EPISODE REVIEWS
The way Kenny’s squad corners Levi, the gun shot flashes lighting the tunnels, Levi slipping through gunfire like a ghost. The entire scene with Levi v. Kenny was amazing. Historia’s confrontation with Rod Reiss, the way she rejects the syringe, and her decision to define her own path sets another raw and defiant tone to the episode. Even Eren’s breakdown hits differently here. He’s ready to die because he thinks he’s failed everyone. The whole episode is honestly a roller coaster of different emotions.
This is where we see Attack on Titan where Human no longer fighting Titans, but Human/Humanity itself...
Every episode feels like a chess games. The tension, pace and emotional stake keeps increasing as the episode progress. The direction and story was good, the animation could be so much better but it was really good to see Armin's character development in this episode.
