![]() ![]() As well as finally shedding light on how deep the organisation of the titans goes, these episodes provide huge bits of back story on characters like Levi and Historia – the former having been out of action for a lot of season two and the latter having become a key part of the story during it. The enemy is corruption and conspiracy, both of which lead back to the secrets of the titans. Instead season three takes a look at the ugliness within the last vestiges of humanity, as the Survey Corps come under fire from within the very government they serve. Perhaps most significantly because the first half of this season features barely any titan action at all. The context and back story Attack on Titan had so fiercely avoided suddenly take centre stage and to begin with the series couldn't feel any more different. ![]() But season three is where that all changes, as the answers we've all been waiting for finally arrive. Some elements, such as what's down in Eren's basement, felt so forgotten by the show that they had practically become a joke at this point. The shortened episode of season two certainly didn't help matters, but the biggest frustrations came from its penchant to end episodes on big cliffhangers and then follow them up with episodes covering something completely. If there's one thing that always managed to hold back Attack on Titan during its first two seasons it was its structure. The first 12 episodes aired in the summer of 2018, with the remaining ten following in spring 2019. Thankfully Studio WIT has freed up its schedule to ensure the wait for the next season wasn't anywhere near as gruelling, with Attack on Titan season three arriving shortly afterward for a full 22 episodes. Though fans' patience had finally been rewarded, a shortened 12-episode runtime made it feel like the Titan hype train was beginning to run out of steam. However the years continued to go by with no sign of a second season on the horizon, until that finally arrived four years later. Even after its 25-episode run Hajime Isayama's manga series continued, and the series was also adapted into two live-action films as well as a comedy spin-off. The success of that first season reached excelled beyond that of an average anime series, reaching a far wider audience as everyone seemed to want to talk about it. It was only a few years that you couldn't escape from Attack on Titan. Attack on Titan season 3 is available in streaming form via Crunchyroll ![]()
