Review of Attack on Titan Season 3
Ah yes. I, ANIME_FFS, am writing another review. After around 6 months, (and several days of procrastination), I have come back with an AOT review. Yes, I should have reviewed the first two seasons first but I didn't bother to type something about it. This season, though, made me love AOT way more and I shall enlighten you about this anime Story - 9 AOT Season 3 finally arrives only to spread the sad news that it's sibling was lost in the earthquake of April 2019. Nonetheless, Part 1 delivers an amazing story continuation and here we are, dancing on it's fingertips and begging for more.This time, the story doesn't focus on the titans but much more on the question that has been right in front of our eyes; who is Levi and what is his background? Needless to say, this season informs us well about Levi, his past and a new character-Kenny Ackermann. Is he connected to Mikasa? Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows? More context on Erwin's actual desire to join the Scouts and a MAJOR plot twist in the story takes place. Would've absolutely loved to give a 10 but I really hate cliffhangers.

Wit delivers the same, amazing visual again! The gorgeous animations and beautifully displayed artwork never fails to amaze me. My most favourite artwork in the entirety of the season (heck even in the anime!) is the opening. I don't understand why it's getting unnecessary hatred. It's my favourite opening overall because of the deeper meaning behind this season. It wonderfully displays the very basic roots of our much awaited 12 episodes and it is truly amazing. The Levi holding a dagger whille staring at Kenny, the wonderous trio as adorable children just having innocent fun, Erwin with his father and even Historia! I. Simply. Loved. It.

Red Swan is really^∞ GOOOOOOOD! Pair that up with a heartwarming and very well-made opening art, praised in the Art segment, and you amplify the feeling (if you already love this anime). I didn't like the ending as much as the opening because it kind of reminded me of the creepy music in seasons 1 and 2. The voice acting in this anime, heck in the entire franchise, is really on-point with the expressions and you can feel the chaos in shaken voices as well the frenemy banter between Eren and Jean. Again, really love the opening!
Character - 9
We see a relatively huge amount of character development in this season as Eren, not only doesn't get abducted a second time, but now has become a calm and collected being. He does have an existential crisis moment but snaps out of it pretty quickly. Historia goes from the innocent, kind and inarguably cute person to a woman of change, with a very good sense of duty and leadership. Other characters like Jean and Armin develop pretty well too, with Armin becoming more responsible and mature while Jean too exhibits such change. Mikasa doesn't change much but Connie and Sasha become much better friends, it seems; almost as if they're siblings.(not a spoiler dw)
Enjoyment - 10
I absolutely loved this season! There was something to it that made me enjoy this more than the other seasons. I think it's because in this season, they don't introduce new questions and answers quite a few of them. I also really like the U-turn they made and showed humans actually fighting each other, which makes it somewhat more realistic as it's pretty much difficult to completely unite 2 opposing factions with different ideals. I'm in love with the opening and season 3 made me much more interested in the franchise. It's not too cliched but at the same time, not too unpredictable. I give this anime a 9/10!
