if you do not know attack on titan, then you are lying because it is the most popular anime out right now period. I will not even waste any more time writing about what aot is as I am guessing all of you have heard of it
#Story
I was expecting way more to be completely honest. firstly the pacing is incredibly bad. there are entire episodes of them just talking and it is so boring to watch them just talk, now if the talk was sensical, then it might have been interesting but they just talk about random shit like one time they bring up Marco, a long-forgotten character in aot and do not even get me started on the soup scene, that shit is so boring, we are not here to watch that, we are here to see what the hell will happen with the rumbling but no, instead of doing that, you could just spend 5 episodes on the same day and think you're giving us good content. that episode with Annie and hitch was so damn boring and it was probably the worst anime episode I have ever seen. the season starts with a bang with the fight we all had been waiting for and the eren death and Zeke is a strong character in it. but no they just don't show those strong characters anywhere after the start because why would they show easily the best-written characters in this season later on instead here let's just watch characters talking for 5 episodes I'm sure that's fun, but seriously they forgot about Zeke huh, just note that I haven't seen the final episode so I cannot comment but I was so frustrated with aot that I had to get this off of my chest. the 11th episode was pretty good tho, wow who would have thought, they went back to the formula of the first few seasons, and its easily the best episode of the season wow mappa you should keep that up for the 3rd part of this show and that's right I said the third part of this season because it's just been confirmed that there will be a third part to this 4th season and I am fuming because of this. maybe they could've just kept the talking for one episode and left the other episodes to end the show in this season only but no they have to milk the shit out of the attack on titan brand so final season part 3 it is boys. I can't believe they would do this, now we have to wait another year for it to end. here are some ideas as to how they could have ended the show in this season only. firstly as I already said keep the talking to 1 episode and use the other 3 or 4 episodes to move forward with the story. and 2 make a huge 1 to 2-hour final episode or even better combine the 2 and you will just end the show with this season. I feel like they did this intentionally to make more bucks. like why would you call it the final season in the first place if there is just gonna be another part after it, doesn't that ruin the entire purpose of the name the final season and they didn't do it once they did it twice, don't get us all excited thinking this will be the end and then make another season. it's like that popular saying " fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me''. and even some of the animation is lackluster I read a review on this final season part 2 and that review pointed out how awful the background character looked and now that I look at them, yes they do look awful. it barely looks better than some kid just doing it. it just looks like a basic drawing of a person. have mappa even put any effort into making this season?. honestly I don't feel like it. I was so bored throughout this series. ok, now that has been taken off my chest, let's talk about some good things about this season because I honestly think there are a couple of good things about it. firstly the first 3 episodes are masterpieces, with good animation, good fight scenes, good storytelling, just everything good. there were not a lot of fights but where there were fights, they looked amazing. they brought back the classic ODM gear scenes for episodes 10 and 11 and it looks just as smooth as it ever looked if not smoother. Mikasa is also a great character, as always. the hange was surprisingly likable in this season, just note that I don't usually like hange so this was nice. there was not a lot of Levi and honestly, I kinda liked that, not to say that Levi is a bad character because he is probably my fav character, just saying that it's refreshing not to have such an overpowered monster that just makes things too easy.
#In Conclusion
I was just very disappointed with this season of aot and it simply boils down to nothing happening. In most episodes they were just talking and even when they were not, the story just didn't move forward like it usually does. there was no standout moment that will be remembered forever and it's just very boring. not to say that everything about it is bad because if I said that then I'm just not being open-minded and I'm just angry that the show has not ended already. I liked the fights when there were fights and some of the characters were great.
I just think this season would have benefitted extremely if there was not as much talking.
edit: I rewatched this season and it got way better than it was but I still agree with some of my points in this review106 out of 156 users liked this review
