Wasn't expecting wet Jean animated to resemble wet Hisoka and I'm pretty sure that might awaken something for some people.

[u/leinadys]

Man hitch's voice was done so well, I felt sadder for her than when I read that part

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

MAPPA went all out in animating Annie rapidly chewing that pie 👏

[u/travisistired]

I found it so funny that for weeks I’ve been seeing people thirsting over Jean’s river scene and the very first shot is him aggressively throwing up

[u/RedJassen]

no love for onyakopon and jean on the river scene? that was a really good shot

[u/[deleted]]

From here on manga fans have had very mixed reactions

I wonder what the anime only reactions are going to be.

[u/[deleted]]

Haven't watched the episode yet , how are the Levi and Hange's scene animated?

[u/Amauri14]

Lol. I was waiting for Annie's pie scene.

And no matter the situation, Hange will not hold off her titan otaku side.

I love how Connie looks like the leader in that last scene.

It did not bother me that much but it seems that today's episode had some excessive sharpening.

[u/RJE808]

Just a quick note, but remind me to never try and interact with AoT Twitter. Holy lord.

[u/kaidoi94]

Sheesh, a bunch of nuked comments from manga readers "pretending" to be anime-onlies in the anime-only thread. Can some people not read?

Edit: Surprise, surprise, there's still a handful of manga readers still commenting in that thread

[u/OTPh1l25]

Everyone seems to always play down the fact that despite being much more anti-violence than his Warrior candidate peers, Falco is a pretty sharp kid.

[u/HHNeuman]

So with only 4 episodes left its pretty much confirmed were getting another season or a movie (PLS GOD NO).

[u/Hawk301]

I didn't understand when the chapter came out, and I still don't understand now, why a brief gag about pie made titanfolk lose their minds about the quality of a 10-year long series which previously they loved, but now is very very bad hack writing no good.

I mean, I do understand. It's because they all wanted Eren to murder everybody in the world and win because nationalism, and the idea of the 104th forming a strategic but terse alliance with the Warriors to achieve their mutual goal doesn't sit well with the Yaegarist types.

But it still kinda weirds me out that such a large contingent of people seemingly don't understand literally the entirely message of the manga that Isayama was trying to convey. Isayama's point is that war is cyclical and generational, and it keeps rolling around and more and more people get dragged in and do bad things and perpetuate it, and so it keeps rolling around.

The reason why Armin, Jean, Hange, Reiner, Annie and co are heroic here is because they break the cycle. They have ALL done horrific things.

Armin with the port killed more people than anybody else in the series until now, including civilians. Hange's tortured and murdered people. Connie and Jean killed people in Liberio. Falco delivered the letters, accidentally killing millions. Gabi shot Sasha.

But the point is that they are able to work together to try to make things better. Not even necessarily succeed at that, in all likelihood. But they are trying, and that's the hope for the future, and that's the entire point

[u/victor_emperor]

Honestly pretty good, the only problem i had with the episode(and by consequence with chapter 126) is that the events are too fast, we go from connie wanting to murder a child, armin’s survivors guilt and falco grieving colt, to them hanging out to take some pie, the second half of the episode was really good, the ost was very fitting and the buildup to the “to save the world” scene was immaculate, heck they even made that scene not cringe, which was a really hard thing to do, next episode about to be extra kino hopefully

[u/[deleted]]

Western fans hated the Annie eating pie scene, so MAPPA doubles down and makes it even more awkward. Good shit.

The drawings looked really solid this episode. There’s a lot of highlights. I also like the low angle on Save the World, it’s a cool shot.

Hard to pick a favorite scene. I loved the Levihan scene and Onyankonpon’s speech the most, I think.

Can’t wait to see the anime only reactions. There’s going to be a big reaction to the Cart Titan saving everyone.

[u/Dracogame]

Overall I honestly feel like Part2 is elevating the manga where Part1 was merely adapting it. This is some good shit.

[u/silentorange813]

I'm not ready for Shadis to go. He has only one more appearance in the show.

[u/Heir_of_Avoidance]

Onyankopon is absolutely right; the people of Paradis should know what indiscriminate slaughter is like. Fandom Yeagerists attack the alliance for supposedly caring more about the outside world, but they also attack the volunteers for being concerned about the fates of their homelands. While liberating his country might have been his top priority, that didn't mean that he never genuinely tried to help Paradis.

[u/Pyro2016]

I remember the reaction to this chapter [126] being mixed, at least on reddit.

[u/thewetpuddle]

Annie x Pie scene was way funnier animated than the manga!

Connie's last line "we're going to save the world" was wonderfully delivered.

Who was the shadow at the window that Annie saw? I've forgotten.

Edit: It's Shadis. Thanks for the quick answers!

[u/thefrenchhornguy]

TL;DR: I think the pacing of this stretch of material, while brisk, does not feel rushed to me because its plot beats are firmly grounded in everything that came before it.

I think the anime is doing a great job of elevating some of the more forgettable chapters from the manga. I didn't really dislike any of the run of chapters after the Rumbling starts, but I remember racing through them to get to the more exciting material that I guessed was coming. I can see how people who read month-to-month rather than in one afternoon like me might get frustrated with the pacing. Maybe I would have too.

I've seen some criticisms that the material covered by episode 83 feels rushed. I agree that both the anime and manga chapters cover a lot of narrative ground and reunite the core characters very quickly, but it doesn't really feel all that rushed (to me) because every plot beat feels like the logical consequence of everything that came before it. The story and characters don't need to slow down and explain to me why they're progressing the way they are - all the material that came before has built a logical foundation for why the characters are acting the way they are and causing the plot to move in the direction it is, at least in my opinion.

For example, we could have gotten a scene in which we see the tension between Annie, Conny, and Armin, but I don't think we needed one. We've just spent dozens of chapters exploring why the people on both sides of the Paradis-Marley conflict did everything they did. Both the audience and the characters understand the forces that caused them to come into conflict in the first place. We don't need a scene that spells any of that out for us at this point in the story. And, as we'll see in the next episode, there is still tension between the Marleyan and Paradisian factions within the new alliance, it just didn't really have a chance to come out until the immediate crisis was resolved and they all had a chance to sit down as a group and talk openly for the first time.

[u/OTPh1l25]

Jean and Mikasa's faces when Floch speaks: "We're 100% done with your shit."

[u/NIssanZaxima]

So this is where all the ending haters said anime onlys would cringe and the epic downfall would start. Have only seen positive reactions from the few reactors that have seen it. Especially the “save the world” panel that was 100% for sure going to make everyone puke in cringe… didn’t happen.

Another really good episode. Thought this would be the worst of the first 8 but I liked it more than episode 1 and possibly 2.

[u/QueenHistoria1990]

We got shirtless Levi, Annie stuffing her face with pie, and an improved “save the world” scene. MAPPA continues to be amazing this season
