There are two ways you can watch _Attack on Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin_. First, you can watch it as if it were a serious piece of media. Results here may vary. Alternatively, you can watch it as if it were a B-movie popcorn flick. Something to pass the time. Something mind-numbing and doltish, but self-aware enough to take all of its faults in stride and dive in headfirst and full-throttle. (Yes, I realise I inadvertently described Eren in a single sentence here). Something so ostentatiously unabashed, propelled solely by overzealous overacting and indiscriminate plot twist after indiscriminate plot twist, that you can only admire [Studio Wit](https://anilist.co/studio/858/WitStudio)’s ‘We don’t give a shit, keep giving us $$’ attitude, pump your fist, and yell ‘FUCK YEAH!’ as naked people chow on smaller, non-naked people. Again, results here may vary. ~~~webm(https://blog.sakugabooru.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/araki-battlefield.mp4)~~~ Here’s the thing. As much as I wanted to commit to this second form of spectatorship, I found it near impossible to do so. Not that there was any shortage of overzealous overacting or indiscriminate plot twists. After all, these are what _Attack on Titan_ is built on. But that’s exactly it. I find there’s only so much self-indulgent absurdity one can tolerate before such a formula gets dry. An entire first season was built on these foundations. Now, audiences are expected to salivate as the same formula is dished out before them. Not only this, one key ingredient seems to be missing: self-awareness. Much like the first season, except for the occasional moment, there’s little to no indication that _Attack on Titan 2_ isn’t taking itself seriously. Which is fine. Only, if a show strives to present itself as a sincere piece of media, I find it difficult to avoid assessing it as such. #Damn, you’re ugly *** From a visual standpoint, _Attack on Titan 2_ is mostly fine. Much like the first season, the art is probably not for everyone, but it’s non-offensive enough. Of course, that’s the idea: the drab colour scheme, combined with the fact that the titans’ designs (and hell, that of some of the characters too) are nestled firmly in the uncanny valley, creates that uneasy aesthetic that is so well-suited for and defines the _Attack on Titan_ series. However, the titans’ designs perfectly exemplify the earlier posited conundrum: they occasionally teeter into the realm of the stupidly comical. Again, this too contributes to that uneasy feeling: an unsettling amalgamation of innocent, mindless, childlike goofiness and devastating killer instinct. As such, I’m more willing to forgive and even praise the show on this front. Of course, the art is [by no means flawless](https://twitter.com/DaLadybugMan/status/871068745858469888). The show also had a tendency to default to[ shoddy, CG horses](https://blog.sakugabooru.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/horseslide.mp4), and occasionally [titans too](https://blog.sakugabooru.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/go-back-to-your-bad-videogame.jpg). Likewise, there were more freeze frames than I cared for. ~~~img480(https://blog.sakugabooru.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/attack-on-stilltan.jpg)~~~ ~~~_Freeze frames galore!_~~~ The highlights of the series are without a doubt, the intoxicating action sequences, especially those showcasing the 3DMG. Goddam, those gas effects! I cannot overstate how much skill and workpower likely went into their creation. The FX/animation departments at Wit seriously outdid themselves, and the outstanding sakuga was always something to look forward to. ~~~webm(https://sakugabooru.com/data/f9a3d2f74cc6fc5e5ce5138001d7eb7f.mp4) ~~~ On a side note, I can’t say I was the biggest fan of the change in scenery. The open fields and medieval-style buildings got boring quick, as there was not a lot to them as far as detail or colour was concerned. I guess there’s only so much background art variety you can have when the show is literally set in a walled enclosure. The OST is sublime. [Hiroyuki Sawano](https://anilist.co/staff/103509/HiroyukiSawano) continues to nicely establish himself as a leading musical face of the industry. Songs mainly consisted of a surprisingly effective blend of electronic music and orchestral choirs, plus the occasional insert song. These complemented the action scenes and emotional peaks well. I’d be lying if I said the OP didn’t grow on me (although I’m not entirely sure about that bit with the charging animals and dinosaurs and shit). The [ED is deliciously disturbing](https://files.catbox.moe/4kkaen.webm). webm(https://files.catbox.moe/fw9cp3.webm) It’s difficult to assess the voice-acting, given that at any given moment, it is more likely to find a character yelling than not. Again, everything is hilariously overacted, from the voice-work to the character’s over-exaggerated facial expressions. Similarly, some of the shit that happens in the action sequences is so outlandish that it’s comical. Again, this wouldn’t be problem, except it’s tension and immersion breaking. More importantly, there’s rarely any indication that this campiness is intentional. There’s little suggestion of self-parody. As such, you’re laughing at it, not with it. #This is like all the things you can fit inside a memory *** This season has a slower, more character-oriented focus. Unfortunately, this points to the most glaring problem with the Attack on Titan franchise in general: it’s messy writing. From the opening episode of the first season, _Attack on Titan_ was brutally honest in how it was going to sell itself substantively: on cheap thrills. Initially, this hinged on the shock value (read: a ~~dingo~~ titan ate my baby) that arose from the admittedly brilliant (and unique) premise, but plot twists soon joined the picture. There is nothing wrong with this. It can certainly make some good entertainment. And going into season 2, you mostly get what you expect. Plot twists by themselves are innocuous enough, and I do commend the likely unprecedented manner in which the ‘big reveal’ of the season was handled. That said, they begin to lose their appeal when it becomes apparent that literally anyone and their uncle could be an enemy. Moreso, it becomes blindingly obvious this season just how (over)reliant _Attack on Titan_ is on these plot twists. Not just narratively: 'shit, the plot is at a standstill?' RKO outta nowhere. But also as a means of retaining the audience’s attention. It’s as if the show has gradually constructed a facade of mystery and intrigue, forcing the audience to pay attention lest they miss yet another, crucial, earthshaking plot development. webm(https://sakugabooru.com/data/265e00360f9af83fb150f7f0f7accc97.mp4) This is because virtually all other facets of the show’s writing are lackluster. Take the inconsistent pacing. _Attack on Titan 2_ really does not know how to handle itself when there’s a lull in the action. I mean, we spend an entire episode sitting in a fucking tree. Very little progress is made this season. Sure, plenty of new discoveries are made, key plot points are raised, and a central villain is introduced. But resolutions are far and few between. More questions are given than answers. It’s as if as few manga chapters were spread across twelve episodes of anime as humanly possible. Multiple plot tangents concurrently exist at any given time and are tantalisingly drawn out. For example, the subplot concerning Connie’s home village. ~!It becomes apparent what happened here in episode 3. And yet, the writers milk this plot point to the absolute threshold. It is not until episode 10 that the show reveals what the audience has already known for seven whole episodes.!