 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
| I really hated the CGI animation of Season 4 Part 1. But the writing and animation of Part 2, especially this episode, bought me on board. This was an epic episode, watching it after episode 10 of Demon Slayer I got 1h of best quality anime. Hajime Isayama it's an incredible writer and Mappa did a brilliant job adapting it. In December 2020 I wouldn't have thought I would praise Mappa for Attack on Titan, but they have improved a lot this season. |

| From You, 2000 Years Ago...I am finally here to end your suffering. The series has finally hit its peak, the resounding climax to an arduous yet astounding buildup, turning it from a very good story to a masterpiece, oh what a joy. To think that Eren, screaming like his old self for one last time embraces Ymir as she finally snaps (her face also has been revealed, which is very nice). Though realizing that all except her fellowmen will suffer, she is still bounded to her Subjects, and her not letting Zeke's euthanization plan and the Allied Forces ruin all her ETERNALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SUFFERINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG on building up the Titans, there is only one way for the Eldians to truly survive....the answer was right there, how come we've realized it now that all hell's loose. Hence folks, we're now here, the 2000 years of narrative and buildup left us to this. Guys can't we all agree that we're excited for next week, cos it's sure gonna be a RUMBLING & BLOODY VALENTINE. |

| Yamir past was tragic I don't understand why didn't she crushed the king instead of choosing to be his slave? Eren speech was amazing time to show the world what Eldians are made of. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| The rumbling actually looks amazing contradictory to all MAPPA haters. Where are you guys? |

| AND IT BEGINNSSSSSSS!!! can't wait for the alliance |
  |
| This episode was insane. Ymir's backstory with the King was crazy, imagine making your daughters eat their mother, that is mad. Eren's character development is really good, can't wait to see what happens in future episodes. |
| p[issing and shitting from excitement |
| This episode got me so freaking speechless it was that damn good!! Its INSANE!!!! Everything was so perfect about this episode and how this was done! The rumbling has finally been started and it was done perfectly! I was shaking in my seat to finally see how some of the best chapters finally get animated! I cannot wait for more of the future episodes cause it truly outstanding the way they do each episode! Truly cannot be more pleased with this episode and the chapters have been done well! Perfect 10/10 episode! Can't wait till next week! |

| Masterpiece of an episode, nothing else to say |
| fuck me that was a well done episode. OST was on point and va's yet again did a fantastic job, animation wasn't too bad either fwiw. though that part with mikasa not hearing armin was kinda odd given how almost right after he calls her with an even lesser volume (and also looking away) and she right away responds :P |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Colossal Titans were looking good this episode and the doomsday atmosphere was on point. I'm optimistic that the upcoming terror will be portrayed magnificently. So yeah, a great adaptation overall. But eff Eren. His attitude, the manipulation and the Rumbling left a bad taste. I will still try to go into the rest of the anime open minded. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
Makes way more sense in the way it's framed later on. This is probably going to get deleted anyway because it's not the right thread, but to enter in less spoilers than I possibly can: |

| ooof, it's my first discussion.. and WHAT THE ACTUAL F* WAS THIS EPISODE.. I had a cup of coffee before this and it didn't wake me up. But after this episode, I got very energetic and excited.. Also this episode felt very short xp . . I kindof expected Ymir not to answer Zeke, and turn to Eren.. but didn't expect Eren to be the one to follow her to insure her that she should be Free while Zeke in the background saying no shit I am a royal blood xpppppppp Anyways all in all, great episode, can't wait to see how things go on from here on!!! cx |

| If you win, you live, if you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win. |
| Aaaaaand it's here, the long-awaited(or not lol) RUMBLINGGGGGG!! Gotta say this was the most hyped and saddest episode for me yet, in the overall expanded all revealed snk world of course, but still like the level of sadness-anger-grief experienced while Ymir's backstory and then the EPIC crossover to Eren getting all long centipede skeleton-like and activating the fking rumbling with all of Ymir's pent up frustration getting addressed felt incredibly relieving only to realize this mf is but of course planning on purging the entirety of the world outside the walls ;-; like bruh but I kinda maybe a tiny bit get it and alongside that invite in the willy nilly free wandering titans outside the walls to go ahead & have their fair share off ppl food *cue tears* and there comes again the realization that what has happened is irreversible and all those innocent children we started this journey with are pretty much doomed. p.s. Zeke getting facepalmed was oddly awfully satisfying lmao and that got me to missing Levi & Hange so here's to hoping they show up soon real soon and somehow save the day, well at least the best they can in this awful(?) situation (>-<)/* Oof that was long but short and sweetly, it was an incredible episode in every aspect of the word, Isayama is hats-off an awfully good magaka and all the incredible VAs as well as MAPPA serveddddd, yes they did, with the literal most engrossing storytelling and bgm, it was EPIC and I'm here for it alllll!! |

