Review of Attack on Titan Season 3

Well, didn't expect this show to be split cour! I bet a lot of people are disappointed, but hey, I'm going to Disney in a week so if it weren't for this I'd be missing a couple of episodes lol! So I might as well write a review... Art and Sound- Same Ol' 9/10: Despite how WIT should be grasping at straws production-wise, this actually looks and feels like the best season so far (although second cour could prove that wrong). Also a lot of the best animations this show has offered thus far are present here. The voice acting is the same. Since there's more characterdevelopment this time around, Eren isn't a screamy brat.

The new opening is a really nice contrast to the previous openings. Song-wise, I still find Sasageyou to be the best, but as far as the theme of the visuals in the opening, Red Swan takes the cake!

Story- 8/10: This season adapts mangaka Isayama's least favorite part of the manga... I don't know what it's officially called, but it is notorious for the large lack of Titans and the focus on conspiracies and politics.. I personally never felt it to be a problem in the manga, but whatever went wrong had to be amended here.

I don't have good enough memory to notice any differences, but this version is pretty solid regardless. Most people probably hated it solely because of the lack of Titans.

Characters- 9/10: Without Titans messing things up, this is an opportune moment for the people we've been spending the last two seasons with to... well... talk.

We get a lot of great new characterization from pretty much everybody as they have to start fighting their battles within the walls instead of outside of them.

I can't say anything else because of spoilers, however, so I'll just end this portion of the review in this very anti-climactic manner.

Enjoyment and Overall- 8/10: I've given every season of this show 8s across the board, but tbh this season is set up to be my favorite season so far.

Now let us all wait until spring 2019 for them to ruin everything!

Also, WIT you freakin' trolls with that sneak preview of next cour at the end (if it's the scene from the manga I think it is...)! I mean, it's not as bad as season 1's "Oh! Wall Titan!" *waits 4 years*, but still holy crap!!!

'Kay review over now.

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYY! Okay done for real now.