~ Come. The. Fuck. On. Not only is this frustrating, it’s plain insulting. This irregular pacing can largely be attributed to the way character development was handled. Again, this season was more character-focused, where much of the secondary cast received some screentime. Of course, out of the central trio, only Armin receives any semblance of substantive growth. Despite the inroads made at the end of last season, Eren has reverted to his usual, headstrong self. Meanwhile, Mikasa remains as obsessively attached to Eren as ever. Rather, we learn a bit more about ~~Connie~~ (yeah not really), Sasha, Hannes, Ymir, and Krista. It’s not exactly the most compelling stuff, but it’s something, and I appreciate what was being attempted. It is genuinely touching to see these personal triumphs and advancements, given that these characters haven't had a lot going for them. That said, I’m not entirely sure what was going on with Ymir’s arc at the end here. ~!She had just come to the realisation, thanks to Historia, that she should “stop living for others”. And yet, she decides to run off with Berthold and Reiner, as for them to return empty-handed would be disastrous. In other words, she’s subjecting herself to certain punishment for the sake of others?!~ This is mind-boggling. Seemingly, it can only be in service to something plot-related (likely in the form of a twist) later on in the series. Regardless, my biggest qualm with this new focus on characters is how overly-reliant the show is on flashbacks. In moderation, or when they form an intrinsic element of the narrative structure like in [_Hero_](https://letterboxd.com/film/hero-2002/) or [_Memento_](https://letterboxd.com/film/memento/), flashbacks are fine. But here, it is obvious that the writers (or [Hajime Isayama](https://anilist.co/staff/106705/HajimeIsayama)) were either too lazy or incapable of developing characters in a way that would smoothly integrate into and complement the principal, present-day plotline. Instead, they had to work retroactively, making up for lost ground by ostensibly giving the characters backstories ad hoc, so they could then have a platform to be ‘developed’ off of. As such, we don’t so much receive ‘growth’, which implies progression from the character’s moment of introduction, as we learn about the characters. Of course, the abundance of flashbacks chews up valuable screen-time that could otherwise be spent on more pressing concerns, like the main plot and subplots. Needless to say, the subtext concerning humanity, preserving humanity, and questioning what even constitutes as human, is never really deftly handled enough to be too compelling. It's there, but only the surface is scratched, while the shoddy writing overshadows and detracts from these themes. #心臓を捧げよ?? *** _Attack on Titan 2_, much like its predecessor, can certainly be good fun. It’s action sequences are impressively animated and generally exhilarating to watch. It’s soundtrack is phenomenal. And whether intentional or not, it can always get me to chuckle. webm(https://sakugabooru.com/data/a5515c88b10c098e4c3e066aa250eeb5.mp4) It’s unfortunate then, that it squanders nearly everything that isn’t action related. From pacing to character development, the writing does what it can to ruin the flow and intensity of the series. Of course, I chose to take the show seriously, and I undoubtedly would have enjoyed it more if I had approached it with a less sober eye. Then again, with very little indication that _Attack on Titan 2_ wasn’t taking itself seriously, I think it would be unwarranted if I were to do so.

I haven't seen this season in god knows how long, but yet somehow it has continued to bother me. Its flaws, in my opinion, are apparent, and it bothers me how the community has lauded this series. It perpetuates the most annoying part about the first act of this series was the constant need for flashbacks. Problem 1, the length: We are dealing with an incredibly short season(12 episodes) this means that every moment of screen time has to count. The plot is primed to move forward, and yet entire episodes are dedicated to flashbacks that are full of useless info like potatoe girl or the snow flashback. It also is used for lazy exposition practically telegraphing plot elements and spoon-feeding info to the audience. Shows like Breaking Bad do their flashbacks right. Short little bits that create intrigue or shows like Berserk which orient us. Additionally, the length cut out of all of the politics. We lose that entire plot thread because the story is wasting its time. Problem 2, flow: The biggest concern with the flashbacks is the effect on the pace. We end season 1 with a mystery, but we fall to a screeching halt with awkward, occasionally pointless flashbacks. This makes the show crawl like a snail and makes the tone switch all the more apparent. This awkward tone shift was the rushed introduction of the Armoured Titan. There is little to no precedent for this and feels so out of place. It is also terribly telegraphed in the flashbacks, so it lacks any punch. Its as if they went oh shit, we have wasted our first six episodes time to speed up the plot and throw a lot of bullshit in(Eren's special powers). Indeed, the latter half of the season is a complete cluster fuck. In contrast, with the slow exciting fights of the first season, the second season rushes everything. Fights lack tension and weight, and the story jumps from plot beat to plot beat. Eren's powers are thrown out of a hat. This creates a very bizarre style change. In the first season, the plot slowly built up, and small bits were fed to the audience. This kept us intrigued and interested. The odd change in style cheapens the last episode and leaves me confused and sad rather than excited and invested. The lack of buildup creates a lack of tension.

