Attack on Titan: Brave Volunteers (2021)
Season 4, Episode 9
10/10
I loved this episode
24 February 2021
One of my favourites so far. Here, AOT proves that it can be a quiet, psychological drama - without the aid of indulgent action sequences. Instead of the earlier, more linear episode arcs, this one darts around in time in very a compelling way to which it almost feels like it unfolds backwards. The Nichollo and Sasha scenes were excellent, Armin's remorseful speech + Eren's harrowing responses made for a poignant arc that, again, unfolds backwards.

On top of this I loved the boat scenes - great pacing, felt like a Coen brothers film. I know people obsess a little over the 1-10 rating, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone by giving It a perfect ten - Its not perfect - but I really can't see anything wrong with it or a moment at which I wasn't compelled.
