Attack on Titan season three.
Was it horribly amazing or wonderfully terrible?
So what's up guys Foxen here!
Yeah unfortunately.
Attack on Titan.
Season three is now on break.
So let's go ahead and talk about how you felt about it.
Was this the best attackers without a season so far before diving into this?
Just know I will be only talking about the enemy up until the uprising arc.
Nothing past it and so probably is something I've actually seen some mixed feelings about
this.
Some common complaints I've seen from some of you and online.
Where are all the titans?
This is called attack on Titan.
Is it not an yes, titans are part of this story.
An important part of the perhaps English translation for the story has been causing some confusion
moment.
Spoiler.
The original name of the series she can get keynote is actually a name of something is
not meant to be a reference to titans attacking or humanity fighting bank.
Second issue, I've seen it.
Where is all the action?
There's way too much talking.
I think this actually may be a curse for attack on Titan season.
One were the action scenes were elevated drastically in the enemy compared to the manga.
It might've given some casual viewers impression that attack on Titan was your typical action
is shown in series years later.
It turns out that it's not and third major component I've seen, which is interesting
that heroin was way too much of a pussy.
The season.
Why is Eren not angry anymore?
The whole carry through getting character development talk about boring would actually
found surprising was just how many of you said he actually identified or like Aaron
because he was always angry just like you.
I think I've always personally lean towards being calm myself, so perhaps I can't relate
as much.
This angry nature of everyone from season one also made.
Eren seemed to me like the standard shown in protagonist.
In other words, nothing new or two.
Interesting.
No big issue though.
The rest of the rich attack on Titan story made up for that.
If anything, now I do have to apply to say I'm a for taking this almost generic shown
in character and making them into that much more.
So for those of you watching, let me ask you, where do you stand on the uprising arc?
Did you love it?
Did you hate it?
Did you have any of the major issues I mentioned above?
How does the tackle that in season three?
Comparative Season Two or season one, and there is a reason I'm asking you this, the
attack otitis story coming up that's passed the second half of season three is very much
going to feel like the uprising are for the season to be enemy, but close comparison would
be game of thrones.
In other words, my attack on Titan is going to be getting more complicated, more layered,
and of course a lot more political.
So if your answer to the stuff before was that you disliked or hated though pricing
arc or ranked the lowest in the seasons, and this might not be good news for you anyway.
How does that tagline in season three compared to the other seasons?
For this?
Let's first talk about the pacing for the uprising arc.
The beginning of the uprising arc was heavily spit up for the enemy version attack on titan
season three covers chapters 50 1:52, so 22 chapters more or less, definitely less when
you consider just how much it was cut out or condensed.
It was as if the attack on Titan manga got put into a blender.
You then got some serving of that attack on Titan smoothie each week.
Even Mongo Titan smoothie tasted that week and of course for this there's complaints
on both sides.
I've actually seen some people still mentioned that the pacing was super slow, which is kind
of ironic and then you have a lot of manga purists that are hitting on this season.
So let me mention before going deeper into this, just to make it perfectly clear to you,
I don't necessarily believe the enemy has to adapt things.
One for one from the manga anime is a completely different medium from the drawn page.
This is why there should be some flexibility with how the scenes, the characters and the
story comes to life in animation, so it's important to be open to change.
Change has the potential to make something good into something great potential.
Here being the key, the opposite is also a very much a fact and amazing mango or now
we're seeing could potentially lose as emotional impact characters could come up completely
different from the original source and so on.
Now back to the uprising arc in question, unless you've been living under a rock, you're
fully aware about there being drastic changes for the Uprising arc in season three.
At minimum, you should have heard about this.
I mean how I got 12 videos going over all of the changes for season three and definitely
do check out that series and you may have heard about the reason to on this.
I already have a full video discussing the reasons why, so I'm not going to go into the
full details to oversimplify it Isayama was not happy with how the uprising story came
out for the early attack on Titan manga.
Around four years later Isayama both stressed, actually improved as a writer and an artist,
and so far there's been 10 minutes here and there about who had the most say in the changes,
whether it was Eatsa Yama or the studio, but honestly you're never going to know the full
picture from just this.
What is important is that the changes have been completed by now with all of these changes.
The uprising arc has become a much tighter story in the anime.
Some of the fat has been trimmed.
A lot of dialogue has been condensed, and yes, even arguably important scenes have been
cut, so first off, I do have to give a huge amount of credit to the positive things that
came out from this tightening of the uprising story.
Due to this, I actually found several characters that made much more of an impact on me when
perhaps the impression wasn't as huge or just an income across into a major character.
Of course, elevated by this was a commander of bad as himself, Erwin, oh my God.
After that beautiful display at the end of season two, the Erwin train kept on steaming
forward in season three from Erwin speech about honoring the response to displaying
this commanding forest in the King Throne Room scene and even Erwin's talk to Levi in
the last episode or was presidents in season three.
