Conspiratiorist posted:Willy was being disingenuous - "Come on, they're just Eldians, aren't they? Isn't sending them to their deaths what you've been doing for years?" he says as he knowingly marches towards his own death to try and save them by scapegoating Paradis. chiasaur11 posted:I'm not sure that's quite... hmn. I guess I phrased that poorly but what I meant was that Magath was more concerned over the idea of civilian Eldian casualties than him and Willy was the one ranting about how they're spawn of devils. Willy may be doing this whole plan to ostensibly 'save' the Eldians in the long run, but he clearly does think they're a cursed race who deserves to be punished in some way and I doubt the civilian casualties gave him much pause at all. Also Magath did get convinced by Gabi to try her plan to avoid sacrificing the 800 Eldian soldiers. So he has shown that he'll avoid getting them killed if he can. Between him and the gate guards, I think it's interesting that they've been showing some Marlyeans who aren't totally 'gently caress the Eldian scum' lately.

Holy poo poo what an episode It's amazing to see Eren just so level headed and strategic. I love how he just charged and punched the warhammer titan before it even finished transforming. And everyone showed up! Super awesome new armor! Everyone has guns! Levi just absolutely owning the jaw titan! Fantastic. I have no idea what's gonna happen. None! God I need Eren to eat the warhammer titan. I was gutted he was interrupted. Sasha and Jean just calmly head shotting people. Absolutely cycle of violence stuff, as shown when Jean admonishes that young guy who wants to burn everything down. Well done Armin for loving everything up and not watching those guys. Paradis are now definitely the "villains" but what's their end game? This can't end well. I'm sure someone will save the jaw titan right at the beginning of the next episode (right after a flashback to start the episode haha) Please Eren eat the warhammer titan. Please Levi kill the beast titan.

Mikasa's conversation with Eren was wild. It sounds like he basically just announced he was going in on his own, forcing everyone else to follow even if they didn't want to.Nephthys posted:I guess I phrased that poorly but what I meant was that Magath was more concerned over the idea of civilian Eldian casualties than him and Willy was the one ranting about how they're spawn of devils.

I thought the cg was mostly good for war hammer, suitable to how creepy it is, but there were a couple shot of Attack titan that were off. But I have no real complaints. Great ep. so tough to watch week to week! Edit:loving phone posting DamnGlitch fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Jan 18, 2021 |

The CG of ... I think it was Jean but it might have been Connie landing and moving was really awkward but I thought the rest of it was great. Warhammer Titan is kind of absurdly broken if Eren didn't spot the weakness immediately.

Yeah, that landing shot and a couple of further out shots for the Attack Titan looked a bit off in motion. Otherwise I thought the CGI looked pretty good, I'm definitely not thinking "this is a big lump of CGI" every time the titans are on-screen like I did with the Colossal Titan in previous series.

I feel like CGI in anime if it's prominent almost always looks bad, and I've been put off whole shows for bad CG before, but I'll take these CGI titans we've seen every remaining episode if we don't get anything like the old Colossal or Rodd Reiss ever again.

Marley is getting paid off for its crimes, and our friends will have died... will have died for nothing. But... we can all go home. Meanwhile, ideas like peace, freedom and justice - they get packed up. But... we can all go home. Well... I'm not going home. I'm gonna get in my Titan, and I'm going on stage, and I'm going to kick that Warhammer Titan's rear end so HARD... that the next Helos wanna-be is gonna feel it. Now who wants to go home... and who wants to go with ME!

This show broke the last studio trying to animate it and if reports are anything to go by it's come close to doing the same for Mappa. If the price of not having the animators kill themselves to get this done is CGI, I'll take it. Especially when they have blended the cgi really, really well and the motion is pretty fluid across the board.

Bread Set Jettison posted:Pieck kind of rules though Pieck's smart enough to impress Zeke "Wonderboy" Yeager, cute enough that Marleyians are crushing on her in public (her support squad doesn't have a single Eldian in it), and capable enough to be singlehandedly responsible for salvaging the disaster of the raid on Paradis. If not for her, Marley would have been annihilated in their middle eastern war. There's enough capable people on the show that she's not the guaranteed winner of "most competent", but she's definitely one of the top candidates for the title.

I liked Porco's realization that he no longer possesses "shock and awe" against an enemy that's accustomed to fighting titans. From Eren and Mikasa's conversation is sounds like Eren initiated all of this on his own. I wonder if he has a better long term plan than simply kill em all. My personal desire is too see Eren and Zeke fight as titans. The last thing that Zeke said to Eren was "I will save you" (from Grisha's ideology). I'm curious how Zeke feels now.

Same opinion for me. Nothing will look worse than Bertholdt's Colossal Titan last season. Anyways what an incredible episode. They did a great job depicting how horrible and unpredictable this attack was through everybody dying around Gabby, Pieck panicking because she heard ODM in the sky, and Porco trying to wrap his head around why the scouts were charging him. After this is over I want Sawano to score a blockbuster war movie.

Something the perspective change really takes advantage of is how absolutely prepared the scouts are for this moment and how ill-prepared the Marlyeans are to counter it; it’s a total mirror of the early episodes in which Titans seemed like an unstoppable force. The mere threat of anti-Titan weaponry was enough to start getting Marley worried about their future , and an army comprised entirely of those lucky and skilled enough to survive insurmountable odds against Titans just showed up at their doorstep with a ton of fun new toys and four years more experience than we last saw them.

Having far and even medium shots of people also be CG was a bit unexpected but on the other hand the new 3DMG is ridiculously complex to draw and animate.

It actually really works that there was a studio change for this season, as the perspective flipped to the other side for this story, so all of our old protagonists looking odd and really loving scary is perfect since they are being seen from the eyes of people that have never encountered the "Devils from Paradis". Also, this was the single most fire episode of this series I've ever viewed, and that's saying a lot considering I usually think that two or three times each season.

Something I saw pointed out is that the new tracks for the season tend to be associated with Marley, while Paradis keeps the old music. Just another clever little thing to keep up this season feeling distinct.

Imagine if you would start to watch AOT this season, never having seen anything before. Now imagine the scenes showing paradisers perspective was cut from the episode. I dare anyone to tell me that this wouldnt be almost as horrific as the beginning of the show. Two of the kids we have gotten to know over these episodes, snuffed out just like that. An attack by an overwhelming force, seemingly almost unstoppable when the episode credits rolled. Villains indeed, Eren, villains indeed. Oh, and I am glad people can enjoy the animation. Good for you, I am genuinly envious. For me, It was terrible. Using CGI for human characters this way takes me right out of it. More power to you if you can enjoy it anyway, I pray silently that next episode is more like the earlier this seasons which looked fine to me.
