| 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. |

| absolute freedom means taking away others freedom so violence is allowed like the law of the jungle (or forest) its kill or be killed that is why society has limits to individual freedom via laws or rules since freedom is dangerous if its unlimited no censorship of the muslim(?) kids death they did the sacrifice of Hange amazing rest in peace to one of the best character of the show nice to see the freedom scene showing how Eren is a man child for doing world genocide  |

| The sheer horror, pain, and suffering in this episode were indescribable. It was so well adapted that I could've said nothing more but sob like a child. The Ramzi scene was so painful and so many other deaths. The horror was so well portrayed in this episode. And, that beautiful but painful Hanji scene. She's free from her duty. She did great as a captain. The action scenes were great as well. They even made Floch look like a hero once again. The scene where our squad jumping on top of Eren was so fucking epic and the OST choices in this episode were so well done. Couldn't have asked for anything other than that. Incredible job by Hayashi's team and all the staff involved in this episode. Thank you for all the hard work. It was an amazing experience. Can't wait for the next installment of Shingeki. The ED by SIM was great once again. Fits perfectly. |
 |
| What can I say? The episode was pure perfection. The OSTs, the animation, the voice acting... Everything was perfect, MAPPA and my GOAT Hayashi basically created the most beautiful, stunning AOT ep. The CGI was kinda felt weird in some places but who cares? It was perfect in every way. The only sad thing about the episode is that they cut some scenes in chapter 134 but added a lot better scenes imo. The ending was beautiful too, SiM is an awsome choice for the ending. Well if i continue more i will praise more so long story short, It was perfection. Thank you AoT staff and Hayashi. Can't wait to see the ending in Fall 2023. |
 |
| I like the new direction they took with the episode length, it was great. More animes should adapt this longer style of episodes. The colour filters are still over the top though, they really worsen the quality of the animation (which already suffers enough). The OP (or I guess ED?) by Sim is awesome though. And the way they cut the scenes made the story flow really well. I still think Eren is completely in the right, even though they gave him the "broken antihero" look in this episode. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| The 1 hour special adapted from 131-134 (?), with some extended and/or stretched scenes here and there (some scenes were cut unless they’re going to be adapted differently) Wowie AOT is back again with part 3, good lord I hope the next cour actually ends this year, 2024 is a more of a rough year in my end. Anyways as for this episode, the story of Ramzi and Halil is a stark reminder of the harsh reality that many refugees face, where survival often means resorting to extreme measures. Ramzi's determination to help his family survive the winter at any cost is understandable, but it also highlights the systemic issues that lead to such dire circumstances. And then there's Eren, a character whose journey is riddled with conflict and trauma. His desire to protect Paradis Island and his people is understandable, but the cost of his actions is too high. The scene where he saves Ramzi, despite knowing he will eventually kill him, is a poignant moment that showcases the complexities of Eren's character. The imagery of the Titans wreaking havoc on Marley is haunting, and it's hard not to feel a sense of dread for the characters caught in the midst of the chaos. The scene where Halil meets his demise is particularly heartbreaking, a reminder of the devastating toll war takes on innocent lives, to an extent of giving real-world parallels - the issues of refugees, war, and the devastating consequences of conflict are all too familiar. It's a sobering reminder of the need for compassion, empathy, and a willingness to work towards a better future for all. Moreover, the Survey Corps and the Warrior Unit are in a difficult situation, fighting for their survival against the Rumbling. The characters are all coping with the stress and uncertainty in different ways. Some, like Kiyomi, Pieck, and Reiner, are determined to do what they can to survive and help others survive. Others, like Annie, are disillusioned and feel that the fight is pointless. The characters' personal relationships and histories also play a role in how they cope with the situation. Reiner apologizes to Annie for the past, and Annie waves goodbye to everyone while looking at Armin with sadness. The group is facing difficult choices and harsh realities, and it remains to be seen what will happen next. Hange’s scene on the other hand, it was a cool action sequence being extended. The passengers are uneasy as they fuelled the boat only halfway before leaving, but Onyankopon promises to get them there no matter what. In the passenger hold, Armin holds a meeting with his companions, and they discuss their plan to stop Eren. They consider destroying the entire Founding Titan using Armin's Colossus Titan, killing Zeke Yeager, or trying to talk to Eren. Suddenly, they are summoned into Paths, and Eren refuses to stop the Rumbling, but allows them to fight him if they want. His friends see a younger version of him standing alongside Ymir Fritz. Back on the boat, Levi turns to Armin to ask what to do next. The plot is quite engaging and kept me interested throughout the passage. The characters are in a difficult situation, and it was interesting to see how they were considering different options to stop Eren. The idea of being summoned into Paths was also intriguing and added a new layer to the story. I appreciated the character development and how they reflect on their past actions and how they got to where they are now. Lastly, the action-packed sequence of events that follows is thrilling, with the Beast Titan wiping out the airship squadron and the Survey Corps and Warrior Unit teaming up to fight back. Th transformation of Reiner into the Armored Titan and the of Pieck into Cart Titan adds to the excitement likewise. |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| Holy mother of peak, that was something else. As a manga reader I felt this was AoT at it's best. To see it get this treatment makes me feel immense joy. |
 |
| Which chapters were adapted? |
 |
| 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. 3/10 |

