「断罪」 (Danzai)
“Judgement”
Well, it’s here at last, the grand finale to one of 2010’s biggest anime productions. Or at least we hope so, because given how long it’s taken to reach this stage, I wouldn’t fully bet on this being the final season yet. That’s right boys and girls, SnK is finally here with its epic conclusion, and if you haven’t already spoiled yourself on what happens here yet best strap and get ready for some chaos. This season is going to go places, and they’re not the places at all you thought would be explored. Not in the slightest.
Given how long it’s been since the first half of this finale last year I’m kind of surprised to see SnK jump right back into the thick of things, but it’s certainly appreciated. Eren (Kaji Yuuki) after all really jumped ship previously, initiating a mass Paradis euthanasia plan for the sake of peace and crippling Marley’s leadership in order to gain an insurmountable head start on it. Or so he thought at the time. As we know Marley wasn’t as crippled as the Yeagerists thought, and this opener emphatically proved it with the likes of Pieck, Reiner, and Theo showing up to put the ripped edgy screamy boy back into his place (and maybe to help Gabi too, never underestimate a good deed). Need a good amount of destruction in your openers to help ring in a new season? You won’t be disappointed here. MAPPA too is really bringing their A game to show off all of this, and while I imagine the complaints vis a vis Wit will remain, there’s no denying the animation (and soundtrack!) is on point. At minimum this one is going to be fun watch, especially once the real action begins in earnest.
Of course such action is only dressing for the plot and the first clues of what’s to come are already on the table. Levi for example is a big piece of the puzzle, what between his current state suggesting death and Hange’s move firmly indicating otherwise, but there’s also some poignant foreshadowing I assure you will be very important later on. Then too comes the matter of Onyankapon and the betrayal within betrayal which you can bet without doubt is only going to get weirder and confusing as events start proceeding apace. If Armin’s increasingly desperate rationalizing over Eren’s actual plan and Misaka’s internal dilemma over her free will is character breaking chaos enough at this stage for you, spoiler alert, it’s nothing compared to what’s coming down the pipeline. There’s a whole lot of crazy to experience once the Rumbling does (or does not) get started, and I for one am looking forward to seeing just how this maelstrom winds up adapted.
Considering what’s already been teased in previews and OP both, I expect the results are going to be glorious in one way or another.

The amount of focus on Eren in both OP and ED, is unlike any of the previous seasons. Pretty much hammering in the fact that Eren is the center piece of all, or we are just getting trolled .
Not to spoil anything, I’ll just say you’re on track more than you think 😛
For me, this show has been going downhill for a while now. I’m not very optimistic about how it will end.
Given how this arc ends it’s going to be an incredible ending – whether as a satisfying end or this decade’s first trainwreck lol.

During the episode I just kept saying OMG…OMG…OMG…. talk about intense. I do have a question though… is it just me or was that opening song one of the worst I’ve ever heard. I think my ears were bleeding afterwards….
Depends on if you like metal I think. Personally I liked it because it’s much better than some of the metal OPs which have been used to date in other anime.
Yo what you talking bout homie?? The opening slaps; SiM pretty much delivers here. The blend of ferocity and somber melancholy are the perfect moods to capture the shit that’s gonna go down this season. What a tone setter this opening is. I guess you do need an ear for metal to give a shit about the song
You are definitely right about it being appropriate for what’s going to happen. Yikes!
Marley switched from Carcano M91’s to Gewer 88 Commission Rifles mid-season. Not a great decision in my opinion. The M2 .50 caliber in the airship seemed a bit anachronistic to me. Heavy Maxims would have been better.
Was that the Female Titan on the OP? Will my wish finally be answered?
Annie!!!!!
The return of shoddy CGI… _-_
