When last year Season 3 was declared to be split cour there was a considerable sadness among the fans because of the delay.But it actually came as a blessing in disguise.This season had probably the highest anticipation till now and it goes without saying there was lot of expectation and honestly WIT Studio was able to deliver it.Whether they will pick up SNK again or not is not clear at this point but this season will probably be their best work for a long time.

Story-10/10
The story picks up from season 3 part 1 where the SC sets off to liberate Wall Maria and
...
to know what is in the Basement,On the surface it may appear very simple but constant plot twists and thriller like environment completely blows away your mind.The story flowed in a smooth manner and never once do you feel bored.Even the parts that the anime added and which was not in the manga fits well enough that you won't feel it being added at all.All the foreshadowings that we saw in previous seasons becomes quite clear in this season,and you will be left wondering that even the smallest hints actually pointed to a larger picture.Another point i will like to focus on how well they portrayed war can be like we see in real life.War is not here idealistic,it is not to gain some achievements or Medals in battle but it is a battle for survival and the story drives this point home.And when you finish the story you will have a feeling of satisfaction at the ending.
Art-8/10
WIT studio did a fabulous job in this field.The art style of the manga has been improved tremendously,especially the battle scenes which are brought to life.Though there are few scenes where the animation looks mediocre but more or less the story and the animation here fits well.Though there is one part which i didn't like and that is the CGI Colossal Titan,It looks bad and it is a downgrading from the first season but we don't see it too much so it can be ignored.So overall i can't give it perfect score in this category.
Sound-10/10
The Sound and music and always been the strength of Attack on Titan Anime and this season manages to maintain it,the opening song was nicely done along with ED.The background music perfectly brings out the atmosphere of the story,at times when the music plays it feels as if the music itself is telling the story.Special thanks to Sawano for this performance.Also the seiyuu's did a great job and really brought their emotions while voicing their respective characters.
Characters-10/10
This season had probably the best character development till now.The characters don't appear simply organic,rather they look human like and we see our own reflections upon them.The main characters like Eren and Mikasa show their fear,determination and even their dark sides while facing adverse circumstances.Armin rose to show his determination and his beliefs that it nearly brings tears in your eyes.Bertolt is another character who showed his maturity and character development that you are bound to praise him.But the real man in this show is definitely Erwin.Whatever might be his role in the previous seasons this time his character development is legendary,his guilt,his determination and his courage was amazingly portrayed.The way he instigated the scouts in a suicidal strike it will remain in our mind for a long time.Even minor characters like Floch has their moments too.
Enjoyment-10/10
This season is the best season till now according to my opinion,i feel this is one of the greatest works i saw in quite a while,I don' know if the fourth season will surpass it but for now this will remain in my mind for a long time,i will probably watch it soon enough to enjoy it while binge watching.
So i suggest everyone to try it,you didn't like previous seasons that much,doesn't matter you may like this quite well.You will glue yourself to the screen and will not be able to move until you finish the anime.
