| The whole issue about whether the the colossal titan looks bad due to being rendered in CG makes little sense to me. I am sure we we can all muster up examples of CG being far worse and far better elsewhere in this medium. At worst it is average and it hardly brakes the overall immersion. More importantly, what I like to hope for, is that the more animators utilize CG in anime now the better equipped future animators will be to make CG look more compelling in the future and at a fraction of the cost. Some of our most anticipated adaptions may take a few hits but ultimately this experimenting will lead to better quality down the line. Anyways, I really feel like I need to rewatch Attack on Titan because I am starting to forget all the things that have gone down in this story. The episode was great despite that but these first three episodes feel like they would have been stronger overall could I remember more of the first two seasons. |

Yeah it makes little sense to argue if this is bad or not, it's just one of the biggest main focuses of the series atm. that's not that important. Someone bashed your brain in with a hammer mutliple times? Yeah I can list examples of CG worse and better then this, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THIS IS EVEN REMOTELY GOOD BECAUSE OF THAT STUPID STATEMENT. People are already skilled with CG in Animation, but most people who have more then 3 Braincells know that makinga 3DCG Titan Model the main focus of a series and then messing that up so badly is a BAD THING. How can people seriously think that this is ok? There was 0 thought put into this Titan Model, they did not even bother to animate it even remotely well. The overall quality of the series went up over time, but the actual effort into the things that need more time was completely lost in that. Shingeki no Kyojin turned from a genuinely great series into a quick cash grab that has no effort put into it at all. (Or well a lot less effort then the first Season) |
| Poor Marco fuck those traitors. This episode was pure hype. And Mikasa with those sword moves again. And people are seriously complaining about CG titan? Really? |
 |
| This episode was perfect putting the CGI aside which was obvious the animation of the explosions and the ODM movement were perfect 10/10 for me |
 |
| Owwww, that was sad to see that Marco's death was not only related to a Titan but it happened because of Reiner, Bertolt & Annie... guess I won't regret them if they die this season (except for Annie, I can't hate her). |

| The CGI was so beautiful, i really loved it, looked absolutely perfect i wish they used more CGI overall, they usually blend it perfectly especially with the 3D Movement, the Colossal Titan looks amazing, i love it so much. Can't wait for next episode. |
You son of a .. turtle  |
| Love the build up and OST's of this episode only downside is the CG titan |
| Bro, upgraded version of APETITAN and YouSeeBIGGIRL/T:T are fucking lit. I legit can't wait anymore for the soundtrack to release. CGI Colossal Titan was bad, but this time it was expected. But for real, did the Colossal titan always have this bomb transformation? When he appeared on the end of episode 4 of the 1st season, it looked just like any other titan transformation. Even on the last time he appeared, it wasn't this "bombastic". Also, Hange won't die just like that right? |
 |
| I think Reiner is schizophrenic, his personality changed when Marco was truly eaten. It kinda annoyed me when Armin wanted to negotiate with Bertholdt, it didn't matter what reason they did what they did. The fact is that they killed so many innocent people and became terrorists to humanity. As they say, "We don't negotiate with terrorists no matter what" and that should've applied in that situation as well. |

| whats the point in chasing Bertholt ? they know he will transform into titan form any time. if Hange+her squad died, it ll be the most stupid deaths so far. no spoilers pls |
 |
| There's no right or wrong side, coz this world is just too cruel.Bertholdt really defined his purpose of living. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Episode was fine, also Justice for Hange Squad. |