He left a deep impact.
Definitely can't wait to get some words from Erwin in the next half a season three next
up, second, outstanding character, the blonde girl, his story, and he has this little blonde,
gave this wonderful performance throughout the season.
I could just feel the hate coming from some of you.
As a story was buying every single thing papa rod was feeding her, really reminded you of
the naive sunset from game of thrones.
This tighter season.
Three story also help lead into his story as big turning moment on her bastard of a
father.
The definition of a good girl gone bad here.
Historian was fricking done taking crap from people ever and included and naturally.
Historian was a major player of the season.
I mean, she did it become a is story after all in comparison, the Manga version of felt
much less impactful, so making a story or standout will only help set the stage for
future events, and then he got top outstanding character.
Number three, commander Pixis detachment that an anime has done an excellent job in flushing
this old guy out since season one.
To be honest, pixies was almost forgettable from the manga counterpart.
Now take a look at peak season.
Season three, really a night and day difference.
Once again, credit to the throne room scene.
Pixies were they able to shine here wonderfully.
By the way, I do have to give an honorable mention to Kenny's blonde buddy.
Her name is Ashley Cavern.
I think they might've said it once or twice in the enemy.
Either way, like I predicted, Kevin became much more of a major player in the serious
compared to the longer version.
Was she actually a major character?
No, not really, but cameron did get added screentime this season.
She got much more of a voice and it really felt like she was the face of the Kenny score.
So excellent job fleshing out this otherwise forgettable minor character in the manga.
Alright, so switching it up to a more controversial topic and let's bring up Kenny Ackerman.
This guy is a mixed bag for me and I do have to admit from the start, perhaps it's due
to Kenny having so much of an impact for me from the Kenny Mongo counterpart for a good
chunk of the Kenny scenes in the enemy.
Sometimes he's almost felt like he got thrown into this art to simply serve as this extension
of Levi Ackerman.
Of course, there should be some of that, but it shouldn't be most of its purpose and he
has about purpose.
The second purpose, it almost felt like Kenny Ackerman alone was bringing this action element
into this arc, which again is both good and bad for this and who knows, perhaps some of
the stronger Parson is are overshadowed.
Kenny.
This season started off very strong with Kenny Ackerman.
Then he kept on getting less and less of him every episode after you switched to Eren is
Rod’s sex dungeon, I was thinking, oh yeah, Kenny is still in this.
Yeah, he's the thing they really made you forget all about him.
The biggest problem from Nma, Kenny might be ultimately what he led up to, which was
Kenny's grand dream.
Ultimately, it felt like the grand reveal last some of the weight.
When you finally find out what the driving force behind Kenny, it really was.
Some of the other outstanding performances and even the rod went into a 20 meter Titan,
might've overshadowed Kenny's big moment.
That being sanding.
I really do appreciate the wild crafted action element that Kenny did bring to the arc.
For starters, Kenny dig it, introduced a lot earlier, even got this enjoyable anime original,
so between the two ackerman in the seats in three enemy, the to Akron may never actually
thought one another in the Manga and the huge credit to Kenny's voice actor as well, perfectly
captured how I imagined Kenny to be portrayed us next up getting into a huge negative with
one of the characters and yes, I have to bring up the response.
I'll just say this, I was a huge fan of the response in the manga, especially his talk
with Levi on top of the wall.
He's basically been reduced to the very minimal for the attack on Titan Csun three enemy supposedly
to tighten up the story.
I've sent this gun in passes, but this was a very early complainant mind for season three.
Let me know if any of you felt the same way.
All right, so switching it up.
Let's actually talk about the season three animation, specifically the change in animation
style, and perhaps I'll do a full video talking in depth about this for now and let's discuss
this in some detail now.
Actually seem pretty mixed feelings about this from some of you.
Definitely voiced her own feelings about this down below too.
If he actually looked back to attack on Titan in season one and the whole season one project
was a complete mess in case you're unaware, a lot of the animation had to be fixed or
completely retrained for the blue ray release a tigers had in season two then saw this massive
improvement with the attack on Titan animation, but of course some of you still weren't fans
of the simply due to it being a change, and to be fair, I could kind of see where you're
coming from.
Ideally, I would prefer the attack on Titan.
Animate truly have this consistent look throughout the series and characters.
I really thought that might've been the case after seeing the beautiful animation for season
two.
However, then you get into attack on Titan and season three, this is a completely mixed
bag.
I purposely made a video on certain scenes that the enemy could really invest the improve
on for the uprising arc and attack on Titan seas and three does have excellent examples
that have really fleshed out the series.
A couple of these examples include the Levi chasing him from the Kenny Ackerman squad.
The animator that did, there's actually tweeted out how to take a moment just for this chase
scene alone, the Kenny versus the via battle scene in the crystal Titan, Keith, like mentioned
before, these two close ackerman never even battered in the Mongo and the final moments.
He knows the story of slashing that tide and chunk of the Rod Titan.
