| 70% of the episode is irrelevant content focusing on side chara, and the 30% is related to the plot. 4 episodes left...where is the rumbling? Hange out of nowhere knew all about the founding titan's ability... Historia is dying...wtf eren |
 |
| The Annie, Connie and Armin scene was nice it feels like we haven't had much comedy in a while, I missed it. Damn we're really getting the band back together now too, great episode can't wait for the next. |

SenbeiPan said: I_Am_Freeballing said: It's literally so obvious. You think the entire point of the scene is Mikasa is mad cause Louise took her scarf? lol Not only that, but every single scene between Mikasa and Louise is there to show these exact parallels. Parallels without any kind of presentation are worthless at the end of the day since anyone can interpret them as they like True but if someone looks at the scene with the interpretation I gave it could lead to a better understanding or just simply liking the scene more. That's better instead of sticking with the interpretation that leaves a sour taste in your mouth. |

That's better instead of sticking with the interpretation that leaves a sour taste in your mouth. The author is the one who needs to give that interpretation with a presentation, not the audience I do believe there is a presentation. It's just a very subtle one. Isayama was never the one to hold the reader's hand. Anyway, Isayama said in the past that everyone is free to interpret AOT however they like. He has never forced his. |

| Go home Connie...oh wait. AoT chapter 126 was hella overhated. Don't get your panties in a bunch over a bit cheesiness. Muh cringe. The truly cringeworthy aspect were edgy Eren fangirls. Great episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Was this the most emotional anime episode ever? Wow, I'm wordless right now. Hange crying while she killed her former companions, Levi the best character ever survived a bomb with only some scar on his face, Connie realizing how asshole he was and then he got his redemption, Annie totally had sex with Hitch. Nyannyan speech at the ending almost made me cry you know. Peak fiction |

racers551 said: XiongYifan said: so you're telling me Mikasa didn't let Gabi die eventhough she's not even from Paradis and be a b***h to lousie eventhough she only adore her ? Like seriously lousie was probably in her deathbed. Can't she speak to her normally or atleast pretend to?? Gabi regretted her actions. Louise didn't. Not to mention, Louise kind of did things she didn't want, so I don't think Mikasa has a moral obligation to help her. She's not her. Not to mention Louise is a Jaegerist who says she is sad she won't get to see the ''Eldian Empire'' Eren will build in the very same scene. Let's also not forget Mikasa was the one who saved Louise from suffering the worse fate just last ep. Mikasa has every right to be mad. It's not supposed to be a rational feeling anyway.

Anyway, Isayama said in the past that everyone is free to interpret AOT however they like. He has never forced his. "Anyway, Isayama said in the past that everyone is free to interpret AOT however they like" That's just running away from your responsibility as a storyteller. Of course, different people can interpret a work in different ways, but, if the author is a good storyteller, most of these interpretations would still have many things in common. This, sadly, isn't the case for AoT in the latest arcs. Some people can interpret the Louise scene as you did, and some people can interpret that scene as Mikasa is a watchdog who can't think anything but her scarf and Ereh. Who is wrong and who is right? Noone. Both sides are wrong and right at the same time. Why? Because the storyteller ran from his responsibility and didn't add a solid presentation I get you but I disagree with what you said about Isayama. I feel like Mikasa and Louise situation is very well presented and as I said at first, very obvious. Of course, thinking it isn't is completely fine as well. |

| This episode was nicely done. I am so excited for next episode. It is going to be so good. |

It was clear to me what Isayama wanted to say. This is why people create 2hour long videos explaining why this or that happened. For people who don't understand what's happening between the lines. |

| Completely different sides working together with the goal of saving the world, very exciting. |
XiongYifan said: Mikasa's current state is like:racers551 said: Mikasa saved Gabi when kaya was trying to kill her. She cared more about Gabi who killed sasha than Lousie who just stole her scarfGabi regretted her actions. Louise didn't. Not to mention, Louise kind of did things she didn't want, so I don't think Mikasa has a moral obligation to help her. She's not her. She is suffering from sevier mental stress after Eren rejection. Don't jurge a character just by it surface level interaction. She is currently struggling from internal conflict. |
lol Mikasa is bad luck then |
| So Mikasa and Armin decided to betray Eren and stop his plan. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
Helltaker said: What betray Eren ? Armin and Mikasa was never the part of Eren's plan of mass genocide in global scale.So Mikasa and Armin decided to betray Eren and stop his plan. |
| I don't know, I'm just going to refer to it as a "funny" episode. I feel like this episode had a strange change of tone which I think is not really fitting for the series. I guess the humor was a bit misplaced. I expected Annie's return and reunion with the scouts would be more dramatic, it just felt things happened a bit too easy. Other than that, I'm surprised Levi is in the lead, kind of. He's the one who encouraged Hange and who proposed this deal to Magath. I really thought that Levi was as good as dead after receiving that Thunder Spear right in the head, but I guess Isayama decided otherwise. The way Mikasa looked at Jean when Floch was giving his speech really made me think he sided with the Jaegarists. Paid actor Mikasa. For the people who say Armin's stunt is stupid, do you actually think Armin wasn't expecting Connie to save him? Yeah, there's an off-chance of him getting eaten, but come on.. LMAO Shadis was left behind!!! 3/5 episode I guess. deg said: Not gonna lie, the choice of line in that scene is, uh, not what you'd expect from AoT and Isayama. In a sense, they're going to save the world from Eren (if they manage to do that on time), but it's really not something that fits the series. That's Marvel movies type of shit, not Attack on Titan.that Connie liar face is a meme material "to save the world" there it is nationalism "yeagerist" vs globalism "alliance" or "avengers" they call them cringevengers too |

