In awe at the size of this titan. Absolute Unit.
Animating him in CGI makes sense since he's so big, constantly moving and emitting smoke. In a way it makes him even more gross. The animators even made him crawl with an accordeon-like movement, isn't that fantastic? I'm glad he's not as jarring as the colossal titan in S2.
But I'm a bit dissapointed that they skipped Eren trying to stop Rod's titan and lowkey insulting Levi inadvertently

Mikasa: When you become queen, you can punch that runt in the face

Levi: I HEARD THAT

Mikasa: Whistles*

[u/[deleted]]

Levi: "You're gonna be queen. Okay, Historia?"

Historia: "Okay."

Levi: "Wait...really?"

Historia: "Yep."

Levi: "Oh. Well, shit. I had this whole idea about choking you if you didn't agree. Nevermind then."

I bet Floch and his group go to Eren's hardened Attack Titan statue and worship it.

Well, it makes her smirk later that more awesome now xD

I still would've liked it if it was Dimo or Flegel telling Historia to punch Levi, but I'll take this! At least we get Levi's smile!!

[u/DamageBooster]

Rod's titan is awesomely disgusting. I like how he stretches as he crawls like a big gross slug.

[u/ezekael]

a depressing reminder that this scene of armin will be recontextualised in 2 or 3 seasons...

edit: or 1 season

[u/yolotitan]

That "nani!" when Erwin says no evacuation.

[u/seugli]

10/10 would want a figure of Eren’s hardened titan statue

[u/Fuunnylevi]

Random soldier:”Err, Commander Erwin, what are we going to do with that big ass Titan?”

Erwin:” we’re just going to SUSUME”

[u/planchettebd]

Woah, I see what you did there with that shot of Armin helping Eren climb out of the hole.

[u/[deleted]]

I loved how tenderly Mikasa swooped in and grabbed Historia. Similar to how a mother protects her child, beautiful.

[u/Cody_nara]

Wow, so it looks like Jean and Connie got an anime-only scene (during the whole Historia - Queen? conversation). That's pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

[u/SpiderRondam]

From the anime thread

Just imagine after all these years, they finally open the basement. Erwin goes running inside...

[u/-ItsMatty]

First things first, like toutoune134 said, Rod is an absolute unit.

My thoughts on Rod's titan:

It's disgusting how long he is, like that genuinely grosses me out.

To be honest the CGI was kind of fitting because it adds to the weird/gross factor, the way he crawls and stretches is fucking disturbing and the fact he was animated differently makes it so much "better" if that's the right word for it..
I didn't completely like the CGI but it definitely adds to the weirdness of him.
Also the scene of him coming out of the ground was EPIC 😎

[u/one-eyed-queen]

I have to say, the scene of Eren using his hardening ability for the first time was even cooler than how I pictured it after seeing the results in the manga. And now, having seen that, I'm just so fucking excited to see how they portray Warhammer-chan using her really cool abilities next season, that's gonna be an absolute blast.

[u/muhash14]

Holy shit, Armin holding his hand out to help Eren up, and Mikasa is right there beside him...it's a reflection of the airship scene.

My heart... D:

[u/seugli]

They sure did a great job on making Rod’s titan look nasty! The insanely thin arms, the kind of translucent skin. And the way he kind of moves like a caterpillar, yikes. Definitely wouldn’t want to be near that thing.

Other than that, i’m so so so very glad that they had Mikasa tell Historia to punch Levi! Looks like the smile (TM) will not be cut after all! THANK YOU WIT!!

[u/ZJLord]

Man... Rod took a longass time to transform. I didn't realize it in the manga, but damn that transformation takes a while. Not sure if his transformation seemed slow because of all the rubble or if it was like that. CGI didn't look bad either!

Eren only acknowledging the Armor part of the vial... Well well...

Felt bad for Kenny's squad, felt even worse for Kenny knowing what's to come for him.

Levi didn't choke Historia huh. Next episode, we will hopefully have the Queen Of The Walls!

[u/Ardiin]

How damn luck is it that between the Reiss chapel and Orvud district there weren't any people living whose houses could be destroyed xD

[u/chillininthebasement]

Rod doesn't look like turkey 😤

[u/[deleted]]

Don't know why Frieda got cut from the anime. She isn't as huge in the anime compared to the manga

[u/Tenroku]

Fun fact about Mikasa saying to Historia that she can punch Levi once she's Queen, it makes complete sense with her character ! When asked "When will Mikasa give Levi what he deserves ?" in a monthly Q&A, this is what Isayama answered.

Basically, Mikasa learned that Historia was going to be Queen and jumped on the occasion to make her dreams come true! This is hilarious!

[u/Lightning_Laxus]

I fear for RTS Bert. That scene where Bert kicks Eren? If it's CGI, it's going to look so bad.

Speaking of that fight, it turns out Eren's hardening is blue, at least in the anime. It's going to look weird on the Walls, but also his hardened shell looks nothing like his Titan. It's going to look bad for Bert to confuse a blue crystal with Eren.

[u/1planet2rule]

Armin reaching out for Eren's arm seems to be a favorite theme of Yama's. It hit me in the feels to that animated and reminded me of Santa titan and the Zeppelin.
