Overall, a good chapter. Even if not much happened, that was necessary. Eren's memories apart, that was mostly a contemplative chapter, the story didn't really progress. Also, the chapter was nearly exactly as I expected, the begining with some parts on the alliance ship, and the end with a sight of Eren's Titan and the Rumbling. However, I was expecting Eren's memories for 131, but that wasn't an issue.

Pros :

- The art. The final panels are so beautiful. Lots of them are wallpapers. The panel of the Wall Titan swimming under the war ship, the Wall Titans emerging from the sea, the warships facing the wall of smoke, the Wall Titans walking near the city with Eren right behind them.

- I kinda like the puppet-style of the upper part of Eren's Titan. It makes it extremely creepy.

- Annie's willing to give up on everything, now that she thinks her father as dead. She joined the alliance for this, but now she doesn't really have motives to keep helping them. I'm wondering how it'll be justified if she stays in the alliance.

- Finally having Historia's opinion on all of that. And some explanations on the Ackermans, especially Mikasa. But beside that, the memories didn't ad that much to the story. Some panels of the memories were a nice ading that weren't necessary but still a welcomed one (Eren cutting his leg and hurting his eye as an example).

Cons :

- All the CGI we're going to have in season 4...

- It's pretty weird that only the face of Eren's Titan has flesh while the rest is still skelettic. The head of the Titan feels like it doesn't belong to the rest. But at least the head itself is nice looking tho.

- Eren's Titan doesn't make sense at all. No flesh, no muscles, no nerves, theorically, it shouldn't have been able to leave Shiganshina. How can it move ? It doesn't even have muscles and even if it had some, the only thing it relies on are the ribs. But ribs aren't limbs, they can't move... Eventually, as we saw in 123, his legs are touching the ground, and they seem to have a little amount of flesh on them, but you can't rely on that to make such a massive body move. I guess the most plausible answer so far is that he's moving like centipedes, with the ribs acting like limbs, but... I guess we're just having the least logical Titan ever designed by Isayama.

Notes :

- Is that city Liberio/Revelio ? The port wasn't destroyed, and I don't think they could have rebuilt it so fast (a little bit more than a month), and it seems like there is some elevation in the city, Liberio/Revelio seemed flat to me, without any relief.

- Where is Eren located on the Titan ? Going with logic, the only possible place is the head because it's the only place that has flesh, but considering the Titan seems to be moving without any flesh/muscles, I suppose it's not really a valid argument.
