The Attack Titan is my favourite chapter in the manga and I was pretty pleased with this adaptation as the animation, the dialogue, and of course Sawano's excellent score (nice to see the return of YouSeeBigGirl one of my all time favourites) somehow elevated the material that was already perfect in my eyes. I just love how hard hitting this episode is as Kruger/Grisha's talk never failed to make me misty eyed yet somehow inspired by how men that lost everything and will endure more tragedy still find it within themselves to move forward and try to live again. This episode also had the best use of colour all season long with the overall feeling of tragedy juxtaposed well against natural beauty (warm oranges and serene blues) and how colour was used to reflect meaning in the episode (Ex. The sunsetting on Grisha's life in Marley as he accepts Kruger's proposition.). The panels in this chapter are some of Isayama's best in my opinion but WIT did a incredible job bringing it to life. Overall this definitely stuck the landing for me to upgrade the season from a 8 to a 9 in my book.
