| The OP is hitting 'on all cylinders The whole episode was well animated and directed The ED was near perfect choice too Great start to an anime which is going towards one of the biggest debates seen in media history concerning its ending but I'm all up for it |
 |
| So the OP and ED prove that this will adapt the final chapter. Too much CGI action for a first episode. Skimmed it through. |

MeganeKun_ said: I'm i weird for watching it raw on the stream and understanding without subs? Welcome to the club. I usually watch it raw, and then subbed later on. |
| This opening is worst ever with weird visual and some sound generic screaming madness cringe. Expect more epic song from Linked Horizon but MAPPA say nope and bring some trashiest quality. But the ending theme is pretty good, not better than "Shock" but it still solid and beautiful song with cool visual. So far this episode is 3/5. |
| Words can not express how hyped I am right now |
| animation got me real speechless especially reiner & eren's fighting scene damn like you can clearly tell that it improved a lot! ngl I kind of don't like the op that much but since it's still the first episode, maybe I'll finally get the hype after 3 eps ig lmao  |

| started with a banger episode. |
| burn the witch |
| I enjoyed the episode not a fan of the season 1 slow pacing though. |
| Fucking RAWS is a pain in the ass but don’t care anymore, I just need SUBS to understand the whole damn thing. Finally one year and it’s finally back!!! Damn the OP is the uncanny version of Red Swan with a tense metal to it but visually it’s quite spoiler and foreshadowing ish which I don’t necessarily mind since everything comes to how the story progresses in this first episode of the 2nd cour! Holy they really have to put Levi's near death in the beginning which initially would be a nice cliffhanger for the 1st cour :( Now we get a sequel to what’s happening next when Pieck lies about some shit relating to some enemy location and we get to see the cool transformation after all. This episode is already badass because we get to we witness the Reiner & Porco Vs Eren where all the inherited into their respective titans and also = epic fight choreography + Pieck’s hand getting chopped up is fucking hilarious. Reiner’s entrance though after Eren just left refusing to what Yelena has stated is quite badass tbh and now this is what we’ve been waiting for, another Reiner vs Eren, who doesn’t love a nostalgic titan fight :) Well shit Gabi got Magath worried as per usual it’s her own accountability but the natural response was pretty clear from a perspective point. I wonder how Zeke's fluid affected other scouts alongside Falco. I just noticed Eren’s new ability to make those spike loads which I find so cool that he pulled it off for the 2nd try. Not gonna lie since the Cart Titan appears, the war has become hectic at times. Eren really has his own specialty and doesn’t wanna lose against the other but his own titan body is too competent and strong! And I’m fucking glad out of all people who are releasing the scouts, it’s the chad of all Onyankopon who ain’t traitors but forming a bond with the bond although Connie’s enragement makes a lot of sense now that he’s against Eren’s own charm to save humanity but causing a wider conflict ahead so he had to almost physically hurt Onyankopon. Mikasa feeling hurt by Eren's words makes me feel dreaded to see this scene getting animated. ED is so meaningful and a lot of foreshadowing too. Animation wise was a lot better than the 1st cour and it's lot more consistent in movement. Looking forward to the sequel of Eren vs Reiner fighting. |
| I love my rock/metal songs but didn't really feel this AoT opening one from the get-go, that one may need some time to get adjusted to or at least a few relistens. Animation still doesn't look that great for me but some steps for improvement are there from the previous part at least I guess, like with the camera movements in particular to enhance the action scenes even more. Overall, the episode definitely was an action-packed to start off the new part but I was pretty bored overall by it except the action scenes, which while explosive, weren't great tbh. ED was fine too, nice imagery there. |
| Amazing OP and ED. This episode quality wise compared to the first part is insane, had quite a bit of difficulty telling the differance between CG and drawn stuff this time around. I do feel a bit blue-balled since I wanted more to happen, but I guess that's what you get with 24 min. Overall the episode was amazing, gonna be extremely difficult to wait another week for a episode. |
| Can't wait for the next episode, the op gave me Death note op2 vibe, and the ed is so beautiful. |
 |
| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH holy fucking shit I'm so hyped that OP and ED were incredible also fuck the Mikasa OVA for spoiling the ending of the manga |
 |
| What a Sunday!!! First we had the crazy ep of demon slayer and now the return of AOT.. Sundays cant get any better The CGI looking better here in P2 than P1 and I would also like to point out that they are slowly adapting the manga... And also a side note about the manga |
| READ THE BEGINNING AFTER THE END. Seriously, it is an S-tier manwha and should be added to mal in the future. |
| Despite the lackluster ending , this will still be the best season unless they split this again for a movie lmao OP song was nice though, and ED visuals spoiled the |