| Thread Cleaned Please refrain from asking where to watch even if the episode was leaked before it was supposed to air. Be careful with spoilers and always use spoiler tags while discussing future episodes or the source material. edit: Single phrase responses like "I like it" "This episode was good" are also removed without warning. |
| Gosh, Mikasa is always so close to killing them. It surprised me that Berthold was able to put up a (short) fight with her. Did Hange really die that way? Strange. |
 |
| The episode was quite amazing. Regarding that CGI, it has been an issue since season 2 and since SnK has been adapted only by Wit Studios it is understandable. It´s way more simple to have production values when a titan like Production IG is behind you. I am really liking this season, it will probably end up being my favorite. |
| Interesting setup for this season so far! |
 |
| With this episode I can confirm a fact: Evidence 1) Levi and Mikasa are Ackerman family's members. 2) Reiner survived both Mikasa and Levi's attacks. 3) Bertolt survived Mikasa's attack twice! From 1), 2) and 3) We have a fact: The Ackermans can't kill Reiner nor Bertolt. |
| That expulosion was fking awesome. I don't dislike the CG colossal as much as I thought I would. The flashbacks were really nice.....overall one of the best eps in this series ever. Jackstyle said: whats the point in chasing Bertholt ? they know he will transform into titan form any time. They weren't chasing after Bert. They were going to finish off reiner as they thought bet wouldn't transform near reiner as that wudda killed reiner as well. |

| Another great episode. The flashback of Marcos death was well done. I loved seeing Berthodlt step up. |
0217 said: They're really dragging these episodes out. This must have been the slowest-paced SnK episode yet. With pacing like this, it hardly feels like a battle is really taking place. This episode adapted chapter 77,78 and the beginning of 79, if I remember correctly this episode actually adapted the most chapters in any snk episode overall. This season on a whole is adapting two chapters per episode which wasn't the case for the previous seasons which adapted like 1.5 chapters on average with fillers included, this is the fastest pace snk season, which is why it only has 10 episodes. This episode simple feels slow because it so happen that the two chapters it adapted were mostly buildup, they are not dragging it out at all. The only other option is to cut out some of the scenes, but why would anyone want that? |

| You guys are such strict critics lmao. The colossal titan looked fine along with that amazing remix of the Bertholdt/Reiner transformation theme from season 2. My only problem right now is the whole "transfer consciousness" thing that Reiner does. It just seems like such an a**pull and forced, like the very definition of plot armor. Maybe they'll explain it later. |

| And once again, another intense and briliant episode! And it is impossible to predict what will happen next! Marco's dead flashback, brought me memories, was really sad the way he died, he heard the wrong conversation, unlucky, i wonder why they cryied when he was being eaten, they caused it! Armin's attempt to negotiate failed, but i am glad he tried, and we still dont understand why they are doing that! Mikasa vs Berthold was so cool, Mikasa is always impressing us showing that awesome moves! Armin in command, without Hange's group, i am curious to how they will handle the fight against Berthold! Btw is she is really dead, R.I.P Hange! T.T |

| Even though Hashimoto didn't animate the nuke scene, it was still amazing. The whole lead up with the new Youseebiggirl mixed "Apple Seed" is amazing. Sawano does it again. |
Episode 52 Endcard by Sachiko Matsumoto |
| Bertolt was remembering when they murdered Marco because he heard them talking about the titans. Reiner is defeated and the beast titan threw a barrel with Bertolt inside, he told Reiner to lay on his back and transformed into the colossal titan. Armin realized that they must defeat him there and not near Erwin. The episode was awsome, despite the fact that I never liked how the colossal titan looks in cgi, I would appreciate if he appeared in 2d. Now, he got to watch when Reiner, Bertolt and Annie murdered Marco by taking out his equipment, how guilty they felt and how they feel now, not out of guilt but kind of understand their mission, due to Zeke's words. |
 |
| Damn this is going great. |
 |
| Really good episode, the good shit's only starting. Can't wait for the next episode, I still don't believe how I managed to survive 1month between each chapter back the arc came out in the manga. I think by this point people should've gotten used to CGI colossal titan. There is no way that Wit Studio will be able to recreate it in 2D animation like they did in season 1. But that was when they had a lot more help from other studios. The animation is looking really good, even for a studio that's supposedly going through production hell. |
| So I see a lot of people throwing words like "bad animation" "bad art" here and there but can anyone actually point out where those are? Aside from the noticeable CGI which was already showcased in the past and will continue to be showcased but people can't stop bitching about it, what else is there to complain about? I'd appreciate if images were provided. I seem to miss everything |
| Such a great episode. Battle of Shiganshina is one of my favourite arcs and the anime is doing it great. Marco's death was even harder to watch in anime than it was in the manga... Also I feel like the CGI Colossal Titan really isn't that bad? |
