Erwin had accepted his fate and Levi knew that. When Eren laid out how many times Armin's tactics have turned the tide it made sense to me to choose Armin.

Attack on Titan Season 3 |OT| We're in the perfect game now [READ STAFF POST]
- Thread starter PhantomKnight
- Start date
- OT
I'm caught up with the manga, but the anime still really surprises, tbqh. Love watching it.
I hope the year long wait for season 4 is so WIT studio can come back and finish out the series. It would be really disappointing if the series ended with sub par art.
There are 2 threads, manga readers just don't care for the most part.
We do have two threads. Something's gonna have to change for season 4.
Yeah, general manga thread, but I meant specifically a thread for manga readers when the anime is running. That general thread should be enough, but just to remove any issues in the future.
It is kinda insane how she's been completely ignored since the end of S1 if you don't count flashbacks. Not asking for an entire episode dedicated to her, but at least like a quick cut or scene to give us something.
It's when his dad goes to ask the Royal family for help. I always thought Grisha went with the intention of taking the Founding Titan but it seems like he actually just wanted help at first and when it was refused he took it.

I thought that it was just that Eren got a vision, for the first time, into the complete truth of what his father was saying and what his motivations were when he killed Historia's sister.
It showed that he tried to appeal to the king at first, instead of just going on a rampage from the start.
Eh, Floch deserves some slack. Dude is gonna have massive PTSD and major guilt the rest of his life thinking he doesn't deserve to live when the rest of his peers sacrificed their lives.
I spent years cultivating so many hopes and expectations for when the time came for them to adapt this part of the manga, and they were all surpassed.
Absolute masterpiece, 10/10 season.
We won't be next time around.

We were way too lenient in this thread.

Will we finally... be free?
Man, that scene was so bittersweet. So incredible they made it there yet at the same time depressing knowing even after reaching the sea Eren still feels shackled, and rightfully so knowing what he knows now.
Uhh regarding Armin and Erwin, no one seems to be talking about the fact that Armin is more future-facing than Erwin. In fact Armin and his ideals/dream are the future. That was the real turning point for Levi's decision, when it flashed back to Levi hearing Armin talking about the sea. Erwin just had the basement and knowing the truth in mind, but Armin's trying to know more about the rest of the world on a different sort of level.
Basically Erwin is the old guard who's death means things can be better for the next generation.
Also as a side note, Armin is arguably a better person to make use of the Colossal Titan's powers if need be. Erwin is a commander so he's not going to be up in the front lines as a Titan. Or at least he shouldn't be. Armin has a quasi commanding role but it's not the same.

Does he really? Because Hitch came in good spirits and he just ruined her day. Yeah he been through hell and back but hitch probably thought that Marlo died as a hero, which he did. Still I hate that Floch survives and Marlo didn't. He was one of the most down to earth guys in the series.
Annie's crystal can't be so tough that Eren's Titan can't bruteforce his way into it, right? During the whole year this episode time-skipped I feel like they could've tried to use the Colossus' heat to red heat her and then Eren armor punches it. Then again maybe that'd kill Annie, so who knows if they tried something already.
Huh, i think I have an idea on the end game for this story and I can say that I think I will love it. The story of Punished Eren.
And it looks like the rest of the world has airplanes and tanks!!

Erwin likely knew this too and why he stopped Levi with his death arm slap.
Yea I thought about the same. Or maybe if the colossus would be able to crush it with its hand or stepping over it.
There were a couple shots where Armin and Mikasa looked the same, but I think the show has generally done a good job at depicting all the characters ages in terms of appearance. Even in flashbacks to certain characters, you can roughly guess when it took place or how long ago it was by the character's appearance.
Watch the Promised Neverland.
AOT S3 is certainly in my top contenders of anime this year but I think S1 of Promised Neverland is just as much a masterpiece if not moreso.
My perspective may be skewed because I saw it as someone who had read the manga beforehand, but there had been a fair amount of complaints regarding the middle of Promised Neverland's anime adaptation. They left some things out that were critical to the understanding of the mystery, and it was oddly paced at times with some odd creative liberties that weren't in the manga. But it had a real strong start and ending, so it was great, overall.
But I think AoT S3 tops it because it's not just something new on its own, but because it's the culmination of years of build-up and mystery. And it actually paid off and was executed very nicely. That seems to be a rare thing for long-running series, especially in anime, so it gains points for that.
Just watched the dub of Midnight Sun and I felt like it was disappointing and inconsistent compared to how hard that episode hits me while watching the original. The emotion in the voice acting in the original were pitch perfect and they really sell how difficult that decision is.
I've felt most of the dub has held up decently for all the most important scenes in the series so far, but this felt like a let down for me.

I don't know how you could say the past few episodes had wasted time. Between the fight at the wall, the argument over who to revive and the revelations that completely recontextualize the series, it's makes sense to have a cool down episode at the end.
But it is an important perspective to have. Because for as long as the series has run, we have only seen suicidal blockheads in the Scouts.
Yeah I was wrong about "last few episodes", but particularly this episode and the episode where they first reached the basement. 20% of it was good new interesting stuff, but 80% seems to be fluff.
What happened this episode? Floch says the same thing he said up on the wall, the people find out about the truth [consequences??], three-second clip of something Eren sees, and they reach the ocean (which was a given).
Yeah im not sure really. Maybe they couod get her out but colossus feels like iy would just crush the shit out of her and they woukd get nothing out of her. No titan fluid because she would be a smear, and no information because she would be dead.
I would think they got her somewhere with a dude and some pickaxes just slowly working away trying to carve her out lol
Glorious ending, if I may say so. Even knowing what would happen, the work done on these episodes was masterful.
It's just a shame some couldn't keep themselves from ruining the experience for others.

Levi-"Everyone is too loud.
I miss Erwin.
I wish I was at home cleaning."
I agree. I think the juxtaposition between his wanting to kill the titan and Eren's compassion for it (as well as the rest of the scouts, really) factors into that, too. But it also factors into me thinking he's an asshole.

Yeah, we really should have handled it like the GoT's threads. Just having a manga thread in off topic wasn't enough.
