HyperL said: I'll be honest. I feel like some scenes could've been so much more powerful if this episode wasn't rushed. In particular, the conversation between Eren and Reiner in the flashback. In the manga that convo felt much more meaningful, but here it was more par for the course. Aside from that, I feel like they really skimmed on the animation this episode. The choppiness and lack of frames was really noticeable, save for a couple scenes. And I can't forget how jarring that Armored Titan shot was. Really hope those are fixed in the Blu-rays. Then finally, for Eren's speech at the end, I felt the music could have used a bit more of "something" before the drop, don't know how to explain it properly. Still a enjoyable episode. Really? This episode gave me Wit studio vibes when it comes to stills and static animation when it comes to these type of episode, I think episode 2 was really obvious when it comes to lack of frames and choppiness and those bad scenes when they were using rotoscope. I personally never notice and choppiness at all and I think your casual viewers wont notice anything wrong with this episode like how they notice the bad frames and weird movements of last episode. Personally this episode looked the best so far in terms of art and colour, there wasn't any need for much animation anyways for this episode and it wasn't as ambitious as episode 2, but I rather this approach than the over ambitious approach which didn't really do so well in those scenes. There wasn't any cringe moment in this episode that standout in terms of looking really bad imo. episode 3 > episode 1 > episode 2. I love them all but the rotoscope really did more bad than good for that episode and most persons focus on those few scenes and behave like the entire episode was like that throughout. This week the most complaint I'm expecting to see is the pacing issue from manga readers. |

| In terms of animation, it was good compared with episode 1 and 2. My problem is that they still cuting important scenes. I mean, this episode makes it look like Reiner is the bad guy. Why dont they show Annie/Female Titan calling the titans? Why dont they show Berthold looking at the wall and transforming? Those are very kino moments. But instead they show Kenny??? There should be priorities. Another mess of episode. The directing is terrible. You cant really "feel" the characters. Completely soulless. |

You see Kenny is an ackerman, and he brings up his sister, his sister is Levi's mom, therefore all of the Levifujos willl purchase this BD now and add it to their collection. Now Fappa's cashgrab has made money. That's why that scene was included Funseco said: In terms of animation, it was good compared with episode 1 and 2.

| I will keep moving forward, until the CrappaCAMELS are destroyed... |
| People really be writing wall of texts complaining about certain aspects of the episode when a majority dont care for their opinions. Adding the elementary school vocabulary/insults to boot, cant do anything else but laugh. |
 |
| This episode was so good, based on the preview the next one is gonna be even more hype. Waiting for weekly episodes sure can be hard sometimes. |
| I burst out laughing when they reused the running armored titan scene from WIT and then it cut to a CGI closeup for no reason |
 |
| I don't know.. Seeing Reiner running towards the wall from season 1 and finishing the scene with an obvious CGI armored titan breaks my heart. The episode was great, but the difference between 2D and 3D Reiner is disgusting. |

| fast paced as expected, but not this fast lol. this could have been way better, especially reiner's backstory and warrior's invasion. damn what a shame i must be lying if i say im not disappointed, this is as expected when the whole 16 episodes was confirmed. well at this point i really wish for the future episodes will be much better, especially when the anticipated moments happen aside from the cuts, i like how they keep some titans in 2D and hobo Eren looking great! overall this was a good episode |
 |
| Hm as someone who has read Marley arc multiple times this felt a bit rushed in terms of pacing. Thankfully nothing too important was cut out, even though I really wanted to see some scenes animated like Jean and Eren's fight. The storyboard for Reiner's aborted suicide was very impactful. I'm really happy to see Reiner's past animated. And Eren's speech at the end was amazing, Yuki Kaji excelled once again. I'm soooo hyped for next episode. |
Symofoner said: OMG.. I love this series so much. But the way they handle this episode compared to last 2 episode in term of pacing is downgrade, IMHO. Even me as a manga reader confused. They should've make it slower, understandable and thus make it more relateable. When i read the manga most of reiner back story hit me hard just like the previous episode. The way they handle the music in episode 2 was really good to make us sympathize towards reiner and friends but this episode's music make me like "huhh??". Not to mention scene to scene transition is a mess. I feel like mappa really want AoT to just show its action pack in every episode so they rushed this instead of adapting the story in a good way. Maybe because i'm a manga reader i know a lot of things they didnt adapt and i get upset because of it. Let's just see anime only reaction to this episode. i hope they happy with this. Last minute's eren was HOT AF. God help mappa. please dont butcher this final season. T_T 3/5 for this episode. I'm so tired to say this, its only 16 episodes, so they had to sacrifice the early episodes so the pacing for future episodes will be good. If they were to adapt everything from these chapters then 16 episodes would not be enough to end it at chapter 122. The pacing should be fine from now on, episode 2 and especially 3 had to be a sacrifice, not to mention they still keep the important scenes. I'm just informing you because you are making false assumption that Mappa just want to reach to the action scene, if you were the script writer and you had 16 episode to work with, you would have done the same. |
| Holy moly I could barely breathe during the first half of the episode. It's very clear that they will sacrifice the pacing of this episode for the next 2 ones, and I hope those 2 will deliver at least. Also, finally time for daddy himself to make his glorious appearance!  |

