My overall opinion on the story is that Shingeki no Kyojin is a modern classic, it takes so many aspects of what people consider justifiable and turns them upside down. Isayama shows that theres no objective right and wrong in the world of Shingeki no Kyojin. This season has already shown us the massive shift and changes in character development. Figures like Jean, Eren, Reiner and Armin show a massive shift in character. They aren't the way they used to be and it shows. Isayama shows the real life effects of war on people, from Reiners post traumetic stress disorder to oppersion and interment of

the Eldians still in Marley. Racism, suppremacism and indifference to rules of war are very well portrayed. Isayama has written Marley as something akin to Nazi Germany.
In short I love the real world parallels Isayama draws and the devotion to the characters he's supplied. Truely a modern masterpiece.
My opinion on the art and animation: It could've been better, but that's not the fault of the animators. I really wished AoT got another year of development. Regardless of that, with the time constraints and outside pressure Mappa did a phenominal job. The CGI is implementen in less important scenes and the highlights are animated as they should be. To give important details like that priority shows the team knows what people want and understands the audiences expectations.
The OST has been phenominal as always, helping stir up emotions at important scenes, I can't go too much into them without some spoilers but the music really fits those scenes where its implemented. Really happy they didn't reuse the same music from the previous seasons. Season 4 just has a different vibe to it, one that does NOT fit the OSTs from previous seasons.
Characters: What can I say, even Connie, a character I thought was shallow has some great development already in this season. Can't go into detail without spoiling the rest.
Overall a great season so far, keep up the good work MAPPA
