We waited 9 years for some of our favorite characters to fully let go & unleash, and boy they did fucking deliver. And such a great job by MAPPA with the animation!
Damn this episode was absolutely packeds with action. Mikasa being her former self here and Connie being person I have never seen before. This episode was full of surprises for me.
At one point Connie and Mikasa were getting a lot of screen time and I thought one of them is going to die. Thank god it didn't happen.
I can say that It's surprising that even though there was an antagonist the whole time, only the antagonist died. Floch was pretty much brain washed from all the „everyone except us should die“
Seeing Falco as a titan made me realise that it was his first transformation. To be honest, I like his titan. Some might dislike it, but I somehow like how he looks. It's also a little bit creepy and Floch's expresion pretty much summarizes that.
I really liked Annie's talks about how everyone is tired of killing and she just doesn't want to kill Eren. I wonder if Mikasa will be really that strong to be able to kill Eren.
Also seeing them together makes me think, they are not bad people. It's just if they prove some point, that the others are bad, they will have their reasons to kill. It's how life works.
Eren might not be the antagonist in the way that he is a bad guy, but killing everyone is just amoral. He changed.
The action in this one is thrilling. Great stuff.
Can't believe only one episode is left....
I get it, redemption and all, but why not tell one of the titans to start the fight by destroying that ship or use a thunder spear to do it?
So many deaths. Connie and Jean killing people they know is somehow especially hard to watch. Annie breakdown at the end. She doesn't want to kill Eren. Even after knowing what he started.
SnK always excelled at showing cost of taking human life from a different perspective. Flipping heroes and enemies once again. Allowing Yeagerists to take a role of horrified soldiers that fight "for what is right and their families" against ruthless enemies. I love reference to Opening of season 2, with Mikasa instead of Armin, for that reason specifically. But also Armin simultaneously has the highest killcount as a titan and lowest as a human, huh.
There are a couple of plotpoints that feel better like Shadis's sacrifice and the whole plan weirdly enough. Falco's form not so much... I never got used to it in the manga and it still looking freaking weird. Mappa almost made me sympathetic towards Floch's demise in a body of bloody water. Almost. Rot in hell, Floch!
that mid title card is something, that's no crackers and horse lifts.
It’s raining blood all over the place
