I picked up on the manga after I finished the first season of the anime on Netflix. I picked up the anime again when seasons 2 and 3 came out, because I was so excited to see some of the stuff I read live. They've honestly reminded me of Season 1, the adapters seem to like this storytelling method of introducing plot points both major and minor in nature first, and then going back to fill in little details. Eren mentions in the first episode of Season 3 that Historia had told them their story, and if I hadn't read the manga I'd be like "NANI??????" But then this episode opens up with aforementioned story, and now it makes more sense when I rewatch episode 1. I'll be honest, I HATE having to do that.

So all in all, I share most people's sentiments on this episode. Historia's backstory - great. Erwin's backstory - frickin epic. But I spent the rest of the episode trying to figure out what happened in what order, or what each party is doing at the time of these events.
