Night of the End

This episode really got to me from the very first scene! This episode shows the characters, facing what they have done and what they have to do! I Really liked Jean in this episode! Feel like he is underrated and he deserves these strong character moments. Yelena Even got some characterization! Once again AOT proves you dont need action to make a good episode.

Attack on Titan has finally reached it end in what is most likely one of the greatest anime tv shows of all time! Clever, inventive and NEW plot has essentially taken the anime world by force as this plot is so unique and beyond the scope of any other anime on the market today that Attack on Titan is in itself a colossi!

It is so rare and unique to have a truly well written story such as this. So much of entertainment today is reboots, and remakes that it is truly rare to have a studio come forwards with an inventive plot. Nowadays when a unique and new plot comes out it really stands out! Every imaginable form of anime has repeated the same story or some teen that has special powers that they use to fight evil and is basically the same story with a different set of outer clothing over and over in so many shows. That's what makes this show so great! It ISNT that!

A rare and original story, compelling characters with backstory, wide and expansive lore. Those characteristics are what define a unique story like this one. Great soundtrack, epic backdrops, foreboding danger around every potential corner and it makes AOT one of the great and unique amines of its time! I give this anime 9/10 and it is basically required watching for almost every single anime fan!

The tone of this episode is gloomy and resumes the dark mood this season accustomed us so far. Several characters from different factions are united to defeat a greater threat, the tension from the previous seasons re-emerge, untold stories are revelaed. This is indeed a nicer episode with respect to the previous one, which broke the suspension of disbelief in more than an occasion. An episode that prepare us for the next (but not final) showdown of the last three episodes of the season.

I respect the writer who respects his audience, and that's what I like about Attack on Titan.

The new alliance between the enemies will not come that easily, there are so many obstacles that are addressed in this episode, and the way it happened very interesting, because most of the info that have been said we already knew as a viewers, but we get the chance to experience their reaction about what happened or about each other.

I liked the way they react to their doings, the ugliness in their actions, every one of them did unforgivable sins, everyone except that he/ she is wrong (not in a tacky way of usual speech about right and wrong). Just by silence and the sorrow in their Faces.

Very emotional episode, and I can't wait to see what's next.

This. More of this. This was what we needed and wanted, the joining of hands between ex-enemies, setting aside differences and banding together to fight for the greater good to stop the genocide. Regardless of the fact that Hange & co. Stand to be beneficiaries of the genocide.

Hange's speech was very needed to combat the pro genocide narratives floating around ever since episode 5. No, Erwin would not have supported Eren or the Yeagerists, and neither would anyone else from the SC. The Survey Corps fought for the freedom of humanity, not just the island, to seek understanding through dialogue and diplomacy.

'We haven't even had a chance to talk this over!!'

A line that is brought up once more when the opportunity to talk things out finally arrives and all sides of the conflict gather at the campfire before they go on to fight Eren. Really glad to see all character dynamics come into play here, which I bet many were waiting for this kind of moment. 'I'm the same as you' is one of the most ubiquitous phrases in the post-time-skip and it's obvious why. The only thing separating them was a wall preventing communication from being established, and it all came crumbling down when push came to shove and the world's fate was at stake. And that's exactly why it's so satisfying when they all band together, to bring forth that miracle of friendship Uri chose to believe in, culminating in an alliance of ex-enemies in order to save the world.

The colour palette this episode was vibrant and colourful, with the entire campfire scene being pretty well adapted. Although I'd very much rather have the facial expressions and flashbacks from the manga adapted, our S;G storyboarder showed us his creative vision which cleverly utilises background shots and negative space to craft visual imagery for the theme of "Getting out of the forest" which is ever so pertinent for this episode. Since dialogue episodes are kinda my thing, this one is a clear favourite of mine.
