Uncut AOT 3 x 16

I feel like I've been punched in the face by Isayama repeatedly whilst at the same time thanking him for the pleasure and privilege of such an experience.

Comments

Ervin’s speech at the end of this episode is one of my favourite quotes of all times. When I was struggling with depression I used to listen to it over and over again because it helped me to stay focused on surviving my inner battle. I love this episode and I like Ervin for the decision that he made in the end. Thank you for your reaction. I was waiting for so long to see it.

Now I want an AOT Iron Maiden edit

Nope - I've never read anything by Lord Tennyson :) As a Dr of Literature I specialise in a specific topic, but also throughout my studies we read that many authors I definitely cannot remember everything haha. I also leant more into literature than poetry!

Sophie Anders

When I saw this episode for the 1st time what popped into my head was this was a scene straight out of the poem called "Charge of the Light Brigade." "Ours is not to reason why, Ours is but to do and die." As a Dr. of Literature I wonder if you're familiar with that poem by Lord Tennyson about a suicide charge?

Funny you mention possibly needing therapy. There is a YT channel called Reaction Therapy where a veteran therapist is just beginning and already struggling to react to AOT LOL.

Raul Iggynashow

Ah, I see, didn't know that, thanks

Eaves are part of a roof. Bert is dropping roofs all over the place, so... eavesdropping

draeonic 🪼

Honestly I'm not a native english speaker so I didn't actually get the joke with the "eavesdropping" translation haha

Aki Himura

I thought "eavesdropping" was a decent attempt, considering

draeonic 🪼

Honestly it might have been a more effective tactic

draeonic 🪼

she's gonna have so much "fun" next episode lol

KaladinStormLight

100% agree!

Sally

This episode displays something I've been wanting to comment for a while: that Armin's not a leader, because he lacks the decisiveness to put others in danger. He's an advisor; Jean's the leader (who needs the advice.)

draeonic 🪼

I personally actually stopped reading manga after that chapter when it came out🤣🤣🤣

Anastasia Lipgart

its easier to get riled up in if you can directly understand it however I do think some ambiguity/nuance is lost in the different dubs

HAL

I realized early that you have a much better time with aot if you root for the story to be good rather than for your favorite cahracters to survive but... some of them still hit me anyways

HAL

I love how you stated that in order to continue watching aot you need a therapist 😂. Thats so funny and relatable. I think a big part of what makes aot reactions so amazing is that the viewers love to see the reactors suffer, but dont worry Sophie.. we are here suffering with you 😅.

daragh faro

When you said "Bite his ankles", I feel like that came straight from the heart lmaooo You are hilarious

Jordan

"I'm going to miss Erwin. And his horse, and his balls of steel, and his eyebrows." 😭😂😭😂 Not me crying and then laughing when you said this! Those eyebrows are iconic.

Hannah

Man, what a good ending to the show! It ends right at Erwin’s death. How avant-garde.

Adam Young

Despite how amazing the previous episodes and seasons were, this episode feels, to me, like the "point of no return". The amount of dead, how much higher the stakes feel, makes me feel that in my bones. I am also 100% sure this is where I would die if I was a character in this world, don't know if anyone else feels this. The "emergency rookies" and Erwin are showered by rocks but it is our hearts that get thorn to pieces! Remember, we don't always laugh at the same things but, when we mourn, we all mourn! A hug to you Sophie, but to all the other people that are living this again. It never truly gets easier <3 PS: Nice comment about Erwin's eyebrows. He has the best eyebrows in the business! (Bet Naruto fans will not like this, but it is true xD)

Lemon

*hugs* i feel you. 😭 This episode deserves our reaction.

tonkatsu

ToT can’t wait next episode. First trinity of episodes of AoT 16,17,18 It’s very intense, very iconic

Zarayut Ziri

Unpopular opinion, Erwin scene at the end....I think this man's dub is the only I've seen that hits harder than the original 😭. Please Sophie you should consider to rewatch this particular episode in dub, just for the final speech 👌. ''Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced the cruelty of this world!'' . I would die for my commander if he gave this speech, especially if that music is playing in the background too. 😤

Mickael Landry

My heart 💔

Violet

The god level trio of episodes. 16, 17 and 18.

Hippopi

Highly recommend you also watch the speech in dub. The sub version is amazing no question, but by god does the speech hit different when you hear it in your own language and erwin's english va is incredible.

GMP Chemist

That scene of Bert on the wall I thought it was Marcel and thought it was some symbolism or something haha

Hippopi

i want to hug you so bad :((((

Alex Mercer

Ah the infamous "my soldiers rage" episode...!

Dagmar Makara

With this motivation I am ready to jump in the front row with Erwin 🫡

Super Nenechi

with how many time i've rewatched this show i've become pretty good at holding my mask and not cry at many of this shows saddest moments, but erwins speech at the end of this episode has not once failed at making me sob my face off. absolutely heart wrenching

Alma

It is going to be difficult staying patient waiting for the rest of this season. This episode kicks off such back to back bangers of episodes. One of the lines that I feel like needs so much more attention in this episode than it gets generally is Levi saying "I'm making the choice". It is his final gift to Erwin. Levi's life is defined by moments where he has had to make a choice that turned out terribly, that cost him precious friends like Farlan Church and Isobel Magnolia. Here he makes the decision to remove the burden from Erwin's shoulders and make it his own. All the lives of the recruits, Erwin's life, the blood is on Levi's hands, and because of his history we know that was the choice he felt he would regret the least. Thanks for another wonderful reaction <3

Anna Kyruin

Best anime ever it just gets better and better and very emotional after this episode the good thing is that you don't had to wait years to see it like us hope you enjoyed

Frank Sanchez

You aren't wrong - he emphasises the horror of war perfectly and how pointless violence truly is in that it means nothing. There are no victors here.

Sophie Anders

I feel a little crazy with this take, but I've always found little Floch's panic-speech in this episode to be even more relevant and important to the themes of the show than the speech Erwin gives later. It's ALMOST a shame how really great moments get overshadowed by others, but I can't get too mad because it just means the show is even more excellent!

Merry

My Albert Camus / Absurdism loving self always gets giddy listening to Erwin’s final speech! So many similarities. Edit: Also, the amount of hardstyle songs that use both the dub and sub versions of the speech is insane. I think I have 20+ songs on my Spotify alone that are just Erwin’s speech with different hardstyle beats behind it. Amazing for the gym PR’s.

Kevin

I cried whilst editing the video. Not even ashamed :')

Sophie Anders

The speech of strong enough to make everyone choose to follow him, and his charge is one of the moments I keep watching and cry every time, because it's such a strong scene, the voice acting, the music, the heroic sacrifice... he knows he has to go forward to make his troops follow him

ML Snow

Ah damn!! I'm glad you told me though!!

Sophie Anders

I cried whilst editing!

Sophie Anders

im crying with u sophie this episode breaks me everytime

vikkkky!

That scene with Conny laughing at the very beginning is actually a pun that unfortunately couldn't be translated. He talks about Eren's house being destroyed, the sentence ends with "Eren no Ye ga" ("ye" = house"), but "Ye ga" sounds exactly like how they pronounce "Yeager" (Eren Yeager) lol

Aki Himura

The tension headache I had after filming these 2 episodes back to back was rough!!

Sophie Anders

I´m so excited for this and the next episodes!! :D
