>>3926963Oh right, the infamous yo-yo scene. It's treated like a damn Counterspell whenever the topic of Annie's motivations is brought up, as I once saw another Anniefag point out lul. True, it's hard to talk about this without spoiling Marley or at least the Marco flashback in S3. I loved her since day one, but prior to those two reveals, even I used to believe she had an undeniable sadistic side to her. You don't start seeing the FT arc in a different light until much later. The OVA is great but likely won't compel people who already hate Annie to watch it, and we both know the anime did a poor job at making her likeable to the average viewer.
Yeah, in Trost she is cornered, desperate, and just wants to go home. In contrast to her apparent mercilessness during the expedition, she's visibly distressed over crushed civilians when Eren tossed her into the church. It's the moment when she transitions from intimidating antagonist to troubled teenage girl (literally) driven to the wall.
>>3926851I have to admit AA gets a ton of disarmingly cute art, even if I'm not a fan of it. Guess that's to be expected when the most popular ship for both of them becomes canon.
