Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 Part 2

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.

Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2, where do I even start? The Return to Shiganshina Arc is one of the most famous and popular arcs in anime history, and rightly so. The animation is incredible as usual, but the story is where it rockets. The internal conflict feels real. The desperation is genuine. We finally get to see the final stand against the titans, and what was in eren’s basement, Erwin’s speech is one of the most famous in all of fiction. With “My Soldiers Rage!” Being one of the most recognizable lines from the show. The intro is nice as it reflects the ... first while being unique in it’s own ways. The final moments of the season were some of the most tense yet. And with then finally reaching the sea, it truly feels like a worthy end to the series

NOW TIME TO WAIT FOR THE FINAL SEASON BABYYYYY

Mixed Feelings

The season has three arcs, each with vastly different levels of quality.

The first arc is, honestly, quite good by the series' standards. It follows a plotline that, for once, develops more or less naturally on its own. Most characters behave logically based on what they know, and their actions show a basic level of human competence. It’s still fairly predictable, which cheapens the impact of character deaths—you can see them coming from a mile away. (As soon as a new character was introduced in Episode 1, I jokingly asked out loud, 'How are you going to die this episode?'—and sure enough, I got my answer ... by the end of that episode.)

While there are some interactions driven by plot convenience, they don't pull the audience out of the experience. The main character remains a rare positive outlier in the series, seemingly immune to the writers' worst tendency to ruin characters in service of the plot.

Then arc two happens, and every small flaw gets amplified, while the good elements are gradually abandoned. We fall back into the show's typical habit of forcing characters into imbecilic behavior to make the plot work. The writing clearly wants certain dramatic moments to land, but doesn't always earn them through natural progression.

Once again, characters are violated to force the plot in a direction the writer clearly wanted, but couldn't achieve organically. Even previously well-established side characters are bent out of shape just to keep the plot moving. It becomes painfully predictable, frustrating, and, most of the time, just plain boring. The drawn elements looked good, but the generated ones looked terrible.

Arc three is essentially a multi-episode exposition dump. To the show's credit, it does resolve a lot of worldbuilding questions that had been hanging over the series since the beginning.

Overall, the first arc deserves genuine praise for its structure and character work, but the second arc drags the season down significantly. The final exposition arc is important, but nothing remarkable.

7.2/10

They say that this arc is a masterpiece, the best of simps no kyojin, at least I, I don't know in which head that can be said, it is a terrible arc like the whole work and now I will explain why:

Superficial sections such as art or sound are fine, although I managed to notice one or another frame that would serve for a meme, and being superficial details I would not add many points for that.

The only reasons why I see that they praise this arc is for Failed Zzzmith and Inutil Arlert, and at least for me two good characters do not save ... an entire work, in the other sections they fail, everything is so convenient, predictable and stupid, many Sometimes they repeat things that are already obvious, or that at the time of the syringe, those two are dying Zzzmith and Arlert but obviously as one is the protagonist and the other is secondary, it is quite obvious who they are going to save, and that they are still alive despite the fact that They are equal or more wounded than the other soldiers, but of course, we both need them alive to create a false drama.

I won't bother talking about the others too much because they are terrible, like the sacrifice of a minor character like Moblit and Hange's reappearance being both predictable and convenient, Connie and the Titans making jokes in the middle of seriousness, Sasha being a burden, Jean doing nothing but saving Hange in an equally convenient way, Eren and Mikasa being unbearable and selfish, not respecting the decision that their friend made, Levi jumping to kill Reiner instead of capturing him, and being able to carry so many titans and To the titan monkey despite being bleeding too much, Floch despite the fact that his salvation is very convenient seemed to me better than the others, especially his speech in chapter 12, the antagonists were better worked, although they do not save this disaster either, and the pure titans well Zeke made them look foolish. In conclusion the characters at least the vast majority are terrible from beginning to end.


The revelation that there is life behind the walls was a shit, so much suffering, sacrifices, corny monologues to reveal just something that everyone denied, and with Grisha's exposition, it is more of the same than anyone could deduce, but how Simps No Kyojin treats his audience as retarded is explained like this, and the story (at least up to this point) is well planned but the execution is a mess in its entirety.
Conclusion: This arc is a disaster just like the entire work, terribly unbearable characters, plot and narration being a shit that treats viewers like idiots, horribly executed story, more blatant conveniences and inconsistencies than previous seasons, revelations that serve to make gets too long, and it has no end, everything was left on the air for later seasons that would be worse than this.

2/10