| Damn this episode was amazing and we already have a really good start to the season like always. The opening and ending visuals and song are perfect and I love it so much, they are both stuck in my head, and I don't think I will get over how beautiful the ending visuals were. Overall everything was really good about todays episode and surely can't wait till next week to see how they will adapt it! 5/5 episode |

|
| One of my fav anime is back :D The ost's, opening and ending all had me in chills throughout it. Always love the great action in aot! Hope it's gonna be good! |
| Amazing start but Levi tho; eh he will still somehow come back alive. Titan fights were way better than the last season. TITAN BOXING MATCH - Eren VS Reiner GOO!! The OP and ED were fine but I can't yet say that I loved them(yet). Easy 5/5. |
 |
| super impressed with the episode, so glad to have aot back again!! i have mixed feelings about the OP but im sure it will grow on me, the second half of it is better than the first imo. the visuals were impressive, MAPPA have really improved the use of CGI and the titains just look much cleaner so im very happy to see that!! the ED was amazing i really loved it! seeing eren wearing mikasa's scarf was quite sad and sweet at the same time. really looking forward to next week's episode, its great to have AOT sundays back!! |
 |
| Ahh It's finally here let's goooo lol A banger first episode of the season full of hype and plot twists. Really enjoyed the op and ed after listening like 4 times because the op didn't really hit hard the first time. But a really awesome op and ed, visuals included. Oh and I liked the animation and how this episode was directed. Also, very gory but that's AoT so what do you expect? xd Really like the scene in the opening where Eren is roaring lol. It depicts exactly how I see Eren if he went nuts I'm hyped for next week! |

| I don't know why but I thought Eren screaming in the end was hilarious. I really hope Mikasa and Armin are heavily involved from here on out. They are my two favorites. Also I think its funny how I'm basically rooting for Marley now. |
| Well, that does not feel like 24 minutes. I want moreeee! You could tell that the CGI improved, though there are still parts where it looks kind of meh. But still, the animation looks solid. Personally, I like the opening. I think it fits the vibe this season, and holy, that ED was just beautiful. It's probably now my favorite Attack on Titan ending. Overall, a solid episode. I can't wait for the next week. |
| Wow. Just wow. I’m seeing a beautifully crafted and well thought out story being destroyed piece by piece by MAPPA’s horrific production values. I’m probably going to start reading the manga, as there’s no way im going to possibly let this be my first experience to the final part of this show. MAPPA has destroyed everything that this franchise has worked for. I’m extremely and utterly disappointed. |
| Right back into it with the fight scenes, the political conflicts and, personal conflicts. The CGI definitely improved this season. The fight between Reiner and Eren was the highlight of this episode for me. Super excited for this second part! |

| BROOOOOOOOO THIS IS INSANEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! THAT OP IS CRAZY GOOD, holy fuck THAT ZEKE SEQUENCE???? THAT GIRL AGAIN??? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ONNNNNNN Whole episode was so fire. CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE. TY MAPPA!! |
 |
| HOLY SHTT ITS HAPPENING the opening and ESPECIALLY the ending are so so so good, pretty sure this is my favourite ending of the entire show. really strong start already, levi is probably alive but he looked like he was in critical condition and idk if he'll survive tbh i'm also ready to start defending connie with my whole heart, he has every right to act like he's doing also armin carried this episode |

| All I will say is this episode is Zeke's ass/10. Brilliant and clean-looking. His secret ass-wiping technique seems to be doing wonders. |
 |
| THIS IS AMAZING. The leaks about the production value were true after all. Witness kino, still fingers crossed for AOE tho |

| Solid beginning. I hope the animation will remain so great throughout the season. |
| CGI battles and animation look better this season, OP is great personally I liked it more than the ED. Looking forward to the next episodes. Hope everyone enjoy the final whether you liked the manga ending or not! Let’s enjoy the ending of this journey without too much negativity! Hugs! |

Mikasa's dialogue, Levi's interactions with everyone in Season 3 Part 1 and so much more. |

KneelBeforeMe said: I’d like to inform you that my AOT scores haven’t been updated in years, as i am constantly updating my list everyday. My thoughts on WIT’s AOT seasons have probably changed, and i believe i dont think Season 2 is a 10 anymore, so yes, i will acknowledge that the franchise was never perfect in any aspect, but you cant deny the drop dead gorgeous visuals that this show had earlier on. Yes, the CGI early on wasnt all that impressive but it wasnt as ugly as it was in this season. Theres a difference between using CGI as a stylistic choice and then using it as a way to cut corners in your production due to a crunch time schedule. For any logical anime viewers, this is a huge disappointment and a slap to the face to anyone who enjoyed the franchise that came before it. So yes, i would like to repeat myself when i say that AOT is not perfect at all, and i have already started my revisit on the earlier seasons. But this is a joke. Like, this is actually sad.magecrvft said: Can you pass me your rose tinted WIT glasses? They had issues themselves while producing AOT yet you still gave every season a 10/10.
