Pride

First of all, this episode gave me more of what I wanted instead of just more Annie. And this episode did more for Annie than the previous episode. She didn't even speak, but she instantly felt more human and real.

There are like three jokes in this episode and I think they all work. This episode is a better "cool before the storm" episode that the last one. I am really hoping the last two episodes pick up the goddamn pace which has descended to hell.

Almost every character here has a good character moment apart from Eren. Hange, Mikasa, Armin, Connie, Annie, Hitch, Floch, Yelena, John Bodega all get a nice scene in the episode. The episodes pacing is really nice but not the shows pacing.

This is easily the worst the show has ever been. No where near masterpiece level.

Its a great 8.5 episode with just good moments. Hoping the show gets back to masterpiece in the final two episodes.

The manga readers kept on saying that this episode gonna be trash and cringy which made me worried and not hyped, but after watching it i can say don't ever listen to the manga readers. It was actually a very good episode, maybe a little but rushed, but there was nothing cringy or bad. Whoever hate on it are mostly a fan of the genocide, but you need to understand that these characters never wanted to kill PEOPLE to get freedom, they are different from the Yeagerist who are killing anyone who goes against them. Plus, i freaking miss Eren and can't wait to see him.

I think, it's the episode where the good things take off.. next episode will be a blast for sure.

In this episode, there were things which looks minute but has very deep meaning. Overall very enjoyable episode.

There were good moments in the start.

The middle was good too.

And the end was good too..

The visuals were great, great animation as always, Hange and Levi, I love Hange, want more of her, the tension between the yeagerists, but this episode had a lot of cringy and weird moments. Pacing was alright, Annie coming which was good. The Mikasa and Louise scene. Then Annie shows up and all of a sudden there's comedy, do they not realize she literally killed many of their friends and soldiers? The meetup between Armin, Annie and Connie is a bit too convenient. Idk, it's just a strange change of tone. Most of the episode wasn't related to the plot, just some subplot with Connie which got resolved hella fast. Apparently the next episode fixes the issues with this episode so good.

Oh my god, what are you people even saying? Were we even watching the same show? If you judge AOT with one episode without even considering what happens in the next one, then you might as well stop it. The next episode is the one that stipulates how hard it is for them to join forces with each other. It's not simple, As a manga reader, without spoiling, I can tell you that the upcoming episodes will give you intense reminiscent vibes. The Ragako scene was intense. Been waiting so long for the, "Let's go save the world". Why do people hate that scene? Do you not have common sense? The scouts have always been one to consider putting their lives to save "humanity". It doesn't matter even if they are enemies. Even inside the walls, they had a lot of enemies. Did they kill all of them? Do you know how ridiculous it sounds if Connie were to tell them, "let's not save the world"? The soundtracks were typically astonishing. Jean's words at the lake hits hard. AOT, what a ride this has been. Thank you Isayama. I don't wanna die without witnessing 'The Rumbling' chapter animated. The best chapter of anything I've ever read. There are some people genuinely hating AOT and even reviewing every episodes with toxicity and toxic review titles. Grow up.
