From You, 2000 Years Ago

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.

This is one of the best episodes of the series, if not the best. I've been saying this for the last 3 weeks about every new episode though. Attack on Titan is a masterpiece and this episode reveals the plan of its best character in an extremely satisfying way. The backstory was also handled extremely well. Music, animation and voice acting are all stellar, as is the plot.

I just feel so bad for anime or AOT haters. They CHOOSE to hate something so spectacular and it's just sad. This was probably the best episode I've ever watched. It's so hard to top your work even once, but AOT does It every week.

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.

Just flawless. Everything comes together,like pieces in a puzzle. You cannot even begin to think that far ahead before this show blows your mind away. I'm just in awe.... It's also very emotionally charged and nuanced. I will go rewatch it from season one now because I feel like a fool rn.
