+ Ashes on Fire is the definition of perfection. Those heavenly ODM gear scenes! Not even a single shot I found sloppy, it was insanely smooth. This is amazing. Then, Mikasa's rage!!!!!!!! Spine-chiller! The end scene was tear-jerking and perfect. This show is incredible. The next episode will be Peak Fiction.

The best of MAPPA
jlegutko12322 March 2022
Everything about this episode is the animators at their best. From the titan fights to the human-on-human ODM gear scenes. Mikasa, Hange, and Floch all got some insanely good action sequences. This is MAPPA firing on all cylinders and my god is it good.
Incredible episode but really hard to watch
ayushverma-5282522 March 2022
Another 10/10 episode but really hard to watch Mikasa brutally killing yeagerists but it's a conflict no less than war so what can we expect. Action sequences were amazing even earned appraisal from Imai Araifumi. Music as always as good as possible.
Jaw titan looked amazing and cute lol.
Nice Mid screen card, said it all.
And there is one thing that I am sure of in shingeki you can never side with anyone nobody is in the right. This whole Season 4 has been some of the darkest stuff I have seen.

THAT EPISODE WAS FIRE I WAS LEGIT CRYING MAN... I love this show with all my heart I really enjoyed that, mappa did more than great!! The characters they were killing it I really did so excited that it finshed super quickly I had to at least watch this 3 times because how insanely good that was ! The animation, the music, all that action... MAN DAMN THAT WAS A HELL OF A RIDE ! I'll just always be greatful for everyone that worked in this show it deserves a big 10/10 i don't why people be hating on it but to be honest this isn't just my favorite anime or show it's my favorite story EVER seeing all these characters now vs then... it's insane it's really is!
The Action is INSANE.
BoydudeReviews21 March 2022
Just phenomenal storytelling and action mixed together!
bernardosgarcia22 March 2022
I don't really mind the fact that AoT episodes ain't animated with the flashiness of Demon Slayer or the fluidity of JJK, because the storytelling is just on another level, but mixing it with such a good and crisp animation really makes this episode a 10/10 in my view.
Season 3 part 2 was the best action wise and also from a Shonen point of view, but this season is just something that anyone who enjoys a S tier story has to fall in love with (despite it's darkness).
Complex, dark and emotional. The GOAT.
No words to describe the outstanding character development of Reiner, Gabi, Floch, Eren, Armin, Jean. This is (and most likely will be for a long time) my favourite anime!!

Chaos!
Adam-0926521 March 2022
Strong episode. Full of destruction, emotion and blood. Floch puts up a strong fight, humans fighting humans to the death is how changed this series has become. It sparks desperation into chaos.
This isn't about fighting Kenny the Ripper anymore it's slaughtering old allies, a change seen through Connie especially but Mikasa's become a monster. After her last interaction with Eren Mikasa's been suddenly deprived of certain feelings, depressed with a forceful task that probable towards Eren's death to save humanity has her down the road of a blood thirsty killer. What she has lived for to be thrown back in her face like that ultimately without instinct makes her an extremely dangerous character right now. If she had any merciful attributes before they are long gone now, all that seems to be left is a pissed off war weapon.
Titan's fighting to the brink of collapse with Falco making a bold decision that beserks out like a wild animal and putting some of his own allies in danger. What it has taken to edge just a little forward with their plan.
9.7/10.