# [~~~**This review will contain HEAVY Spoilers for the show!**~~~]()
This season is packed with many plot advancements and explanations to some questions, plus we get some more Titan on Titan action which make the watching experience that much more fun! [**_(SPOILER AHEAD)_ STORY:**]() Season 2 focuses much more on the Character Development. We get to see all of the characters we grew to love in the first Season being destroyed mentally and sometimes physically. We were also introduced to the new enemies. Eren tries his best to secure the survival of Humanity but despite his best efforts there are those who wish to see Humanity perish, Bertolt and Reiner. Those two are also capable of turning into Titans, and those are the ones who we see at the start of the first season destroying the gates. We also see Ymir turning into a Titan to help out her friends in the tower. Through out we get hints towards her origin and her goals. But not much else. This leads me unto the reason I did not like this Season as much as the rest, it talks about **A LOT** while doing so little. I liked the character development very much, the combat too. But, in my own opinion, felt a bit slow. But each to their own I suppose :P ~~~img420(https://data.whicdn.com/images/284472593/original.gif)~~~
[**CHARACTERS:**]() In Season 2 we primarly see the same characters we seen in the first Season. As mentioned before this Season was about Character Development. We do get hints about new enemies and challenges but thats about it, hints. Most of the goals and ideals of the characters are the same as in Season 1. Except from: The Big Three: Reiner, Bertolt, and Ymir. Lets start about the easiest. Ymir. Her goal is to protect Krista at all costs. Not much to say there, if anything happens to Krista...hell unleashes. Now unto the more complex characters. Reiner and Bertolt. Those two want to see Humanity perish. Why? I don't recall, going back and rewatching the scene they explained all of that does not give us a good answer, mostly hints. From a young age they've known about these powers and used them for not so great things, like breaking the gate in Season 1. We also get to see Connie's village and a big Titan that looks a lot like his mother...hmmm, add the Hints of Ymir's Origin and we get some nice future arc there. ~~~img420(https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/827947935894338720/48A5B0AEE431112725E0252F550CE70A1B1E6F97/)~~~
[**ART/ANIMATION:**]() From what I can see, the art style and animation have changed over the span of two seasons. Last season had thicker outlines with smooth yet rugged animations, this season on the other has improved. The art style still does feel like Attack on Titan and does stay true to the Manga but compared to Season its much more enjoyable. The outlines for most part have been thinned down. The animation has taken a huge boost, most of the action scenes we found in Season 1 were good but could've been better. This was the response the studio gave. Amazing fluid animations (as seen in the gifs) with amazing character designs. Whats not to like? ~~~img420(https://data.whicdn.com/images/286269124/original.gif)~~~
[**MUSIC:**]() Attack on Titan never dissapoints with an OP. Sasageyo has to be one of the best OPs for this show to this day. The Pure hype one can feel building up while listening to it is incredible, it is also very catchy and memorable with some stunning visuals. The ED...well, there is not much to say. It was really meh. Doesn't sound good in my honest opinion. The last two EDs we were presented were much more suitable for this series. Especially "great escape". The OST, it is amazing. I love each and every OST that this series had produced, each and every song fits so well with the theme of the show and scene it is found in. ~~~img420(https://66.media.tumblr.com/e7489432d52eb5adbf478fa6f150175b/tumblr_onr0u3GO7j1vw7u6fo2_540.gif)~~~
[**OVERALL OPINION:**]() Season 2 build up on the previous established ideas more and more. Although most of the things I remember and saw when looking back through the show was Hints towards bigger events. The combat and animation has greatly improved in my opinion. Overall this Season was great but could've been better if we weren't teased so much about 60% of things said.

Attack on Titan Season 2 was one of the most anticipated shows of the year, let alone this season. Four years of waiting after a cliffhanger season finale fuelled with emotional intensity and more questions than anyone could have imagined, I had expected so much more from this season. I already know that going into this review, my opinion may be an unpopular one. But you know what, that’s totally okay. The first episode of the new season picked up pretty much exactly where the first one ended. That was nice. The recaps were kept relatively short to compensate for the time elapsed in between seasons without letting us drown in repetitiveness. There were a lot of minor things that I noticed about the show after a few weeks of watching. Some of them are good, but the rest are decidedly not great at all. Let’s start with the technical stuff. The animation quality was good. Compared to the first season, that’s all it was: good. Initially, I felt the animation was far superior to the first season. But after a recent re-watch of the all 26-episodes, I’m inclined to disagree with that notion. The improvements overall were very miniscule in nature, which was one of the biggest disappointments that I felt. Wit Studio has produced some other shows within the four year span, all of which had spectacular animation. One such example is Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress (Kōtetsujō no Kabaneri), which was essentially a steampunk version of Attack on Titan. Nonetheless, it was gorgeous to watch with action scenes dripping in details and meticulous incorporation of CGI elements. Was it perfect? No. Was it a vast improvement over what they originally started with? Hell yeah. But alas, it wasn’t implemented with this new season of Attack on Titan. Part of me thinks that they didn’t want to deal with devastating time crunches that the company experienced when Season One was airing, where the rush and pressure produced shoddy work. I can respect that, but I still hoped for something a little bit more. The action sequences themselves felt naked without the implementation of CGI similar to the styles used in the original season. There is a drastic change in artistic style in regards to movement and motion, that felt like a genuine step back. The lack of sharpness and the clarity that comes with computer enhancements, made the retrogression simulate hand-drawn sequences. Normally, that’s not a bad thing, but when you’ve already got your audience familiarised with better quality, it would be ill-advised to defer to something less than expected. Some other things that I didn’t care for consisted of the overall plot, it’s progression, and implementation. The entire premise of the 12-episode season is basically a human treasure hunt, a damn slow one to boot. Detailed revelations on the existence of the titans was severely limited. We learn one or two things that lead to a much bigger picture, yet in the end it takes five hours to get there, and it’s really not that extraordinary in the grand scheme of things. The vast chunk of the season is devoted to long stretches of dialogue that could have been accomplished in half the time that they actually took up. If there weren’t dialogues, then there were an immense number of flashbacks, most of them we could’ve done completely without as they were snippets from the first season. There just wasn’t nearly as much storytelling as there should’ve been. There’s a whole lot of build-up to something super badass, only to fall utterly short with total dissatisfaction. In any case, Attack on Titan does maintain it’s high-intensity suspense that just propels you forward one scene after another with disgustingly hungry eyes. You get so invested in what the hell’s going to happen next that the time flies by, making each twenty-some-odd minute episode feel like mere seconds in length. It’s always been damn good at enrapturing your entire attention. I adored that, missed it immensely even. It’s a trait that works very well for a series that has built itself up on viciously violent imagery and heartbreaking losses. Nonetheless, this may be its only redeeming quality. Overall, I was not impressed with Attack on Titan Season Two. Having to wait four years for only 12-episodes of dialogue and flashback regurgitation seems like a colossal waste. I would have preferred waiting longer for a much better and beautiful storytelling experience. While I am happy that I got to watch this while it simulcasted, I’m very sad that I felt so frustrated with it. __5 potatoes outta 10!__

