| The episode was HYPE. Loved the fighting and all that shit, looked better this time around imo too. Both the OP and ED slapped too and I would imagine those same feels would carry onto what is going to be left with this series. I am looking so very forward to how this will play out fr, we are in some real shit. Hype image btw:  |

| Oh boy... it's finally back and where we left it off. And, just like thousands of fans, I'm excited as well. The OP is fire and the visuals are really good. Also, the animation for this part has been improved a lot especially the CGI has gotten a lot better. I'm really glad about the result. Even the fights were looking amazing. Poor Eren was targeted from so many sides and it's not looking good for him. The ED is really beautiful as well along with visuals. Loved the first episode and the overall first impressions of the second part. Great job, MAPPA. |
 |
| lol im not a fan of the rock metal song of the OP yet but the visuals are cool we got to see how the 3D colossal titans of MAPPA looks like at last, at first i thought they are hand drawn 2D animated but nah they have stiff mechanical look and movement plus choppy frame rate i like the sound of ED song more its nice to see how the Attack Titan uses the War Hammer Titan powers too  |

| damn the first episode of final season part 2 was really something and the wait is over! The OP was fucking fantasticccc, both the song and the animation. Marley weapons was superb, Eren vs reiner was great. didn't mind the CG though, it was still great and eren's scream really brings the hype at the ending. what a cliffhanger official upload of the OP |

| Solid episode. The CGI was amazing. But the amount of spoilers in the OP and the insane foreshadowing in the ED is a little concerning. |
| God damn, this episode hit the ground running and didn't stop for a second. Action all around and people getting clapped left and right. The CGI for the Titans looked WAYYYYYYYY better compared to last season, that's definitely one of the main highlights of the episode that deserves praise. Hell, the animation in general looked cleaner. The OP doesn't seem too bad but I might need to give it a few more listens to really see if I like it or not. The ED is nice though. Season is off to a strong start so far. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| meh... just meh... the art is slightly better but the CGI is still awful... also, this yellow filter they put over everything is annoying. At least they gave Eren green eyes this time. And the music is still decent, despite them not using Hiroyuki Sawano But honestly, for the first 3 seasons the anime was the best way to experience AOT. I thought maybe Mappa would change something for the second part, but now I think I'm just gonna read the manga because that gave me more enjoyment than watching this. |

| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| It's back, back after a year which doesn't felt like a year though. The first of those ultra hyped shows this year and it definitely didn't disappoint, all those splendid visuals throughout starting with Levi being shown in dire condition to a strange titan saving up Zeke and damn he's up and alive now. Eren against Reiner for don't know which time around with all that blood, all that gore. Damn its a 5/5 start. Also that ED, they are spoiling though. |
 |
| Holy shit, that OP song is fire. So many characters from this arc featured. Great to see Eren back and kicking some ass by fighting both Porco and Reiner. Looks like Gabi, Pieck, and the Marleyans are also making their move. I think they really went all out by making a very strong impression of the this episode. The emotional and high stakes has reached to this level. Great to see Armin back too with his voice of reason. What a way to start off this season tbh. So excited for the next episodes! Episode illustration looks amazing  |

| Damn, this is some start! Sadly, I missed out on the first 3-4 minutes but it seems like it was just the recap and Op, so I can live with that. Edit: So it wasn't a recap after all, that's good. Levi's in terrible condition but at least appears to be alive considering the actions of Hange-san. Little girl saving Zeke because of the Paths, it's about time we get started on the real story. Transition from Zeke's stern look to Eren's moments at the start of the Op turned out to be cooler than I imagined it'd be. Op visuals are seriously out of this world, so many cool shots! A lot of people spoiled the track for themselves but I'm glad I didn't because the blend of the two, visuals and song, was perfection. And the ED, big tease, let's just put it that way. Song-wise, it's pretty nice imo. Parallel to S1 2nd cour's ED and kind of feels like an extension to S3P2's ED to me. Yikes, things are really not going well for Paradis fighters. Lots of bloodshed already and we haven't even gotten to the meat of the arc yet. Strap your belts, anime-onlies, because this arc ain't slowin' down for no one. Seems like CGI use will be prominent this time too but I kind of acclimatised to it in Part 1 so I can live with it. On second watch even, it didn't bother me too much. Blood gushing out of Eren's head, I wonder why even that was 3D for a bit, that stood out to me. Mikasa and co. finally out of the cells now, and distress in the air. Armin's levelheadedness deserves respect, seriously. Not trying to belittle Conny by any means though. Op: ED: Thanks @deg. |