AOT is a mature work!
erenjeiger22 March 2022
Something that made AOT so great was always the fact that it was an anti-Manicheeist work, the origin of evil is not good and evil, it will depend on the viewer's perspective who is "good" and who is "bad". The animation and adaptation, the action and everything in this chapter has been a 10. Thank you MAPPA.
My FAVOURITE episode of Attack on Titan so far
Sp4ceGun22 March 2022
This episode has just been pretty much flawless. Even though MAPPA struggle with using 2D Titans due to unfortunate circumstances out of their control, they still managed to pull off 2D Annie for quite a few scenes, and same with Reiner as well. The music was on point, I absolutely LOVE the gore in this episode and how it's accompanied by the slashing sound effects. The sequence with Floch avoiding Falco, Hange and Pieck is probbaly the best they have done so far, I love it. The animation overall has been extremely phenomenal and knowing all of the obstacles that MAPPA Studio had to face when making Attack on Titan season 4 makes this all the more impressive (Less time, Covid issues, working on 3 other animes simultaneously). In addition, the voice acting was superb as it always is in this anime. This is by far 100% my favourite episode so far in all of AoT, and I'd like to say that it is in the top 10 best episodes, maybe even higher. Season 4 has been a masterpiece so far.
Speechless
Qoenntrell21 March 2022
First of all, HOLY SMOKES. This episode blew me out of the water with so many ODM/Titan Sakuga cuts. Floch's dynamic camera action sequence was a masterpiece, and the same goes for Connie Ackerman, the 2D Female Titan, Cart Sakuga, Mikasa's ruthless killstreak, Falco's Jaw design and transformation, other Yeagerist Sakuga, e.t.c. Shishido and Hayashi had really put in their all into this episode and it shows. This is by far the best animated episode of the season by MAPPA and rivals previous masterpiece episodes by WIT. My jaw literally dropped while watching this episode live.
Loved the change of Mikasa's dialogue, reaffirming Mikasa's resolve to stop Eren from committing any more indiscriminate murders as well as her desire to place humanity before the self-preservation of her home in an effort to save as many people as possible, tying to her pride.
Keith and Margath's double sacrifice could not have a better OST selection, and the silenced explosion was something I expected and MAPPA delivered. It was both emotionally visceral and gut wrenching.
Adding the beginning of 130 near the end was a masterstroke, with Annie's agony directly testing Mikasa's resolve to kill Eren if she needs to, the perfect way to end off a perfectly adapted episode.

The Armored Giant, the Female giant and two more giants, in addition to the Ackermans.
All this frightening power didn't shake his being or strike him with an ounce of fear.
This is because he has a principal and he's ready to sacrifice his life for it, he's not selfish or greedy, he just was fighting for his homeland in the way he thought the best. And this is what he showed till the end.
One of the best characters in season 4part2 and i wish the other characters we loved were on his side..

The ending is not going to be perfect

Warning: Spoilers
At this point if you cant see it you just ain't watching
I haven't read any Manga but it is obvious that mikasa is going to kill eren before he end it and the rest of the world that stayed untouched will come and destroy the island, that is so lame and if they make peace its going to be even more lame
I don't see a way that this show can have a perfect ending i hope im wrong and there be a twist or something.

