| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good episode, but the real battle is yet to be started Poor Reiner   That ending tho, not sure if Reiner will go down that easily. Can't wait for Levi versus the beast Titan! |

You son of a .. turtle  |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| It doesn't surprise me how clever Reiner is while planning to make his next move. As the Armored Titan, he's one of the biggest threats in this battle. Really glad to see Eren vs Reiner again in another round. Gotta love how Henge planned ahead for their plan. A lot of mind games going on this episode with the psychology. Henge played a very important role in this fight to break part of his armor. This episode felt like it went so fast. What a cliffhanger! |

| Great episode as always but the animation for the fight between Eren vs Reiner was better in season 2 |

| Like most of what I saw, especially the Beginning with Erwin standing up on a mountain of dead bodies, agree with @SethBigBoss the season 2 battle with Eren vs armored titan was better, though this battle was pretty short and really wasn't the main focus and the animation with that battle was just ok, but since the main focus is the thunder spear this episode, its also the title of the this episode so I'm not going to go too hard on the Reiner vs Eren fight, plus the lack of bombastic soundtrack didn't help in that battle. Overall the final scene was really great with the thunder spear, didn't have a problem with the soundtrack in this scene at all and it ended exactly where I expected it to end at. Great episode overall, next episode is going to be chaotic, I really hope wit will do it justice. |

| That's a good cliffhanger at the end with all the Raisou. At least I already know what will happen. |
 |
| I was pumped and excited throughout the episode as usual but the production issues really are starting to show outside of THE set piece that each episode focuses on. I wish it had taken longer for them to show up but I guess it was kind of inevitable at this point, there were just way too many signs in advance for it to not happen eventually. Next episode is apparently in an even worse state. I’m sure Episode 54 which is foreshadowed as the big one will wow everyone but I’m not sure if it’s worth the sacrifice of most stuff surrounding it…Oh well, let’s hope for the best. |

Apparently a legendary animator will be doing that scene in episode 3, but I hope the overall quality is good and not just that scene. Not sure if you read the manga. |
nanidatosama97 said: I disagree, eren vs reiner in season 2 was more about the choreography rather than animation, which felt like your average AOT season 1 titan fights to me. Here, wit studio added detail to the smallest things which really took this fight to a whole new level for me as someone who read this fight like 4 years ago in the manga. Season 2's fight is clearly better in every aspects, that doesn't mean this fight is bad, just not as good. |

I am aware but that exclusively for an explosion. In terms of actual production next episode is kind of a open sign for how messed the schedule of this project is. We can expect something akin to 7-10 ADs which is atrocious tbh. |
| I always forget how just dumb some Titans look when they run lol |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| In your face, Reiner! ...literally. Can't wait to see more! |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
nanidatosama97 said: @Fappa as long as they make it look good and get the job done without overworking each other, im fine with more animators. less animators with only a few months to work on a 10-12 episode season is never good, look at OPM 2 staff work overload as an example Here's the thing, they do not exactly have them. Overlapping productions ( Kabaneri & Vinland ) are already spreading the staff thin as it is. Then the breakneck pace of this schedule does not allow regulars to return cause they need a longer windup for their contribution which they simply do not have this time around, so that's gone too. And then the studio's biggest contributor to outsourcing work has closed down a while ago. They do not exactly have the options to just slam more staff on the project. |
| That really had me on the edge of my chair, seriously they didn't spend a single moment on useless stuff my hats down to them. |
| lots of exposition and info dumbs in this episode.. felt a little slow at times. Animation struggled at some points but was on point in others you can tell the production is not healthy. Also that was a weird ending in the middle of the action |

| Another great episode. It felt fast though. Looking forward to next week's episode. |
 |
| Bruh Erwin has to be the best character in AOT . not sure why some people hated the ost i thought it was pretty good and fitting . |
nanidatosama97 said: Well, wit is understaffed, so Id rather them focus on something like this that they know everyone is dying to see, rather than spreading their staff upon multiple different projects at once and giving out mediocre results for this. That's not exactly an option when each project is decided upon months to years in advance and overlaps simply do occur. Besides, Kabaneri for once has a higher priority for Wit themselves as its their inhouse original unlike AoT where they're at the bottom of the committee. |
| The titans never cease to amaze me with variety of roles in which they can be used for. Levi's Quip sure complemented Erwin's grim analysis. But his plan of not just determining the enemies main objective but also forcing them to either stick by it or adapt sure was impressive. The motivation to take back ones home is indeed a strong one and when combined with that of revenge ensured that Eren's fight with Reiner was epic. Heavy as the corps losses have been over the past expeditions without them you wouldn't have made it here. The insight into Erwin's past and his mindset though was interesting. The thunder spears and their implementation sure was interesting and impressive. An excellent ep as always with excellent blends of action and tension. Can't wait to see what happens next. |

| Another amazing episode, this just proves that score over 9 is well deserved..... |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| Pretty good episode overall, they didn't waste time explaining stuff like Erwin's plan and how thunder spears work. Next episode is going to be pretty entertaining. |
 |
| the Eren vs Reiner fight was disappointing but at least most of thunder spears parts near the end are sakuga we are only in episode 2 of only a 10 episode show and the animation quality is not that good overall, looks like they do not have enough production time with this sequel |

Also that was a weird ending in the middle of the action That was the final blow and also the final panel of chapter 76, they adapted 2 chapters so this was in fact the best place to end it and it was where most persons expect it to end.

I get that in a way they were kinda introduced a bit too late. Teasing them in episode 49 would've made it a bit last "jarring" but I wouldnt go as far as to call them asspulls. The thunder spears were shown in episode 49 though when the scouts were riding off in the final scene. |
 Serves you right, Reiner. Sayonara. Bitch. |
 |
| Strong episode, but given that it ended on a cliffhanger it doesn't seem likely that the attack actually worked on Reiner. Mind you, it doesn't make much narrative sense for this to not work on Reiner at this stage, so it's hard to say for sure. Frustrating that we'll have to wait a week to find out, that much is certain. |

I'm referring to the conscious transfer They later explain that the armored titan has some special defensive powers. But when I saw that for the first time... I was "wtf?". |