| yeah eren vs reiner meanwhile levi😶😶 |
 |
| Yeah animation looks improved. CGI looked great for the most part. The OP is probably my new favorite lol. The ED is good too. They really are doing some slow pacing here, personally I loved it. |
| What really happened at the forest back in S2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrqZ80FvQDQ |
| Every thing was peak. OP and ED are beautiful to look at. The animation and Eren's scream were genuinely otherworldly. Zeke's return. OST were on point and it does seem like they r going for slow pacing. Good thing Ig |
    ═════════════════════════════ You're going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road. It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it? I'm sure you'll overcome this. You'll walk again... soon. ═════════════════════════════  |
| Finally the long wait is gone and my Monday gonna be better. Another new style OP really fits the rumble theme definitely gonna make me get hooked. Eren going out like a GOAT against Reiner was probably my favourite part, epic clash with vivid animation. MAPPA for the win, also Mikasa depressed af makes me sad. 5/5 |
| Yeah... Here we go! Everything looks good to me. Great start. :) |
 |
| What a wonderful episode! The opening should be avoided by anime-onlies, but damn what a banger, and the ending is something everyone should enjoy wholeheartedly, so beautiful but sad at the same time! As for the episode itself, the CG looks so visually improved, and the strong direction is evident. Really, the improved schedule makes so much of a difference. The closeups all look detailed, (peep the numerous 2d titans), the expressions look so good as expected of Manabu Akita. The pacing seems to confirm this season will end around chapter 131. A few notable images from the ED:  Mod Edit: Added image tags; only one screenshot per post please. |

| I was so hyped because SnK is my most favorite anime and I love it to death... I read manga all the way to the end so I was really curious about how they will work it out. And it seems amazing so far! It seems the pacing is rather slow but it doesn't matter, because we get more good shots and scenes. I like all the fighting scenes, they are really good and lot of blood in this episode. Also Mikasa is now ready to help Eren! I can't wait for the next episode which will be probably with one of my most favorite moment from the manga! And omg, the OP and especially ED (I cried a little :D), I can't! Ladies and getlemen, Attack on Titan is finally back!! |
 |
| @_MushiRock11_ you listed the wrong OP let me see The Rumbling again |
| The visuals of the opening looked decent I noticed that they added cgi camera angles but the episode overall was ok. It kinda felt short ngl, riener's titan looked ugly when it was stabbing eren lol, it looked like something out of berserk 2016. but overall the episode was alright I didn't think it's the best. |
| op = decent song, average at best visuals, filled with manga spoilers. ed = scarf turn into dove crying. The episode was okay to me, nothing major. The CGI was mostly fine but there were still some shots that weren't too good such as a few 3DMG moments just like in S4P1 and a wonky sequence of the jaw titan jumping backwards. The character designs didn't change as much inbetween scenes like in S4P1 but the art was still just average to me. The scene in jail also dragged quite a bit. |

| Will need to re-watch with subs, but the visuals look very good. They already look like an improvement over S4P1. No censorship either which is great. The ED might be one of my favourites already. Took me a few listens, but the OP is starting to grow on me. I'll vote later when the official subs are released, and I've re-watched. |
| The OP has some nice visuals and the song itself is pretty good. Still like the first one more more.. A great way to begin the first episode. Enemy attack has begun and Eren will be fighting Reiner. Everyone's finally making a move. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| It should be obvious by now that Japan clearly doesn't give a shit about spoilers, why do you think they pack OPs and EDs full of them lol. |

| Damn, the ED is really sad when you understand the imagery and symbols. |
| Had some minor issues but overall really solid. I dislike the spoilers in the OP tho, ruins the build up the manga readers had ngl |

| AOT greatest anime in this planet is back. 🛐 |
| OP was good but expected some eye orgasmic visuals never mind . ED amazing EP as usual 10/10 CGI With 2d in between. Character design improved, Damn impressive camera movements and close cut shots. Explosions absolute top notch ODM gears moments didn’t last for few minutes kinda disappointed but atleast they showed some reflex movements which ain’t got in th PT 1 . Well done mappa that’s all I can say . |
 |
| Fire. The episode was amazing. 5/5. I already want to watch the next episode. The wait is going to be difficult. OP is great and the ED is already my favourite AoT ED. |

| what an episode holy shit. got me sitting at the edge of my seat the whole time. shits about to go down. the op looks edgy af but its still a banger with some really cool shots. the ed looks absolutely beautiful. so nice to have aot sundays again :> |
 |
Red said: Damn, the ED is really sad when you understand the imagery and symbols. Yeah, I know right. And the Op is just pure epicness. I love the contrast between the two. |

| AoT keeps delivering on the action. Great start as usual. New Theme songs are both dope, but for now I prefer the ending. Not just for the pretty melancholic visuals, the opening song isn't my cup of music. |
