As a manga reader, I already know this is gonna be a masterpiece. Iseyamas writing for Eren is genius and might even come close or equal to Beserk or Vinland sagas character writing. Erens development over the 3 seasons perfectly symbolizes the process and power of aging and learning. Most people give up because of the trauma but Eren chooses to move forward but Iseyama has twisted Eren's defining trait, "fight on no matter what" into the morally grey by what season 4 will cover. He even brings back the words Eren shouted during the climax of the first 12 episodes of season 1 "Fight,
...
Fight, Fight...". The shift of viewpoint at the end of season 3 part 2 in Eren's motivation was an example of masterpiece level writing. No longer did he have a mother to avenge, a home to come back to, or a brainless, or evil, "monster" to hate. Instead, his real enemy was the worst kind... other humans. And during this season we will see how maturing in the cruel world he grew up in has turned him into a "monster". Attack on titan always has and always will be a monster story, but now the monster is Eren himself. As for the animation so far, MAPPA has done wonders with Erens titan transformation during ep 5. Most people couldn't even tell it was CGI. The sound design was top tier as always and the utilization of music during its scenes is amazing. The new op and ed have some very impressive animation and symbolism in them and suit the series quite nicely. Every manga reader screams when they watch the ed for the first time especially :). Overall I cannot give a complete breakdown on the deeper meanings of the story and truly criticize it yet due to the series not being done yet, but I think Ive written enough. ps historia is best worst girl
