Attack on Titan: S3 E11 (48)

Ok, maybe 48 Episodes in, this might be a little late, but I think with all the lore drop it might help you to recap shortly the previous episode, before diving into a new one. The AoT Wiki does have a short synopsis of each episode (Spoiler-free). I will try posting the synopsis for you under each new episode, so that in the following week, you can read it if you want (if not, just ignore it...). Here we go, what happened in Episode 48: "Two months have passed since Historia Reiss's coronation. She has started a farm to take care of the orphans and the needy. The military has also been overhauled. They now have a new weapon that allows them to kill Titans without risking the lives of soldiers and new recruits have joined the Scout Regiment. At Jean Kirschtein's prompting, Eren Jaeger tries to remember the Scout who appeared in his father's memory and realizes that it is Commandant Keith Sadies of the Cadet Corps. Eren, his squad, Levi, and Hange visit Keith and hear his story of how he discovered Grisha Jaeger outside of Wall Maria twenty years ago. The two became friends, and Grisha inspired Keith to think he was special. However, Keith suffered many failures, both in his personal life and as an officer, and came to realize he was not special at all. He was with Grisha the night Wall Maria fell, and carried Eren out of the woods after Grisha had taken him there. Keith hoped that Eren would avoid becoming like his father, but even though he sabotaged Eren's training gear when he was a cadet, Eren would not give up. As Eren leaves in the present day, Keith realizes he could not change anything."

Most viewers watch Dubs. Most viewers here watch subs cause that's what you've been doing. Sites that stream both sub and dub consistently show data that 60-70% of viewers watch dubs when available. Sub reactions are much harder for the majority of the english speaking anime community to engage with, especially ones with visual/reading disabilities and make it impossible to put on in the background which is a common way to consume reaction content. Sub elitism (the idea that subs are objectively superior or that "all dubs are bad") is a well known and deep rooted issue within the community and a lot of the arguments used are either outdated, pretentious or gatekeeping new people from enjoying it. Please just watch it how you are comfortable and the audience will adapt to you. Absolutely nothing you gain from the Sub will outweigh what you lose in context if you are missing things. A lot of these sub watchers have watched subbed anime since they were children and it is second nature. It will not come that natural to you in a reasonable time. I've seen loads of reactors get harassed for watching dubs (not saying that's the case here, this community is obviously anomalously nice), switch to subs then just quit anime all together. Just make sure you are watching subs because YOU think YOU will enjoy it more and understand it better.

ATTACK ON TUESDAY(Wednesday now😔)

Side note, brother, please, can you get a Mod or "Editor" to run thru your Patreon and AT LEAST Tag everything? And at Best organized all of your Playlist individually, because it's impossible to find anything, specially if I'm only looking for 1 thing and god forbid it has multiple episodes....

Attack on Tuesday! ❤️‍🔥 Regarding what you said about having viewers from different communities: I agree that people will usually click on what interests them most. But, as someone already mentioned in the comments, you still only have 24 hours in a day 😅 I cannot speak for everyone, but personally, I saw you on YouTube and joined here not because of a specific type of content, but because I was curious to see how you would watch and react to a specific type of content 😌 I do not think there are any strict criteria that a reaction content creator needs to aim for. And honestly, it does not really matter how exactly you consume the content(sub/dub). The main thing is that it feels comfortable and enjoyable for you 😌 Also, thanks to the director of this episode for putting what is, in my humble and subjective opinion, the BEST ending in the series in the last scene so we finally got to listen to it in full🌚 even if it was playing in the background🌚😌

I think the Commander tried to sabotage Eren to protect him because he knew his mom wouldn’t want him in the scouts

I think you forgot Eren’s dad was a titan. We learned that when he was chained up with Historia and her dad. He killed historia’s sister

Regarding the comments about "maybe reacting to anime shows is not for me and blabla". I disagree. When it comes to reacting having open mind to experience new stuff and having genuine rection is most important. Now I think you have those qualities in your reactions when it comes to music and shows. Obviously with music there is your own expertise but when it comes to any ost the context is important and it would be a shame if show/(game?) reactions were not part of your content. Now that does not necessarily mean you should have 4 different show react going on at the same time. focusing more on a one or two at a time could be the best. Or even just one show and movies at a side. Yea attack on titan is a show where you do have to lock in if you want to have a good grasp of the story. Some character lie, some don't tell the whole truth and our main characters don't have any clue either . Also at times information comes at you fast. Not to worry tough the show will give you all the answer you could have eventually. Most of the people watching had no idea about the reveals and plot twist before they happened when watching the first time. I myself stopped watching when it was airing since there was 4 year cap between seasons. I could not follow or remember any side characters. the only reason I had a good idea what was going on is because I binged this show in a week when you started this react.

Attack on Tuesday! Keith's backstory is so fascinating because he, like the audience at this point, only knows a small part of the story with Dr. Jaeger. Many things set up here will make much more sense later. Now, to clarify some things: 1. Eren's dad was a titan. We learned this a few episodes ago from the memories Eren saw when he was in the crystal caves. He stole the power of the Founding Titan from Historia's sister, Frieda, and then Eren got it from him. This is an important detail that I think you forgot with all the other crazy stuff that's been happening. 2. That moment where Eren woke up with the key, that was shown way back in episode 2, and now we have a better idea of how he got it. 3. When Keith said "it was your fault", he was blaming Dr. Jaeger for making him think he was special. Also, most episodes have a next episode preview at the end, you just haven't been seeing them because you don't watch through the end credits. This episode played the end credits over the end of the episode which is why you saw it this time. Speaking of which, be sure to watch all the way through the credits next episode, you'll see why ;)
