Shingeki no Kyojin OVA

Ilse no Techou: Aru Chousa Heidanin no Shuki
During the Survey Corps' 49th recon mission, Hange Zoë is determined to capture a titan specimen. Despite not receiving clearance from Commander Erwin Smith, when a titan is spotted in nearby forestland, Hange rides out alone to meet it. Recklessly luring it out, she asks the titan numerous questions and puts her life on the line for the sake of her research. However, the behavior of this particular titan is far from normal. It quickly turns back and enters the wood once again, leading Hange to somewhere specific. What Hange finds is the legacy of former scout Ilse Langnar. In spite of her death, she provides a valuable piece of information that may serve to turn the tide for titan research—a diary documenting her last moments.

Totsuzen no Raihousha: Sainamareru Seishun no Noroi
Jean Kirstein would do anything to escape his boring home life and overbearing mother. After enlisting in the military, it became his ultimate goal to join the Military Police regiment and live out in peace and luxury. However, during his time with the 104th Training Corps, things never really go the way Jean wants them to. Eventually, the stolen glory and condescending banter of his comrades become too much—and Jean challenges fellow cadet Sasha Blouse to a battle, in order to determine which of them is strongest—but who will come out on top?

Konnan
The 104th Training Corps' most recent mission is a trek on horseback into the forest. Although a test of their ability to stay alert even in non-threatening situations, the task is boring and can lead to in-fighting. This is especially true for one of the groups, lead by Marco Bott. Some want to stay true to the mission they have been tasked with, and the rest would rather slack off, occupying themselves with more exciting activities. But when trouble strikes, they are completely unprepared.

The OVA for Attack on Titan has three unrelated episodes that all happen while Eren and friends are still training. The episodes are all quite different in theme. The first one adds to the information you have about the world, the second one is attack on titan's attempt at comedy and the third one is mainly just a neat story. The animation, voice acting and music are the same as in the main anime.

At the end of the opening the episode number is given which could indicate in what order the stories happen:
Episode 1 is listed as episode 3.5
Episode 2 is listed as episode ... 3.25
Episode 3 is listed as episode 3.75
Do not take this as a watch order though. While episode 1 and 3 can be watched between episode 3 and 4 of the main anime, episode 2 of the OVA contains spoilers for something you'll only know when you reach episode 9 of the main anime. Watching the OVA after finishing season 1 is a perfectly fine experience.

Episode 1 is a story about a discovery the scout legion makes and gives more information about how much is known about titans. It's a nice episode to watch if you're interested in the world.
Episode 2 is a episode in which everything revolves about humor in a shokugeki no souma like cooking battle. I didn't find it funny and the characters didn't feel suited to the comedy but it can be worth watching if you like comedy.
Episode 3 is a story about a training mission which is mainly about character dynamics and overall neat to watch.

Mixed Feelings

First of all, sorry for my terrible English, I'm using a translator XD
These OVAs are basically additional content for Shingeki so I'm going to say my opinion that no one asked for about the 3 OVAs

OVA 1: Definitely the best OVA of these 3, showing us a mysterious mystery about the titans (as if there weren't enough already), it is a pleasant chapter to watch and it fulfills its function perfectly: additional content, I give it a 9 out of 10

OVA 2: This OVA tells us about our favorite horse face: Jean , where we see an "epic" duel between him and Sasha , ... this OVA is not something to take seriously, it's 95% comedy, it's decent if you ask me, I give it a 7 out 10

OVA 3:I think this OVA is the worst thing that has come out of Shingeki no Kyojin, to begin with, there is no trace of titans, and yes, I know that Shingeki does not depend on the titans to be good, (the first part of the 3rd season proves it) but that was very bad for this OVA, it doesn't feel like I'm watching the masterpiece that is Shingeki, it has a boring and insipid plot, I give it a 4 out of 10

Sorry if the review is shit, I'm not very good at writing them but hey, what can I do, thanks for reading

This Extra episodes of Shingeki no Kyojin doesn't agree to the main history.
Are 3 episodes with a normal duration, the first episode is really good because is a side story of a girl who die on a mission of recognizer and write her last moments before she was killed by a titan, the girl discovered something new about the titan. The titan can understand her when she talk and regret about something that she can understand, all was written on a diary of the mission which is discovered years ago by the scientist and motivated to catch titan's for study reasons.
The second story is a ... parody of Shokugeki no Soma (food wars) and chance the constructed personality for some chapters begging more stupid.
The third episode is about a mission when they are in the academy, and have to go to get one specific material to the A and B point, on the travel they was attacked by a group and take one hostage until he run away. Then they united a plan for take back his mate and all ended good.
This 3 OVAs episodes are not recommend if you look a extra content of Shingeki no Kyojin and don't deserve see them if you don't want to ruin the main history.
