We not going to talk about how Annie's in a lowkey stockholm relationship with her father thinly disguised as tough love
Armin really going through it with the imposter syndrome.

Slow action episode, but they're really holding the tension by a thread.

This episode's colouring was really amazing! It was superbly good!

Ahh Annie is back - Hange and Levi are back - Floch is back with his shenanigans -_- lol

Annie's character development is looked off upon for some reason but I can see how she's tired of not showing interest in anything.
Kaya and Gabi ^ Aaaah the redemption arc for Gabi was just too good.
Armin snapping off in a calm way was interesting but nah don't say things like "Erwin was supposed to be alive", and Mikasa's scarf is gone 0.0
Connie man ffs :P
Hange's so goofy I love how Hange came back btw xd

This episode is the best so far, almost made me tear up

I'm rooting for Falco to make it back alive rn

Also I'm glad that Armin acknowledged that Erwin should've been to one to come back, even though the situation seems helpless either way, he made some nice points in his speech to Mikasa though

That was nice to see Annie back, and also that end of episode with Hange and Levi!! Though it was frustrating to see Floch like that

A decent episode. We were due a change of pace after the chaos of the last half dozen episodes this season.

So Annie was able to hear everything Armin and Hitch had spoken to her about as she sat encased in her crystal, so understands what's happening at the moment. The conversation with her 'father' was a nice-call back to S1 before right before Eren was capture her.

Interesting line at the start of the episode by the Eldian people about the Colossals following a set line formation as they leave the island as to avoid trampling on Eldians as they leave the island. It would explain why we're still getting never-ending rows of titans passing by Shiganshina hours later.

The Gabi/Kaya conversation was pretty wholesome, and Armin on the verge of cracking is an interesting character development from him given he's been able to rise above that throughout most S4 after the time-skip.

I've never really been too interested in Connie as a character, so I'm not too invested about where Isayama is taking his arc at the moment. but that may change next episode.

A Pieck/Magath/Levi/Hange team-up incoming?

Floch trying his best to extend the 2000 years of conflict for another 2000 years.

8/10 episode from me.
perfect take
floch really be doing the most
I like armin's development too, he seems a little bit more like a person of action now

my mans gave demon slayer s2 a 9 out of 10 and talks about how much plot armor the main cast has nowadays when demon slayer s2 was the pinnacle of plot armor which is commonly memed about.
It begins. Demon slayer is a shonen anime and it doesn't try to be nearly as serious as seinen anime like Attack on Titan. You're comparing shows like Arcane to the last airbender, you can't rate them the same. They are very different shows. You can't expect, nor should you, an Attack on Titan level plot from something as basic as Demon slayer, you have to rate it for what it is.


But that dont make no sense homie... Brushing off a weak plot and justifying it becuase it is a shounen just dont make no seeeeeense. My standards are not going to change just because the show has a shounen tag? Like that just sounds dumb as fuck. Look Im trying to understand your point of view.. you see I get that people really love demon slayer, i can see why that is, but most people that are so deeply in love with it are people that are newer to anime, who haven't seen that much, and aren't as familiar with these tropes etc. Heck the mugen train movie completely subverted my expectations and didnt have weak plotarmor moments. its just a shame that the author did not continue with that. by your logic youre saying "yea demon slayers plot makes no sense, its filled with plot armor "by the power of will" type of shit, but its shounen so the poor plot is excused.. 9 out of 10. Nah it makes no sense no matter how you look at it. You see, I can sort of see what youre saying like being unable to directly compare certain genres with eachother like you cant really compare a slife of lice romance with a shounen.. Both are meant to evoke different types of feelings in you. But giving a show with weak plot a 9 and excusing it because it stems from a certain genre is not it. It's not like shounens cant have a good plot. But whatever everyone rates their shit differnetly I guess you just dont care that much about plot and more about fast paced action with good animation. Thats fine but dont come and drag aot like that when you endorse other shows with x100 times worse plot

Well Armin had a chance to make himself look cool for once but sadly he ruined it by saying "I shouldn't have been brought back to life" yeah...you shouldn't have.

And they say there's no fanservice in AoT.

Morelike complaining that Annie's backstory got a better adaptation than Reiner's who's an infinitely more important character.

MAPPA can't save the narrative of next week's episode.

reiner hasn't been relevant for a long time. galliard could have taken his position if they didn't throw him in the dirt and make him a tool just to give eren the whatever titan.

