I'm so confused.

Think it through from where we left off last season. It's straightforward so don't try to add complications.

It's literally the present.

It's literally Reiner and Zeke.

It's literally WAR!

That was a long time ago since I saw that.  If we had picked up with Eren and co. again it would be easier to follow.

So a time skip happened and we're going to have more flashbacks again?  Why is this series allergic to telling things in chronological order?  Reiner looks YEARS older.

The last thing we saw was the passing of several seasons at the end of last season and Reiner and Zeke retreating (now confirmed they retreated back across the sea back home)

Nah. This is chronological, this is no flashback.

Is that so?  I know Reiner and Zeke escaping but don't remember the passage of seasons.

Right, but knowing this show, since there was a big time skip, it will probably flashback to stuff that happened during it.

Actually I guess it was probably just a few months since it goes from green to snow and back to green before the Scouts ventured back out and reached the sea.

But presumably after they found it they probably need a little time skip to catch their breath after those massive losses in that last battle. They'll probably tell us exactly how long it's been.

Now that you mention it I think I recall some time passing in that last episode.  I do hope we are given an actual time frame at some point.

Yeah, we'll probably get something more specific but we do have Reiner and Zeke looking a bit older, even beyond the adjusted art style. And at the same time we know all shifters have a time limit so it can't be that long either.

Hey, that language! Remember the can in Season 2 which Reiner could tell said "Herring"?

It was written in Marleyan!!

That must have been a really old can of herring!

So this is a totally different war against another nation that has nothing to do with the war we've been following the whole show?

Reiner looks way older to me.  I wasn't sure on the art style changing.  I need to see someone more familiar first.  The shifters have a time limit?  Was it a time limit of their lifespan or how long they can be in Titan form?

Lifespan.

Eren learned from the path knowledge that after someone becomes a shifter they have 13 years from when they acquired the power. Armin now too, starting from when he ate Bertholdt.

To me part of it is art style due to the change in studio and character designer but there is also a time skip component to the designs looking older now too (supposedly the new time skip designs are adapted more from the manga but since I've always preferred the Kyoji Asano WIT anime designs more than the manga I would have liked to have seen WIT's version of these too).

If I remember correctly, it was maybe a year and a half. I do have that episode on my DVR. I started to go home early and watch Season 3B last night on my DVR instead of Wild Card NFL Football, but yeah, those Bucs are good!

FFS why do they already have the freaky Titan faces before they even transform?!

They were probably drugged off their asses.

4 year skip apparently.

I swear every time I've checked in on this show it's gone in a completely different direction. Does the story even remotely resemble what it started out as anymore?
