one thing that i love about annie is that she allows herself to cry.
growing up with a father like hers and then training in the warriors unit was a very harsh experience. annie is seen as an emotionless woman and yet she is the warrior that cries the most out of everyone.
she cried when they took eren from her, realising that she killed a big amount of people for nothing and that she couldn’t go back to her father because the mission wasn’t done yet.
annie is a very strong and independent woman and crying isn’t seen as a weakness in her eyes. annie cries, annie gets frustrated, annie gets mad.
also in this scene she feels SO upset that not only she is crying, but the titan itself. i think it reflects well enough how deep her pain is.
she cries when she gets defeated and realises that she needs to crystallise herself to survive: she doesn’t know if her comrades will save her or when she’ll have the occasion to get out safely. she thought she could finally go home and see her father, but her only wish (and reason to keep living) now looks so far.
as i said before, annie is seen as an emotionless and cold character. yes, reiner, berthold and other characters also cry, but the fact that SHE also does it is the demonstration of how deeply she actually feels things and how her nonchalant behaviour is just a way of trying to protect herself from her own actions.