Epic on the outside, terribly written on the inside. The worst episode.
EddyTheMartian00719 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Before I completely tear this horribly written episode apart, I gotta give credit where it's due. Wow, this is easily the best animated and directed episode of Season 4. The long shots, the blood, explosions, it was so epic yet it's so badly written it makes for the most frustrating experience ever. It still doesn't look amazing though. The hype is all there, got chills multiple moments, it's really goof, but it's still not as great as it could be, or as great as it was with WIT. There are a lot of mistakes in it, inconsistencies between shots, and the animation is pretty choppy in some scenes that are supposed to be smooth. Like last episode, this episode is very exciting, but if you think of it for more than 2 seconds it makes absolutely no sense, and it's even worse than the last despite how epic it feels. I know how this goes and I was literally screaming at my screen. Watching it all animated made me realize it's even worse than I thought. Like in the manga you only see brief moments, not what happens between them, so now having all that time we see even more nonsensical character decisions, insanely contrived action, and plot armor even battle shounen main characters would be jealous of. Anyways without further delay let's list all the issues this episode has:
-So in the middle of this war, Jean, Hange, Magath, etc. Are chilling planning stuff with the Azumabito people. If a Yeagerist happens to fly over them and shoot a thunder spear they're dead. Actually, they were spotted last episode, so why they didn't do it is beyond me. Does the boat plan even make sense? Cause to escape in the boat they have to kill all the Yeagerists or deal with them while being chased, which takes time, then get on the boat without everyone they need being killed, then ride on the boat safely, arrive at the hanger with everyone and all the materials, and set it up there... Like isn't that going to take pretty much the same time as setting up the plane here and be riskier?
-Just like the last example, the cart Titan, Yelena, Oyankapon, Levi, Gabi, and Falco are all together, walking through the battlefield, where a simple thunder spear could've killed them all if a single Yeagerist spots them. They sure are lucky! What about when they're going into the water, and coming out to breathe (cause there's no way they held their breath that long)? Of course it cuts to them when they arrive leaving the trip it took there off-screen cause it's totally unbelievable. Plus Connie and Armin were just chilling there doing nothing for half the episode. Connie then just gets back to killing Yeagerists after killing his childhood friend, so much remorse! No Yeagerists are at the boat, or in it? You know the literal thing you're guarding...?! The more I think of this episode the more the awful writing is made apparent, and the more I hate it. This fight's spatial awareness is terrible. It's almost like if characters teleport.
-I need a section just for Mikasa. Just wanted to say her character has sucked for a while, but even in the beginning she wasn't that great, she's only loved because she's "hot" and "cool" Her character devolves into, "Muh Ereh... Muh scarf..." There's potential to do interesting things with her like the slave mentality but that isn't explored. Remember the whole thing about her heritage and tattoo? What did that amount to? Anyways in this episode we see Mikasa literally dodge bullets! Absolutely 0 plot armor, but that aside, our "heroine" kills some Yeagerists, ties them together, and blows them up... Uh, why? To look cool with an explosion behind her and bloody rain? Yeah, she is our hero! Blatant proof there is no longer any care put into the logic and character of the show as long as it looks cool! There are no stakes left. Mikasa kills like a hundred Yeagerists, multiple at once, without a scratch! Maybe Mappa realized how evil the alliance is and decided to make them even more evil.
-The clearest display of the plot armor the alliance has is when Magath shoots multiple flying Yeagerists in a row, yet multiple Yeagerists shoot at groups of Azumabito people below them and miss every shot... heh.
-The worst and most egregious part: The Yeagerists literally shoot almost all their thunder spears, like dozens, at the cart Titan and they all miss. They all miss... Thunder spears only work if the main characters use them! Not only this, but they could've just shot all the thunder spears to the boat and it would've been over, why didn't they do that?! Floch literally says "It's all riding on this one shot" And I kept yelling at my screen, "Why did you waste all the other thunder spears earlier for literally nothing?! Why didn't you do this earlier?!" Literally 0 casualties from the alliance and they kill pretty much ALL the Yeagerists. Falco did more damage as the Titan than the Yeagerists (that was the only part I liked), seriously?! They literally turned all of the Yeagerists and Floch brain dead for this plot to work, and then killed him off. The only enjoyable character in this arc is gone... Gonna be tough to make it through this without you! R. I. P. Floch, you will be missed. At least he went off in the most epic way possible with the best animation in Season 4. (Btw of course he's a terrible human being, I'm just talking about the character writing and consistency. He's not a hypocrite like our supposed "heroes!") Also I appreciate Mappa not portraying the Yeagerists as cartoonishly evil like the manga.
-Let's not forget Gabi's aim-bot once again, where she not only shot a gun about her size to kill Eren and other characters, but now shoots and kills Floch, who's flying at full speed, while being on a boat. You know maybe it wouldn't be so egregious if the Yeagerists didn't miss every single shot...
-So not a single Yeagerists kills or injures one of our main characters at all in the entire episode, and they all get on the boat safely. The only person left behind is Magath. Heh, they really think Magath can hold back all the Yeagerists that are left? Magath hides behind this metal beam (I think?) with holes in it being shot at by multiple Yeagerists and of course all the bullets hit the beam instead of him. Our 10th Deus Ex Machina arrives this episode, Shadis who conveniently (and inexplicably) blew up the Yeagerist reinforcements. Shadis and Magath talk out in the open and the Yeagerists conveniently stop shooting. Like how can you defend this? This is so bad, it makes no sense, what happened?!
-This episode skips showing a lot of stuff, especially characters getting places, like Shadis and Magath getting on the other yeagerist ship, which happens off-screen because there's no logical explanation of how they could've gotten in undetected to the exact room they need to be in to blow up the ship. By the way, Shadis didn't even have to die, but okay. Don't let his "sad" monologue distract you from the fact he's a forced Deus Ex Machina! I'm still wrapping my head around how they expect us to believe the events of this episode.
-A lot of people will defend the lack of stakes with what happens to Magath and Shadis. Sure, they die, but it wasn't even by Yeagerists, it was by their own choice to blow up the ship with them. Shadis is a very minor character I almost forgot. Magath is easily the least important character out of the alliance members. The stakes and logic are gone, this show has become a joke.
-Finally, let's end off this list with the post-credit scene. So all the characters got away without a scratch. Annie suddenly gets emotions, and it feels so out of character. How are the other people sympathizing? She's led to believe her father is dying anyways, you know the only reason she's doing any of this, so why is she gonna help them when she's basically a sociopath? Again these people are enemies who have been killing each other! I still can't believe the only drama we get between them is the dumb campfire episode. Seriously now how are they gonna catch up to Eren and stop him? If Marley and Liberio are destroyed too why are they fighting? Let's say hypothetically with whatever convenient Deus Ex Machina crap writing they use to somehow beat Eren, most of the world would be destroyed, and the Eldiands would once again be seen as the villains, and so they'll once again be hated, killed, etc. The world will still be at war, then Eren's plan, while of course horrible, would've been pointless. Yeah sure you save people, that will probably start killing each other! Eren's plan is not right, but logically speaking once it's begun, and has gone this far, stopping him will just make things worse. Anyways I'm done.
This episode is just horribly written, I can't take it. I might've quit the show here if I didn't know the next episode will be some quality flashbacks. I hope so hard that Part 3 of this season, or the movie that ends off this series is an anime original because it's about to somehow get even worse. Honestly I was gonna give this episode a 3, but this is one of the angriest I've been at a show ever, and people are praising this with a 9.6/10?! It gets one extra star for the visuals (forgot to mention the music was also good), but the storyline and characters have been completely ruined in this final arc. This is beyond badly written. It's simply embarrassing and sad how a show I would've once considered to be a great has become this bad. I wouldn't say it's a bad season overall, thankfully the first part and the beginning of this part was still really good, but after the rumbling, apart from a couple of episodes, this arc is truly terrible and indefensible. It doesn't ruin the show for me, but I can no longer call AOT great if they don't fix it.

