So here we have it, the last season of attack on titan, the series that a few people have hated and many loved throughout the years. Although I would say that from the pace at which it is moving in this season which is 1.5/2 chapters per episode, this may not be the "final" final season but actually final season part 1 because I suspect that it may adapt upto chapter 122 which also was the last scene showcased in the trailer. I never thought that this series would evolve so much, from a straightforward shounen story about killing titans to deep politics and exciting ... history and revelations after season 3, I was hyped up for this season like MAAAAAD. I caught up to the manga and now I can say that many people won't consider this as the greatest anime of all time but for me personally, it already has started showing the sign that the ending will be as good as I have been imagining it to be.

Story-8 :
Now now, I won't be like those fans and be like, "OH MA GAWD, THE STORY SHO DEEP SO PHILOSOPHICAL OOOOOH. EREN THIS EREN THAT, LEVI SO HOOOTTT OMGGGGGGGG." no, fuck no. Thats just straight up awful. The reason why I like it so much is that when I first watched the series which was around the time when s2 started airing, I was like hmm....This was a pretty OK series and I ddnt know whether I should start watching s2 or just dump it there. I decided to dump it and move on. Fast-forward 2 years later. I was just randomly chilling on Youtube and saw gigguk's video titled, "Attack on titan is incredible now". I got curious and started watching season 2 and ended up completing the whole thing in 2 days. And what I saw within those two days left my jaw hanging. The way that this series went from a generic shounen to a full political, horror/thriller was something I had never seen in a "shounen" anime before. Mind you I said "shounen". And as of now 4 episodes of season 4 have been released and the way MAPPA is adapting the plot is almost perfect although I would say that I did find some hiccups here and there so if they plan on fixing it later, I will update my review when this is done airing.

Art-8:
I would say that Isayama has improved a LOT in the past few years regarding his art. I remember reading the manga back in 2018 and seeing that the drawings were so janky that it was impossible to read and now, the manga panels look very good, almost perfect for the story. And the way MAPPA adapted those panels really makes me feel like I am actually watching Isayama's work animated. I prefer this over WIT although their work was pretty good too.

Character-10:
What can I even say about the characters of AOT that hasnt already been said? Probably the most human characters for me in any shounen out there. For the complaints of characters not having any emotions and depths, Eren's mother and Eren was explained very clearly in the memories of grisha jaegar in S3 and small details were given in the first episode too. Marco's death and how he died showed us the characters of the trio annie, bert and reiner and why they behave like that. All the characters had their back-stories told and if you didn't care for them despite that, it doesn't mean that they suck as characters, its just that you were looking for something else in them and what you found was not according to how you were expecting things to go. And for people hating on jean's character saying its useless, just watch this season and then say that.

Enjoyment/Overall-10:
Now, I usually rate my series according to how I liked/enjoyed it and not the method of rating art goes through stuffs like pacing, consistency blah blah. AOT was one of the rare shows that improved as the seasons went on and that alone was enough to make me convinced that isayama will now disappoint me with the ending. I might edit this review in future because you never know what will happen but till now, its my favorite series out of all I have watched and I hope that it will be forever.

This was just a really good AMV, nothing else. The plot about he falling in love with an alien who saves his life from bad guys is good IG. Giving it a 7/10 stars for the music.

The animation was pretty well done in the first few seconds but as soon as they went outside into the space, it seemed like they were running short out of budget so the quality kinda downgraded.

Autotune used in the song kinda left me a bad taste in my mouth but it still was better than what the modern day rappers do.

And plus its only six minutes long ... so it wont be a problem to give it a try. And you wont find it anywhere else except youtube.

This manga may not be the best "horror" manga out there but the imagery in it is so damn creepy that there is a very low chance that you may have ever seen anything like this before(except the works of ito junji). The artstyle is much like zatchbell, I am not complaining.

Story : 7/10

This is basically about a girl Misaki nanao, who thinks everyone in the town is crazy and after a random monster pops up in her house and says that she is the one who is crazy and then the girl tells stories about the happenings around her so that she ... can prove that the world is crazy not her.

The story is not that complex, anyone can read it and understand it. Though its not the best one out there, its quite difficult to bring out flaws in it. In my first read, I didn't even notice any of them. But there definitely is some amount of lazy writing in the first chapter of the manga as to how the monster pops out of no where.

Art : 9

Even if the art-style may look like from Zatchbell, it does not affect the manga at all. The nightmare-ish images in it is pure gold, which alone enhances this already good manga to a "great" manga. It also adds up to the rather mild creepy narration to make it scary as hell.

Characters : 6

There are not many characters in this manga other than the two main protagonists and to be honest, the character writing in this manga is not that great. Its fairly mediocre at its best. Taking the fact that it relies on short stories, I didn't expect good character writing. But still, out of the two main protagonists, the only one with some "character" is Misaki. We know that she is the typical teenager that hates everything. The other character "Beherin" as we know it, is just used as a plot device to tell the stories.
It was pretty disappointing.

Enjoyment: 9

Even though the characters may disappoint you, it has nothing to do with the enjoyment. Right after the first chapter, it hooks you up and you want to read more. The creepy images shown may be a bit too much but that's the thing which increases the excitement by 100 times. It just gets creepier and creepier and more messed up each chapter.

Overall: 8

I absolutely love this manga and it definitely got me started to read some more horror stuffs. It is nowhere near to be a masterpiece but its still good enough to be one of my favorites so far. I recommend everyone should give it a try.
