EP. REVIEW: Attack on Titan

Well this is the second time they've included information from thirty plus chapters ahead.

For one hope this does not indicate there will be another long gap between cours.

Quote:

Her willingness to bargain Eren's fate back and forth like a poker chip proves that the well-being of her other comrades absolutely comes second to reuniting with Christa.

Precisely why I still don't like Ymir.

...seeing the series take another break right when it's reached its peak is going to be bittersweet indeed.

that have to be some kind of psuedo filler episode cause the manga haven't even once delved into ymir's past. their still in the progress of the yagers's dark history which is to say a serious doozy.

Although I wonder how favorable the next story arc will be for folks since-If they take another long break and return with that, it would almost feel like we were watching a different show altogether. I wish they had just gone right into that part with this season instead of having only 12 episodes.

I gotta say I thoroughly enjoyed reading your reviews every week, James. Are you planning on reading the manga once the season ends, or are you just gonna wait for the next season to come out?

Thanks! They've been a blast to write!

And I probably won't read the manga. If I'm fortunate enough to be able to write about a third season of AoT, I'd want to preserve the suspense.

In that moment, Bertholdt realizes that he broke the rules of their bond as comrades, and the consequences will be unfathomable.

he does realize that there are should be 14 more eps left of this season, right??? unless their only doing a 12 ep series instead of a 25 episodes on season one that is.

that become more of an understatement in vols 19 and 20 according to some people. they should have given armin's negotiations more thought instead of blindingly follow the individual who is giving them these orders (which i have a nasty suspicion its that beast titan or even grisha.)

This was a great penultimate episode. Reminded me of the GoT episode Battle of the Bastards. Too bad we're only getting 12 episodes this season. Hopefully, they'll just be taking a few months or a year off before season 3. I can't imagine it'll take them 3-4 more years just to produce another 12 episodes.

I think this episode broke something in me. Attack on Titan has always been ridiculous and over-the-top, but I've usually been able to see it rather seriously overall, you know be creeped out when appropriate and such. But this episode was so silly and bizarre even for me (I actually laughed out loud in a few parts) that I don't think I will be able to really see these characters in the same way again. It was super entertaining, mind you. But this show has pretty much lost any ability to make me take it seriously ever again. Anyway, great episode.
