Review of Attack on Titan Season 3
NO spoilers I've never made a review here before but after I have seen this season I feel like there's some perspectives that has to be stated. I know that this anime is a "baby" for many of you (and including me) but there's some things that I miss from what they've produced before. Let me start with the positive stuff first though. Attack on titan is one of the most amazing animes out there and I would not continue to watch and rewatch if that wouldn't be the case. It's stunning, the animations are really good and there's eye candy in every scene. The plot is well made as wellas the story.
However - when I got hooked by this show, it wasn't just the mature and sophisticated "gore-ish" style.
Attack on titan provided so many feelings, I burst to tears, felt sadness, laughed, got a bit scared and had goosebumps when the action hit it's peaks.
But in this latest season, they've more or less forgot what they want to give the viewers - I'd say that they almost do not know what they're capable to do in an anime.
My feelings were more or less just plain - and sometimes filled with boredom.
Despite the focus on dialogue and long history explanation, I think they've failed to give us a way to feel for the show. They've been focusing so much on everything else that it more or less feels like a budget movie than an emotional rollercoaster.
The music isn't played as it should and the theme is quite boring.
All that removes the excitement.
I hoped that I would get the insight enough to get a relation to the characters but instead they interrupted every compassionate moment with too much dialogue and plain face expressions.
I'd say that when you no longer care about Eren - then the anime has lost the core purpose.
The second important thing is what they focus on.
Many times, as well as when they try to add some humourous cuts, they don't really add the hint about if it's important or not. Sometimes you even get confused if it's supposed to be fun or important.
It's so serious right now that even when they try to make joke, you're not longer aware if it's included to the plot or just a laughable controversy.
Take it a bit further! Extend the lines!
When everything is so "delayed", the music theme is off and the situational feelings isn't there, me as a viewer doesn't know how I should react to that particular scene.
That's why I can't give it more than "Good". The expressions doesn't support the plot.
Since it's hard to keep this review out of spoilers, I can't really specify what I mean but if you keep what you read in mind, then you might understand.
The anime isn't bad, but it doesn't feel as it used to do. I'd still recommend everyone to watch it
