The Final Chapters: Special 1

OH.. My... god!! Absolutely breathtaking and emotionally devestating episode! This was brutal, mercyless.. yeah just pure slaughter at times! Desperation as everyone clings to their lives! My heart and soul feels trampled! Chills shattered through me! There were multiple scenes where I almost lost it.. sobbing and realized that even the greatest monster has a human side buried deep down! Is this the price for freedom?

Otherwise the animation was AMAZING!! The best of the entire show!! Felt like watching a movie! Amazing and smooth ODM gear scenes and some fantastic long takes! Great clean colours! Sometimes i wanted to pause just to admire! Thank you too everyone who worked SO hard on this!

The final part had me SO hyped! Amazing soundtrack! Under the tree by SIM is a banger! Now I can not wait for the FINALpart! Torture.

This episode of Attack on Titan has undoubtedly secured its place in history as a masterpiece of television entertainment, just as the entire series is sure to be. As fans of the show, this particular episode is flawless, as it delivers all of the elements that we could have desired, and yet goes above and beyond our wildest expectations, taking us on an emotional journey that transcends the screen.

From the gripping music to the inspiring art and animation, from the compelling story and dialogue to the skilled directing and masterful portrayal of emotion, every aspect of this episode is executed with a level of excellence that is truly breathtaking. By the end, we felt as we have been both the strongest Titan and the weakest human, our emotions heightened by the stunning visuals and storytelling.

It is a truly spectacular experience that left me in awe and wonder, one that simply cannot be missed.

The direction and filming of the horror, destruction, and fear scenes were revolutionary, and the moments of the giants' transformation and the use of ODM gear were genius. New osts were great but not as legendary as previous seasons.

The plotline and its progression as usual were amazing, and I didn't feel bored while watching it. Honestly, I felt like it was less than an hour. Levi, despite his disfigured face, still has his sharp tongue. The philosophical dialogues at the beginning of the episode were fantastic.

One of the biggest reasons why I love Attack on Titan is the dilemma of hatred that it discusses, and the fact that there is no right side.

These 3 words are the only way I could describe this entire first episode. Cinematography, Animation, Art-style, Music, Voice Acting, Creativity, Horror, Writing and Story-telling is mind-blowing with this one.

Attack On Titan is without a doubt one of the greatest shows ever created, and this episode right here is without a doubt the best in the series. There is so much stuff to talk about regarding every character's decisions, philosophies and developments that it would take you whole essays to fully uncover the layers. The dreadful atmosphere and tone where everything feels like it's going to end very badly for the characters we love and the innocents, is made up for those last 10 staggeringly emotional minutes of the episode. It contrasts the first ever episode of Attack On Titan perfectly, where it feels like Humanity has no chance.

Hell, it still feels like it has very little chance for survival even after the end of this episode, but there is still hope. This type of stuff is the best thing about Attack On Titan: This piece of art constantly offers you intriguing details about carefully cratfed characters and a world with a history, both of whom invoke a rare feel of realism that you rarely get from animated movies or shows, and sometimes even live-action stuff. It grabs the audience by the throat, throws them in the literal definition of "Hopelessness" and still finds a way to unexpectedly comfort you in the end.

There has been no show that felt like it matured the same way this show has, along with its' audience.

There has been no show that forced the Audience out of their comfort zone the same way this show has.

Attack on Titan, itself, is an experience, and this episode furhter confirms that. Regardless if the ending will satisfy me or not, I will never forget about the positive impact it had on me and many other consumers of art. Shinzo wo Sasageyo!

(I know of the mixed reception the manga ending got, I have not read it, but let's see how the anime takes it, shall we? Let's hope for the best!)

Attack on Titan flies away from most of the anime...a cinematic, powerful and tragic episode ...... Another great episode presented to us by this integrated work.. An episode that proves the strength of the plot and writing of this work ahead of its time... The greatest work of art known to mankind in its artistic history.. And there is no work that comes close to the attack of the giants in its plot, narration, and the interconnectedness of its events and So complex story... oh my god what did you just watch ... thank u mappa ... thank you hajime isayama. ///// The Rumbling of the earth was terrifying. It was hell itself.
