It's been years since I've seen most of this arc but holy hell is it as amazing as I remember it.

See the Female titan is on a rampage trying to get to Eren. Eren, lead by Levi and his group are doing their best to get away from her. However, she seems always one step ahead. Every moment she races forward, going through multiple people, the more heart racing moments build. The climax is as epic as you'd expect but just when you think we'll get a breather we head right into the consequences of that arc. Then once we finish all that we head out to the different members of Eren's group and see them survive.

I will say the one weaker point is Sasha's story. Not horrible but just okay. It feels slow but with purpose as to build her character. Same with Connie's storyline but there's SO much underlying moments with Connie's story that it all makes sense.

Then we think we'll take a breather? Guess again! Incomes the titans as Ymir, Christa, Reiener and a few others get trapped inside a castle that is being invaded by titans. When their backs are against the wall what will save them? To top it all off the final few pages give a HUGE reveal and the last page is shocking as it is badass.

This is why Attack on Titan is considered one of the greatest anime of all time. The art, the story, the pacing, it's all near perfect.

A 5 out of 5.
