Review – Attack on Titan season 3 Part 1
This is a review of the first half of season 3. If you’d like to catch up, or remind yourself of what happened previously, check out my review of season 1 HERE, and my review of season 2 HERE. Season 3 starts with Eren Jaeger and his friends joining commander Levi Ackerman’s squad against the giant human-eating titans. Everything looks to be as usual until the group gets targeted by a mysterious individual who wants to obtain Eren and Christa. With every zombie story, a conflict between human fractions is unavoidable. The way the anime adapts the original creator Hajime Isayama‘s version of this type of conflict is excellent. It…

Andy Muschietti to Direct Warner Bros.’ ATTACK ON TITAN Live Action Movie
Remember my post back that I wanted another attempt for a live-action Attack on Titan movie? If not, you can find it here. Well, it looks like I might get my wish granted. Andy Muschietti, director of IT and its upcoming sequel, is set to direct a live-action adaptation for Warner Bros. Hopefully, WB can succeed with the movie as they did with Edge of Tomorrow (minus the marketing), Bleach, and to some extent, Illang: The Wolf Brigade. Considering the tone and horror elements that Attack of Titans contains, I think Andy Muschietti is perfect for the job! What do you think of this choice of director? Do you like it? Do…

Review: ATTACK ON TITAN Season 3 Episodes 2-6
Just like with the Eden Zero review HERE, the missing episodes of Attack on Titans will be reviewed all at once. When I last left them off, Eren and the gang had gotten ambushed by The Military Police. To make matters worse, it looks like the leader of the squad that ambushes them is someone that has a dark history with Levi. Where the anime is right now, shows perfectly why many calls this show Japan’s The Walking Dead. Instead of focusing on Titan killing action, there is now a lot more political conflicts inside the wall. But honestly? I think Attack on Titans execute the “trust no one” scenario…

Review: ATTACK ON TITAN Season 3 Episode 1
Holy animation craze Batman. Three manga/anime related reviews in such a short amount of time? Maybe I should change my twitter handle to Animemaniacs after all. Anyway, after my week of Attack on Titan related posts, it felt like a no-brainer to cover season 3. Wasn’t so sure if I should do an episode by episode review, or an overall season review like the previous two. But after some days of thinking, I decided to try the former just for the sake of it. Without further ado, let the review begin. The mystery from season two just keeps getting bigger as Eren and his friends are on the run. Unlike…

Opinion: Why ATTACK ON TITAN Needs Another Live Action Adaptation
After my reviews (or should I call them rants) of the live-action adaptations, you probably did not expect this post (unless you read the schedule obviously). I’ve always believed that Attack on Titan is a franchise with cinematic potential. A failed attempt, no matter if it is from the land where the source material comes from or an attempt from the west. No matter what your thoughts are about Netflix’s adaptation of Death Note, there is a successful live-action adaptation from Japan. On the western side, we have the live-action adaptation of the light novel with the name of All You Need is Kill, or Edge of Tomorrow as the…

ATTACK ON TITAN 2 Video Game Review
In Attack on Titans 2, you play through season one and two of the anime. However, instead of playing as any of the pre-existing characters you play as a self-created Avatar. Using an Avatar in a game that wants to re-tell an already told story is always a red flag for me, and this game was no exception. Granted, I get the appeal of being able to be “you”, interacting with your favorite character no matter the franchise. The outcome can only end up in two ways. A) The game is treating your Avatar as a side character, interacting with the other characters. While you get praise and accomplish things,…

Review: ATTACK ON TITAN Live Action (Part 2)
The second movie takes off where the first one left off. What more can I really say as a synopsis? You know the saying “it might get better from here”? I wished this statement would fit when it came to these live-action adaptations, but sadly they don’t. If anything it is only making it worse. The only benefits that this second part has over its predecessors is that it tries to world build. But going one step forward is not an overall improvement when you at the same time walk steps backward. I don’t know how they pulled it off, but the movie looks uglier than the previous attempt (and…

Review: ATTACK ON TITAN Live Action (Part One)
If your franchise gets popular enough, a live-action treatment is bound to happen. This movie is the first part of a live-action adaptation of the titan-sized franchise that I have posted about for the last four days. The synopsis goes like season one of the anime; we follow the likes of Eren Jaeger and his friend’s training so that they can be apart of the army that fights against the Titans, humanoid monsters who feeds on people like they were strawberries on a bush. I was first thinking of doing a video review for this movie. If I did that, you would have me sit there in chock, and an…

Review: Attack on Titan Junior High
Attack on Titan; a dark, gritty franchise, filled with death and despair. With the franchise being so popular, it’s a no brainer it should get a spin off right? What about a comedy spin-off? Cause that’s what we’re going to talk about, the Attack on Titan comedy spin-off, Attack on Titan Junior High. Yes, you read that right. Attack on Titan Junior High is a comedy (a slice of life comedy to be exact). Putting the name Attack on Titan and the word comedy next to each other feels like I’m eating a broccoli soup where the main ingredient is supposed to be an oreo dipped in chocolate cream. In…

Review: ATTACK ON TITAN Season 2
Season two starts off where the last season ended. Eren Jaeger and his friends are still at war with the humanoid eating Titans. It doesn’t get any easier as more mysteries and enemies are discovered along the way With season one’s massive popularity, you would think that season two would have been right around the corner. But unfortunately, we all had to wait four years before we could continue the animated adventures of Eren Jaeger and his friends. The second season starts off with a short recap of the first season before picking back up where it left off and going full. Just like before, this season is truly a…