There's a lot more examples like this, but let me cut off the list right here and now
for all these amazing animation scenes from season three, we also have one counterpart
where you can say that the animation was lacking or allow more effort.
Could have really been put into this.
Let me give you three examples for those two arrows.
Heightened father grisha versus a free titan.
Considering this as one of the few tied and untied and battles and the uprising arc, I
really thought they would go all out on this.
Instead, it almost seemed like they went the opposite direction.
The original manga scene was even sensory was Titan steam Jorge, and then the second
example, which is really casting this big umbrella and a lot of the censorship that
was done to tone down the scenes for the enemy, especially in the first half, and to be fair,
I'm not really a fan of Gore, but some of the scenes really lost their impact when you
strip the characters of their fans.
A good example of this with the 50 shades of Hange Dungeon, I could think of like 10
different ways of making the scene without making it go into the Gore territory and still
make it impactful.
At the very minimum you're telling me you can't show a Levi punching son is not even
once or twice.
That's not even Gore at that point.
And then the third one, which is a mixed bag, the raw 120 meter titan.
I've seen a lot of you raging on hitting the CGI use for this.
Something about it.
Looking at like the playstation one and personally always been more lenient on this type of stuff,
so I'm kind of undecided on it now.
However, the following episode that they could have done this all without using CGI.
I just love that horrifying face at the ended up for this face, this monster Titan, however
other body shots could have really been improved.
Let's see how they handled the return of the colossal titan in 2019.
Next up, let's talk about something really ugly, which is how the withstood, he handled
the attacker tied in season three news or lack thereof, and he is seers down the line.
I think a lot of us will forget about this, but right now we're here.
Of course, none of us are inside the studio or TV network, which means that we could only
speculate about the reasons why was it the decision of the studio?
Was there a contract of the TV network?
Was it something else at this point?
Who knows, but it did happen.
I think there's a good chance that of attack on Titan season three did not err in this
bigger network and instead on standard enemy channels, then this news about it being split
would have been given out super early on and who knows, maybe they wouldn't even have been
taking a break.
They definitely wouldn't have taken a week off during the past height food.
Oh, and talking about the typhoon and Japan, I've actually seen this kind of dumb rumor
going around that the area got hit a lot harder than expected and this being the reason why
attack on Titan season three is being delayed until next year.
In case you've been misled into believing this.
Let me completely kill this off.
There were study is under 30 minutes from where I live and trust me, we're all doing
fine here in Japan.
That typhoon is in our memories now.
It didn't cause any drastic along lasting damage that has already been resolved.
Anyway, getting into attack on Titan a season three overall, definitely let me know which
season you love the most and perhaps I'm not going to say a popular opinion, but except
for the animation, I definitely prefer to attack and died in season three.
Overseas to it is harder to compare it to his advantage in season one.
Season one pretty much set up the entire story and that thing was twice the length of season
three.
On the other hand, season two and season three are more comparable.
Season two really felt like this middle season that was helping to connect into the larger
story introduced an attack of gout and Susan three, ironically a tech that in season three
now feels similar to that too.
Since we're only talking about the uprising arc for now.
Attack on that in season three has some very strong character development for almost every
single character that excludes Aaron and his breakdown in the crystal cave of.
Sorry if you didn't like cry baby.
Aaron historia going from this loss broken girl into this very strong leader that ain't
need no man Erwin, with his motivation for fighting Titan is fully fleshed out or mostly
anyway, leave my acronym with this horrible upbringing, fully revealed plus connection
with Uncle Kenny army, with his continuing developing mindset about who the good guys
are in this world and even because I'm, which I do admit with smaller, she has however,
come around to the idea of leaving air to himself and because they're really.
She started getting closer to other female buddies like Historia and yes, even horse
boy had his little moment with Marlo and hitch.
This is why a tech down in season three is going to serve as his key important point
for the story, especially with the future events coming.
It's going to go down in history.
It's one of those seasons we keep looking back into there are so many attack on Titan
fences that claimed the next arc to be the best part of it.
The attack on Titan story, but let's be perfectly honest here.
It wouldn't be crappy, but it wasn't for these key character moments in the previous arc.
It would be mindless fighting or action like your typical shown in series, like mentioned
before.
If he thought this uprising arc was boring, well better get used to it since season four
is going to be similar anyway, more important than me.
Here for me.
Now I'm going to sit you love or hate attack on Titan season three.
Which attack on Titan season?
It was the best.
In your opinion, and where do you think season three was lacking compared to the other seasons?
Was it the change in animation style and what were some of the standout moments for you
this season?
Anyway, definitely give a cost with them's up and subscribe.

Don't forget, it doesn't matter that the attack on Titan enemy is on break.
I will continue to have weekly attack on titan videos.
It could also enjoy my weekly breakdowns on sal season three elicitation on the weekends,
so hip identification, subscribe, and I'll see you guys later.
