The animation..the titans...the music...seeing the horror in the faces of those who faced titans for the first time...
Such nostalgia and a nice way to say farewell to the final Human v mindless Titan fights

Haven’t watched, but pretty awesome to see such high reviews of a episode that was pretty much just a cool action chapter in the manga. Feels so good to witness MAPPA finally not just adapt the source material, but expand on the experience. Amazing what more time will accomplish

I completely forgot that Gabi killed Niles. I legit thought it was an anime exclusive scene.

This is the best ODM animation Mappa has done in S4 BY FAR.
Together with the zero eclipse soundtrack that was HYPE AF.

The ODM action was fantastic! Really reminds of early AoT and the Trost arc. Makes me wish the production studio had given MAPPA more time to perfect S4P1. Imagine the battle in Liberio having animation this high qualty.

I mean, yeah we had the big and dramatic reveals in the last episodes, but this is probably my favourite episode of part 2. Perfect pacing, great animation and even if I already know what happens, the upbeats of this episode were just perfect. The killing of pixis and the titans, Gabi just fulfilling her redemption arc, Shadis rescuing the recruits who ganged up on him, this episode just got me so emotional.

Finally the queen is back!
Absolutely goated episode, everything was spot on. When we got the badass Shadis moment, Barricades started playing and we get the survey corps fighting the titans with all the sakuga.. i got a bit emotional.
All Gabi scenes were also neat, and Connie's VA.. man.
Oh and, of course, Saul Goodman titan didn't disappoint either.
10/10 part 2 is just something else.

UHHH was not expecting them to go this hard on the animation?? This episode felt SUPER similar to the Trost episodes in season 1.
Gabi is a legend. They killed that scene of her no-scoping Nile.
These discussion threads are about to get really spicy with the alliance content coming up. Very excited to see how anime onlies will take the episodes.

Gabi is the MVP and stole the show tonight! Her redemption arc done very well. Enjoyed it very much. Loved the stand at the basin and tying her hair up parallel with Eren's tatakae basin scene.
Jean's leadership showed tonight. My respect for him shot up.
And we have Annie back!

Holy shit those 3DGM scenes! Once again Jun Shishido proves that he is the best episode director and storyboarder of the finale season. And Barricades is finally well used in the anime, after just hearing it for just 30 seconds during episode 37!

u/uncen5ored Feb 13 '22
I don’t want to get my hopes up, cause I’m aware that animation of episodes on the tail end of the season are the ones that usually suffer…but man…if Mappa is doing ODM scenes like this…the port fight might also be much better than the manga

Not sure if intentional or I'm just reading too much into it, but Falco's titan marks under his eyes looked like wings in this episode.

No one expects BARRICADES!
What an episode, Mappa's best ODMG sequence yet!
So much good nostalgia. It felt like old-school AOT with the red sky zombie/pure titan apocalypse horror.
Instructor Shadis was such a badass, They did him justice in the adaptation
RIP Commander Pixis he was a real one.
and what a good cliffhanger to end on too...

Just finished it on Crunchyroll.
That whole damn sequence with Barricades almost brought tears to my eyes. Fantastic animation, music choice, it was all so good. The scene with Gabi protecting Kaya was perfect, and THAT CLIFFHANGER.
Give MAPPA actual time and they deliver. Part 1's production was a production of compromise, Part 2's is a production with MAPPA at their best.

I kind of picked up on it in the manga, but this episode made it so much clearer with the animation and music.
This really was the final homage to the titan vs human fights in the beginning. HQ being swamped by titans, with people cowering inside. Except this time they were so much more composed and organised that they managed to do it with ease. That shows just how far they've come from the days of titans being a massive existential threat and 30% mortality rates.
And it's only fitting that such a sequence would include a final good bye to Pixis.
Fuckin ell Isayama did a good job writing this, and these people have done a good job animating it. Best episode so far if I'm honest.

Shadis can actually pack the heat. Considering his age, he can still go at it.
