I've heard complaints about the quality of animation and the fight between Eren and Reiner, but in my opinion it's nowhere as bad as the Frieda vs Grisha fight and scene where Eren was chained up. That was awful! I was thinking of quitting the anime if that decline in quality continued. This fight wasn't as good as Eren vs Annie or Eren's first bout with Reiner, but it was decent.

My issue is that it didn't seem to contain as much intensity as the earlier Eren-titan fights had.

The music at a certain part was exceptionally good. I think it was when Eren was smashing Reiner's face in.

The quarduped titan's face looks really weird. Was the animation that bad in the first part of season 3? How so it was that noticeable? I mean was it anywhere near as bad as One Punch Man Season 2 animation? I think it was S3 e6 "Sin" and e7 "Wish."

I'm rewatching "Sin" and the Frieda vs Grisha fight isn't quite as bad as I remember. Maybe it's because the bright underground caverns required less shadows for Frieda and Grisha's titans and therefore looked less detailed. Even for so little of a fight, it was underwhelming considering that these are giants-that-walk-the-earth.

Eren has cried plenty of times in prior episodes, but here it was the least convincing. Compare his breakdown in those two episodes with the one where he's inside the titan's stomach. Or when Hanne's died. The facial expressions, angles, and everything else seems to be so much more emotional and expressive. In S3 it's more simplistic, which makes such a supposedly impactful scene come across as routine and average.

The actions scenes of Hangi and company fighting Kenny's troops was a severe drop in animation quality of S2 e2, and even previous 3DM scenes.