My initial expectations before rewatching the Hajime Isaya written series 'Attack on Titan' were not too far over the mediocre, but as you can read in my review of the first season I was incredibly impressed by what the creators were able to do with the establishing portion of the series. Unlike many other series, it took its time setting up many of the series elements making it a very interesting revisit from a writing perspective. Seeing the small things the writers would do to establish a character or just an idea, that really impressed me. So continuing to season 2 was an intimidating task, as the bar felt far too high for the series to reach again. And if you’re anticipating my expectations to have yet again been demolished, then this is not the essay you’ll want to read. This review will be discussing plot events in the second season of 'Attack on Titan' that might be considered spoiler territory Season 2 of 'Attack on Titan' starts off where season 1 ends as you’d expect when Titans start appearing inside of Wall Maria alongside a seemingly more intelligent beast-like titan, but from no discernable hole where these could’ve come from. And the mystery of this event is emblematic of the focus the series goes for after season 1, that being the conundrum of what the titans really are. This is a question that has been asked by the series before this point, but I would say this marks change where this becomes the focal point of the series and is easily my favorite change from season 1. To sum up my only real complaint about the first season, the direction the series goes into with humans controlling titans was pretty poorly handled in my opinion. And while I want to clarify that the idea isn’t my issue, the way it is introduced so early makes the mystery a bit less effective in my experience. And so seeing the series try to not give out too much information was satisfying. It strikes a balance and gives you enough information to start coming up with all of these ideas about what these characters are really doing or what the titans really are, but never enough to conclude on any of them which makes it a very engaging experience. But I’m afraid my praise will have to end here. In the seventh episode of the series, it is revealed that Reiner and Bertholdt were the two that controlled the titans that broke into the wall at the very beginning of the series. What follows is an action scene focusing on Eren’s battle with the Armored Titan, but also his internal conflict as he realizes that his relationship with Reiner and Bertholdt has all been founded on a lie. But as we see, the armored titan is far more powerful than Eren and in the middle of the fight as he is being thrown away by Reiner we are flashed back years ago as Eren remembers a moment with Annie. The two have a confrontation that leads to Eren being on the ground and Annie giving him advice. She tells him that she was able to beat Eren because she used his strength to throw himself away, and was able to beat someone bigger than her. And with this being remembered, Eren goes back to the present and uses this technique on the Armored titan and succeeds. He is able to tackle the titan and crack his armored skin. It is a very satisfying moment if only this scene with Annie wasn’t made up on the spot. This scene where Annie teaches Eren on how to beat someone of bigger power is not featured in the series’ first or second season before this point, making it very confusing and transparent that they’re trying to pay off a setup made earlier in the same scene. Pretending to have a developing story, and most of all it’s a testament to what happens to a story like 'Attack on Titan' with a shorter runtime. Season 2 of 'Attack on Titan', unlike the series’ first, only has 12 episodes, a result of production issues and the money needed to air that amount of episodes. And while it is understandable under the circumstances the studio might’ve been under at the time, I still feel it’s only fair to judge the series with its fewer number of episodes because it’s the core problem I see in the season. One of my favorite aspects of the series’ first season was how well planned everything felt, where it seemed as though every detail and every line was specifically used to establish an idea or a theme. And while I’m not sure how many chapters of the adapted manga the second season covers relative to its first, it definitely feels as though the season covers as much content as season 1 but doesn’t have enough time to build up the groundwork. The amount of conflicts that end with a character remembering an important event we haven’t seen before instead of developing this earlier on becomes annoying at one point. To compare this to the prior season which I realize I have done a lot but I think is only natural, the female titan is a great example of how to successfully use set-up and pay off in a series. In episode 23 of the season, it is revealed that Annie was the female titan that pursued the squad on their expedition. But the reason why this doesn’t feel unjustified to me is because of the clear set-up that is being made since the first episode we see the character. She has a very specific fighting style, and although it isn’t focused upon while the female titan fights Eren, they’re similarities are undeniable after you know the twist and it makes the series feel patient with its reveals and spends more time establishing what will happen later. In contrast, the second season feels compromised and rushed. It has numerous moments that I feel could’ve been narratively striking if only they built up the moment beforehand. I would’ve probably found the relationship between Historia and Ymir more if it didn’t feel like their relationship was better developed. Again, there are so many examples of interesting ideas and tones the series is going for that are all kind of ruined with the amount of time they have to naturally grow. It wants the high stakes and energy of the first 25 episodes, but is either not willing or capable of doing the groundwork I think is needed for such a thing. The way I see it, it’s a 12 episode series masquerading as a 24 episode one. I still respect how the series goes in a new direction that I think has a lot of potential, but in the end, the last fight where big titans fall from the sky from being thrown by an even bigger titan is the only thing steering the series away from absolute mediocrity. __Strong 6/10__

