Aside from the usual situational quandary, the perfect utilization of the concept of perspective, of sonder, of the ideological abstraction, this had something... more? It was touching in some way. I'm not sure if this is just me reading too much into it or not but the emotional depth these characters have is impressive. It is such an effortless thing to do as is to sympathize with 2-dimensional characters and to feel and think about their motives. It felt terrible when Mikasa just decided to leave the scarf behind. A lot has happened in the episode, but this subtle detail has so much buildup behind it, so much development behind it like a 600 page novel with a sad ending only showing in the final pages, like a decade of love just slipping away. It was just sad.
There were a couple of terrible cuts in this, to be honest, not well done, Mappa.
Probably has one of the most suspenseful cliffhangers the show has and how complicated it is, is just a sign of how well designed the world is.