| Holy sht that was so good, though I was kind of disappointed at Eren's speech at the end, but I really enjoyed the rest. 5/5 |
evoniee said: village burn to ash, turned into a slave, almost died like an animal, being a c** dump and breeding stock -> must be love. go it fam. Ymir was in love with the King Fritz. Anyone could tell it from this episode. |
| Poor Ymir :( I'm glad Eren got at least through to her ! And oh man, the rumbling has started ! It's about to get series ! |
| Can anyone explain without spoiling too much why Eren was able to Talk no Jutsu Ymir even tho she's supposed to answer royal blood beck and call.Seems like an inconsistency. Other than that great EP, Yuki Kaji might be one of my favourite Japanese VAs. Ymir's backstory had that eery dark Vikings vibe to it and I loved it and the Rumbling gave me goosebumps. From ep 81s preview it seems like this would harm more people than Eren intended and kill a lot of Eldians within and outside the walls. Wierd hole in Eren's logic but aight |
 |
| Ymir's predisposition is pretty much explained by Frieda in the beginning of the flashback. "She's a kind girl who's always thinking of others" "Because this world is full of pain and suffering... You should because someone everybody loves" Ymir's nature was a extreme and twisted version of that. Or rather, the Frieda's interpretation of the girl in the book is a prettified and romanticized assumption of what Ymir really represented. Someone who never made decisions for herself or for her own sake, always sacrificed herself for others and only knew to live by wholly giving herself up body and soul to a authority, even after gaining unimaginable power. It's not that she couldn't resist, it was neither in her nature NOR in her nurture to resist. A slave in every way. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
The chapter with the Turkish guy that's coming in about 8-9 chapters is literally my favourite of them all |
| This was such a heavy episode, We finally got to see Ymir's backstory. Poor Ymir, She's been suffering all alone for eternity. We finally saw how the whole Titan power began but what exactly was that spine-like parasite thingy, An alien or God? Maybe we'll know or never know. Top tier episode as usual! |

ComplexRex said: Can anyone explain without spoiling too much why Eren was able to Talk no Jutsu Ymir even tho she's supposed to answer royal blood beck and call.Seems like an inconsistency. Because there was nothing forcing her to obey. Obeying the royal blood was always a choice, a choice she always made due to her slave mentality. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| HOLY SHIT! MAPPA did it! What an amazing episode. So much to love about it, I loved the color of the Ymir flashbacks, perfect by MAPPA. And obviously the rumbling. Shout out to Yuki Kaji for the amazing voice acting, wow I got chills… |
| MAPPA goated once again, thank you for your service kings! Yuki Kaji's voice acting was insane once again. I loved this episode and all the original frames added to it. THe rumbling's impact was much more intense than the manga, due to the direction, animation and OST. I really loved it and the sense of terror it evoked. Not a fan of them skipping........ 123 before that last bit but whatever, I guess they'll add it later. Eren's titan's face was as furious and hateful as in the manga, we love to see it. I kinda imagined Eren to be yelling in an imposing way rather than that calm monologue we got, but it was still impressive. Last kino ep for a while, to me at least. I'm gonna be following it still but with mild interest until we get to my faves 130/131 |
| As much as I disliked the last fifth of the manga, MAPPA is doing a good job adapting this. Solid music, art, voice acting. Eren's VA nailed it once more. Seeing the start of the rumbling was quite a sight. And Gabi's expression of defeat/failure gave me the warmest feelings of schadenfreude attainable. |

| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Now that's more like it! I was appaled by euthanization plan. But killing everyone standing in your way? Much better. Tho I seriously doubt Eren wins. It just never seemed like that kind of story. |
| This is it. We're in peak fiction now boys. |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| Every week for the past month I watch the new AOT episode and say to myself "This is the best thing I've ever watched", and the very next week, they somehow manage to top themselves each time. This episode was amazing in every way possible, the backstory, the OST, the VA, just everything was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to see how they outdo themselves again next week, it seems impossible but they somehow keep managing to do it. |
| Epic... We Just Witnessed A Masterpiece. |
| mappa did it justice. Wow. Everything was absolutely beautiful. From the direction, animation, detailed art to the use of color and music... let's not forget the incredible voice acting. Thank you to all the staff that was involved. Epic job. |
| Just wanted to tell everyone to not listen to posts here and there talking about how it's all downhill from here. It's not, just watch the show and form your own opinions. Do not let yourself be recruited into the cult that is manga-ending haters. |
 |
| I rarely get chills watching stuff but seeing the beginning of the rumbling animated definitely gave me them. It's just going to get better and better from here. The music had me so hyped along with the visuals. I don't know what else to say apart from the fact that I loved every second of this episode, and the parallel of the title in this episode to the title from the very first episode is so fucking good. It's gonna be hard waiting for next Sunday. |