| I thought they would spend more time on Reiner's character as he is essentially the main character of this arc and one of its highlights. Didn't like how quickly scenes came and went one after another, think they should've left more time for audience to dwell on them. Reiner definitely deserved more time in focus. It was reduced to almost bare essentials and I feel much of the impact was lost as the result. It's okay episode overall I guess but I didn't like it nearly as much as I did the first two. |
Reiner_undieable said: So I wonder did anime only really sypathize with reiner after this ep? Honestly if they didn't put that eren scene in this ep it would've been better or atleast cut the op/ed Go at anime reddit shingeki episode 62 discussion post because plenty of people love Reiner now. Lowlex said: Why did They use wit version on 14:16m? and that poorly looking cgi at 14:44m it's bad i enjoy the story though I'm just mentioning things i don't like. im not gonna make a whole comment about everything that i enjoy since this episode is actually pretty good You guys can take a look at it yourself and give me your thoughts about them using wit animation? ( I'm 95% sure that is wit animation at 14:16 ) and about the cgi at 14:44 They reuse the scene because its a flashback, would it make sense to recreate the same scene again when it was already shown in season 1? I do think it was dumb to include that scene at 14:16 they should just continue using Wit scene when he burst through the wall, it just looked Jarring with that switch to cgi. |

| Still boring for me but better than the previous 2 episodes, felt nice seeing some old faces again and the ending was a solid point to finish the episode off. Pacing didn't bother me much unlike some of the comments I'm seeing here personally. I'm getting more and more used to the visual changes and I can say MAPPA are doing fairly decently animation wise, still prefer the colors and designs of WIT's though despite MAPPA showing more direction flair with better usage of camera shots. |
| VERY fast paced episode. Some scenes were more meaningful in the manga. But all in all still a good episode. |
 |
| Another solid 9 out of 10 episode for me. Felt like about 2 minutes. Some fantastic animation in there as well. Great to see Episode 1 of the series from the perspective of "the other side". Reiner was clearly a very broken individual from the start, and the lack of a father figure in his life has clearly had a negative effect on his character. He's been a disturbed individual from a very young age. Kudos to MAPPA on the Reiner art from Paradis. He looks far more menacing an individual than he did in S1. Annie's a psychopath that seemingly delights in seeing other living things in pain. That shot of "the one-legged" man at the end was very chilling before it cut to black. As a manga reader, I understand there were quite a few panels missing, but the important information was covered. It would have been nice to see more between the campfire and invasion of Shinganshina but can understand the time constraints they're under. Excellent work by MAPPA overall this episode. Also noticeable is the use of the Sawano OST when the warriors are on Paradis. Almost as if his OST's are made for Paradis and Kohta's are for what goes on on the other side of the sea. |
| I want to keep watching yet I don’t want it to end. 13 episodes left. A sad countdown. So the injured soldier from last time was indeed Eren, huh... I wonder how they’ve been spending their times for the past few years. Reiner is a very sad character and right now I just want his pain to end. Gotta say, I missed Annie. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| This episode definitely had fast pacing, I could tell even though it's been a long long long time since I read this part in the manga. But I'd rather have the pacing suffer now so that the big moments throughout the rest of the season are done justice, than to have this part be fine and have later parts suffer. |
| 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. |
| The animation wasn't as bad as last week's episode. It felt a bit slow though it was overall good. Nothing too amazing yet but we'll see. |

| Is that not erens voice actor at the end. Im not tripping right |

| They did suicidal Reiner really well and the ending had me excited. It's been a really long time since I've read that part of the manga so I'm looking forward to it. |

StardustReverie said: JuicyDragonCat said: Well Anime onlies: Did Director Hayashi's words hold true? Do you love Reiner after episode 62? Reiner is a little bitch and his life was one billion times easier than eren's. What the fuck is he bitching and all suicidial about? Shit character. Agree! I used to like him, he was Reiner "protect to chibi ones" Braun, but when I find out he traitor and with these parts, I can't like him... now he irritates me even more. |
| Amazing episode, so fucking good. Just that simple. |

Is it really that hard to understand him? |
|
| This was one of my favorite bits of the manga when I got to it. Seeing the early part of the story being seen from Annie, Berthold and specially Rainer's point of view was rather special. A shame they couldn't flesh it out a bit more in this episode. |

Just to let you know manga readers hated these chapters, in the manga what worse is that they were following it monthly, while for you the pacing is faster and you only have to wait a week for new episodes, so you probably would even hate it more if you were following this arc monthly. The good thing here is we haven't even touch on the great parts yet, but next episode is when things will start to set into motion. @Lumiax You see? Anime only are already complaining about the slow pacing even though they are speeding through a lot of content, in anime form things have to be sped up a bit for content wise. I do understand where you are coming from but a adaptation should be its own thing not a copy paste from the manga. |
