EPISODE REVIEWS

EP7 is worth your time — this anime is made for the viewer to enjoy the cuteness of robots, while enjoyin. Strong enough to keep Attack on Titan fans engaged.

Straight into the brawl and it doesn't let up. The fight delivers, Eren shows real growth, and that cliffhanger was bonkers. And the CGI? Yeah it's noticeable. Looks weird compared to the hand drawn stuff. Takes you out a bit, but whatever.

Fast-paced and intense, driven by raw emotion. The episode shows how quickly situations can spiral when fear and pressure take control.

Eren vs Reiner. Visuals of the "Armor" cracking are brutal. Suspense as the Colossal Titan falls from the wall like a nuke.

It’s less emotional than the previous episodes, but that’s fine. Also, the Colossal Titan’s steam pressure is terrifying, the sheer amount of damage it causes by just standing around is crazy.

Fantastic, well-done fight scene between the Survey Corps and the Colossal Titan, as well as Eren + Mikasa's combination against Armored Titan. This battle of strengths was impressive - and showed the difference between someone like Eren and the two who have a good handle of their Titan abilities.

This is probably the best action thriller out there currently and this is totally a perfect 10/10 anime... the best part about it is how it respects the phrase 'dark fantasy' meaning i like how it is satisfyingly 50% brutal combat and 50% emotional betrayal it has.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the exact midpoint of Season 2's twelve episodes, 'Close Combat' converts the devastating revelations of Episode 6 into immediate, explosive physical conflict — this is where talking ends and survival begins. It serves as the season's action crescendo for its first half, testing whether the protagonists can withstand betrayal not just emotionally but physically. Everything that follows in the back half of the season builds directly from the outcomes forged in this episode's battles.
