Review of Attack on Titan Season 3

Well, this is the first time I'm making a review so yeah, deal with it. This might contain some few spoilers: You have been warned. Season 3 finally hits us with a new approach to the plot, instead of dealing with Titans, it deals with the politics, and Titans became very infrequent, focusing solely on the fight known as "Attack on Government." Not that it's the bad thing, this is the season which will give answers to the question the viewers have since the first season. Art: 10 Wit Studio doesn't disappoint us this season, giving us viewer a very beautiful animations. Special mention to the most famous one,"Levi vs Kenny's Squad". There's no real issue with the animation, it was very outstanding to the point you're having a goosebumps.

Sound: 10
The music is perfect this season as well, the OST which adds to the intensity of various scenes, ranging from well-choreographed fight scenes to the saddest episodes. The OP is amazing since it fits the arc, as well as the ending which created by the famous Linked Horizon. And of course, the infamous sound in the final episode which, admit it, we didn't see coming.

Character: 8
Eren - got some pretty decent development in this arc, in the previous season, he is very arrogant and very quick to into fights. In this season, he has learned to control himself and think properly. And if someone told you that Eren only spend this arc crying, let me tell you, it was justified.

Eren is a 15 year old boy, full of thoughts regarding revenge. In just a short amount of time, a lot has happened to him which is the following: almost got eaten by a Titan, discovered that can transform into a Titan, his friends from Squad Levi is killed, discovers that Annie is the one who killed them, found out the responsible for the murder of his mother, got kidnapped by the military, and found out the secret of his father. For a 15 year old boy, that was very heavy, telling him to shut up will not help, let him process everything.

Historia - her importance has been hinted in Season 2, seeing this played this season is very rewarding, "Started from the barracks now a Queen." Her character has been fleshed out, her backstory is fully explained, and her importance to the plot is recognized.

Levi - Levi is very fleshed out in this arc, his history and lineage has been revealed, how he got powerful, and how he actually feels. He's not just a badass character, he has a personality to match.

And Erwin - Erwin's character has been fleshed out as well, and his commanding power, a lot has happened to him this arc and he has just one arm.

Those four are probably the most developed characters in the series. But gotta give props to other as well.

Kenny - his existence screams badassery, he is a very interesting character and every screen time about him means something, from his introduction to his end, he has served his purpose.

Armin - not really much, but his character developed from a lowkey pacifist to someone who will hold a gun to kill a person to save another person. It's a huge step up.

Mikasa - still the same, Mikasa being Mikasa, she really has no character development here, probably because she got one in previous season.

Al in all, outsanding character developments.

Story: 10
Now, this one, the story's new approach is very refreshing, it decided to drift off from the usual to give way to plot developments. The story this time is taking down the government and put Historia as a Queen, because apparently, the government hides the truth to the people, everything is a spoiler so I won't tackle it further.

This also shows the history of the Royal Family where Historia belongs to and the cause of Grisha Yaeger's disappearance.

This arc is full of revelations which I deeply appreciate, since the reveals here will makes the plot go forward.

Although, the anime decided to rearrange the events from the manga, it doesn't affect the storytelling at all since Isayama himself supervises it since he himself doesn't like how slow the arc.

So, this arc, overall, has a smooth movements in it's pacing, not too rush and not too slow.

Enjoyment: 10
I really enjoyed this season.
