Sneak Attack

The reasons for this 1 star bombing make NO sense.. if i dont like something i usually tend to avoid it, so why do you actively seek out what you dont like? This wont make your favorite show any better or more popular.. if anything it just ruins the reputation of it! I wish we could all just come together and enjoy this masterpiece! I dont know why this has to be a compatition, cause every anime is good for their own seperate reasons, so stop comparing them! Lets all just appreciate each others favorite anime/shows, Enjoy them and stop this reviews bombing

I enjoyed this episode A LOT!! Lots of epic moments!! Better than the previous episode which was a great start! Yelena's face was freaking scary! That scene with Gabi and Falco really got to me.. Very emotional! Got super excited when Ashes on fire came on! Solid soundtrack in this episode! The hype and succes will only increase from here, and a 1 star is never gonna change that.

It was a solid episode, they really learned from their past mistakes. I hope haters dont make a move like last time, if you hate it please state your judjements objectively dont be dumb and childish.

What an episode MAPPA, first off I love the new music and especially the apt music choices, such as APETITAN being used for Zeke's entrance and how consistent the character designs are right now. And is that a 2D beast titan I see? I can't even tell the CG and 2D apart anymore.

I like how a more sombre version of "The Fall of Marley" plays while Reiner and Eren were going at it, as if deliberately in sync with his pitying of Eren. It's "The Fall of Shiganshina", but sadder.

And I too love the addition of the birdcages as an allegory of Gabi's ignorance of her actions and brainwashing, with the scene of an open birdcage placed right after she confesses that there were no devils, only humans. The juxtaposition just yells Gabi getting out of the forest to me.

Following Mr. Braus's words on opening a dialogue and seeking mutual understanding, Gabi reflects on Reiner's feelings and the other Eldians she had never even met before. It's great to see Mappa put some care to develop Gabi's character growth in ways they didn't need to. It's such a nice touch.

Another easy 10/10 for both MAPPA and AOT.

I haven't seen the subs yet but the soundtrack used throughout this episode is astonishing especially the apetitan ost during zekes arrival was absolute goosebumps. The character design and countenance is consistent since episode 1 and the VA of gabi really nailed it especially eren screaming is terrifying mah boi Yuki kaji always pulls it off as expected from him. Pacing is good and cgi perfectly blends to the environment and titan fight seems better than episode 1.

Also before I forget please stop review bombing the episode it's very immature, rate the episode fair and square then at least provide a valid constructive criticism if you don't like it this isn't a contest.

Despite everything, AOT never fails to deliver and this season especially. The pacing, the animation, the story, everything is just so perfect, 12 years into watching anime never even once I find myself THIS excited for an episode to release. AOT really is phenomenal.