__SPOILERS FOR ATTACK ON TITAN SEASON 1 ARE PRESENT, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED__ Season 2 of Attack on Titan is something really special to me. It reignited my love for AoT, but also made me willing to give more new anime a chance to see what the author has up in his sleeves and what they really have planned! Though there were some minor setbacks, ultimatelly it serves as a good season of AoT, but before i get more fully into it, i need to bring up the prequel for it; https://anilist.co/anime/16498/Shingeki-no-Kyojin/ I think most people can agree that the first season of AoT (toghether with Sword Art Online) has had a __huge __impact on the anime community, with being responsible for bringing in a LOT of new people giving anime a chance to see what the hype is really about. Though Season 1 ultimately deemed a success, alot of people (including me) has had problems with it, with examples such as the pacing, the characters (Especially the main character, Eren), questions being unanswered and what i think to be the biggest; the story. The story was pretty much set-up to be a generic boring story with the good humans being up against the evil, bad Titans which really made me turned off thanks to the synopsis, i mean, can you really blame me? The action was super great and the awesome Levi held my attention for a while, but it felt like the series was set up to be something decent, and nothing too big, so i gave it a 7/10 at the time. There wasn't really that much that changed my opinion until several years later when the 2nd season of AoT aired, and thats where my opinion on the series went really went up.There might not have been as much action as in the first season, but the author Isayama goes to great lengths to show that he knows how to set up an amazing story with some really intruiging plot-points being brought up, 2nd season much more darker in tone but also in contrast to the 1st season, but also something that was much needed for people; a break from Eren. Though my opinion on Eren has __definetely changed__ as i see him as a really great and well-done character today, it was definetly not the same back then. Compared to Season 1, this season does a good job of making me feel for the side characters, such as Reiner, Bertholdt, Historia, Ymir etc. Before when something tragic happened, i didn't really have a reason to remember them other then being tied to a specific personality/character, like Levi's squad in Season 1, but now, i actually did __have reason__ to do so, because of the really great character development. One problem i mentioned before was the story aswell, where i really though it could not get any more generic but turns out, Isayama set it up beautifully, with some great reveals, plot twist and moments which blew my mind. Honestly, this was pretty tough to write, as there was much i cut-out, but ultimately, i really do think it made a great in showing what the author Isayama has had in his mind for what was about to happen. The shift in tone made this a much more enjoyable series for me to watch with some great story moments that held my attention MUCH more then the 1st season, but also some great character development and a small pause from Eren, the suicidal blockhead i used to dislike ~~though he has definetly become my favorite shonen MC lol~~. Is it a step-up from the previous season? Most definetly, i think Isayama has done a great job in showing that he knows what he is trying to present and is clearly showing what he is capable of doing. Is it a masterpiece? Definetly not, i think every series has its fair share of problems. Is AoT going to be the next powerhouse and be remembered for a long time in the same vein such as Steins Gate, Mob Psycho 100, Hunter x Hunter? We will have to just wait and see what the future holds...

Spoilers will be discussed in this review. Unlike my thoughts of AOT’s 1st season, I enjoyed my first viewing of S2 a lot. From memory, I remembered appreciating the focus on the side characters more than the main trio, as I felt the strengths of the show were better exemplified with them rather than a screaming lunatic. I also liked the more mysterious air the show had now and remembered the pace being slower than S1. After rewatching, the strengths I still stand by (though I appreciate Eren’s value a lot more now) but I could not have been more wrong about the slower and more thoughtful pace. I always found it funny when people discuss the season’s of this show, S1 is always the rollercoaster while S2 is the one with more plot progression. S2 is just as much an insane ride as S1, if not even crazier at some points. The set pieces are incredible, and the relentless pacing of important, hype-filled events is astounding. The slower moments were a little better in this season because of how much the mystery has grown. Every conversation was interesting to hear and the way this season builds up suspense is masterful. The very first episode is very dialogue driven except for the end which is crazy. The Beast Titan is, in my opinion, the scariest titan revealed up to that point and the whole scene with the Scout Captain (can’t remember his name) was bone chilling. Seriously, he has one of the most disturbing deaths in the series so far. After a great moment with Sasha in the next episode, we then head to the Castle battle which is my favorite sequence in this season. The hopeless feel and the brutal deaths filled these episodes with a sense of dread. You don’t know what’s gonna happen, especially since none of the main three are present. Then, it culminates in an epic reveal and rescue scene. Truly a classic moment. But then…it gets crazier. Spoilers in bound (for the two people that haven’t seen this show yet) but Reiner and Bertholt’s reveal was incredible. The build-up with Eren not wanting to believe it, and the casual way it’s revealed was pretty unique and unexpected for a show as bombastic as this. But the transformation and subsequent battle steals the show. The epic new songs by Sawano are god tier and mixed with the raw emotion of feeling betrayed by two likable characters makes you, the viewer, feel just as hurt as Eren and the others. This show would not be as good without Sawano’s score, I truly believe that. It brings that something extra to every scene, and the transformation and battle scene is a great showcase of that. Then, the rescue operation. So much more was revealed in this arc than I remembered. The way this show builds mystery is honestly award worthy. You see Marley soldiers before you even know who they are, you see the edge of the island where Marley turns people to titans well before Grisha’s past is revealed. Ymir for me is the GOAT of this season. She went from a character that wasn’t even named in season 1 to one of the most important players in the story. Her backstory was unique and really made me feel for her. The scene where she looks up to the stars and the song “Call of Silence” peaks actually brought a tear to my eye. Continuing on with the topic of mystery, there’s parts of Ymir’s past I still don’t know about, and that’s amazing. It’s satisfying and mysterious, and beyond the hype, that is the core of this show, and this arc perfectly exemplifies this. But the moment that will stick out to me the most in this season, the one that has stuck with me the most is in the final episode. Death is an important part of this show and is arguably one of the best series to handle it. Every death is meaningful and impactful to the story, but most have been characters with no real sentimental attachment. Hannes is different. I’m not sure what the general consensus on him is, but his death is probably the most tear-jerking in the series at this point, even counting both parts of Season 3. He was there at the very beginning, he knows the main trio. Their struggles, hardships, and pain. He failed to save Eren’s mother and that has stayed with him. Despite this, he never lets his guilt get the better of him. Throughout Season 2, he helps Eren, Armin and Mikasa continuing moving forward and every scene with him brings a smile to my face. (Special mention to the hilarious flashback scene where everyone gets in a fight). His burden is mighty, even mightier than Eren’s so to see the titan that devoured her return, Hannes fights to life and limb to avenge her. No scene in this show has hit me harder than his death. The final look he gives to Eren as he is ripped apart and eaten brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Since the beginning of the show, it is the most hopeless moment for our characters. The complete silence surrounding the scene directly connects you to how Eren feels. This scene is incredible and really showcases how smart and well crafted this series is. Overall, this is one of the best follow-ups to a hyped show ever made. The non-stop roller coaster continues and keeps on rolling until the very end. I loved this season just as much as the first, and I can’t wait to continue re-watching up until I catch up to Season 4.

