Okay, let's talk Attack on Titan. Specifically, Season 4 Part 1. Ever feel like you're waiting ages for new episodes? You're not alone!
So, how many episodes did we actually get for this first slice of the final season? The answer is: 16 episodes. Seems like a decent amount, right?
Sixteen Episodes: A Rollercoaster Ride
Those sixteen episodes? Packed. No filler here. We're talking betrayals, shocking reveals, and enough titan smashing to make your jaw drop.
Remember when Eren suddenly went all...serious? And had long hair? It was like watching your little brother suddenly join a biker gang. Talk about a transformation!
It wasn't just Eren, though. Everyone was changing. Friendships fractured. Alliances shifted. It was like a really intense game of musical chairs, but with giant naked people trying to eat you.
The Marley Arc: A Change of Scenery
Part 1 took us away from Paradis Island for a bit, introducing us to the world beyond the walls. We met the Marleyans and got a taste of their perspective.
Seeing Eldians treated so horribly in Marley was tough. You couldn't help but feel for Gabi and the other warrior candidates, even if they were initially, well, kind of annoying.
And the war scenes? Absolutely brutal. Attack on Titan never shies away from the harsh realities of war, and this arc was no exception.
Heartbreak and Hope (Maybe?)
Remember Sasha's death? Ouch. Seriously, who greenlit that? It was such a gut punch. The potato girl deserved better!
Her last words being "meat"... it was tragically perfect. We all secretly wanted to raid the mess hall and steal some meat in her honor.
"Sasha... why?"
But amid the despair, there were glimmers of hope. Armin trying to find a peaceful solution. Mikasa always being Mikasa (fiercely loyal and ready to kick butt). These moments helped us keep going.
The Cliffhanger: Leaving Us Wanting More
And then BAM! The ending. Talk about a cliffhanger. Eren's attack on Liberio left us with so many questions.
We were left wondering: What's Eren's plan? What are the consequences of his actions? And most importantly, when do we get to see what happens next?!
Sixteen episodes felt like both an eternity and a blink of an eye. A whirlwind of action, emotion, and existential dread, all wrapped up in a surprisingly engaging package. We were left waiting anxiously for Part 2.
So, next time someone asks you about Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 1, you can confidently say: "Sixteen episodes of pure, unadulterated madness. You won't regret it...probably."
