AoT is back with another final season which isn't actually a "final" season for obvious reasons. Though Eren is back and that's what matters most to me.

We picked up right after where we left it last time around, the rumbling in full throttle that is. Thousands of colossus titans butchering the living hell out of this crust. I liked how we straight up went to Eren’s pov, to that time when he was roaming free in Marley. Monologuing about the deeds he has already seen in memories, going over the emotional breakdown after meeting Ramzi… man saying sorry and just sorry almost had me hold back my tears. Though no one can change the inevitable, rumbling came and brought hell with itself. Don’t count the ones who died as no one can… they are the sacrifice of freedom. The emotions, the actions… Mappa did an exceedingly good job to capture those of the people at the brink of death.

Back to the whereabouts of the Avengers, they still stuck up at “talking a way out and saving the world in process” agenda. Though hey why not do some shipping too, since I mean we’re free to after all… Armin and Annie are a thing all of a sudden. Wasn’t a fan of it back when reading this particular part too, and I see the sentiments still haven’t changed. Though back to seriousness, guys need a flying boat to arrive at Fort Salva, the next destination of rumbling. But hey surprise, who do we’ve here… Floch of all people rising out of grave and gunning the fuel tank lol. Though dude died not too later :(

The most awaited part, Hange going all solo against the rumbling titans and.. man did they go all out with the ODM scenes. Legit gave the old familiar feeling of those first three seasons. The music, the emotions, the cinematography.. Hange deserved the world and they indeed gave her the most fitting goodbye. Shed a tear, honestly.

Eren openly challenges the Avengers at the paths, KILL ME IF YOU CAN, and stop this rumbling. So yes an inevitable endgame is coming. Destination, Fort Salva. Stay tuned. They ended with 134 I guess, with the final faceoff in sight.

Shouldn’t have doubted Mappa, they gave us an A+ tier adaptation for these handful of chapters. Mighty impressed, but… the rest awaiting us after this, just can’t muster up the courage to witness those very same things again. Man it’s a dilemma… but  it is coming in few months.

wow.... this was worse than expected. ost placement was horrible, don't know whose idea was it. animation was also not good. anyways, decent episode, could have been better.... but fine.

Yeah they are unbearably cringe. Not only that but we see this forced romance moments after watching a horrific genocide. Lmfao
