Attack on Titan (TV Series) Children of the Forest (2021) User Reviews

The veil between Eren and the audience

[sherjan-aamir · 10/10 · 8 March 2021]

I loved how Eren was used as a narrator throughout the series until season 4. He was used to guide the audience to explain what was happening and how much information was conveyed to us. We always knew what Eren felt and couldn't help but feel the same.

Season 1 - Eren finds out the there are other titan shifters besides him,the audience finds out with him.

Season 2 - Eren gets betrayed by Reiner and Bertolt,the audience feels the same disgust and feeling of being misled.

Season 3 - The entire world is revealed to Eren and we as the audience could never look at the world (AOT) the same way again.

Now come to season 4, they kept hobo Eren well hidden for an episode or two and did not let us understand his feelings. Our entire perspective was carried by Reiner until the famous "Declaration of War" scene and even after that,we couldn't understand why Eren was doing what he was doing. So far,we have gotten various explanations for his actions by Levi,Mikasa,Armin or Yelena but next week,the man himself finally sits down and talks to not just Mikasa and Armin but to us,the audience he has betrayed and left behind and right now we are as clueless as Mikasa and Armin. The storytelling is unmatched when it comes to this show.

Proof that you don't need much action for an amazing aot episode

[ThomasP909 · 10/10 · 7 March 2021]

This episode had amazing tension and great writing and direction by both Isayama and MAPPA. I can't wait till next week.

Amazing episode

[polinboston · 10/10 · 7 March 2021]

This episode is one of the best in this season. It's absolutely incredible.

The perfect set up.

[harrisonjfox · 7 March 2021]

This episode was so well written, tensions were running high and all the political themes in this arc came to a high point. However above all this was the perfect set up for next week's episode. Which will becomes one of the best of the whole show without a doubt.

Please consider anime in TV awards!!

[Abdalwahab-93 · 10/10 · 9 March 2021]

This episode is just perfect and AOT deserve to be nominated in a lot of TV awards for prefect directing & storytelling.

10/10

SOUNDTRACKS

[laraibiabderrezak · 10/10 · 7 March 2021]

The episode was great i really enjoyed the build up with the plot too the soundtracks were AMAZING and perfectly used reminded me of previous seasons

Gabi doesn't deserve Falco

[adambeee · 10/10 · 9 March 2021]

Falco has quickly turned into one of my favourite characters, after only seeing him in a very small portion of the series. This episode shows exactly why. Also, I find it funny how Mikasa saves Gabi because she's literally Eren lmao. The emotions in the episode were top tier as well as everything else (as usual). This show continues to get better and better every single episode and it's the most rewatchable series I've ever come across.

ITS GOING DOWN

[qatarnehabdallah · 10/10 · 7 March 2021]

Cant wait to see what happens. That music by the way gah amazing

Unexpectedly the best episode of the season so far

[aaacampero · 10/10 · 7 March 2021]

I really liked the episode about kaya, the declaration of war, assault, and assassins gun, but THIS episode was insane with the direction, the expressions, and the music. Really well done and created the perfect tension needed for next episode

Has to be a 10

[yuzheli-48061 · 10/10 · 8 March 2021]

Dude I don't understand people who don't rate this as 10. It really discusses the cruelty of war in reality

10/10

[mazne-18475 · 10/10 · 8 March 2021]

Maaaan i just want to pass out and wake up next Sunday

AoT is also a compelling drama

[loydawearssilk_ · 10/10 · 8 March 2021]

The buildup of so many emotions and different ideologies come to the full effect of a train crash and it's both intense and emotional. No emotion feels forced. Not just from the voice acting, but speaking story wise. Everything has a domino effect and everything is connected the same way life is. This episode was packed with smashing moments and tearful ones. This episode helped many still doubting the direction of the story right back and that slow burns have satisfying and compelling scenes. Animation and music. Chef kiss.

It was like a bomb went off!!

[applejackjed · 7 March 2021]

This episode was literally insane. One insane thing kept on happening after another. This episode was a great catalyst for what's next to come, and what's next to come is gonna be seismic

we are all children of the forest

[tea_in_a_cup · 10/10 · 7 March 2021]

25 minutes felt like 5 minutes in this episode. The forest metaphor was so poignant and on-point that it brought tears to my eyes. The whole sequence of Nicolo's rage and thirst for revenge was incredibly tense. There is nothing more heartbreaking than to witness the breakdown of a man's psyche as he started to lose his humanity to grudge and anger. Nicolo is no evil. Nicolo is all of us as we grieve the death of our beloved.

