Its a good ep. usually most flash backs(in other anime) are butchered and cut short. 10/10 for me in this ep.
But damn!! The way that defiant class ran it just traumatic!!

Those bastards killed the last full-blooded Asian person in existence, apparently.
I wish that Mikasa would've just killed the ass blocking the gate outright; it would've made sense considering the situation and be easy to cover up as another nameless victim of the Titans. Also, I'm slightly more convinced now that Eren is dead forever, but overall I still think it's unlikely since he's featured so strongly in the OP and ED and has had the most character development/focus so far. Killing off the MC is just one of those rules that you don't break. Clearly it's because his balls dropped prematurely. |

Violence is the last thing in the world we should ever celebrate. It may be necessary at times, but it's always a necessary evil at best. |

Nothing wrong with that, plenty of other great shows/mangas have done that before to great success! It's a breath of fresh air tbh. |

Good episode, I'm glad that they chose a slow pacing, but there were many little things that I couldn't help noticing and being sad about.
The art is beautiful as it's usually the case with I.G. but the time constraints and the lack of personnel can really be seen in the amount of still images that we get. It's a real pity because this anime deserves more. I also found that the OST wasn't really fitting for this particularly dramatic and emotional episode. They've got a lot of good tracks for the epic and action scenes but the rest is really forgettable. Also the censorship is seriously starting to bug me. Are they trying to make this viewable by little children, I wonder? I don't get it. No matter how you water it down, this story isn't something I would suggest to a little kid. So why are they going to such extremes to censor gruesome wounds? Spoiler for manga comparison:

It's not the violence, but some viewers' reactions to the violence that disturbs me.
The idea that Eren is somehow more heroic and better than "generic shounen heroes" because of this childhood tragedy boggles me. There's nothing heroic at all about being stupidly reckless. To me, this episode only serves to cement my view of Eren as an annoying brat who doesn't know his place. |

1) EP 5, Eren's recklessness saved Armin and killed him (and it's up for debate that he also got his squad killed) 2) EP 6, Eren's recklessness saved Miakasa and almost killed him.

It's very clear that my worldview differs greatly from that of some people here.

To be fair, the anime doesn't portray it as something good. But viewers being viewers, they'd gloss it over in favour of the GAR-ness of it all, while forgetting that we're talking about nine-year-olds here. Is their loss of innocence really something to be happy about? |

Also, unlike the older Eren, young Eren didn't simply charge into the place. He was quite calculated. First, he pretended to be lost to survey the surrounding, and got a clean kill when the adult bent down so that Eren can reach his vitals. Then he backed off, closing the door, so that the pursuer has no view of his position. Then he used a knife attached to a broom to surprise his opponent and reach his heart. Eren miscalculated because he didn't see the third man. So unlike the older Eren that ran after the Titans, he was quite smart in his approach. |
