtrack, not even if their life depended on it and then on top of that we have dog-shit pacing. What a disaster. I feel bad for Wit studio employees that even with a worse schedule in s3p2 gave their best to give us quality animation when they were also doing a Kabaneri movie and Vinland Saga at the same time. Keep in mind Wit Studio has only 34 employees. There is no excuse for this. |
| One of the worst episodes this season. I don't know, it feel dragged to me. |
 |
| I’m very impatient for every single episode so I’m hype ever second of this cour. It all began to where everyone was talking about Eren’s behavior and intentions, even Mikasa was devastated when Eren hates the clinginess and protectiveness out of her but surely Eren wants to save humanity in his own way to get some fresh ocean :( Wonder who will be the hero after all since both POVs of two respective ethnic groups can’t be for yourself to be against to, Eren’s immortality and the uncontrol of his titan inheritance gives a tough progression to save humanity but that implies the same to what Reiner and the rest of the traitors have done to Eren and his friends, so equally both of them looks like they have a lack of sympathy to one another and their goal is not even one dimension. I gotta admit, Eren’s character design looks a lot better than the first four and Zeke saying “brother” made me totally lost. It would be a lot funnier when it’s said in English but with some accent to it, eventually Eren’s titan got unconscious for a bit. Also I’ve come to like Gabi’s character a lot more although I liked her from the very beginning when she finally understood her own responsibility for what she has done to Falco. Honestly manga can be confusing for me because I don’t understand who is who and I didn’t fucking realized Shadis was alive thanks to the adaptation. Pixis the absolute bald chad is back and he’s as captionist as ever. Also hey! The blonde hair girl that Mikasa saved back in season 1 is back still supporting Mikasa as always, also Mikasa leaving the scarf away made me sad but that’s alright because she’s fighting for her own life to save humanity :( Also Yelena is as happy as ever when seeing that airship exploding a quarter of humanity thanks to Zeke’s help I guess. Yelena makes assumptions way too quick about Zeke who now makes all the levi stans and simps cry over the 1st episode of this 2nd cour. Armin sure has a very explanatory methodology to save humanity and oh yes, this is what I’ve been waiting for… YELENA’S ONE ICONIC FACE LMAO. Also Falco finally reunited with Gabi but wait the minute, Sasha’s family was walking too, a lot more traumatic as ever happened to me in my whole entire life but thankfully Gabi and Falco found a shelter and Gabi herself began apologizing which her POV is already forgivable but out of it would take time to forgive for what she has done to people to kill a person from different race group who has a similar goal as one another. Also Falco confessed that Gabi was smooth as butter and both of them were blushing! but chotto matte Falco, both of you guys are still young, you have some other progresses to make before getting married xD. The fight continues and Galliard’s titan is still as incompetent, which implies the same for Pieck’s titan, also well this is bad for Zeke and Eren because both of them are in nowhere near saving humanity and at this point, everyone are against each other. Overall episode is near perfection even the pacing is slow, the worldbuilding has already started. |

| Watched Episode 2 .. Here is my review: TL;DR : everything other than not having good animation and more dynamic character movements At first i was disappointed that it doesnt have wit level visuals but it doesnt even have MAPPA's standard animation the story didnt progress much but we got a gabi reflecting upon her mistakes scene and armin scenes were good overall aot has went quite a lot in terms of quality only thing that got better is the ED  [(NOTE: both studios have easily outdone most of the anime out there in terms of visuals and animation and I highly appreciate and respect both but this is about comparing them with each other because this is final season of my fav anime which has been pretty flawless in most things and i would ofcourse point out if i feel drop in quality..) its like if a kid used to score 100% everytime but now is suddenly scoring 80% when it matters the most :(] But the truth is Mappa has already finished making it so nothing can be done about it.. Hoping for some miracle. DarkGamerA signing out. MAPPA SURE CAN DO BETTER as you can see this in this god tier ending song visuals by mappa where colours and animations are a blessing from heaven |