The small revelation about Zeke's plan also sent chills down my spines. And to top it off, Eren's nonchalant waltz into the room left my jaws agape. What a wonderful way to end this episode.

Attack on Titan once again proves that it does not need to rely on beautiful fighting sequences to keep the audience engaged. Its ability to capture our attention with narrative prowess and complexity repeatedly surpasses my expectations.

Japanese voice actors showing there talent

[anikethota · 9/10 · 8 March 2021]

This episode was quite emotional. The best thing about this episode was the voice actors everyone was just phenomenal.

That's what Attack on Titan it's all about!

[joaomarcosbfc · 10/10 · 8 March 2021]

The moral of the story throughout this anime was revealed by Sasha's father. What a powerful message Attack on Titan gives us. This episode was tense from beginning to end and we are increasingly surprised by the genius of this anime. I have to go back to praising the MAPPA studio for the perfect job they have been doing. The animation continues to improve with each episode, the music is perfect, the direction is perfect, everything is perfect. Attack on Titan is perfect.

The Morality of the War

[CinemaFX · 10/10 · 30 March 2021]

The hunting and killing has been going on for long. Is this really justified that eventually we keep coming in circles of- this killed my loved one, my family and on and on. We have been looking a lot through the eyes of revenge and when we get to the point when it starts resembling the very start, we are questioned... Are you the Children of the Forest?

One of the Most Raw Moments of the Series

[BadgerStorm4345 · 10/10 · 8 March 2021]

The intensity of the voice acting in this episode matched the emotion presented through the characters perfectly. This episode was a fantastic adaptation of Chapter 111 and 112. All of the reveals with insane and the character development for Gabi was some of the best we've seen from any character in the series.

You simply cannot rate this lower than a 10!

[bhcvhfsrhd · 10/10 · 7 March 2021]

This episode was one of the best we've ever had (in my opinion). This episode has genuinely left me gobsmacked! I literally CANNOT wait 1 whole week for the next episode, I don't know what to do with myself until then. This is the greatest anime ever...

I had goosebumps the entire time

[iamanoob0 · 10/10 · 10 May 2021]

To be honest this episode is probably my favorite or one of my favorite episodes in all of AoT. Just how tense everything is, the chills, and the absolutely brilliant way that all the dots connected. Man this storytelling is on godlike levels.

Shocking & Devastating

[keraghel_mehdi · 10/10 · 8 March 2021]

-The events continue to be more shocking and It takes us into another difficult experience that defines the true essence of Attack on Titan now that It's the point of no return -The rythme escalates 📈 and with it the level of Thrill and the Fear of What could be the next blast -intense confrontation that makes this season's plot even more profound and not easy to get over with , and that's another thing that makes this anime more unique and special

• The characters of Blaus , Nicolo , Gabi witnessed their most crucial Moments so far now that they are confronted to the painful truth as it stands , the Sequence that it was preceded by a long & proper Build-up along the previous eps that set the ground for what happened just yet and what will happen further more and that served the Episode so well 👌

-The visuals and the animation are so vivid that they bring the characters closer to us -Moving Soundtrack ❤🎶 -And that big reveal was one of the most schocking & devastating moments of The entire anime along with another Memorable moments that stand in our memories And that's what the Author is good the most at it , Plotting every single detail and then investing it all in the moments that represent the biggest dramatic turns each time

Insanely Tense

[calzonelamrthefirst · 10/10 · 7 March 2021]

The way tension was built up in this episode was phenomenal from start to finish. Gabi and Floch were the stars in terms of character development. Brilliantly wrote- what lacked in action was made up with strong storytelling. Expecting big things for the last 3 episodes.

Emotions Overload

[shantanuchauhan-14755 · 10/10 · 7 March 2021]

Arguably the most emotional episode of the season. And brilliantly crafted too. The pace, the animation (which is usually good with AoT), the BGM & last but not the least, the story. All top notch. Kudos to the writer for penning this masterpiece. And hat's off to Mappa for bringing this to life.

Perfect even without titans

[bloodhunter-58130 · 10/10 · 8 March 2021]

This episode was fire. I was sad then shock then angry then sad and emothinal. I loved it

I wanted...to talk to you guys!

[marveller-66 · 10/10 · 10 March 2021]

Hell yeah. This ep features one of the most amazing plot-twist in AOT. The next episode is going to be frickin' epic, im sure as hell. Because it's going to be perfect as this show. Amazing animation quality, incredible plot, heartbreaking moments, exceptional music and so on. I love this show.
