@jakeukalane ever read the manga before?
@rayattarahman8 the answer is: obviously not.
@rayattarahman8 I am reading it right now, but I haven't reached the anime yet. It doesn't change the fact that this chapter was boring, even with Eren making a philosophical discourse. You can say that is calm before storm. Ok, but it was boring. Maybe I am not used to see chapters alone, I have seen the previous seasons always without pauses, in a marathon, not chapters with a week of separation. Maybe is that I don't feel any connection with Marley characters and I don't care about them.
The feeling until now is that I am disappointed. I hope the next chapters have more storm and prove me wrong. I have seen 3 times the previous seasons so I compare with that.
@jakeukalane Ehh it's fine you don't like this one, and about Marley? yeah maybe because they show up a bit late to the show is the reason why you don't care about them, and that's okay. Most of the non-manga readers are also confused as well when the first episode airs they were like "Who the hell are these Marley people, where's the main character and his squad?". Maybe this kinda semi-flashback episode is not your cup of tea y'know, everyone has a different taste. Personally I'm cool with it, i get to see how the Marley's protagonist (Reiner) get where he is today. Oh and the character design, it's supposed to look like that, it's a 4 year timeskip after the final of S3 (now year 854), that's why most of the character will slightly change in terms of design, you can read the manga (Highly recommend it, if you don't mind the spoilers) if you don't believe me.
@jakeukalane try a month of separation between each chapters sometimes even two... Looking back, I wasn't found of new characters and old "bad" ones either. And couldn't wait for our main characters to comeback.
It's quit harsh change of perspective, but it's needed for later. And you could always catch up or move ahead of the anime. They skipped some interesting parts of the lore.
Of course it's depends on what you like seeing in AoT. The rest of the story and it's ending maybe not up to your alley.
Hell, it's feels like Snk before and after basement reveal is two completely different stories, sometimes.
@rayattarahman8 no, with the designs I meant about the flashback Annie, Berth old and Reiner.
I mentioned Eren because that even resembles less but is the one that has a bit of justification because of the time passed. The other three share timeline in the flashback with the previous sessions.
I really hope it improves and probably I'll catch up soon in the manga.

Another very boring chapter. And now they sum up three... Also, I dislike the new style of drawing. Eren. Reiner, Bertholt, Annie didn't even look like themselves.
