Attack on Titan Season 3 |OT| We're in the perfect game now [READ STAFF POST]
- Thread starter PhantomKnight

- OT
I tried to read ahead in the manga after season 2 but I really didn't like the art, glad this is finally here. It feels weird only waiting for a year for new AoT after the time difference between seasons 1 and 2. Attack on Titan and Psycho Pass were the two shows that got me back into anime after not watching any since I was a kid, crazy to think that was 5 years ago.
Yeah should be up around the same time the Crunchyroll episode goes up. They did it last season and iirc they were never more than a few minutes late.
The art gets a lot better but it's still an acquired taste.
Personally I love the manga art style, it's so good and works in favor of the story.
It's a shame that the dub sucks. Eren and Armin always sound really unnatural to me.
Apparently titans have breached the second set of walls so they send scouts out to find the breach in the wall. Meanwhile Mike encounters the Beast Titan who can not only speak like a human, but is also able to control the mindless titans. He takes Mike's ODM gear and has the titans devour him. Later that night the scouts, being unable to find any holes in the wall, take refuge up in an old castle, Utgarde Keep. To their surprise, a large pack of titans, lead by the beast titan, attack the keep that night. As more scouts are getting killed, Ymir reveals she can turn into a titan and fights the mindless ones attacking the castle. Just before she is ripped apart by them an entire squad of scouts show up and clean up the rest of the titans.
Later that day after hoisting each other up onto the wall Reiner starts losing his mind and nonchalantly reveals that he and Bertholdt are the Armored and Colossal. Mikasa attempts to cut them down on the wall but hesitates and they transform and try to take Eren. He transforms into the Attack Titan and battles the Armored for a time while the rest of the scouts take on the slow and immobile Colossal stuck on the wall, but they can't touch him due to the immense steam being emitted. Eren outsmarts Reiner in the fight and right before he is able to extract Reiner from his titan form, the Colossal falls on them. Reiner and Bertholdt are able to extract Eren and injure him enough to kidnap him.
Once everyone else recovers and comes to they gather their energy and resolve and head to the tall forest where Reiner and Bertholdt have taken Eren and Ymir to heal up. They make a bargain with Ymir while Eren flails, armless, uncontrollably. Once the scouts make it to the forest the others take off with Eren while Ymir stays back and steals Historia(formerly Krista) before rejoining the other titan shifters who have hopped onto the Armored titans back as he leaves the other side of the forest. After a drawn out chase, the scouts catch up with them while Erwin, being the crazy bastard he is, leads a swarm of mindless titans right to the shifters to slow them down. Eventually they are able to get Eren away while Armin torments them by telling them Annie is being horrifically tortured inside the walls.
Eren and Mikasa, both injured, reunite and encounter the grinning feminine titan that consumed Eren's mother. Hannes takes the titan on in an attempt to avenge Eren's mother but is ultimately killed and eaten. Eren starts losing it because he is unable to transform due to the fact that he still recovering from his wounds. He ends up taking the titan on while in human form, striking the titans hand with his fist while screaming in rage. Suddenly something flips on in the countless mindless titans surrounding them all as they all go for the grinning titan. They consume it, leaving not a spot of flesh behind. The scouts start making their retreat while the Armored titan spots them and starts coming after them. Eren screams again and directs the titans at the Armored and Bertholdt. Ymir bails on Historia to go save the other shifters. It's later revealed that all 3 shifters survived, and that Reiner and Bertholdt will take Ymir back to their home.
Ah yeah and Erwin lost his arm.
Wow, thanks! That worked great. I loved that season and I can't wait for this new one.
No problem! Me either, this season is twice as long as last season so it should be twice as insane lol
As a manga reader I can tell you that it only gets more bananas as it progresses. The climax for this season will be absolutely insane and I'm guessing it will span several episodes. It will probably be the most memorable thing from all three seasons by far.
Beyond that the manga is good but gets really controversial in tone and subject, so it will at least be extremely interesting in anime form.
Waaa there's a third season already. The wait between first and second season was so crazy long. It feels like this shouldn't be out yet.
I'm fucking ready.
The betrayal reveal last season is probably one of my favorite anime moments in history, the direction in that episode was perfect.
If there are moments in S3 that come close consider me happy.

Lol same. We need a recap
Edit: Theres a recap above in this thread!
Good to see s3 relatively quick after s2, now I just need to finish that season! I don't really remember where I was so I'll just rewatch from the first episode
Oh it's today! Awesome, hopefully this is a good season.
One of the most anti-climactic reveals ever, IMO. Didn't like this scene at all.
With this out today and Better Call Saul around the corner, I have a reason to live, yay! This summer is gonna be good.

I think they'll pull it off.
I'm greatly looking forward to this season! I hope both cours aren't split up.
We still don't really know how many cours this "season" will air for.

Yes
You can watch both seasons dubbed on Funimation.
Not from the US so can't say for sure, but Netflix might have the first season dubbed.
Genuinely the highest praise I can give the upcoming arcs is that I'm excited to follow this thread and read people's reactions.
It's, genuinely, top tier story telling. The manga is my favourite form of entertainment, in any media, I am currently following.
It's going to be so good.

Did they accidentally swap the ED with the OP? Even if this season is going to be more "low key", what a disappointing dud of an opening
I surprisingly like this intro. Definitely a different tone overall compared to the bombastic Linked Horizon ones we've gotten in the past.
