Things Got Real...and a Little Bit Goofy in Attack on Titan This Week!
Okay, so last week's Attack on Titan episode? Intense. But this week? We're talking next-level chaos sprinkled with a few, "Wait, did that just happen?" moments. Buckle up, because "Sunset" was a wild ride!
First off, Eren is... well, still being Eren. That means less talking, more rumbling. You know, your average Titan Founding Titan stuff. Honestly, the guy is causing so much dust and destruction it's like a giant toddler throwing a colossal tantrum.
But the episode wasn't all apocalyptic doom and gloom! We got to see some heartwarming moments, believe it or not.
Reiner and Annie: The Awkward Reunion
Remember Reiner and Annie? Those two former comrades who tried to destroy everything? Yeah, they had a little chat. It was... uncomfortable, to say the least. Think high school dance level awkwardness, but with more Titan-shifting potential.
Annie seemed genuinely remorseful, which is a big step for the girl who used to crush buildings like they were made of LEGOs. Reiner, ever the tortured soul, is still wrestling with his guilt. You almost want to give them both a hug... almost.
It's actually kind of sweet to see them trying to reconnect. Maybe there's hope for these two after all, even if it's just to share a really, really long therapy session.
The Power of Friendship (and Explosives)
Meanwhile, the Survey Corps is still trying to figure out how to stop Eren's world-ending plan. They're basically throwing everything they have at him. Planes? Check. Thunder Spears? Check. Desperate pleas to the Founding Titan to chill out? Double check.
The teamwork this episode was on point! Seeing the remaining members of the Survey Corps working together, despite everything they've been through, gave you a little hope in the face of utter despair.
Armin, bless his strategic heart, is still trying to reason with Eren. We know it's a long shot, but you gotta admire the guy's optimism. Or maybe he's just really stubborn. Either way, we're rooting for him.
Pieck's Gamble: Was it worth it?
And then there's Pieck. Always cool, calm, and collected. She masterminded a pretty daring plan, a desperate gamble to try and weaken Eren's control. She blew up the Founding Titan's nape. That's gotta hurt!
But, the real question is... did it even work? The episode ends on a cliffhanger, naturally, leaving us all wondering if Pieck's brave move will make a difference or just make Eren even angrier.
Seriously, waiting for the next episode is going to be torture. This show knows how to keep us on the edge of our seats!
The Big Question: What Happens Next?
So, where does all this leave us? Eren is still rampaging, the world is still ending, and the Survey Corps is still fighting tooth and nail. But amidst the chaos, we see glimmers of hope, moments of connection, and even a little bit of humor.
This is what makes Attack on Titan so compelling. It's not just about giant monsters fighting; it's about the human cost of war, the importance of friendship, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that seems determined to destroy itself.
One thing's for sure: the final episodes are going to be epic. Grab your popcorn, prepare for some serious feels, and get ready for the ride of your life!
