Synopsis

For centuries, humanity has been hunted by giant, mysterious predators known as the Titans. Three mighty walls—Wall Maria, Rose, and Sheena—provided peace and protection for humanity for over a hundred years. That peace, however, was shattered when the Colossal Titan and Armored Titan appeared and destroyed the outermost wall, Wall Maria. Forced to retreat behind Wall Rose, humanity waited with bated breath for the Titans to reappear and destroy their safe haven once more.

In Shingeki no Kyojin Season 2, Eren Yeager and others of the 104th Training Corps have just begun to become full members of the Survey Corps. As they ready themselves to face the Titans once again, their preparations are interrupted by the invasion of Wall Rose—but all is not as it seems as more mysteries are unraveled. As the Survey Corps races to save the wall, they uncover more about the invading Titans and the dark secrets of their own members.

Shingeki no Kyojin Season 2
Took me a period to finished this hahahaaa,but damn this was a good watch. I am going to give a 8.25 honest rating for this.

In terms of story, of course this anime continues the story from the previous season. With a twist and mystery that makes the story more interesting. The plot hole given also had a better impression than the previous season which was expected to be explained in the stories of the following seasons. In terms of characterization, somehow the interaction between the characters feels stiff and not free. With an outpouring of emotions that are not clearly aimed ...

Mixed Feelings

Season 2 of Attack on Titan is a mess. I'm tempted to say, "this is where the show jumps the shark", but I have not yet experienced the later seasons. I guess, season 2 is about that point in the story where the creator decided that his story should have some more twists to it. Unfortunately, Attack on Titan seems to only be able to pull off two kinds of twists:
Type A) The twists that are painfully obvious.
Type B) The twists that end up deflating the weight of the story and almost ruin the wonderful setting of the show.

The writing in general seems awfully sloppy ... here and very much gives off the feel of "just making shit up as I go". Lots of "do you remember that one life defining moment we had? Here's a flashback sequence of it, because we haven't actually established it (aka the writer only just now came up with it)". The lack of patience and proper buildup is astounding. If a thing is set up, it will either pay off immediately during the span of one episode or it will be brushed aside and left unresolved for the rest of the season.

I wonder why the story went out of it's way to prevent Annie from acting as the source of our exposition by having her encased in crystal. It basically made the victory at the end of season 1 feel hollow and bitter. But the exposition Annie could have organically delivered gets dumped on us very soon afterwards (in manga release timeframe anyways) by other characters, so her whole cocoon maneuver seems like a net negative for the flow of the story. At the time, I thought the Season 1 ending was bold. "There are no real victories in war" -kinda thing. Now, I think it's painfully obvious that it was just the writer stalling for some more time to scramble together some sort of plan.

I am almost certain that Rainer's split personality was an afterthought that had to be worked into the story in order for the character's actions to make any kind of sense in hindsight. Ymir turns her coat so many times in such a short period of time that the coat is basically just flickering on her. I suppose she is supposed to come off as volatile, to keep the audience on the edge of their seats, but it just comes across illogical and frustrating instead.

Attack on Titan still has a lot of great things going for it. The art style and animation is still gorgeous and the Hiroyuki Sawano soundtrack is still A+ quality. The setting, despite season 2's best efforts, is still excellent and the titans are still one of the most horrific monsters I've ever seen in any media. All of this the show still has. But what is actually happening on the screen, in the present, is so tremendously stupid at times that the positive qualities almost don't matter. That is what makes AOT season 2 so frustrating, it completely fumbles with handling the fantastic framework for an epic story that it built for itself during season 1.

Not Recommended

Other than the male x male shipping, I am not finding many reasons to like this show anymore.

Half of the season is practically a collection of cliche action scenes. People teleport from the sky to save the day, others swing in the sky with spider-man gears, evil people sit on the face of someone just to prove that they indeed evil, Levi declares he is an insane badass by committing an act that distantly resembles the twisting of an arm. So fucked up! I am scared, literally how can man be this insane. Please, no, not the arm.

The other half is practically a parody of ...
