the spot it deserves |
| Oh boy, i did not envy the decision Levi had to make this episode. I'm sobbing with sadness that Erwin died but also with gratitude that Levi chose to save Armin. To be honest, Erwin was ready to die and he had suffered for so long but Armin has so much potential to be a create leader and strategist so i'm happy that Levi chose him. As far as that lucky fuck Reiner is concerned... they fucked him up once they can definitely do it again! |
 |
| Incredible episode. One of the best imo Loved the choice to not put any music (only at the end) for building tension more effectively. Great directing. Voice acting was also fantastic |
| I was salty in the manga and I'm still salty to this day. Armin should be dead. Erwin too but Armin especially. I'm particularly upset because virtually every side or supporting character is more interesting to watch than the main three characters. It was around this point in the manga that I started to mentally check out. But I do remember the reveal, and the history of the titans being one of the best parts of this series so there's still that to look forward to before we all go down hill. At least this season should end on an exceptionally high note. |

| Besides being a very emotional episode (and the fact that Armin will survive) I have a few things to say: -Mikasa is the most annoying and bland character in the show. -Levi is definitively dead inside lol. -Reiner using his best tool. He is the Plot Armored Titan for a reason. And finally, Eren´s VA performance was great. But beyond all of the emotion, this episode (and specially Eren) are going to age really bad. All that shit that Eren was saying about the ocean, and being supportive to Mikasa will be so funny when "that scene" gets animated. |
| @Modernoir @Zoroft Lol where did you find subtle character development in this episode? Bunch of crying and screaming. Jean with his retardation somehow still giving a fuck about Reiner? Mikasa and her 100th outburst? I really don't see how this anime is any less over the top with its melodrama like any other series. I can tell that some characters get subtle characterization but they are so irrelevant to the story and get so little screentime where I feel like it just fades away and becomes unimportant anyway. Moral ambiguity is expected when you take the setting in consideration, it's war baby. This is not an attack btw, I'm genuinely asking |

xXrosaliciousXx said: DiabloMask said: 1- Armin's death was great but now it's ruined, also this sealed the fact that the main characters have plot armor. 2- Hange and the others appeared out of nowhere fully aware of the situation (how did they even know that was Armin?). 3- Eren and Mikasa gave up easily to Hange, considering they were fighting Levi for the syringe. 4- Bertholdt begging for his life was unnecessary and distracting from the fact that Armin's revival is supposed to be touching. 5- Reiner is still alive, meaning they're probably gonna fight him again which is getting tiring to be honest (it's possible the villains are gonna feed him to another titan though). This is a very disappointing episode, last episode was one of the greatest anime episodes of all time, but now it's just good at best. I'm glad Mikasa and Levi didn't lose the syringe accidentally, but Armin doesn't fit as a titan, anyway I'll wait and see what happens next. For some points I do agree with you, but for the plot armor one I kinda don't. Sorry =D. I do think almost all shows have plot armour around their main characters; and the main drive for this show was to see the ocean. To eliminate the drive, maybe Isayamam didn't see Ere n as someone who could carry that dream after the death. Aah, who knows, it is unfortunate you didn't enjoy this episode I'm totally fine with the main characters having plot armor, getting rid of a major character is normally a very risky move and only a writer that has balls can do it. The problem is, however, when the writer pretends to killing off main characters for shock value, and then revives them to prevent the risk. Armin's death was very impressive and heroic, but now it feels cheap. Anyway, maybe I was expecting too much, I still like the show. |
Zoroft said: @Esquirtit That's a strawman, I don't recall either of us saying this episode specifically had subtle character development? This was a payoff episode where all the emotions rose to the surface in a dire situation, I think there's a big difference there. Jean has been shown to have a strong moral compass from the beginning, it's why he chose to join the scouts. It's more emphasized in the manga but he had problems with the violent ways Levi handled things and has been wrestling with his morals vs his ability to the job done for awhile now. I think it's a bit new to see Mikasa get this emotional over someone other than Eren, shows that she has other things she deeply cares about, I don't see how crying loudly in that situation is over the top melodrama? Are you saying it was inappropriate there? Well my bad, I thought you guys were talking about this particular episode too because we're in this episode discussion. I was late with watching this episode so I haven't read posts on every page and thread, I assumed you guys were talking about people who complained about this episode. Thought I missed something this episode. Thank you for reminding me some of Jean's character because when I was watching I was like "why does he suddenly care about him again, wasn't he over this already". Now it makes more sense, tho I think having a problem with how Levi handled things is natural and doesn't tell that much about a character, either way, I forgot it. I did remember he had problems with killing humans in part 1, but again the anime didn't deal with it that much so I assumed he was over it, he took part vs Kenny squad the second time, this is the second time against Reiner and it came back. Eh, it was always obvious that the second person she cares most about is Armin. Mikasa is always over the top melodrama to me, even when she's silent. Personally I don't have a problem with over the top melodrama in entertainment, it's just that I've always disliked Mikasa. But no it wasn't inappropriate here, I meant that there always have been cases of over the top melodrama in AoT overall, not always, just occasionally. I just don't believe AoT handles its characters with that much quality so far compared to other anime I've seen. Like with Jean what's even the point if it's just only going to used in instances where the plot demands it for a twist. I guess this makes a big difference for anime vs manga. Not a big deal and nothing more than my opinion, look forward to the rest. I will rewatch part 1 with an open mind because basement reveal is next episode. |

