Oh finally here. by the way, the animator who did Levi Vs Beast (Arifumi Imai) spent a total of 4 months to work on that scene : -1 month - Storyboard -3 months - Draw 4 months for less than 90 seconds of animation. Truly a work of art.

[@Raven-lg7td]

also it shows how incredibly outdated 2D animation is. Mappa got a lot of hate for switching to 3D models, but 3D saves LOTS of time, if Levi vs Beast was 3D animated it would take 10x less of god knows how much less time

[@actually_wrong8532]

@@Nokotron it really is a stretch, just a weir coincidence but still cool to think about

[@eliassideris2037]

It's not a coincidence. "Mars" in latin means something like prowess or bravery. Each of these characters' death inspired somebody else (Marcel's death inspired Reiner, Marco's inspired Jean, Marlow's inspired Floch). There's a video on yt that goes deeper in this. I think the title of the video was "This video will change how you see Reiner" or something like that. I suggest you watch it.

[@arwenlostlorn6569]

Ahhh the tears.....the pain....what a delight to see! And Anna saying "Cruel world...shit well YOU made this cruel world!" True, Isayama did indeed make this cruel world. And I remember him saying in one of his interviews that some of the best stories come from pain and betrayal and tears or something along those lines. The man is truly a sadist.

I know everyone talks about Armin, or Erwin or Hange being the great ones to come up with effective plans, but look at Jean - his idea/plan was what brought down the Armored Titan (and even got praise from Hange-San). And not just that, he volunteered for the most vulnerable position as the decoy with only blades. He's come a long way... edit. "I feel like brothers make sense to me, maybe because of Uri and Historia's father...more as a parallel, it would make sense to me if we had 'two brothers - two brothers.'" Anna ...😳

[@ds90seph]

Good catch

[@aleyom]

Anna: I hope Marlo is the 'sole survivor'. Me: Funny that you would mention that.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

Erwin's speech inspired many, including Marlowe and the scared red haired boy. He convinced even those shaking down to their bones to charge with him in the hopes that their sacrifice would make a difference. Marlowe thought that Hitch was asleep, but she was actually waiting for him to return. The scared boy was the only one who emerged unscathed. But even though he was scared, he still rode forward. He still fought. MONKE down. I do appreciate that Levi knows he wouldn't have gotten this chance without the help of everyone charging. If the Beast had noticed him even a few seconds earlier, he would've hurled those rocks in Levi's direction and it would've been over. The Beast has lanky arms, which are amazing for throwing. Amazing for long range. But when you get up close and personal, that's where he struggles a bit. Armin was the one who showed Eren his book and told him about the outside world. Armin was the one who gave Eren the idea of going outside the walls. He gave Eren the idea of freedom. And even when Eren doubted himself, Armin was the one who gave him the motivation to keep going. You can tell that Eren is absolutely devastated by what happened. He doesn't sound sad, or happy that he took down Bertolt, he doesn't even sound angry at the end. He just looks and sounds completely and utterly broken. Because his best friend Armin was a hero.

Personally feel like it is one of the weaker episodes in terms of how it was directed. Levi's fight vs the Beast didn't have a deserving soundtrack Armin's sacrifice should've been focused on as an entirety without cutting to the other group constantly, especially the part where Armin gives his last words, and we cut to Hange being back. It felt really conflicting. I definitely get it from a realistic pov, cus these scenes all happened simultaenously. I just feel like the scene selection could've been handled better. And Bert's monologue spelling out what happened was just a poor choice, completely deflating the moment. They should've just lingered on the quiet part, letting the audience take it all in. Still a great episode though.
