MAPPA did not ruin AoT, please shut the fuck up about that. This is an actual review without mentioning 3D CGI.
This is a step down for sure from previous seasons in a more subtle way. The current director tried so hard to replicate Tetsuro Araki direction style but kinda fails. But in my opinion, that doesn't reduce the overall quality of Attack on Titan itself, because what AoT needs especially in final season is not amazing action sequences and such, but just a resolution to deep, personal level conflict. Season 3 part 1 has almost no action compared to its previous seasons, but it's one
...
of the most engaging season. With that said, MAPPA did AoT Final season justice.
From sound effects to voice acting, it complement each other and makes attack on titan a treat to watch. Just for a simple scene, we can actually nitpick it and find out that MAPPA paid attention to even a smallest detail. On episode 2, 21.52 minute mark, you can see Reiner seing Gabi and Falco training, as he talks to himself, “Will I have to go again? To that island..”. This scene tells us so much how Reiner feels about his own past, even though its already been told before but this scene is just a really nice detail. He looks at gabi and falco as he reminisce his training days just before he got his titan powers and went to Paradis Island. This still picture of Reiner is not just him being serious, but also it shows that reiner is traumatized by his own past. His voice doesn’t sound like he’s being serious “ah shit here we go again”, but a depressive type of “ah shit, here we go again”.
Other than what makes AoT great, that's where my main criticism lies. It's action and music.
Even i said that AoT doesn't need this kind of hype machine anymore, that doesn't mean i can't criticize their effort to make one. For some reason, The action scenes don't feel impactful. Maybe it's because of the sound effects.
On episode 6, starting from 11.24 minute mark to 11.30 there are already some issue for me. The first one is Warhammer titan’s roar. I don’t think that the delivery from the voice actress is bad, but I do think that it lacks of editing in the sound department. You see, titan is big. When a thing as big as a titan is roaring, it should not be like this, like a regular human roar. I don’t know sound terms of this, but it should sound coming from a big ass creatures. Take beast titan as an example. His titan voice feels its coming from a big creature, echoing and feels heavy. Same with female titan and eren’s titan. This voice of Warhammer titan makes it feel less scary and menacing.
Second, the sound effects in general. When Warhammer titan smashes the ground with her big ass hammer, it doesn’t sound like it. Again, it just feels like a regular sized hammer smashed the ground. This errors in sound department really ruin the experience for me.
Third, music selection. This is not restricted only to that scene I just pointed. This part applies to this whole episode, that is episode 6. The music selection feels like just a filler. In previous seasons, the animation choreography goes well with the music. It doesn’t feel the music is chosen because it fits the scene that already been made, but the animation itself is made based on the music and the music is made based on the scene. This means the previous director had a really good communication with the composer. In this season…it doesn’t feel like it.
My complaints seems a lot, but really its just a tiny portion of the season. MAPPA did not ruin season 4. Not at all. WIT adaptation is not perfect either, but they got many things right, just like MAPPA.
I won't talk about the story. It's just pure greatness, you gotta see it for yourself.

Oh boy. It's been a long time.
Ok, i'll keep it short. I know you all too lazy to read.
You know, it's just boku no hero academia. And it's a shounen series.
It's about superhero, and a kid who wants to be number 1 hero.
My opinion, this season is far more interesting than the last one. It has more plot and character development.
But, just like last season, the first half are more interesting than the second half. In this season, the first half is about the villains attack (you remember the villain attack from season 1? Yes, it's similiar), and the second half is about superhero
...
school sol and... it kind of boring, if i would say.
But, you will not much mind it because of the animation and the ost. Yes, its amazing.
I think the staff did a great job to this one. I can't wait for the next season.
P.s : If the next season has school life kind of thing, i think i'll put this series in my on-hold list until it has interesting arc.

Naruto Shippuden is my favourite anime of all time. i followed this anime since i was little. this anime may have some lack, i still love this anime.
Story : 10/10
there may many people think naruto is some ordinary anime. i won't say so. From previous series, we knew that naruto dreams to become hokage someday, then he faces new conflict about sasuke is out from the village, and naruto is planning to get sasuke back. We may thinking about this series is about friendship ( getting sasuke back ), but is not as simple as that. Naruto faces a secret organization named akatsuki and they
...
had ambition to take all tailed beast. The akatsuki came, things getting complicated. Things are going beyond naruto and sasuke simple thinking. Sasuke, who has ambition to become stronger and kill his own brother, is regretting after succeeded killed itachi. Itachi has his own reason why he killed all uchiha clan member, and why he joined akatsuki,etc. and itachi kept it as secret. After killed his own brother, sasuke joined akatsuki, then willing to search for the truth about itachi.
Next is naruto. Naruto may be the most sad character. He is targetted by the akatsuki, and succeeded beating some of them. Later he found the truth about her father, mother, and himself.
The fight in this anime is not meaningless. It's not just fighting the villain after hardwork and win. It teach us many things. Like in the Pain Arc, Naruto is confused by nagato's question about how to make a peaceful world, and many meaningful things, not just that.
And my main reason why i liked the story is, everything is explained. The character backpast, the villain's motive, even the beginning of chakra.
Art : 9/10
It may be simple, but liked it. i think it does match with the anime. The fighting scene animation is smooth and i like it.
Sound : 8/10
I like the soundtrack, especially the opening and the ending. They are great. The sound that inserted in many scenes are matched and great. But, some fighting soundtrack is sounded too heroic, but it's acceptable to me.
Character : 10/10
The best. The character in this anime has their uniqueness, like their personality, their skills, etc.. The characters from the previous series are more mature. I really like the character development by feeling sadness and learning the truth.
Enjoyment : 9/10
I can't give 10/10 because there are toooo many fillers. Some filler episodes may be touching but they keep using the touching theme and then i bored. They are not important ( obviously ). I usually skip the filler episode ( I know the main story because i read the manga first ).
Overall : 9/10
Naruto shippuden is one of my most favourite anime of all time. It has deep story and unique character. Though it has many fillers, and many people hated it.
----- Sorry for grammar mistakes, and this is my first review. Thank you for reading.-----
