Hello Again, Apologies if these reviews become shorter or less interesting but I only discovered this website recently so I'm ranking and reviewing Anime's that I watched months ago all at once, even my start and end dates are likely wrong, the general order is correct but it shows i finished some in a very suspicious amount of time, forgive me as well if i forget major plot points or don't discuss some parts of the seasons, hell i might even mix the two season 3 parts up a bit so please bare with. That being said lets crack on,
Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 1, from here on out everything was new to me in 2021 ( check previous reviews to understand) so i was very excited to see how Attack on Titan had continued on since i last saw it and boy was i in for a surprise. To be honest there were some points during this Season i got a bit confused, this didn't affect my overall enjoyment but it should be said, i think the whole Historia situation mainly confused me just as i still was thinking of her as Christa.
The entire season however was absolutely amazing, we got arguably the best Levi moment against Kenny's Squad, a character who may have come out of the shadows but made an everlasting impact on the entire story, not only did we get to learn more about Levi and how he was raised, but Kenny's role in this Season led to our beloved characters getting proper HUMAN blood on their hands and boy does it change the atmosphere, to suddenly go from weird naked human titans being killed to their fellow humans it definitely changes their character arcs and makes the situation a lot more scary as these are smaller, more agile targets who are likely as trained and skilled as they are. Believe me when i say that this entire situation is amazing and a reason why i love this season so much.
We also have the development in Eren's story, learning about his Dads titan power and the Reiss family's secrets that control the people of the walls. Just more amazing story expansion that was beautifully set up by Season 2. Also the entire crystal cave environment was a perfectly crafted area that really shows the beauty of anime and is one of my favourite areas.
Other than that there is obviously the actual government parts, putting the survey corps on a wanted list was a major turning point that you would never expect, considering that this is supposedly the last of humanity, to make the group who strive to secure humanity's future fugitives shows the corruption of the government and as the series develops, we begin to question the truth of the lives they lead. New characters such as Marlo and Hitch were a pleasant surprise and both of them are quite enjoyable to watch, especially interacting with one another. The actual overthrowing of the government was a great plan as well and had me hyped seeing them realize they had been tricked was pure satisfaction.
What else happened? I just looked up when Hannes died, turned out that was Season 2 damn i missed that entire Coordinate part for my review, whoops. I'll cover it now i guess. The importance of Eren's titan powers were always assumed to be the fact that he fought for humanities future, but seeing that other titan shifters are actively searching for him and the power he holds suggests that he is even more important than expected, and to see the brief control he suddenly has over titans completely caught me off guard and also makes Eren even more valuable but dangerous.
I realise i haven't done character reviews for each Season but ill save that for Season 4 and give a proper review of their entire Arcs. Next Up is my absolute favourite Season Part
Thanks for Reading
