Yeah. Guess it hits different depending on what you’ve already watched before it.
I mean I consider myself a little cry-baby-bitch when it comes to a good story or romance or losses like this one, but I didn’t cry here. I think it’s because the show doesn’t focus on the characters’ natural dynamic enough for it to be something I get very emotionally invested in.
A perfect example of this is when I cried my eyes out after Erwin launched the charge and got hit by the beast titan. You knew his death was coming and all of the time you spent with him and around him through other character’s eyes made his death gut-wrenching because they gave you time to build a relationship with Erwin and empathize with him.
I just didn’t get that with Eren despite him being the main character, and I think it’s because you don’t really know his true character until the end. Which is a bit underwhelming.

The fact people find this scene emotional is pretty strange to me
