| Nice to see MaPPa studio is using Picture in Picture in stead of Animating Reiner's Flash Back some Parts. |
| I hope the ultra fast pace is ending with this episode like some are saying. Some scenes simply did not receive the weight they deserved, it was like a slideshow of events with no artistic emphasis. Even Reiner's suicide attempt felt off and not that impactful. |
| Great episode although it was a bit rushed. We finally get to see Eren, next episode is gonna be crazy. |
 |
| Thank god the animation wasn't as weird as episode 2. I had a problem with how fast everything went by. I really wish they paused a little to let the dialogues and the emotions sink in. With action scenes, you can show action after action without a pause, but for character scenes, you need proper pauses. What happened to the voice acting? The characters sounded so weird! Especially baby Reiner. Eren, Armin and Kenny were the only ones who sounded right. The directing so far isn't very good. I don't know why they changed the directors, but I wish they got someone more competent. I looked up the current directors, and they haven't made anything that is better than mildly good, which isn't enough for SnK. |

Different voice actor for child Reiner, Eren has gotten older so his voice actor had to change his voice tone so the older Eren sounds a bit more mature? He said it in his interview that it was a bit difficult at first. Hope that answers your question. Also its a different studio so the director for Wit studio can't be the director for snk since its under Mappa now. |

| really good episode seeing their side growing up really puts stuff in to perspective even more and that traitor scene from Season 2 really hits you fucking different with Reiner's lines i'm still team fuck him but it hurts a little ya know. also wild our boy is just here lurking, the twist of Eren doing the same shit Reiner did back then supporting his enemy is great |

| Who was that guy who hung himself? |

Eren's voice was good. I trust Kaji Yuuki with Eren. He is perfect for the role. I know about the studio change, but I wish the new director was someone who knew what they were doing. |

| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| what the hell is with all the scene skipping this season? i know they did a lot last season too but i hope it stops next episode :\ it feels way too rushed also, unrelated but whatever happens, i will never like Gabby |
| Was nice seeing the past from Annie's, Reiner's and Berthold's point of view, also getting to see Kenny! Annie made a dangerous encounter back then. Seems like someone is doing a counter infiltration and preparing a counter Attack. |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Great episode. Didn't really care about the cuts from the manga. I think a LOT of people will love Reiner more after watching this episode. And our MC is back. Can't wait for the next one! |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| It was cool to see Reiner's side of the story before the actual story of Season 1 began. |
| Can someone explain that Annie and Kenny scene? Is she his daughter? Wtf is that? More importantly how did she escaped Kenny? |
 |
| Great episode. We finally got to see the other side of the story and what actually happened to Reiner, Annie, Berthold and Co when they were children. There must be a reason why Marley picks children to become the next Titan generation. Hmm so that's how Marcel died and Ymir became the Jaw titan. Imagine if Reiner, Annie and Berthold broke up their mission. I wonder what would have happened then. There's still the question, where was Annie when Berthold and Reiner attacked the wall? Did anything happen before? Seems like Reiner and Annie didn't have the best relationship. With this season I really began to like Reiner more and more. The suicide attempt of him was bit scary but I guess his time hasn't come yet. I liked his little speech. That's exactly how he and Reiner felt all that time. But now actually knowing it is him, how did he get there? And what exactly is his next move? Where are Levi, Mikasa and Co? So many questions. Can't wait to get the answers. |
 |
| What an episode! Finally, after all these years, we got to know how the attack started. Only if Marcel was alive...maybe things could have been different, he probably was the only one who could control Reiner's anger, and it seems that none of them besides Reiner, wanted to fight the Eldians... Now guess what, Reiner is the one who plans to swap sides, lmao Also, Berthold was probably the most normal out of them 3, but he never stood a chance against them, they were stronger mentally. I do wonder who's that guy who got injured and if is he relevant. It seems there is still quite a lot of development that has to happen before we see Eren and others. Another week, another wait. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| It was actually pretty good. Stil kinda fast paced but I understand the need to go asap to the action scenes. CG Reiner looks just as weird as ever... too bad Mappa couldn’t match Wit’s style on the flashback, the change of studio is too obvious and distracting. Overall, a good chapter |
| i just watched the episode and it didn't felt rushed but there were a lot of missing scenes. I didn't really get the point of the Kenny scene lol. If i'm not mistaken it's just to show that Annie was busting her ass working while reiner and bert were busy making friends. Was the hobo's speech cut? i felt like it could have been better with a better soundtrack. great episode though holy shit. there was just so much to ingest. |

