Horrible animation mess. 5/10 at best. Animated panels of the manga on YouTube are so much better than whatever the MAPPA staff decided to throw at this episode.


are you drunk? Mappa is doing a good job. Da hell is wrong with you?

I don't get it why people want youseebiggirl ost for every epic scene. If you keep on using same thing everywhere then it's not special. And as for the animation let me tell you that after wit studio left S4 no other studio wanted to take it but MAPPA did and they are already under lot of pressure and those who say that MAPPA should hold the airing and work on animation then listen AOT is not the only thing airing in Japan there are a lot other and more scheduled stuffs so it's not like they can stop airing and start it again whenever they want. I request you please stop spreading hate against studio, it's not there fault that you watched a fan animation and started to expect things that your mind loved.

Me: there was OST?

I was following the story and didn't even notice music on the background.
Then I go to the forum and apparently it's a big deal and people even know individual themes by name. Weird.

some manga readers just getting upset lol. I agree, using something too much will just kill its speciality.

on that topic, are any anime-only fans upset with this OST like some manga readers? actually genuinely curious.

That episode was fantastic. Tybur’s speech was great, finally revealing the reason as to why the king wouldn’t use The Rumbling. Man, I love Reiner. I loved his character before but now I just feel so bad for him. Eren and Reiner really are just parallels, both fighting just so they can live. That is amazing writing. And finally, EREN TRANSFORMS. I was completely stoked with the ending of the episode, I can’t wait another week.

I came here hyped asf and what I get is.... a bunch of annoying piss babies crying again, what’s new! They should really make a separate thread for manga-only so they can jerk off in a corner about how “MAPPA is ruining everything”. It’s one thing to point out some faults, but holy you guys cry over everything go piss off.

Good lord. My brain can't handle what I just watched.


I'm 100% team Eren
If he unleashes hell on earth and goes on a bloodbath, I would still be team Eren. Theres nothing that can change my mind since I've become far too invested into his character. Past the point of no return in fact.

Finally the anime I was waiting for is back.

Hope all those posers extoling previous episodes will think about what they really enjoy and how they like this episode (which was actually full of talking only) compared to those previous episodes ("really important", "setting us into the enviroment").
I think we all like this better although there was even less action than in the first episode for example, it is just done better - the way there was many seasons before.

Lets cut the crap about "terrible" "war" picture and just enjoy the ride.

Had chills the entire time... too epic
The OST placement was on point. I’ll admit I was a bit worried about the OST they’d use for Eren’s transformation. It was the same OST used in the Levi vs Beast Titan fight. Fortunately I was wrong, holy crap, the transformation alone made this a 10/10 episode.

Doesn't fit the tone at all imo. The war feels fore humane now, it's not helpless humans vs titan overlords anymore. They're inside the real world now. So the music doesn't need to be that bombastic, but also not as lame as what was actually used. I guess the schedule was too tight to make and find something perfect.


yeah, on second thought, it was too bombastic

and i still don't know why the sound director chose 2Volt, i thought he could've used other OST that amplify this tragic eps, to make terror and fear more apparent after Eren transformed especially after people died in that building. Have a mixed feeling after 2nd time watching the eps.


I was hoping they’d use ErenTheCoordinate, but now I’m hoping they use it in the upcoming episodes

It's always crazy when you think about how the story started out and where Eren was.

And damn, the tension, Reiner's breakdown and Eren just being a cold motherfucker who wants to get the job done, this was really big entertaiment.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This was honestly incredibly disappointed and underwhelming for me personally. The way they handled the climax felt soulless, compare it to any other climax from previous seasons and it will fall short on so many aspects, from animation to soundtrack and overall delivery. Removed panels and censorship as well. I had low expectations but i never expected they would give us a literal slide show for one of the most important scenes of this arc. Also they made Eren's titan CG for a 2 seconds cut where he barely moves. Honestly pathetic and lazy. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
I thought censorship was at it's lowest in this ep honestly, especially the end.

The episode was good, but the animation limits are really showing. Especially in comparison to season 1, the more I watch the more cheap it looks. Eren's transformation was a successfully big moment in the story, but it looked stiff, which made it feel kinda anticlimactic.

(And for the record, this is coming from an anime-only.)

I agree, I personally hope they don’t use it at all, since it’s Reiner and Bertolt’s transformation theme. That OST really should only be linked to that moment by viewers because it was so powerful. OST placement is pretty damn legendary in AoT and really can change everything.