Attack on Titan Season 2 Summary of the review: This season is probably the most boring and took me so long to complete. Story or Plot = 7/10: - In all honesty, the story just continues as we venture on to the protagonists and how they deal with all of the titans but due to the cliffhanger of the previous season which has a titan inside the fucking wall (literally) and it got discovered and was stopped to inform the public because of a fucking religion belief that it came from God which is annoying, ridiculous, and im-fucking-possible yet the terror in the priest's eyes are a given and I would have just killed him at that point because of how useless he is to keep informations to help humanity which I will explain in the character section later on. We discovered that there is someone that is actually in the Survey Corps that is related to the walls (as a topic) and we have to find her. The process of me watching this season is really long and I didn't really have the motivation to continue on as I can't really find a chance to like this series as of yet. Characters = 8/10: - Given that we have identified 3 shifters due to macropacing and all the while we have actions and a bit of a flashback during their times of training as to show more character understanding who they are and their backstory all taking place in one day (night?) but going back to the religion topic, all I want to say is religion reasons are bullshit when you are in a war against titans and thinking that religion is far important than the lives of others is utterly ridiculous to the point I applaud of his conviction to not tell even when he gets interrogated and intimidated. - During the flashback, we get to know more about Historia and Ymir , that and also finding out that Ymir killed Berthold, Reiner, Annie's ally unintentionally I think. - We get to understand that all the titans that they are killing were previously humans and seeing that Levi thought that he is just a murderer is interesting but he got over it thanks to Commander Erwin - Commander Erwin is the type of person who would do anything for the benefit of humanity and that shows during the rescue mission for Eren Yeager as his arm was bitten off prior to the reveal of titans were previously human Animation = 7/10: - Not much could I find anything bad to say the least, other than the monstrocity of a CGI for the Colossal Titan which looks really bad during the reveal of the 2 Titan Shifters in the walls after their mission to retrieve Krista Lenz (Historia Reiss) - I could see some repeated movements or at least I think it is repeated movements. Artstyle = 6.5/10: - Like I said in the previous review for Attack on Titan, I am not a big fan of the artstyle that is being used for Season 1 and 2 as they feel plastic but the Titan designs mainly the Shifters are looking good, understandably so is that I love the background designs because it is really pleasing to look at but even so I will rate this a 6.5. Soundtrack = 6.5/10: - Not much can I remember about the soundtracks that are presented on each episodes of Season 2 of Attack on Titan and I am not really fond of the opening of Season 2 as it isn't really my type of opening song. Final Review: This season took so long for me to complete because I ended up being bored on this season of the anime yet I persevered to complete it because I started to watching this franchise and I have to complete it in order to move on to another anime, I leave no hatred on this franchise and understandably so is that I am not a great anime reviewer as this is all that I can say because I am not really that adept to understanding animations and more. Story or Plot: 7/10 Characters: 8/10 Animation:7/10 Artstyle: 6.5/10 Soundtrack: 6.5/10 Enjoyment: 7/10 Overall Grade: 7/10

Hello Again, If you haven't already, check out my Season 1 review to understand my take on the series and how I found it. Anyways Season 2 of Attack on Titan was weird to me for one reason. As previously explained I stopped watching AOT back in 2017, during Season 2 because of school. However I can't remember for the life of me at what point i stopped, i remembered the beast titan and Mikes death but not up to The reveal of the colossal and armoured titan, my best guess was it was around Mikes death then, maybe id caught up and didn't continue to follow it weekly. However, I did remember the identities of those titans which made re-watching it feel like I both knew and didn't know, it felt new and old. Now in 2021 though, it was still a greatly enjoyable second season, while very short it is probably the strongest showing of how quickly a story can completely open up and is the foundation for the following seasons. Season 1 while great was quite closed in, the main areas of the story where within the walls, and the female titan arc was the best showing of the possibility of the expansion possible, even the female titans identity alone didn't really open much up as nothing more could be suggested without assumptions. Season 2 however, explores outside the walls a lot more and a lot more questions and scenarios occur that perfectly sets up future story telling as well as a whole lot of theories. Obviously, there is Reiner and Bertholdts surprise reveal of their titan powers, which while done abruptly actually makes complete sense and sets up some beautiful following episodes, not only this but also Ymir completely caught me off guard, someone from the sidelines suddenly having a pivotal role was a great change of story telling and all in all, having these 3 characters suddenly become so pivotal in the story not only changed how you looked at side characters and the story itself but now their was more evidence for questioning things, we had 4 examples of titan shifters so who was to say there wasn't more and the fact they were all within Eren's Training Corp buddies. Not only this but the beast titan was a mysterious character who singlehandedly created some massive plot points, being able to talk and seemingly control titans. All of these points and so many more such as Historia, People turning into titans and the titans in the walls is what makes this season so strong, it is without a doubt the Season that changed the story forever and to do so in just 12 episodes is insane. Personally its probably one of the weakest seasons for me, but that's not to say its bad. While it sets up so much, because it doesn't actively solve or develop much other than the insane reveal it falls a little flat, but i greatly appreciate the hold this Season has on the overarching story of AOT