Never losing momentum
damnbrothatsdeep22 March 2022
It baffles me how a series can do so many things with such high quality consistently, the direction, the animation, the score, the themes and the character writing all deliver with such beauty. Everything that you like this series for, is here, and it's an incredible sight to behold.
Had me jumping out of my seat!!
and_mikkelsen21 March 2022
Breathtaking, actionpacked episode!! The action sequenses were some of the best in the entire series,! The animation was seriously next level! Seeing Mikasa, slicing through Yeagerists, was bloody amazing! Falcos jaw debut, combined with Ashes on fire, just elevated the whole ting! Shadis and magaths, along with Annies scene in the end, brought me to tears.
Absolute masterpiece of an episode. Peak of anime production!
TomiMaster1421 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I think we all can agree that this was the best animated episode of AoT Mappa made!
And You have my deepest salute, Theo Magath and Keith Shadis!
Man these two are true legends... I understand they die like real heroes, but still it's too sad... Their characters were amazing...
And final words to, Floch the Goat.. RIP to one of the well written character. Whether you like him or not Floch is one of the top tier character in season 4.
Overall, fantastic episode!

Best of the season
bardy922 March 2022
Wow so much incredible animation this episode IN 2D FINALLY!! Incredible cinematography and fights that just sets the action of this episode to new heights - I think the best action the show has ever gotten though I know most will disagree.
Such a beautiful sombre scene to end on too, highlighting that enemies in war are only so down to circumstance. The complexity of the war shown in this season pays off a little with the image of two men from opposite sides banding together - there is no enemy, just people who believe what they are told to justify violence. It's subtle enough to not feel didactic so I really like it.
The fan base being torn over who they support (floch and the yeagerists or Mikasa and armin etc (or even eren)) shows how grey the show is, each character has believable motives.
This was one of my favourite manga chapters and I couldn't be happier with the result so all smiles from me.

Masterpiece
fabiolafrastimarezetti21 March 2022
The tension, the action, the pacing. This episode is one of the best of the entire season and works as a real cathartic moment for many characters. The soundtrack of Kohta Yamamoto beautifully fits the action scenes, the synergy of the main cast is outstanding. A grim future awaits the heroes ahead in their desperate attempt to save the world. A great introduction to what will be the final episode of this second part of the Last Season.
Oh what a GREAT episode that was !

The actions scenes were awesome, the best MAPPA has ever done. It was brutal, quick & fluid. Everything we asked for. Loved it!
Mikasa is once again killing everything (literally) and it's so nice to see it again.
My boy Reiner once again getting smashed, poor dude can't catch a rest. Am I the only one thinking that they kinda nerfed the 2 other titans here?
Connie, Jean, Gaby, Floch.. Those fights were incredible.
Gaby once again saving the day..
The final fight for Magath & Keith, together, it was perfect, almost poetic. The two father figure uniting for the greater cause. What a strong scene, what a strong episode.
Annie was devastated, so do we. We are with you Annie, can't wait to be in 15 days!

This is the best fighting scenes i ever seen in an animation. The music, characters movements, camera movements, lightning, speed. They are perfect. If u didnt watch the series you can just watch this episode for fights.
