VerifiedWhat an epic cliffhanger that is, above and below! Everything is peak! From the plot building, character writing, intensity, sountrack, animation, pacing, anticipation, everything's perfect!

VerifiedThis episode i feels like the breathtaking rooftop graphics are the calm before the storm. The peak moment is Pieck pointing at Eren as Marley's airships appear. i feels the adrenaline surge as the "Above and Below" war starts

VerifiedThe tension in this episode i liked it. The reveal of the Marley army's arrival created an intense surprise, and Pieck's trick against Eren was smart.

VerifiedThe Attack on Titan finale feels more like a warm-up than a real ending. Big storylines are left hanging, and some important characters barely get screen time. It leans into the ideologies of the war over the action, teasing things like Falco, Annie, and Historia.

VerifiedBrutal cliffhanger ending for Part 1. Pieck's fake betrayal is executed perfectly - you genuinely can't tell if she's lying until Porco explodes. Eren stays ice-cold throughout, never falling for it. The Marley airships arriving with Reiner creates an insane parallel to Liberio.

VerifiedThis is a heavy and emotional chapter that focuses more on consequences than pure action. The tension stays high throughout, and the character moments hit just as hard as the visuals. It feels cinematic, intense, and sets the stage perfectly for the final conclusion.

VerifiedThe climax of the season was perfect! The tension while the soldiers were trapped in the jail was so high. I loved the surprise at the very end when the sky filled up with enemies. The music made the moment feel very epic. It left me excited to see what happens in the next part.

VerifiedNo words, This anime should never be skipped. It is pure horror and terror. A lively world of pure anguish and realistic emotions at every corner. My take on this is that It is just too real to be just an 'anime' or a story. well done.

VerifiedWow...
Though I feel it was intentionally unfinished, It is still an epic episode.
If you like an epic cliff-hanger, mahn this episode is for you.
It is plot heavy, and answers a lot of questions enough to keep you oriented. It is fast paced, intense and very much worth watching

VerifiedFrom start to finish, everything was perfectly aligned for this final episode of part 1!! Tension was very high and gives you hunger for the upcoming chapter! not to mention the CLIFFHANGER!!!

VerifiedA crescendo of tension. Not explosive, but sharp. The final moments leave you with that signature AoT chill the kind that whispers, “It’s only getting wilder from here.”

The season ends with Marley launching an attack on Paradis. The chaos makes it clear the conflict has reached a breaking point.

This episode builds strong political tension through dialogue and perspective shifts. The slow pacing enhances the emotional weight and makes the conflict feel inevitable.

This episode was a good watch. Yelena makes the plot super interesting, even though she is a bit scary. Pieck is mad smart, but their interaction only reminds me that Eren is always one step ahead.

EPISODE CONTEXT
As the sixteenth and final episode of The Final Season Part 1, 'Above and Below' is the culmination of every political betrayal, character fracture, and ideological clash that MAPPA has been building since the Marley arc opener. The preceding episodes escalated internal power struggles within Paradis and deepened the conflict between Eren's faction and his former allies — this episode forces those tensions into direct collision. It functions as a critical bridge to the next part of the final season, converting simmering internal chaos into the spark for all-out external war.
