Review of Attack on Titan: No Regrets

If there was any character to flesh out in a small OVA, it'd definitely be Levi, and this pair of episodes that goes through his tough upbringing that changes to adopt himself into the Survey Corps is interesting, and something closer to being in line with the main story than the previous set of OVAs. Probably my favorite part is that the personality of Levi is still basically the same, but Erwin earns his personal respect and wants to follow him. First there are two geese that appear at the start and end of season 1 and now two doves flying at the end ofthis is a nice continuation of the motif that at least Farlan and Isabel had their time out from the underground, and that their spirits have been freed from it. Especially since there are probably few proper burials for the Survey Corps who die in the field, thinking that their spirits are put into the freedom of birds is an idea that resonates with me. I don't know if Levi not having a last name is something important but does kind of build up the myth of him, but at least he's more open during his time as a criminal. It's a good origin story that does explain how certain characters got to where they are without excessive detail over small trivia.
