Synopsis

Seeking to restore humanity's diminishing hope, the Survey Corps embark on a mission to retake Wall Maria, where the battle against the merciless "Titans" takes the stage once again.

Returning to the tattered Shiganshina District that was once his home, Eren Yeager and the Corps find the town oddly unoccupied by Titans. Even after the outer gate is plugged, they strangely encounter no opposition. The mission progresses smoothly until Armin Arlert, highly suspicious of the enemy's absence, discovers distressing signs of a potential scheme against them.

Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 Part 2 follows Eren as he vows to take back everything that was once his. Alongside him, the Survey Corps strive—through countless sacrifices—to carve a path towards victory and uncover the secrets locked away in the Yeager family's basement.

THIS, this is where Attack on Titan reached masterpiece for me. The show finally crossed the line of amazing thrill and shocking moments to "investing". In an arc filled with big battle scenes, the best episodes were deeply psychological. I enjoy the battle strategies of this arc, so much big brain energy on all sides. I love the theme of owning up to one decision with no regrets that the show explored, each choice revealed each character's essence. How in a war, you will end up losing something, but choosing what to lose is also a big part of survival. It really elevate the conflict ...

Mixed Feelings

The review as a whole will contain spoilers for the previous seasons. I usually try to avoid spoilers, but this time, the problems are so directly related to the story that I have to address some of the plot elements. Those that have seen the previous parts of the show are safe for now. I will give a warning until I get to the spoilers for Season 3 Part 2.

I actually loved the beginning of S3P2. The first six episodes, for me, were as good as the show has gotten since season 1. We are finally taking back Wall Maria. We will finally get to ... know the mystery of the cellar. We get the hyped up confrontation with the Armored and Colossal Titans - the one's that started it all. And the ruined district of Shiganshina is the perfect venue for this climactic confrontation. Seeing it again felt really cathartic. During the previous chapters, I almost forgot how satisfying it can be to be dealing with something that has been properly built up and not just hastily thrown at the wall with the hopes of it sticking.

The battle of Shiganshina has a lot of great things going on. Bunch of great heroic moments and lots of incredibly over the top, brutal, action. The beast titan is hurling boulders baseball pitcher style. The Colossal Titan can cause something akin to a nuclear explosion upon transforming now. Much of it is stupid, but it's stupid in the most entertaining way possible. We get epic heroic speeches. Moments of sacrifice. Couple of anticlimactic deaths too, to remind us that it's not all roses and heroism on the battlefield. Very Attack on Titan. The entire injector dilemma was a brilliant and tense sequence. It was so good that I find it difficult to accept that it emerged from the same mind that came up with the atrocious Reiss family story and thought it wouldn't damage the setting. In a vacuum, the battle of Shiganshina is a lot fun. What drags it down, is that it is constantly climbing uphill after what the previous chapters did to the story as a whole. But over all, I would definitely recommend the first six episodes to anyone who has gotten this far into the show - there is no reason to stop before experiencing this.

And then they ruin it. And by "it", I mean everything. A lot of dumb stuff happened during Season 2 and S3P1. But it was all still very tolerable. It could have been fixed... or at least you kept telling yourself that. But this was not only the last nail into the story's coffin, as far as I'm concerned, it was also enough dirt to bury the whole thing 6 feet under.

==SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT==

The entire world we have seen so far, is actually a secluded island. Beyond the ocean, there is an evil mega nation of doom that are persecuting an ancient race of people that once commanded the power of the titans. Their preferred method of execution for the descendants of these titans is to inject them with titan juice and set them loose on the island to terrorize the people living inside the walls. The Evil mega nation of doom, that are now being set up as the primary antagonists, are after the vast amounts of natural resources that can be found on the island. That's the spark behind it all! The nazis want some oil! If this sounds incredibly stupid to you... it's because I'm bastardizing it to hell... But also because IT IS!

So, it all took place on an island. We got characters with split personalities. Characters with very selective amnesia. Memory altering magic powers. Inconsistent magic powers that inexplicably work on some people while being useless against others. When your story has elements such as these, you know you are dealing with quite a mess. There are some satisfying revelations here and there but they don't outweigh the tremendous amounts of awful.

