12. Part 2 of Reaction to "Attack on Titan" S4E1: "The Other Side of the Ocean"

It's an intimidating prospect to take on the challenge of continuing a series that already has a devoted fanbase and stellar reputation, especially if you're talking about taking the reins as the new sheriff in town after the previous one was so beloved. Is MAPPA going to be up to the job of carrying on WIT Studio's legacy, or is it going to be Disney all over again? Also, Heaven help me…did I actually cheer for Marley?! This is one of those episodes where the comment section will be open on YouTube, so feel free to sound off there! HOWEVER...if you're a manga reader, PLEASE make sure to properly mark off and hide from view any Season 4 spoilers you wish to share (that is, use a spoiler warning and make sure the spoiler material itself is below the "read more" tag). I do plan on moderating comments to try and help people avoid getting accidentally spoiled regarding Season 4. And if you're a troll who wants to deliberately do that for "fun"? …I'll respond accordingly. All right, folks. Shinzou wo sasageyo!! Content Notice: This episode is in the PG range, as I will be referencing some topics that are not child-friendly, but nothing graphic. The show itself is definitely an R/TV-MA series, however, and I would recommend a minimum age of 15 or so. That is chiefly due to violence, mainly of the action type. That aspect gets very intense. There's some strong language here and there, but not to where it's really noteworthy, and as far as I can recall, there's been no graphic nudity or sexual content thus far, though there are certain other content caveats mentioned in my review.
