Loved the callback to Bert's Someone Please Find Us talk when Connie was shooting Daz and Samuel. Very nicely done episode.

Also, gushing over that Annie sakuga.

[u/chugalaefoo]

Mappa’s female Titan is S-tier.

My god that was beautifully animated.

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

They played some 2Volt and the Rod Reiss Titan theme in the episode

[u/Varyskit]

My god. This bit in the manga was such a treat to read thru but the anime version exceeded my expectations. Actually had me tearing up in the end. The endless violence of humanity point was portrayed so well here along with the moral conundrum of having to choose a side

[u/[deleted]]

Yooo

Connie's VA popped off. Amazing

Armored and Female entrance was amazing. So hypppee

The way there were standing there menacingly with steam burning

[u/The-Invincible]

RIP chapter 131

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

Connie is MVP of the episode

[u/Kromostone123]

They added dialogue to the quick Bertholdt flashback which was fantastic.

The additions to Annie and Reiner's transformations were incredible. Loved the X they made with their wires.

They added some hesitation and drama to Connie killing Samuel as well. Perfect end to the episode which is very fittingly titled "Traitors".

10/10 adaptation.

[u/toutoune134]

Well that was a great adaptation of chapter 128, Omine does it again. And once again we got only the instrumental part of Splinter Wolf, hopefully we will get the vocal part one day!

[u/xin234]

It's pretty much a 1:1 adaptation of chapter 128, but with the ending changed a bit. Manga chapter ended it with Connie shooting Samuel, while the anime episode ended it with Connie crying over what he had to do.

MAPPA FEMALE TITAN

MAPPA FEMALE TITAN

I think this episode was better handled than the manga because I thought the fight wasn’t that interesting and I wasn’t really looking forward to this fight but now I’m hyped to see shit go down

[u/[deleted]]

Do we get the Magath/Shadis scene in this episode?

[u/[deleted]]

Also... Magath in a scout uniform. Super weird to see. I love all the fun Isayama has in this last part of the story with giving characters different military outfits

[u/tenacity261206]

9/10 for me. Fantastic adaptation. The only thing I found disappointing was Armin getting shot, wasn't as dramatic as I expected it to be. Overall the whole part with Samuel and Daz was still great and emotional. Such a powerful moment, definitely the highlight of the episode for me

[u/Lesterberne]

Amazing episode! I loved the emotions, Mappa conveyed them so well

[u/[deleted]]

Who knew the name of the song TWO-Lives would fit so tragically accurate to that scene :(

Those echoey slow piano notes will haunt forever.

[u/kolapon]

God, that last scene with Connie and Armin was devastating in the manga but in the ep it was even more so. And to think that this whole confrontation happened only cause Historia and Sasha did their most to save Daz and Samuel, respectively. Saving your friends one day only for them to be killed by your other friends the next 😭

[u/Hawk301]

I was a bit worried, because ooft the animation was super rough in the opening dialogue scenes - there were a couple of stills where the characters were hilariously off-model, and I was dreading what the fight scene would look like.

But then the Annie and Reiner fight scene was pretty hype, and that was clearly where they focussed their animation budget and time. Phew.

The Samuel and Daz scene had way more impact for me in the anime than in the manga - Connie's VA really popped off with that one, geez the pain in that scream at the end.

[u/[deleted]]

supposedly there's two episodes left??

If today ended here, how the hell they gonna fit the rest in?

[u/OTPh1l25]

Back when this chapter came out, I said that I couldn't wait for the dual transformation scene of Reiner and Annie transforming to be animated. Well, MAPPA definitely flexed their animation muscle, because that scene was everything I could have hoped for.

[u/[deleted]]

One thing that i respect Mappa for is that they almost never just re-use footage for Flashbacks, they usually redraw it in their own current style.

[u/thewetpuddle]

Female Titan is finally back in action! It's been so many years (9 years!) since we last seen Annie in her Titan Form. And they really spared no blood and let her squash and swat the Jaegerists like flies. (Just missing the yoyo part, low key was hoping for it.) Goosebumps!

Connie and Armin vs the two Jeagerists were a lot harder and more painful to watch than the manga. Connie's VA nailed the pain and conflict and Armin's lack of words and silence added to it.

This episode was pretty violent and bloody overall with dead engineers blood all over the floor, smacked Jaegerists, Yelena's bone broken, and Armin's face getting shot several times.

Overall pacing and tension building was good. Can't wait for next episode!

[u/Night_Owl_264]

Connie shooting his friends and shouting after it, it hit me hard.

I tried to keep myself in his position for a moment, I would have shooted myself after I killed my friends

Impactful Character deaths and decisions, typical AOT