barsoapguy219 said: 2) Annie's appearance. How did they end up sitting next to each other? Was she following them? And then Connie laughing at her for pie. She murdered so many Scouts in the first season. It seemed like she was having fun swinging them around? And Connie is okay with her now? And then she ditched Hitch with a note. Come on. I wish Annie had more going for her after melting. Just so you know they're adapting one of the over-hated actually decent chapters so expect some mediocracy in your end and plus this is just the setup before the final battle is about to start and personally for me, I wasn't surprising this episode is one of the weakest but still I find it good nonetheless. Annie and Hitch met up in the 7th episode so probably both were riding on the horse, Hitch knew where to meet up with the other survey corps. Then perhaps afterwards, Hitch went away to buy some stuff and let Annie sit down in a table enjoying her pie while Armin and the rest of the survey corps were sitting in the same table as to where Annie is sitting and if you notice, Hitch was going back saying, "Sorry the line was real long" and she knew where the table is to where Annie was sitting in. The reason why Annie left her is because when back in the 7th episode, there is a backstory of Annie going through her hardship and training become a fighter whilst in prior episodes, she has the ability to inherit the Female Titan, so therefore, Annie join forces with Armin and the rest of the survey corps while leaving Hitch who definitely can't join the forces with the others survey corps since she's positioned as a military police which does a different job: evacuating all civilians, supervising, helping others who are injured, etc, definitely Hitch is someone who doesn't have a strong fighting skills unlike the survey corps who had a a lot of experience with their ODM gear and its usage unlike Hitch so I don't think she would be able to fight against a current ongoing rumbling. |

SHADIS!!! Come on now deg, I'm not even a manga reader, but I can tell (Just kidding!)

 Love the way Mappa did this scene in the anime. |
| @samashi20 ah ye its Shadis for sure because of the bald head good eye you got thanks |
dani8013 said: Why did Connie regret giving Falco to his mother? I mean, he could have brought his mother back by sacrificing an enemy member, so what happened that Connie changed? Well, his mother would become a titan shifter, live for 13 years, then die. It's not just that, by having the titan powers, she would either have to fight or pass the powers to someone else. She'll just suffer from all that, so he choose to let her be. Maybe, just maybe in the hopes that after everything's over, she could turn back into a human. |

Cruicruise said: « Save the world » and then what? You fucking dumbasses! Also why? Just why would you wanna do that? The world hates your fucking guts and was about to end you all if not for Eren. Remember your dear friend Eren? Just chill on your Island guys while he’s doing the dirty job for you cowards. Your endless years of struggling and suffering are over. Actually they’re committing treason to Paradis which is overwhelmingly pro Rumbling. Fucking Cringeavengers. The only thing that's cringe is this post. Did you steal Floch's lines? |

imbAF said: yes yes exactly, truly incredible writing ty for the explanations as always mr big brain.KneelBeforeMe said: I'm sorry but Erwin would never do something as stupid as what Armin just did there. what great writing; find your own meaning. That is actually phenomenal writing. Writing a story which can be interpreted in so many ways, that is literally quality storytelling. Maybe you want the characters to have an inner monologue with a black background, in order to emphasize to the low IQ reader that character development is taking place here, but Isayama doesn't do that. He is subtle with the way he tries to showcase how the characters change over time, through little details and simply facial expressions or inner confusion conditioned by the environment and the situation. |
|
if only they would've improved connie's line too |
Cruicruise said: Maybe. What’s wrong about that? Can I express my own view of the situation or must I align with your own? Of course. It's more fun when there are different opinions. Your opinion of cringe is 126. My opinion of cringe is your opinion of cringe. |
|
| Many decisions makes no sense. 1/5 Terrible pacing. |
| I remember thinking that Connie's rushed arc was the start of AOT's downfall, and the anime hasn't managed to change my opinion. The "Let's go save the world" was as hilariously cringe as it was in the manga. The directing felt pretty bland this episode too. Pie scene was terrible (haha guys Annie is eating pie haha see guys Connie's telling us to laugh haha, oh seems like Connie got over and forgot the fact that he was going to murder a 12 year old a few hours earlier haha so funny), comedy felt rammed in. I'm pretty sure this is the part of the manga where Isayama's editor took over most of the writing. |