| At this point it just feels like every fkn character has lost their shit... |
 |
| I'm not a big fan of Zeke, but his entrance was pretty badass with the beast titan theme. The cart titan scheme was kinda weird, why would those soldiers just assume that someone who wasn't even there finished off the cart titan? That "trick" was not really thought out well imo. |
NextUniverse said: easily the best episode of this part🔥🔥I liked this episode all around I guess. Really looking forward to the next episode since some real shit is about to go down there lol. This episode was mostly just talking, and I think they snuck in that Falco confession there lmao. Time and place is kinda crazy tho lmao. Anyway, hoping for a good next episode. Yelena angry face too:  |
zeroj said: It is a pleasure to listen to Ayane Sakura in drama shows. I honestly have never heard her this good, even in Quintuplets. Amazing episode, a lot of tracks from Hiroyuki Sawano which is what I waited for since first season. The heavy atmosphere is still there. Yelena's face was really scary, but I forget why did she make that face for while reading the manga. Loved all the titans fights during this episode. I also had a huge smile when Zeke got bombed, I just can't like this guy at all and his big ass monkey titan. Can't wait for next episode cliffhanger ending. 1) I just noticed it. do Mappa start using it again from this episod, or from past episode(s) they'd already used it? anyone know the title of the BGM/OST used during eren started walking to zeke? [edited] found it https://youtu.be/eLBnWNLOAZA -- 2) yeah. im curious as well with Yelena's reaction. cant remember why she made that face. hahaha |

| THANK YOU MAPPA FOR MAKING YELENA DETAILED!!! AS A MANGA READER I WAS WAITING FOR THAT FACIAL EXPRESSION. I can't wait for next ep!!!!! Still can't believe my fave series of all time is ending... |
| READ THE BEGINNING AFTER THE END. Seriously, it is an S-tier manwha and should be added to mal in the future. |
| you know what ?? duo combo kimetsu no yaiba + attack on tital final part on monday = increasing your healthy up to 50% Hype |
creepypasta666 said: Great Episode!! it felt short though but OP & ED hit hard as always. It wa short due to the first five minutes being bloody recap. |
| This episode was really surprising in a good way, even if some of it caught me completely off-guard. Obviously, the one that I never expected to see was Yelena's "angry" face. That's the sort of face you see someone make when you accidentally step on a dog's number two. I see this getting meme'd to death and back, but even more amusing was how she turned her expression from this to a happy face. Armin must be shitting himself after seeing that and I don't blame him for it, either. Next was Falco. Thanks to Nile, he was able to get away with Gabi and his brother and they took shelter. Not only did Gabi finally admit that the residents of Paradis Island were normal human beings and not evil, but Falco came out with a love confession to Gabi, as he fears that with the spinal fluid he drank, Zeke's scream would turn him into a titan, hence why he wanted to get everything off his chest without having any more regrets. He and Gabi would make a cute couple, though. =) Lastly, Zeke's return to help Eren was an epic moment. The CGI for his Beast titan is a very noticeable improvement over the previous season. We also got some 2D close-ups as well, which was a nice bonus. |
| This is probably the best looking MAPPA AOT episode yet, the Beast titan looked great tbh. Yelena's face scared the shit out of me! |
| I liked how Armin trust and support Eren. I like MAPPA's grim faces Jean, Gabi, eren , Mikasa moments were great Also how everyone is thinking stuff properly And the throwback to sea scene I personally loved the Yelena scene I would have preferred more Animation and in higher quality instead of just adapting the manga.. The sound quality was 10/10 Action bgm was weak but dialogue bgm was great Every Beast scene was top tier and had actually aot level animation 3d manuver gear scenes which define aot quality was absent .. And they avoided doing close up scenes to avoid good animation The pacing was 10/10 like the storm before the end Muffler scene made me cry for real.. Airships going down was a true spectacle and again titans dont good look good at all.. even though this is is peak anime this is lowest attack on titan has ever been in terms of quality |