Attack on Titan Season 2 was Spring 2017’s most eagerly anticipated series by miles, and quite possibly the most eagerly anticipated sequel in anime history. Four years, two live-action movies, two spin-off series, and a video game later, the franchise that took the world by storm in 2013 doesn’t look like it’s about to slow down. After the battle against the Female Titan in Stohess, the truth about the walls is discovered. Elsewhere, members of the 104th Division are held captive by the Survey Corps, suspecting a Titan spy within their ranks. Titans appear inside Wall Rose, so everyone moves out to defend against the new threat. The Titans seem to be led by the Beast Titan: an Abnormal covered in fur and able to speak. After several battles, several members reunite at Wall Rose, where the identities of the Colossal and Armored Titan are revealed. Eren transforms to fight the Armored Titan but he is overpowered and both he and Ymir are kidnapped. Erwin quickly rides for Wall Rose to lead the rescue mission. One thing I noticed early on is just how much better the animation quality is this time around. After the first episode came out, I realized just how much I missed Attack on Titan so I started rewatching it from the beginning. Seeing the two seasons together only emphasized the difference. This makes a lot of sense because Isayama’s art itself has steadily improved over the last eight years. Little details from the manga have found their way into the anime, like the lines used to create shadows, but the distinct art style of the first season stays relatively consistent. The improvements add up, so while it definitely feels like the old Attack on Titan, it’s much nicer to look at. Here’s Krista looking better than ever (if that’s even possible) And with a worldwide audience, there are more people to impress. I’m assuming that Wit Studio have invested more money into the series now they know it’s popular, and with more eyes watching than your average seasonal anime there’s bound to be more pressure to make everything right. But it’s paid off. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that everything has been copied exactly as it is in the manga. Certain scenes have been moved around – the most noticeable of which is Ymir’s backstory. The current story arc was released in manga format five years ago, but the chapter talking about her life beyond the walls was only released five months ago. This actually works, and helps correct my main issue with the manga at the moment. Over the last couple of arcs it’s seemed like Isayama is trying to fit in as much information as he can, which makes it difficult to read sometimes. Moving some scenes around fixes the pacing and means that the upcoming arcs don’t get too confusing. Doing that makes a lot of sense, seeing as Isayama suggested in an interview that the anime was “the definitive version” of the story (source, p.44). That’s one of the advantages of having two adaptations of the same thing; being able to change things that didn’t work perfectly the first time. Although, while the pacing was much better; there were a couple of moments that slowed the story down. The entire first half seemed to be steadily picking up momentum, with a final sprint that culminated in the big Titan reveal at the end of episode 31. Yes, the way they were revealed was very calm to start with, but by downplaying the drama it flipped the audience’s expectations. They quietly lit the fuse, giving us just enough time to have that “Wait, what?” moment before the bomb exploded. This worked so well that the following episodes didn’t seem to be able to live up to the new standard. The battle between Eren and the Armored Titan was technically brilliant and used realistic fighting, but the flashbacks made it feel a bit slow. However, it was necessary to show Annie’s influence. Episode 33 felt like a filler episode with Hannes, Armin, and Mikasa reminiscing about life in Shiganshina, and while I can see why they included it, it just didn’t seem like the story was going anywhere. Thankfully, the pace sped up again towards the end of the season. Another thing I noticed was that the music this season has been absolutely phenomenal. While Season 1 had a soundtrack that perfectly fits the dramatic atmosphere, those songs have been reused and reinvented for the new story arc and it’s definitely paid off. From the use of Counterattack Mankind at the end of episode 37 to the new version of Call Your Name in the flashback to Ymir’s past, they’ve kept the familiar music but changed it enough to feel fresh again. Even the full version of the opening theme samples the first two openings. But the standout example of this is the reworking of Vogel Im Kafig in episode 31. In my opinion, Vogel Im Kafig has always been one of the best tracks on the OST but now it’s even better. Combining more prominent drum beats and new additions to the vocals, it feels so much more intense and really reflects the raw emotion. Overall, it’s been a very strong season, arguably even better than the first. Cutting it short has only done it a favor, focusing on quality rather than quantity. Here’s hoping that Season 3 keeps up the standard, but judging by the preview clip, there should be 25 episodes again. Some of the manga panels in the preview are very recent, and there wouldn’t be enough time to cover all of it in a single 12 episode run. Either way, Attack on Titan has consistently proved that it deserves the hype.