I think this is the first time we see Armin lose his composure with Mikasa and snap.. It's sad how they're all confused and slowly starting to feed on Floch's words. Except for maybe Armin who's trying to do something, the rest are slowly giving up and their will to do anything to halt the rumbling is starting to fade away.

Armin's words are proof that Eren's plan is worth jack shit.. People (as in Eldians) are dying, the titan powers remain, and internal conflict on who controls them will arise. Not to forget the clashes within Eldians themselves who are pro and anti-rumbling..

The OG OST that played with Annie's small monologue takes me back to the first 3 seasons, really really glad MAPPA is doing much better with their music selection and putting the old but gold OSTs to work.

I guess these episodes will keep building up for something important in the future.

I like your take on the episode.

I know that Annie was a villain in S1 but I was hoping that she and Hitch would recall some sort of friendship. Annie needed a hug so badly. Gabi and Kaya hugging was made up for it.

Floch is annoying but he shouldn't die. He's an interesting character and I'm eager to see how his story will play out.

Agree on Connie. When he explained himself, I thought "oh my god, you're going crazy too?" We only have 5 episodes left to wrap up the entire story. I hope we get good, satisfying ending.


i think there will be a movie to close the story out, doesn't seem like ending AOT completely in five episodes is possible




It's taken me so much willpower to not read the mangas and spoil the anime. If they are going to need a movie to wrap up, I might have to dig into the manga.

It's an average episode as expected because of its content but Mappa is doing an extremely great job adapting these episodes actually. Please can we take some moments to appreciate how Mappa is handling the rumbling?

The rumbling scenes and every scene with the colossal titans in it are... I can't find anyway to describe them other than "hauntingly beautiful". They really managed to capture the horrifying feeling of the rumbling from the manga and not only that but they also managed to elevate it. I trusted Mappa with the rumbling since they are one of the best when it comes to using CG, but I never expected it to be that good actually.

Being scared shitless but acting anyway is the definition of bravery. Every member of the scouts/cadets that charged to their deaths, were brave regardless if Erwin inspired them or not. Floch is many things, coward is not one of them.

How are you dealing with his lies to Jean that Levi and friends are all dead "unfortunately"? He's lying to them to keep them tame and on his side and not look for them but as soon as Jean realizes he tried to slay Hange and Levi, he's gonna get his ass handed to him. That's what a coward does: betray allies and lie.

Bravery was the unnamed volunteer who stared down the barrel of the gun and said he'd rather die than bow and did not fear the death he was given. Cowardice is fear that people who were wronged could not be controlled.

Idk man, everything about floch screams coward to me.

I'm kinda confused about this one thing and nobody mentions it but in the manga, the current events are happens in the Stohess District but in anime it's Trost. Why is this change made? Like wasn't Annie being kept in Stohess all along? Or is it just a mistake of subs?

Average episode.

Don't really care much for Annie, so dumping her backstory after all this time did nothing for me, felt contrived.

Armin, at least acknowledges he's a useless character, nice he finally yelled for the first tim in forever, but doubt he's going to do much else besides saving that kid. Jesus we lost Erwin for this dude

Knew he won't die that easily.
Now what is Hange deal? Is She trying to make some Plot against Eren with Marlay? As usual that was a close call with Hange evading Pieck, she just can't get enough of her Titans.

Gabi and Kaya hugging was so wholesome. How far have we come.

I don’t necessarily agree with Floch, but I gotta say. Any scene that involves him is an interesting scene.

I feel so bad for both Mikasa and Armin. Both are going thru so much.
Poor girl Mikasa doesn’t even know what she should be doing :( and then she even appologized :(
I can understand Armin’s breakdown. Though I am annoyed by his constant whining that “muh there is another way, let’s stop this”… I can’t act surprised, that’s just how Armin is. He really has too much on his mind right now, just as he said.

Can’t wait to see why the next episode’s chapter is so infamous!

Ok not gonna lie, I didn't know that Flocke could turn from my most hated to my most liked AoT characters in just one episode.

All in all, I liked the episode actually. The dialogue pacing was very nice in this episode. I kinda liked it more than the other episodes of this season. It felt more organic, if you know what I mean. Can't wait for the next episode! See ya in a week!

Edit: I forgot that they just cut out the background noises in the dialogue between Annie and Hitch. I know why it was like that but it still felt weird to not hear anything.

I don't believe that Connie will be able to feed Falco to his mother, but we'll see i guess.

Poor Mikasa, she has to face her questions/issues alone, since basically nothing else matters.

Oh and my boy Levi is back, let's see what will happen.