| The situation was supposed to be a great dilemma, but somehow it feels more of a plot armor of the protagonist crew. Besides that, it feels kinda like cheating if you can just bring back someone’s life with the dose. As someone who is a fan of neither Erwin nor Armin (I like both of them tho), I think I’m in a more objective position to think who should take the dose in that situation. It’s quite obvious that Erwin was in a much better health condition than Armin was, so there would be much more possibilities that the former would survive with the dose. Since this’s the very first time they used the dose & it’s the only dose they had atm, the success rate should absolutely be taken into consideration if you ask me. I’m glad Armin survived at the end and the dose didn’t get wasted. Also I can reluctantly accept Levi’s excuse of freeing Erwin from the hell, but still…… Anyways, looking forward to see what's going on with the Beast Titan & Eren, even though I’ve already been spoiled of his identity. |

LOL It really shows how this community took a shift to the worse, there were times this website was 90% free of toxic arguments. 2009-2011 era was substantially different from what we have now. Alot joined after SAO began airing, that's when everything became bad. Not to hate on SAO but it's alot of people's first animé on this site. |

Zoroft said: @Esquirtit I mean some people are more ok with offing people in their way than others, like Armin was able to shoot the girl who had her gun pointed at Jean instantly while Jean couldn't so that suggests a difference between Jean and Armin there. Jean cares more about the sake of others than anyone else in the series. I would suggest you read the manga for Season 3 part 1 instead of watching it, it's much better and you can see where the characters are coming from a lot better. Like Eren's guiilt about all the people who got killed to rescue him is established a lot more clearly, he didn't need Jean to come up to him to say something about it. The manga showed him looking at all the injured scouts being transported up the wall and you could see it in his eye, later he asks how many people are left. At that point he was having 2nd thoughts about his role, if he was worth the cost of all those lives. There's also Historia who couldn't believe she was left by her bff like that, and you could see where her talk of being tired of playing the good girl role came from. Eren and Historia also had some moments where they related to each other as Eren saw Historia was just as unsuure about what to do as he was. While we knew Mikasa cared for Armin, I think here we got to see the extent that she does. I'll read the manga from the beginning when the anime has adapted everything. I don't like switching now. My complaints are very tame even if I worded it too harshly, I just think some characters could've easily been a lot better. I'm sure they'll improve. As for Jean, I think I'm never going to like him with his shitty decision making, even if I know it's part of his character and not a flaw in the writing. Sorry again for that other thread again from a week ago, I don't know if you read my last post where I tried to be more thoughtful. The posts before that were really dumb, I didn't bother to think about it because of lack of sleep. Everyone screaming plot armor and bad writing please stop it's too cringy. As soon as Erwin and Armin had fallen you should've known there was a chance of one of them getting revived. We knew about the titan serum and how they regenerate the entire body. We knew they acquired one. Armin fell on a building, it was not more than a fall of 20-30 meters, not unrealistic at all that he still had a bit of life left in him. You don't die immediately from getting burned alive. Not much time passed between his accident and revival. @Peco GoT season 8 is trash |

DupeusT31 said: Metal_Ice786 said: You better check the manga again. He clearly tears in his eyes when Hange was about to kill him and when he noticed Bertolt hadn't been rescued.I doubt he was crying in the manga. Details like a tear could barely be seen in the manga, nor in the anime. It's also unlikely that he had time to hear about Bertolt's death when they just got up on the wall. Right, I checked. |
