Review of Attack on Titan: No Regrets

Warning possible Spoilers Now we all know that when we saw Levi's character we fell in love immediately so the fact that an OVA was made about his origins you know we're going to be watching the hell out of it. Set a year before the events of the Colossal Titans first appearance we head to The Underground a human sanctuary below grounds, 3 people called Levi, Isabel and Farlan are tasked by a man named Nicholas Lobov to kill a man that has been a thorn in his side and that man is called Erwin Smith. Despite being two episodes we really get to seethe man Levi was and what he would become along with the two friends he would be fighting alongside with, it was really interesting how the strongest Survey Corps member was actually a criminal who would try and help the poor people of the Underground which shows Levi's care for human life.
We also find out that even though humanity is fighting against the Titans there are still some that don't support certain decisions like where the peoples money should go like whether the expeditions should get more priority over other military branches.
The journey that Levi had to take was much like everyone else a dark one as we see what he suffered from his first encounter with the Titans that made him into the blunt and approachable person that we all know.

There are only 4 characters to take note of in this OVA, but despite being a small cast of characters they all do really well.
Levi of course is the MC and you can definitely see he was a different man before becoming part of the Survey Corps although his desire for himself and everything else to be clean is still there, he does show more his caring side to the people around him and doesn't play well with orders and you can really see the pain on his face when he discovers the fate of his friends and the anger he presents towards the titans after seeing this is terrifying beyond anything.
Isabel Magnolia is a girl that happens to run into Levi and Farlan while escaping some criminals, she is a very upbeat and fun person not really giving much of a care about her well being, but she greatly cares for her friends and has a special power that somehow makes every animal she encounters like her.
Farlan Church is Levi's second hand man who is a very calm and steady person who knows when to give up, but can also be defiant against his enemies, he catches on quickly to the Survey Corps ways despite doing the solute upside down and his opinions to Levi are always taken into his own opinion which is why both of these two have respect for each other.
We also get to see Erwin Smith and what he was doing before he was the commander of the Survey Corps along with some other familiar faces like Hange and Keith.

The artstyle again was much like the other AoT stuff, but we got to see a new location that humanity has hidden away from the Titans threat which is the Underground and it actually looked pretty cool for underground cities true it wouldn't be nice to live there, but you can't be picky in this world.

The action was well done too as we get to see why Levi is the best Survey corpsmen with the ODM Gear because his skills are goddamn good even to the point where he's able to out maneuver other Survey members, however there is still some titan fighting despite being short it was still good especially when Levi discovered his fallen friends and completely massacred the titan that killed them.

Overall this was an awesome origin story and it would be a great watch for anyone who is a fan of Levi so you can get to know how he joined the Survey Corps and became the man we all love to see.