|
| I think they did a great job adapting the manga! I really liked the music during Hanji's last moments and I cried again to be honest, especially seeing Erwin and other comrades, the moment was even better than manga I think. I am not sure but I think they added some little scenes which I liked (or did we really see how Eren's titan walks?). The feeling is creepy, exactly as I imagined and the secod part will be even better! It's good to have AoT back, even though for a little while. |
 |
| Imo, this hour special hit the pennicle of the franchise for what it has shown us. Uneblievable how much MAPPA and the directors managed to set this up for the remaining half. The emotions, music, and seeing everyone...again. And also, when they all ran together ...I got literal goosebumps. ED theme song is nice although I'm slightly underwhelmed. Nontheless, I felt like this special delivered what the fans were waiting for. Fall 2023.....it won't be too long of a wait but should be worth it! |
 |
| Will admit I cried when I seen Hange with Erwin. I didn't think something like that would happen but Isayama has to play with his fans' feelings somehow lol overall I really enjoyed the episode, and that animation was something else, especially those eye close-ups! Props to mappa. |
 |
| new opening was good, the story leading up to this point was decent, not even trying to offend anyone but this is some of the goofiest cgi that I've seen from aot. every frame of zeke just looked hilarious to me, he looked way out of place and when he was brawling with riener was the most funniest thing i've seen so far. but the episode was a good 7/10 |
| Well, this episode was such a rollercoaster of emotions. I can't describe how incredible this was. A bit sad that this is the only episode for now, but I'm still happy about it. It fulfilled my expectations. The voice acting, animations, visuals and the atmosphere were really something else. The new OST at the beginning felt a bit underwhelming, I imagined something more impactful, but all in all I would still say that this is an upgrade to the manga. This was definitely a pretty solid episode. |
 |
| Solid adaptation of chapters 131 and 132. Yet they skipped over the first few pages of chapter 134, which is the best part of that chapter and they better show it in the second special, all to show us the ugly mug of Reiner’s mom. A real shame. Next special covers MCU popcorn type content which hopefully MAPPA improves upon even though I doubt they will. Apart from that, Halil and Ramzi getting stomped and Hange’s ODM sequence were some of the best sequences MAPPA ever put to screen. Really well animated with banger soundtracks. And King Floch going out for the cause, respectable. Best part of the episode [font="\"Proxima Nova Regular\", \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"]  [/font] |

ItsThatBoyAgain said: They adapted almost the entirety of chapter 134 apart from the first few pages.bastek66 said: They adapted 131-133. I thought theyd do 134 but its fine. Which chapters were adapted?131-133 |
|
| I loved those small personal moments between Armin and Annie, Mikasa and Annie, Annie and Reiner, and Hange and Levi. It seemed as if they had nothing left to lose and revealed their true characters to each other. It was sad to see Hange's sacrifice and all of the old Survey Corps again too. |
| Eren's monologue at the start was even more powerful than what it was in the manga. |

| Absolutely breathtaking episode |
| I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Like, the episode was actually great but I got some weird vibes from it. Maybe the hour length threw me off? It's a 10/10 either way |
 |
| i've been disappointed for the first 2 parts of FS but i think MAPPA actually nailed it this time for me, finally i can be hyped for P3 2nd half now, can't wait |
  |
| Im surprise, my expectations weren't high but I was blown away by literally everything a great episode, really enjoyed it and the nostalgia with that old ost in the Hanji scene was nice. 5/5. |
| THE EF! just finished watching (no subs) the live stream awesome SiM banger new music performance the ep OMG i'm speechless! so speechless!!!! i can't even describe how phenomenal this episode truly is!!! infinite/5! Mod Edit: Removed link to Copyrighted Material. |

Shibo-shonen said: Did they just cut the "Baby Scene" where lots of people falling from the cliff? Or I just didnt seen it? Kind of laggy on the live site that I've been watching at... ye they did not include that |
okbuddycec said: It's not milking lol. Attack on Titan is very hard to adapt they are taking time for proper adaptation.first half was cool, mappa didn't do the freedom panel justice second half was fuckin boring, annie armin scene was so hard to watch and cringe I was crying. atp I just want this fuckin show to end so that I can rewatch it! and yeah, classic mopper- 'wait till fall for cour 2' bitch stop milking the show already |
| The first 10-15 minutes of that episode was some of the most haunting anime I've ever seen (in a good way), even without the subs. The OST, direction, animation and atmosphere was absolutely nailed from the manga. I watched the raw, but stopped watching after that because I didn't want to spoil the rest with an unsubbed experience. Can't wait to see the rest later. You can definitely see MAPPA have had to take their time with this, there's just so much going on. |
okbuddycec said: Yeah they are unbearably cringe. Not only that but we see this forced romance moments after watching a horrific genocide. Lmfao.second half was fuckin boring, annie armin scene was so hard to watch and cringe I was crying. |

It's a 10/10 either way Same sentiments here. There were some amazing sequences, like the rumbling carnage in the beginning gave me chills, along with the action being top tier (although the quality of the broadcast and the ghosting made it harder to appreciate). But the pacing was a bit weird, certain scenes were not given the proper time to sink in cause the special had to move on to the next scene. I want to wait until I see the official Crunchyroll release with subs and better quality, but as of now I'm thinking these might've worked better as regular episodes. |
