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.

Everything involving Connie was very rushed, and I was hoping they'd extend it in the adaptation but I expected them not to. Outside of Connie, everything in this episode was good. Also the ending scene where Connie says "to save the world🤓" was really goofy in the manga and it was slightly better here.

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.

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..

This unlike the last episode which was more like a coming back to reality episode from Annie's perspective, was a good set-up episode for what's to come. And judging by how this episode was, what's to come will be quite intense.

Excellent scenes like: Connie and Armin, the reunion of the former scouts team and the scene between Floch and Jean as well as the last scene were all superbly done. Yes it may have been a bit rushed, but I don't really have a problem with that at this point in the show where the world's fate is at stake. There's also useless to say that the ending prepared the way for a dramatic end of Part 2 of the Final Season, because that is already an understatement by AoT standards.

All in all, good episode, decent set-up, good character interactions, interesting twists also, although slightly rushed, into a good way to prepare what's to come. 10/10.
