Great episode for Jean's character

[Luisvtw · 9/10 · 25 September 2021]

This episode focused well on Jean's character development. I first thought that Jean would die after he was introduced but I'm glad he didn't because I really like him.

Recap: Everyone is a suspect in the investigation to find out who killed the two test-subject Titans. Meanwhile, the cadets pick which military branch they'll be joining, but after the harrowing events in the Trost attack, many are uncertain which branch to choose.

Rewatch, 9.25/10

[dcdude-26988 · 9/10 · 29 September 2023]

After rewatching this episode, I actually have this episode as the second worst episode in the entire series, but either way, it was very amazing. This is what I am talking about. Even my least favorite episodes in the series very high rated. Anyways, my favorite characters in this episode were Armin, Eren, and Mikasa, and my favorite things about this episode were the dialogue, the ending, and music. I think it is official to me now. Attack On Titan really does have my personal favorite first season of all time. I have it just above Chernobyl, True Detective, and Band of Brothers. They are still good, but this show is just on a whole nother level.

Stellar character development

This was Jean's episode and an excellent build to the next arc. Those little filler touches were just perfect. The flashbacks of Marco and the joining scenes were emotionally powerful. Loved the direction and the OST was amazing. Fit the mood of the episode really well. The pace is pretty good, taking the fact that it is for character development into consideration. Jean has become one of my favorite characters on the show. They've done him well. Can't wait to watch the next episodes.