Phenominal episode. But like many have said, the ost choice in the final scene was underwhelming. I don't think youseebiggirl woulda fit the mood, but they definitely had better options for music choice.

And before someone replies, it's just a simple criticism. I love the episode, but I still have my gripes with it.

Amazing build up until the end. The fuck was that? I gurantee this should be the most hype scene in the entire show and yet it felt so anticlimatic. Why didn't Mappa use its budget on this scene? Honestly Im starting to think that Mappa is nothing more but a shovelware studio that doesn't know how to use its budget. Plus the censoring will kill the season.
From a 5/5 to a 2/5.

So sorry it's only 2% under that. Come back in an hour, maybe it will rise. :)


Ayyy I'm not hating, just a little underwhelmed by the numbers. Still waiting for the official subs.

AOT has pulled 92%+ episodes before and I expected this to join their ranks by how much it was being hyped up but it's pretty clear it won't, much less catch up to Hero. Reception on Reddit is better though so there is that. Maybe MAL is just being whiny again wouldn't be the first time


Your comment is way too premature as I said you need to give it more time as the official subs came out less than a hour ago and yes mal is just being mal and its the small minority.

The ratings have been going up and it could very well go 90%+ in a hour or two from now. Patience...

The hype this episode generates is immense.

Seeing Eren and Reiner interact feels so cathartic. Man, Reiner is such a troubled human, apologising to Eren must have been something he wanted to do for a long time...

The animation was great overall. During Eren's transformation, although it was cool af, the movements of Reiner turning back at Falco seemed kinda choppy to me. I am, though, happy to see that they are experimenting with the animation, I honestly can't wait to see what they'll do with the fight scenes probably next episode.

The voice acting is absolutely AMAZING. Reiner's voice actor in particular really gave a sublime performance. Willy's speach was also very thrilling.

Nice work Mappa!

fk.. kind of left a little disappointed. The 2 week wait made the anticipation so much higher.

Storyboarding in eren and reiner's conversation wasn't really all that interesting. Soundtracks feel underwhelming. Seems like Sawano isn't really composing any major new songs. This would have been the perfect opportunity for a new insert song. Of course, even eren's titan is cg. the explosive moment did not feel as impactful as it should have been. Slide show + cg.
Imagine Arifumi Imai working on Erens scene.. Yea fuck that.

Let's see how they handle the next episode.. It's either going to be really solid or a disaster. Might have to switch back to the manga though.

Poor Falco. He just wanted to help unite two old friends. The tension between Reiner and Eren could easily be picked up as they talked. Next episode is about to get real spicy. I'm really excited to see the action next episode from Eren transforming. Really good build up

Two only problems of this episode: the ost and the smoke. The ost is fine but not memorable. The smoke is a very bad choice in this scene. It’s as if Eren destroyed the stage instead of aiming at Willy as his target. Another thing i would like to mention is that they cut out the scene where the family above the stage about to die. That scene is what gave the readers chill as it’s the final confirmation that Eren will sacrifice even innocent lives. Other than that, an incredibly well done job by MAPPA.

Absolutely masterful episode.

The direction here with cuts and parallels between Eren's and Reiner's conversation along with Tybur's speech was fantastic. Fantastic, they kept the atmosphere very tense and engaging through the whole episode.

Curious what Eren/Paradis's plan is here, do they plan to become the enemy of the world or something? There's been so much setup so far but I've no idea what direction the plot will head with respect to Eren and co.

Transformation scene was epic.

exactly my fking thoughts. everything was just not up to expectations. Giving this 1 more episode before I go back to reading the manga. Anime onlys are gonna love this episode either way. Can't blame them though, the plot is insane. But the presentation comparing to the manga was just so disappointing. Even the ost was underwhelming like what the hell are they doing? What's Sawano doing? No new bangers so far. What ever..

I would say overall a 9/10 episode. The build up of tension was really well done and the music carried it well. Everything was set up to go horribly wrong and it did. The only unfortunate thing is that Eren’s transformation wasn’t as hype as I felt it should be. I’m not a manga reader but idk I didn’t feel hyped or that shocked. Maybe if the scene wasn’t in slow motion and maybe added some silence to make it more of a BOOM moment. I’m very excited for the next episode and this season is going well.
