From You, 2000 Years Ago

Masterfully written & directed episode with some shocking Revelations and horrors of the past, this episode was like a Dream. Witness this, ye mighty and despair. I had literal chills when I heard T-KT ost from S3 Part 2 & the new OST, "Footsteps of Doom". This show is dominating the entertainment history and setting bar for TV. 10/10.

Greatest of all time. Zenith of the medium. Hallmark of media. Gold standard of storytelling. Apogee of creativity. Vertex of invention. Crest of ingenuity. Acme of imagination. Pinnacle of innovation. Epic of epics. Legend among legends. Peak Fiction.

I'm literally speechless like Ymir right now. This is definitely the BEST episode of Attack on Titan. I don't care what anyone says, there's no question about it. Eren's dream under the tree in chapter 1, his motivations in the post timeskip, the origin of the titans, the truth of this cruel world, the names of the walls, the name of the first chapter and episode, how the Attack Titan's power came to be, literally every piece of foreshadowing from the first episode was building up to this point.

13 years ago in the manga, 9 years ago in the anime: Episode 1 "To You, 2000 Years Later"

Today: Episode 80 "From You, 2000 Years Ago"

SPEECHLESS.

OMG! As a manga reader, this episode exceeded my expectations. The gritty art, some insane animation sequences and the titan animation and designs are the best of the Final Season so far. The flashback scenes were so intense and emotional to watch. MAPPA went above and beyond with the visuals and the ost. Thank you MAPPA :)

Rating: 10.0

First episode was titled To you 2000 years from now. Now we're at From you 2000 years ago. This was the knot tying up years of circular writing. Multiple plot points and character motivations became clear, the origin of the entire narrative was revealed and fit into place into already existing lore. Minimal CG though the end card looked a little jarring. Rating this a 10 since the adaptation was good and the content was incredible.

What can I say except HOLY SHT?!

I thought at first that the episode is moving the plot forward very slowly but Jesus Christ I didn't expect that ending! Lots of stuff and revelations happened in this episode.

So first of all let me praise the music once more and say I really appreciate this show's composers and what they've done and are doing so much. It's great to hear T-KT again, or rather a new rendition of it.

I gotta say, I didn't know just how much a tragic character Ymir is and how much of a POS King Fritz is.

It's really nice to finally see how it all started and why Ymir behaves the way she does and it's a really sad backstory.

But that ending though! Eren is absolutely a beast right now! I didn't expect them to that this soon.

Absolutely mind-blowing ending to a great episode, I can not wait for the next episode.
