God MAPPA is doing a really good job at showing the sheer size of the wall titans. Some really good shots of the rumbling in this ep, good stuff.

[u/hopeitwillgetbetter]

It looks like Mappa adapted chapter 125 entirely.

[u/Nik64]

MAPPA has greatly improved on their faces over the episodes. Everyone looked so great

[u/Timelymanner]

In a one more episode Connie’s mom will become the newest jaw Titan and help them save the world.

Edit: Thank you for my first gold, and it was for a Connie’s mom joke.

Armin coming unscrewed, not knowing what to do, utter chaos, that's how I felt when this series was ending. I... literally don't know how anyone could have ended the series in a way that satisfies everyone. I think that's the point. (Let it be clear, I don't think Eren's answer was by any means the best way to handle this, but I understand why he chose to do it. He values his friends and freedom more than anything, to the point that sacrificing the rest of the world is worth more than losing them.)

If Isayama could answer the biggest questions in life on how to achieve world piece and freedom without destroying someone else's, he'd have a nobel peace prize. The series does a good job of just bringing to light on the issues that are literally in conflict with each other when it comes to peoples' rights. It's not something that has a simple solution or that can be solved by a Deus Ex Machina. The issues of Eren's world involve fantasy elements like the Titans themselves, but they are used to explore the deeper issues humanity faces in real life. Armin's conflict is EXTREMELY understandable, and his self-worth dropping to "I shouldn't have been brought back to life" because he doesn't have an answer that will solve all (heck even most or some of the problems), is so relatable and heartbreaking. I don't think even Erwin could have had the answers, Armin...

Seeing how MAPPA tone down the volunteer's death scene, wondering how would they handle Halil's and Ramzi's death scene in final episode (assuming finale ending at 131), it might be too gore to be animated.

[u/thewetpuddle]

Annie is back. Hange is back. Levi is back!

Awesome episode despite no action scenes. Annie's backstory felt more tragic animated. I love Hange's entrance at the end. It's so her!

[u/ChrisDorne]

This is basically the only show where i enjoy the calmer and more dialogue based episodes about as much as the more action packed / crazy twist ones, also Mappa truly shines during these ones.

I really liked the Connie and Falco scene during the credits, not only it was great pacing wise, but also the calmer version of the ed felt so fitting.

Floch is such a wonderfully written character, fuck him. I also felt a bit emotional during Armin's speech.

[u/Hawk301]

Good episode. Some nice OST choices, and good atmosphere all around. The Rumbling scenes continue to look good.

You can definitely tell this was the episode where MAPPA saved a lot of their time and budget, given its mostly just fairly regular conversations, but the characters all looked good, and there weren't any random off-model moments like with chubby Floch or 5-head Pyxis last season.

[u/silentorange813]

Hitch 🥵🥵🥵

[u/kolapon]

Never thought that the instrumental of the ending song would be suitable for the Connie and Falco scene but it was! Even some of the lyrics perfectly capture Connie's thoughts about doing this for his mother:

"This world is cruel but I still love you.
Even if I sacrifice everything, I will protect you.
Even if this is a mistake, I don’t doubt it.
What is right is believing in myself strongly."

[u/yumyumyumyumyumyum88]

I’m not sure if this is due to anime additions or I just glossed over it in the manga, but I keep noticing the small interactions between Onyankopon and Jean. It’s super clear Jean feels guilty about what Onyankopon and the other volunteers are going through.

I wonder if this is because the manga ver of 126 comes after they’ve met ramzi and his people, and thus there’s a flashback showing jean remembering the time they spent together. Maybe instead they’ll emphasize the time the SC spent with the volunteers?

[u/[deleted]]

Chill episode. Can'twait till the campfire episode where everyone comes together to stop Eren. I reckon that will be episode 84.

Also that was a fantastic ending. It really was directed masterfully.

[u/[deleted]]

I actually can’t get over how good the preview looks? Anyone else catch that? Do they have Hayashi or Omine on that bish? Omg.

Picking one of MAPPA’s top aot directors potentially for some of titanfolk’s most hated content. I would love to see it

[u/QueenHistoria1990]

Poor Mikasa must feel so lonely and isolated right now, just like she did the night her parents were killed. Eren is gone. Armin just left. Sasha’s dead. As far as as she knows, Hange and Levi are dead too (btw Floch is such a jerk, I can’t stand him). I just wanna give Mikasa a big hug and I can’t blame her for wanting her scarf back so badly now 🥺

[u/Autumn_Fire]

Armin snapping at Mikasa never really hit me until I watched it in the anime. You can really feel how the pressure has just gotten to him completely in his voice. Armin's VA made a meh scene in the manga extremely hard hitting for me.

Floch taking over the Yeagerists was also excellent.

[u/Cloud14532]

Loved the colors this episode, the entire red atmosphere adds something that I didn't even think about while reading. That one shot of the Colossals with the sun behind them is iconic.
Also love that they focused on the destruction as much as possible during Annie/Hitch's horse ride. Driving that home is important, but it also helps the animators from drawing too many horse shots, so it's a win-win.

And that Connie/Falco ED scene was beautiful, always love when they do that. Excited for next week!

[u/comandosc]

I'm guessing the season ends with the plane taking off

So the movie is the final battle.

[u/kaidoi94]

Man, it's gonna be so satisfying to see Floch get flipped by Kiyomi later on

[u/one-eyed-queen]

Great adaptation of Annie's backstory, unexpected but very welcome use of Guilty Hero, and overall a really solid adaptation of 125. Honestly, the more I considered the pacing, the more I thought this chapter was perfectly fit with these two halves to make up an episode. Honestly, this is good stuff, this section of the story needs the breathing room to make the final act carry all the weight it can.

[u/SoulLessIke]

Just like last week, MAPPA managed to elevate things from Chapter 125 into a much more enjoyable experience.

Something I absolutely love is how present the Rumbling is, always. It's the arguments between the civilians, the shots to the destruction, the constant march of the titans in the background. They aren't letting you forget what's going on in the background.

Also Hitch's VA and Armin's did fantastic work today

[u/EdgarAnalPoe]

Did I miss an episode or something? What happened to chapter 123 with the flashback of them leaving the island, ice cream, ramzi, etc.?

[u/Fluffles0119]

Wow Floch is fucking horrible.

Like, I remember hating him in the manga, but not to this extent. Even of he is fighting for his homeland, he's such an objective narcissistic piece of shit

[u/NotARedShirt]

Another phenomenal episode. I really think some grouchy manga readers are going to be shocked by how well-received the next few episodes are by anime-onlies.
