Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou

On his first day of junior high, Eren Yeager comes face-to-face with a titan—and has his lunch stolen! From that day on, he holds a grudge against titans for taking his favorite food from him, a cheeseburger, vowing to eliminate their kind once and for all. Along with his adoptive sister Mikasa Ackerman and their friend Armin Arlert, the trio traverse the halls of Titan Junior High, encountering familiar faces and participating in various extracurricular activities as part of the Wall Cleanup Club.

A parody of the immensely popular parent series, Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou places beloved characters as junior high school students, fighting to protect their lunches from gluttonous titans.

The first season of Attack on Titan turned out to be extremely popular, so the producers started investing in everything that was labeled "Attack on Titan", and this is the only reason why this spin-off exists in the first place. Despite the intent to milk the AoT franchise, this show made me laugh every episode and I want to thank the guy who came up with the idea of the characters being Japanese highschoolers. And if you think it's lame to enjoy some mediocre cash grab, I will suggest you to jump off a bridge, because it's not up to weebs to judge anyone's sense ... of humor.

The main question is if the show deserves the perfect score just for being entertaining? But it's not just entertaining; the team really cared about what they were doing. They've got the original voice actors and their acting keeps being amazing. The animation and the direction is better than the majority anime of the same genre as well. The story is not a parody; instead it makes a lot of AoT references when you don't expect them. Adding on top of that Sawano's epic ost and the chibi art style, these reference scenes end up being enormously ridiculous. To my surprise they reference the moments that weren't even adapted at the time. Aside from comedy, my favorite part about this show is the characters. Even though they are the same characters, they stopped being too simplistic ( with the exception where being 2 dimensional character is a part of the parody ) and they have much more screen time here than in all the other seasons combined.

In summary, Attack on Titan: Junior High isn't just a half-baked cash-grab, but rather the best anime comedy I've ever seen, and the best Attack on Titan anime solely for the characters chemistry, because I kind of gave on the characters after the third season.

Mixed Feelings

Attack on Titan: Junior high is a pretty okay parody of Attack on Titan. There's 12 episodes of 14 minutes if you exclude the opening/ending. Since it's a parody and it's based on the original anime you need to watch the first season of attack on titan before watching this. This parody also references the first episode of the attack on titan OVA quite a lot so it's probably worth watching that too.
There's at least one reference to an event in the second season but this reference isn't important and you don't have to watch the second season before watching this.

The story is ... a parody of attack on titan where all important characters are students or teachers and the titans are bullies who steal the student's food. It is in this setting that the parody recreates many of the scenes from the original anime, though not always in the correct order. A nice detail is that there's also a parody of the original opening which is pretty neat. The parody is pure comedy so if you don't like comedy this isn't worth watching.

The characters are the same as in the original anime but more one-dimensional and with some characteristics changed/taken to the extreme.

The animation is quite alright for a parody and there's nothing wrong with the voice acting. The music seems to be mostly taken from the original anime and simply re-used. This could be bad considering the atmosphere in the parody and the original anime is quite different but it seems to work out alright.

Overall this is a pretty okay parody and worth watching if you were a fan of the original and like the comedy genre.

Why does this exist? Don't get me wrong, transposing the characters of a serious action-horror series into a high school for a chibi comedy series might have worked if it was well written... but it wasn't. All we got were scenes and lines from the main series thrown into a high school context without much context. That's not funny, it's not even a joke. And it gets worse when the same "jokes" are repeated over and over, like the scene of Hange nearly getting her head chopped off. Did you laugh seeing it once? Well, you won't after the fifth freaking time!
Throwaway lines from the ... series, like Eren telling Mikasa that "I'm not your little brother and not some snot-nosed toddler" are also repeated several times throughout the series, and I just don't get why. They add nothing and feel really out-of place when added. Characters frequently have inconsistent personalities between scenes (especially Jean and Mikasa) as a result of the writers trying to combine the personalities of the original versions of the characters with the exaggerated weird personalities that the show is trying to give them.
With that said, the Dodgeball episode was hilarious, and I love how adorable they made chibi-Armin. The best episode by far though was the Halloween special, which combines so many insane ideas and ends with such a stupid nonsensical resolution that I couldn't help but laugh... But as I said, the laughs were rare and most of the jokes kept being repeated.
It also sucks that in this series, titans go to school just like humans (they eat people's lunch boxes instead of eating people), because it means that the school allowed Zoe Hange (one of their students) to kidnap and experiment on other students for science club. How would the parents feel about that?
In short, it's a mostly unfunny, endlessly repetitive series with only two (really) good episodes. Oh, and one where Jean falls in love with two vegetables. 3/10 not recommended.
