Warrior

Oh my gosh, this episode makes you so shocked that you're a headache, damn it, it's such a great episode and so much fun .

Add to that the shocking feeling that gives you goosebumps throughout the episode.

The 10/10 rating for this episode is not a mistake. It's not caused by fan-boys. It's not because of anime bias. It's because of masterful storytelling. This isn't your typical anime story that the author conjures up week-by-week to meet comic book deadlines -- AOT is pre-meditated start to finish with meticulous detail and foreshadowing.

This episode, particularly the emotional impact of it, far exceeds any and all expectations. The storytelling and manner in which the plot unfolds sets a completely new bar that I'm afraid won't be reached by other media any time soon.

If you're reading this with doubts that an anime could have such a high rating, watch the show. Pick it up right now. It doesn't matter if you like anime or not. Just grab a snack, and force yourself to watch the 20-minute-long pilot episode. AOT is nothing short of a masterpiece.

This episode was the first of this season to blow my mind, like S01E25 or S01E21.

I have no words to describe the music, perfect in every aspect.

A lot of things, leading one to the other to this ending, incredible.

If you come here to see why this episode is rated so high, look forward to watching it yourself.

The extraordinary music, the brilliant animation, the tension and the revelation. This episode was able to produce all kinds of emotions, and to maintain that state for 24 minutes. I really don't have more words to describe the episode, it needs to be watched to experience the piece of art that it is.

Incredible direction and storytelling. Unforgettable climax to the episode.