YggdraSEED said: Can someone explain that Annie and Kenny scene? Is she his daughter? Wtf is that? More importantly how did she escaped Kenny? Annie was doing detective work in the capital in an attempt to find information that would lead them to the person with the founding titan. She ran into Kenny/or was purposely following him and was caught. So she made some BS excuse as to why she was tailing him so that she could get away. He didn't buy it so she attacked him and escaped. |
keragamming said: Yea animation in this episode is definetly better and it didnt have many static shots compared to many of wit's episodes and i like how close it looked to WIT's art style this episode props to that, so i think we cant really complain about animation in this episode since colossal looked so damn good during the showcase sceneSoranoCloud said: I agree with @keragamming here, I was depressed because of the animation quality last week, but this week is ok. I really prefer stiff traditional animation to choppy rotoscoped animation. This week was not outstanding, but my eyes didn't bleed. I think we've got a good idea what to expect from the season overall. Ihmo, not bad enough to drop, not good enough compared to previous seasons. Did anyone keep count of WIT's footage reused in this episode? Am I right in thinking that this scene with Eren before the opening is from season 1, and also 2D Female and Colossal titans in Shiganshina? I also did't really get the meaning of the episode with Kenny. Overall it was okay. I didn't feel much emotionally to be honest, but it was not terrible. I'm not particularly sad about the cut parts. Somebody asked if Reiners flashbacks omitted from the previous episode were shown. The answer is no, and I don't think we'll get them. It was nice to see again the fierce green eyes of a certain hobo. 7/10 The scene before the opening is form Mappa, the female titan scene is also from Mappa, the Collosal titan scene is reuse scene from Wit. This scene is also from Mappa, which impress me because it looks really like Wit studio version, the only reason why I know it is not because in season 1 it was thick black outlines and this one doesn't have it.  @eXtripa69 The very fact that they put the Eren scene in the end is for the big reveal, I know chapter 98 would have been the better reveal, but anime only would have figure out that its Eren in this scene, which I think why they choose to put this scene at the end. I read the manga and I knew it was Eren before we even got to this scene, I think even with a different voice actor anime only would have still notice, as I have watch a few live reaction and they said they realize it was Eren 100% when they saw his eyes. |
| Man a lot of enjoyable moments this episode. The first half consists of Reiner's flashback from his training days to his struggles in the Paradis island. I love the fact that if Ymir didn't showed up, we wouldn't have reached this point. So Annie and Reiner were never really that friendly with each other, considering how our man is pretty flimsy and prideful (like Eren). And the fact that Annie met with Kenny before...it was not that important but hey nice trivia. Looks like after all the mistakes and regrets he had made all his life, we get a very nice and shocking shot of Reiner putting a gun in his mouth. GODDAMN. And on the latter half, we see Falco talking with a certain man who have a long hair, bandages for an eyepatch and an amputated leg. It looks like the man shows sympathy on Falco's situation, and advises him to live life as a good man...(I don't want to kill you in the future, so you better stay the fuck down). We know who's that man at this point, IT'S OUR BOI EREN.  Reiner looking at Annie dead straight is so scary. Geez Annie you're really going to boil his nerves. |

| "There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Could be handled battle and smoother, but it's okay, nice eps. |
 |
| I never thought Reiner would become such an important character, he and Eren kind of same. voice acting was good, animation was weak if they are going on animation like these future episodes action scenes are going to look weird. also did they skip some scenes or chapters? and will there be 2nd part or this season is gonna cover the whole AOT manga or not? |

Well the entire reason he was at the end of the ep is to make us realize that he has infiltrated marley . Even manga readers realized that it was him when this chapter came out . |

| the first two episode were good (not comparing with wit) but what happened to this episode it looks weak. |

Wow spoiler tag is needed i guess Nope that isn't a spoiler at all . If you didn't recognize it was him then its your fault |

| Overall great episode, although I feel like we're losing that original season one AoT energy... it's a bit more.. heavy and tired in comparison to the usual angst and screaming...it's been a long time since someone's been eaten LOL. Sidenote, I definitely spent a good ten minutes googling the VA of Eren because it sounded like Eren until they showed his face. Wow... I guess time is real. (But also where's Mikasa and the others?) So Reiner is having major PTSD/regret to sending his friends off to go die, but to be fair -- even though they were together since they were young -- Friend is a bit of an overstatement. If anything, he was closer to those in the wall vs those he traveled with. He's starting to remind me of a more washed out Erwin in his latter days of regret. Ironic jaws got eaten by a pair of jaws. |

A lot of my friends who also read didn't recognize him which made the reveal even more epic Is that so ? Well for me i was confused and then I looked at chapter discussions to confirm whether it was him or not . I got really hyped when I found it was him . |
