Review of Attack on Titan Season 3

Just as a heads up, I haven't read the manga, so I'm writing this review while only knowing what we've seen in the anime. So, I'm not the biggest fan of Attack on Titan. I can't deny that it's storytelling and visuals are remarkable, but it's never really been my thing. This season, that changed. Why it changed, I couldn't tell you, but something about this season really got me excited for the future of the story. This season is very much a Levi season. While the story still focused a bit on Eren and his backstory, really, season three of Attack on Titan wascentered around Levi. You'll get an episode on Levi's origins, and you'll also get to meet Kenny, someone that's tied deeply to Levi's past. I think this slight shift away from Eren helped rejuvenate my interest in the series.

However, this season will also give some long awaited answers to Eren's family, namely his father. Not only will you get backstory on how he met Eren's mother and what life was like for the two of them inside the walls, you'll learn who Eren's father was before he entered the walls. Not to mention, this season finally sets up what exactly is in the basement of the Jaeger house. Or this half of the season, I should say.

Both Levi and Eren's history are very, very excited new pieces to the story as well as Historia's history. The overall pacing of this half of the season was done very well as the proper sections of story dropped when they should've while still having the proper down moments.

Of course, I have to brag on the visuals because they get better every season. A new Titan is introduced in this season, and the look of it is insanely cool. There are also brilliantly done environments that I love.

Attack on Titan still isn't entirely in my wheelhouse, but if it is for you, I think this season will impress you more than any others. The teaser for next year's content was very intriguing as well, so at the very least, my interest is still very much peaked for 2019. Here's to more!