There are anime and manga that interest me but I keep my distance from them, because they are either simple pastime or objectively bad products, it's like I lose my " opinionology card" If I enjoy these. I care a lot about what others think of me, even in anime opinions. But, added to the intention of writing my thoughts, I would like to do this little review of an anime that I knew I was going to like but didn't dare to watch until recently. After all, even if it's not the best thing in the world, it's one of the best experiences I've had with an anime. Let's see if I can justify my liking for this controversial series of which I have seen 2 seasons. I can't believe I watched 37 episodes in less than a week. This has clarified a lot of things for me regarding how I watch anime. I think from now on I'll be more critical when a series is simply difficult to watch, because the truth is that there are few anime I can say I've been watching with eagerness and excitement, being most of the ones I've watched with the feeling of doing a job. Don't get me wrong, I don't ask for everything to be a masterpiece, I like to enjoy various types of anime, but my problem is with anime that aspire to be bigger things than they really are, and end up being boring, painful or indifferent to watch. Definitely what I love most about SNK is its structure and the way it tells its story. Nothing is superfluous, everything is put there for a purpose: The silly and funny behavior of a character is then used to show a mature side of the character later on, a vague phrase of a character in a casual moment is used as a powerful plot twist, flashbacks are often repeated, but it's because the viewer received new information from the story, which makes them see those past events with a new eye. It's amazing how there is action, comedy, political dramas, personal dramas, interesting relationships, horror and death. All together, nothing is out of place, everything unfolds well. That's definitely the reason I've been watching all of this in such a short period of time. Now, I'm sure there are works that deal better with what SNK does and I would assume it's hated because it's unfair that it's the most popular thing about it. Still, I'd be lying if I said that the topics the series deals with don't interest me a ton and that it deals with them well in my opinion. Eren's speeches are imposing and powerful, Erwin's way of acting is terrifying for how direct and effective it is, and the determination from the secondary characters to the characters that die in 1 episode are powerful as well. All the characters can go from one extreme to another, from feeling truly incapable of doing nothing, to performing miracles that save them. While watching the chapters I was thinking a lot about why there are so many people dedicated to showing that SNK is bad. Does it become disappointing later on? Is it too popular and put out as the best thing in the world and that bothers people? Both at the same time? All of that may be true, but, even so, I think it's legitimately valid to find this series to be pretty good with the first few seasons (first two that I watched). Now, that doesn't mean there are things that I'm not completely sold on. I kinda don't mind so much the mystery part, SNK delivers resolutions to the enigmas with excellent pacing without leaving things too far in the background, but the truth is that I'm not curious to know what's in the basement of Eren's house. It might be mind-blowing but I don't know. Another thing I found a bit weak is that.... The setup really requires a lot of characters, and they certainly aren't handled badly, but, I don't think it would have hurt to add more moments for the characters. I love that the anime shows the minimum and necessary of everything, but still, it's hard not to want to see more casual facets of the characters, in particular, I wanted to see more of Ymir's attitude with more characters or more moments where Sasha is serious and focused, or moments of Eren, Armin and Mikasa interacting friendly... And definitely what I think can go worse: I'm reviewing a season of a series, not the whole story. SNK promises a lot, *a lot*, and one thing that can ruin the thing is that it fails to deliver what it promises, or does so in a weak way, or worse, betrays the ideas and routes it takes for something different. If that happens, it's not that these seasons automatically become bad, but it means that the whole story is not a rounded production. I think I've written what I think of everything I've seen from SNK so far. It's not bad at all, I don't think it's the best thing in the world, but it's something I quite enjoyed. I'm anxious to see how the story develops and ends. I've already received a lot of warnings that it won't do it in a very satisfying way, but I'll still be hooked to this anime until the end.

~~~__Bem-vindo a minha opinião de Attack on Titan. Também tem o resumo da temporada abaixo.__~~~ ~~~___Observação: cuidado com SPOILERS.___~~~ ____ ~~~___MINHAS OPINIÕES SOBRE A TEMPORADA___~~~ - Em questões técnicas, o anime se mantém o nível absurdo de qualidade da temporada anterior. O jeito que as informações são apresentadas para você, é diferente de qualquer outra obra. Eles poderiam ter feito algo extremamente elaborados sobre a identidade dos impostores. Mas, eles te dão a informação de uma forma sutil e funciona muito bem. O mistério do Titã Bestial nessa temporada te deixa com vontade de assistir mais e mais para entender o que está acontecendo, quem ele é, suas pretenções, e seu propósito. Ele faz algumas aparições, mostra ser algum Titã inteligente, mas no episódio seguinte é como se não fizesse parte da trama. Aqui entendemos mais um pouco sobre os poderes do Eren, até então, acreditavámos que ele era apenas um Titã como qualquer outro. Mas o Reinier cita a "Coordenada" e também cita sobre o "Titã Primordial", a obra está escalonando muitas informações mas não te dá todas as respostas tão fácil. O Erwin Smith para mim foi o melhor personagem da temporada, a inteligência e virtude dele te impressiona. Ele está a espairecer o medo dos soldados a todo momento e motivando todos a lutarem pela salvação da humanidade, o Eren. A temporada se aprofunda bastante na trama de Historia e Ymir, que é uma personagem principal em Attack on Titan 2. Isayama e Production I.G nos entrega mais uma obra-prima. A Ymir era uma personagem extremamente misteriosa até então, pois, não sabíamos nada sobre ela. Sempre aparecia perto dos personagens principais, e você sempre se perguntava de onde ela veio, e qual é o propósito dela. Ainda mais, depois dela ler uma linguagem que não é tão comum assim. Sinto que, na próxima temporada, teremos mais informações sobre o que realmente é um Titã Primordial, a Coordenada e tudo mais. Se aprofundando um pouco mais em Erwin Smith, o grandioso personagem que após essa temporada, se tornou um dos meus personagens preferidos dos animes. Sua liderança e sua vontade de vencer é maior do que qualquer um outro. Eu nunca vi tamanha grandeza em um personagem em outra obra anteriormente. Sua decisão de recuperar o Eren a qualquer custo, por mais que custe sua própria vida, me fez amar ainda mais o personagem. Ele estava disposto a sacrificar tudo, até mesmo, o seu braço. Incentivando todos os soldados que estavam na expedição, a humanidade pode consegue dar mais um passo. Espero mais momentos incríveis desse personagem mais para frente na obra. A maioria até então, foram arrepiantes. >NÃO MUDOU NADA! - Eren Yeager ____ # Episódio 01 Resumo O pastor e os fiéis escondem algo.
