This episode had it all. I thought I'd gotten used to seeing gross Titans, but boy was I wrong. The stakes felt very real, thanks in part to the episode 1 throwbacks we're given, and seeing the whole plan unfold kept me at the edge of my seat. Eren continues the wonderful development he's seen as of late, and in a symbolic round of self-punching effectively bids farewell to his past, weaker self. It's a joy to see him regain a sense of determination after the pain he's just gone through. And Historia just keeps getting more awesome. In a matter of weeks, two characters I didn't think much of have just shot up to being my favorites. Very excited for the remaining 15 episodes of this season!