Also, every new bit of information we have learned about the titans as the show has progressed, has made them less and less cool. What happened to the "grim reminder" the mankind received at the beginning of the show? Living in fear of the titans? By the end of season 3 the characters are talking like the titans aren't even a factor anymore. And they are right! The titans are meaningless. In fact, they kill off all the titans! They JUST do it! Killing off ALL the regular titans, the once insurmountable enemy of mankind, isn't even deserving of a montage. Not even a dialogue scene. It's a passing sentence. One of the most horrific monsters ever created - reduced to this.

To wrap it up... The first 6 episodes of the season are a lot of fun. They are what drag my score for the season a little higher than it probably should be, considering the dreadful plot revelations in the final episodes.

Attack on Titan continues to give me mixed feelings, though this was probably the worst one so far. While this season certainly had some interesting things, it started out so poorly that I can't help but give it a negative review. Let me get the beginning out of the way first, so I can talk more in-depth about the parts I liked later.

The anime moved incredibly slowly in the first half, to the point that there were times when I thought I had accidently put the anime on half speed. The fight with Eren vs Reiner just moved slowly, the characters took a lot of ... time to react to what was going on around them and explain their thoughts step-by-step, and it rehashed things we had already seen in earlier seasons. It's like this season was designed for people who have the show on in the background. It follows the idea of "tell, don't show" which is the opposite of what I look for in anime.

It reverted to the despair-heavy tone of the first season where all the background characters are constantly dying. This far into the show, I didn't have any patience for it and it didn't add much to the story. Perhaps it was made to raise suspense, but it was all fake suspense. All the setup for the cellar basically gave all the important characters plot armor.

All the characters were especially aggravating in this part, too. Levi sets off with the express intent of killing the Beast Titan, and just doesn't kill it. All the other characters have already resolved to kill Reiner, and just hesitate at the end of the fight. I was expecting Eren to eat Reiner when he was exposed, but instead he just stood there and there was no pay off at all. I thought the characters got over their hesitation to kill other people in Part 1, but maybe they all forgot about it. Armin also refuses to have any character development, going through the exact same struggle he always does.

The scene where Levi had to choose to save either Erwin or Armin was mixed for me. While I think it made sense for the characters to act the way they did, it wouldn't have made much sense for the story if Erwin had been revived so I didn't feel any suspense. But Eren had a bad moment at the end of the scene that stood out to me as particularly annoying.

The Colossal Titan had shockingly bad 3D animation this time. I thought the 3D had been decent up until that point, but this time it really stood out as just being awful.

Had the season stopped here, it would have been an easy 1/10. The best word I can use to describe it is "aggravating." Luckily, it does do some things to make up for it in the second half.

First of all, I thought the payoff for the cellar was good. I thought the whole situation was foreshadowed well enough, so it was nice to see the mystery of the titans actually pay off in a satisfying way. Getting the history of Eren's dad really helped to fill in the details and contextualize Eren's own involvement.

I don't really care for the nature of the titans themselves. All we know is that they are magical, but that was clear from Season 1. But knowing there are 9 total special titans makes me want to see who the other ones are.

I'm looking forward to finally getting some development from Eren's character. Now that the Titan threat has more-or-less been dealt with, Eren is starting to realize what he really wants is freedom, not revenge.

However, I'm not convinced that Zeke will become a satisfying antagonist. He is certainly being set up to be a major foe for Eren. I'm expecting there to be some sort of conflict over the "real truth" as Eren and Zeke have gained differing information about how the world works. But we already know about Zeke's backstory and the nature of the kingdom he's sided with, so I'm not convinced there is much value in this kind of conflict in this context.

I'm expecting there to be a bigger theme about humanity being its own worst enemy. This calls back to some of the ideas introduced in Season 1. But if that's all there is, then I'm afraid this will have been a very long-winded approach to a common theme. I'm not confident this story will pan out in a meaningful way.

To summarize, Season 3 Part 2 starts off very poorly, and everything in the second half is, at best, expected. While it is satisfying to finally unravel most of the mystery of the titans, it's not enough to cancel out the bad parts.

However, I will be watching through Season 4 to see how the story pans out. I will likely be watching at 2x speed.