LillyZ said: Well they were against the jaegerists and then just appear out of nowhere like they're totally supporting the people they have been fighting all along. Yelena's look displays a feeling of suspicion which is just appropriate in that situation. okay, so why did Elena give that expression? there is no reason for her to get angry? |
| Animation was a little worse this episode. But the CGI still looks pretty good. I was so hyped when Zeke turned up. The scene with Mikasa leaving her scarf behind didn't hit the same way it did in the manga. Neither did Yelena's facial expression. But I'm actually pretty happy overall, especially regarding the pacing. Looking forward to next week. |

| I still hear the melodies of the ending song in my head. Gabi had a lot of fake ideas before, but we've seen her shift and change day by day since her arrival in Paradis. In the character of Gabi, I see that the author wanted to portray the media feed and amplification of something that becomes a reality in the minds of the simple people, and this is not far from our world and our reality, where stereotypes are spread and the media is the best way to convince people despite the clarity of the stupidity of what is being transmitted to them. All I have to say about Flaco is that he is one of the few honest people. I rarely meet people like this... Those melodies are still in my head... |
 |
| Damn already finished manga, have a 5 min recap from the 1st episode. 2nd episode was so bad compared to the amazing 1st episode. |
 |
| Shit's getting intense. Also i love that Gabi may actually change her mind about fighting for the Marleyans |
| omg i love gabi and I ship them so much!! 🥰🥰 |
 |
Literally everyone right now: |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Oh gosh, I can't wait for the next episode. By the way, why are there no civilians in the battle zone? Are they all evacuated beforehand? |

(Tanjiro & Falco are both voiced by Hanae Natsuki) |
NextUniverse said: smh i gave mopper da pass last sznThis episode was mostly just talking wtf dis hypeless directing 😑 GoZha is disappointed 😢😢 |
 |
| Great episode. Lol that Yelena face is nightmare stuff |
 |
| Yelena's face was damn creepy and funny XD I really like Gabi's development and Falco's confession was cute. Excited for the next episode! |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| Why didn't Zake just jumped and run towards Eren? It's nice to see that Gabi got some needed development. Armin is betting everything on Eren making the right decision we have to wait and see if that pays off. That Yelena face lol I can't wait for the memes. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| Things are interesting as usual. Gabe has had some nice character development and finally realized they're not devils. Great to see Zeke fucking up all their blimps and Reiner with his rocks lol. He's so deadly at range. Wonder if Eren is planning to eat Zeke as a last-ditch effort. But that explains why Eren stood his ground as that's where they planned to meet. Love seeing Zeke and Eren together. Can't wait to see them fuck everyone with the rumbling cause we all know its gonna happen. Its in the OP and it would be the ultimate cockblock if the most interesting thing that could happen in the anime and was the big tension didn't happen. Once again though Eren all the way. Seeing those blimps get shot out of the sky, hmmm good stuff lol. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Goddamn that fucking cliffhanger, it fucking hurts so much (but not as much as what Zeke is feeling right now). Looks like all hell is breaking loose, at any moment The You-Know-What is fucking happening. But before that, every character inside the hellhole that is Shinganshina, well they're doing something while Eren is meeting up with Zeke. Falco confesses to Gabi.........oh shit. Mikasa leaving her scarf behind...is in Twitter terms "a powerful statement". Yelena looking down on Armin then turning a dere face is one of the most cute haunting clips I've seen all year. Damn that cliffhanger stings, and I'm already getting goosebumps thinking that Ymir is coming closer and closer to us. What a time to be an anime fan!!! |
 |
| Saving Eren is one thing. But they should've shot Yelena in the back the moment they got on that roof. You know, just to remove some loose ends for the future. My hate for Gabi naturally spread to Falco, with him being with her etc. Nontheless his confession scene was great. Even Gabi looked cute for a bit there. And, again despite my hate for Gabi, I'm kinda rooting for Marley here. I've always found it cool when more traditional military competes with the superpowers or other "special" abilities in works of fiction. |
| Nobody important died this episode so meh episode. I will be very sad if any of the main characters survive the end of the series |
| Grand episode. Those manga chapters were extremely difficult to adapt, mostly due to the fact that we had fast paced action happening in one area, but being presented from several places and from different perspectives. Fortunately, MAPPA managed to adapt it faithfully to the source material and make it entertaining as an animated show. |
| Finally they're going to help Eren's ass this episode Yelena is a war freak at most and that face says it all she's bound to go insane at any moment if Eren got hurt tripping his ass fighting for his life against Reiner's ass Gabi acknowledged that her views against the Eldians in Paradis Island are not true after hearing what they witnessed and been through, As much as I don't want to bring this up but Falco's confession was surprising but expected. |
