First of all i want to thank all the team in production that helped bring this show to life. Animators, sound department, voice actors and writers/directors etc. It's been great.
Over the past few months this series has been slammed yet again and the high rated episodes have been dropping yet again. This is an occuring problem and it's skewing how people can end up judging a show. I have watched Attack on Titan all the way through many times and each time the story just gets better and better, top tier and god like for some of the action to conclusions we have seen. The build up to this very episode has been one of the biggest in television history along side Game of Thrones and probably a few others. My anticipation has waited for this day and i can tell you the episode was NOT a disappointment.
Then said, to judge the episode in terms of ratings going by how the ratings for the rest of the show were more than half a year ago before the show got slammed by trolls, i would put this at a solid 9.6. This is where i get mixed feelings. We all want this final episode to be the best in the series but it unfortunately for me doesn't beat some of the god tier episodes we have had throughout the seasons. Nothing wrong with the action, nothing wrong with certain dialog, but it lagged in areas. It was a huge pile of story fist fed from different angles with the action and the chaos. Which skewed my vision away from the bigger picture, it seemed almost like moments of filler and theatrics just to get to that final moment (no spoiler)......and then it was suddenly over. It's like...."oh......okay, yeah it was great i guess". I feel like they should have just had the Final Chapter Part 1 be an extra 30 minutes long and done one huge episode. This well over 1 hour Part 2 seemed too long, too much dialog and not enough conclusion. That's coming from me who's been and still is a huge fan of the series.
Overall the episode was great but it seems the show reached it's peak at the start of the Rumbling, it's not been able to top since that episode. Although not for a second do i think this episode was bad, it was actually rather good just stretched out.
