WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SCENES WERE YOUR FAVORITE?

400 Responses

Seeing our protagonist again nearly three episodes of almost total absence won for the favorite moment of the episode. The cave was a sight to see for sure! Following behind Eren, Anka being dramatic, Pixis declaring the coup d’etat, and Squad Levi + Hange interactions were other favorite moments this week.







WHAT’D YOU THINK OF THE CAVE?

400 Responses

While 81% of respondents thought the cave was incredible, a small amount of folks thought it was a bit too blue. Either way I think we can all agree it was an overwhelming sight for Eren to wake up to!



Erwin’s eyes are bluer!

Gorgeous but underwhelming compared to shirtless Eren’s beauty

I believed it was going to be more shiny. In the manga Eren wasn’t able to tell if that was day or night because the crystals were shining a lot.

I love how they tied the cave with the crystal we saw Annie make, but i always imagined it as the green glowing rocks we saw in the ACWNR Ova. Still great though.

Looks like Elsa’s ice castle

So much blue… I mean, I know that it’ll be blue but I imagined that a little bit different. But seriously I don’t know what’s I was expecting XD

Too blue, but still Breathtaking!

i was expecting a different colour/shade but still pretty cool





WHO WORE THEIR CHAINS BETTER?

400 Responses

Looks like ¾ths of respondents thought Eren wore the chains better. Can we please stop seeing our fave characters in chains though?







BEST CELEBRATION REACTION?

403 Responses

Springles definitely take the gold and silver here with Connie’s kick and Sasha using Mikasa as ‘support’ for her jump of joy! Third place was Levi with his characteristic lack of reaction.







THIS WAS ANOTHER DIALOGUE HEAVY EPISODE. HOW DO YOU THINK THE EXPOSITION WAS HANDLED?

398 Responses







Looks like the majority of viewers thought getting more exposition this week was necessary and made sense, but we’re looking forward to the upcoming action in the next few episodes!

All the talk was necessary for the story. We can’t always have action, especially in this arc. But this kind of talk is over I think and we’re going to have a lot of juicy flashbacks next and I’m looking forward to that!

I think they crammed as much talking as they could to the last 3 episodes to get the political drama done and get to the real action.

It kinda made sense, but I’d like to see more action next time

THAT WAS THE BEST EP IN WHOLE ANIME, THAT WAS THE PEAK OF THEIR ABILITIES PROBABLY!!

The manga was better tham this shit





HOW RELATABLE IS THE FACE ZACKLEY MADE?

399 Responses

This crack question was pretty much tied for first place, with 41% reacting with ‘lmao yikes™’ and close to 40% of respondents saying Zackley’s face is a Mood and - either way we all related to Erwin’s ‘huh?’ here.







WHAT’S YOUR REACTION TO SHIRTLESS EREN?

395 Responses

This question had responses all over the board with first place being those thankful for WIT doing his muscles justice and second being more of a *shrug*. The rest of the responses were… pretty much thirst.







HERE IS OUR OBLIGATORY “HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP” QUESTION.

395 Responses

Looks like 53% of the manga reader fandom are very much enjoying the season so far and 28% are content. That’s a big change from episode two where only 15% of respondents were enjoying it.







HOW DID YOU FEEL ABOUT FLEGEL CONFRONTING THE PRESS INSTEAD OF HANGE AND MOBLIT?

397 Responses





Hange and Moblit’s role being passed to Flegel in the press confrontation was a change that the majority of voters didn’t really have an opinion about, though those that did would have preferred the anime to stay faithful to the manga here.

Better because they managed to make the subplot smaller without completely ruining it

Dissapointed but understandable bc of his earlier scenes being cut

Don’t like the fact they leave out the whole story on the reporter

Either ways are fine for me. I’m just feel bad for Dime Reeves.

I prefer the Hange/Moblit version, but I wasn’t upset at the Flegel version.

I think that they made a mistake by changing this scene. It made press people less important in my opinion. I liked that old man was scared, confused and stuff. Here, they just told him a few words and job done! I’m really dissapointed :(

I’m glad he got a little bigger role to play and he was more badass. This way maybe he won’t be forgotten so fast.

I’m more concerned about the fact they reduced the whole subplot of the media staying quiet for fear of the government to a single flashback scene. Kinda diminishes the message that “everyone’s small contribution can make a change”, but I’ll let it slide since the pacing is being improved

It definitely shows Flegel’s development as a character, but I missed that Hange-Moblit action

Prefer isn’t the right word. This was my favorite arc for Hange, so I wanted their moments of badassery captured as much as possible, but I found the Flegel substitution very fitting. I like how they’ve propped up Flegel in this adaptation!

Why not Flegel AND Hanji and Mobilt?





DO YOU THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE ZACKLEY’S PIECE OF ART?

400 Responses

Only 17% of respondents think were going to get the shit machine, while the rest thing it either won’t make an appearance or will be censored or replaced by another form of torture.







WHICH SCENE FROM THE PV ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK?

403 Responses

Over half the respondents are looking forward to Grisha killing the Reiss family - god this fandom is morbid - and second place goes to Kenny’s flashbacks. We say - why not both? The next episode is going to be a wild ride emotionally. Buckle up.







Thanks again to everyone who participated! We’ll see you again on Monday!
