First of all, this review might contains some manga spoiler on it, not really much just some monologue or dialogue that i liked.
Attack on Titan, in my opinion, is arguably the best anime ever exist. It's not flawless, but it's masterpiece regardless with few flaws on it. Why? Because everything goes progressively, at the first time i watched Attack on Titan around 2014-2016 i feel like it's just an usual shonen with darker theme(with some potentials to be better than any other show). And it's literally went like how i've thought before, Attack on Titan become one of most phenomenal anime that time, hence its

joined any other anime as the gatekeepers, which is something impressive because anime popularity competition is one of most tightest competition, just like K-Pop popularity competition.
Regarding to Season 2, i dont really found it interesting except Reiner and Bertholdt true identity, infamous Erwin's SUSUMEEE, Beast Titan existence, and Hannes death. Fortunately, those what i've found interesting are literally something so big related to the plot. Reiner-Bertholdt-Zeke identity drove us to a big reveal about actual AoT universe, Erwin "SUSUMEEE" also ascended to something unforgetable, and Hannes death unexpectedly plays a big role for AoT universe morality state, atleast for Eren, main character of this series. It's also applied on both cour of S3, which is considered as something really great by most peoples who already witnessed it.
Now, moving to S4, i'll start my review here:
Story - 10/10
It's really a great idea to change its theme to something more complex after Basement Reveal in S3P2. Because, the meaning of Basement Reveal is exploring a new world, which something that main casts never did before. Of course, it's stupid if the theme stays black and white because they had to interact with other countries, and you shouldn't apply black and white logic for it. You cant, actually, even if you want. It's because of diversion whether its race, ideology, point of view, purpose, fetish, even something like what netflix series you liked the most. Unless you're tolerant with others or you had enough power to force your thoughts to avoid diversion.
This is literally the main point of this season, it's all about complexity of main casts relation/connection with outside world, especially Marley.
On Marley Arc, we're given something that strengthen its plot point that we shouldnt really apply black and white logic. For example, the reason why Marley decides to invade Paradis 5 years ago drove Eren to did the same. We can call it a revenge but historically and objectively speaking, both of them are reasonable and justifiable according to some approaches and point of view. It's a black and white logic, that's why if they keep doing this on and on, it wont meet its end, until the end of the world. Of course, applying greyness logic is really hard too and it costs a lot of things.
On the next arc, this problem ascended to something even more complex than it already is. I wont tell exactly what's gonna happen but in my honest opinion, the answer that Isayama gave us was really perfect regarding to this problem. Thus why i gave it a 10.
Art - 9/10
I dont really care about my visual entertainment but i do have standard for it. In my opinion, this season deserves 9. Aside from imperfect animation, i loved character design, environment, close-ups by MAPPA more than i liked WIT version of it. It's far from bad but i had to agree with some peoples that it deserves something better.
Sound - 15/10
I'll start this with voice actings. I really really really loved their voice actings, i believe most of you agreed with this one. You can notice easily their dedication to live up their character. Yuki Kaji, Ayane Sakura, Hosoya, Natsuki Hanae, Inoue, and Kensho Ono is the best so far, atleast for me. This one aspect never failed to entertain me.
"I will keep moving forward until my enemies are destroyed" - Hobo Eren
"THE DEATH OF YOUR MOTHER IS MY FAULT" - Suicidal Reiner
"LAINAAAAAAAAAAH TASUKETEEEEEE" - that loud annoying brat
"YOURE FOOLING ME MISTER KRUGER" and "RAINAAAAAA" - My boi Falco
"THIS BATTLE IS OUR VICTORY!" - King Floch
About music, no cap Boku no Sensou is a banger. It also really suits current theme of Attack on Titan. There's a lot of great OST placement too, especially Ashes on The Fire and plenty of OSTs in episode 7. But maybe i want something new from Kohta Yamamoto or Hiroyuki Sawano, something that can makes me eargasm.
Characters - 11/10
Most people thinks that Attack on Titan characters are way too cheap and they think it's bad. I thought it's the otherwise. I'm really good about knowing other person character in real life and that's why i gonna say that most of Attack on Titan character are exist on real life. Emo Eren and Levi, Cowardice Armin and Floch, Annoying Gabi, an easy-going person like Zeke and Jean, also air-headed Connie and Sasha. They dont have to be something like Meruem, Light Yagami, Johan Liebert, Kyuubey, Naruto, Kirito, Keyaru, or Pico which is well-written to be liked. Because Attack on Titan characters were actually exist in real life, they just had to be themselves to be relateable. That's why a lot of peoples feeling bad for certain character death even if their character is.cheap.
Aside from that, there's a lot of interesting and well written characters such as Eren, Jean, Zeke, Yelena, Floch, Reiner, and Gabi. Even if most peoples didnt like other character cheapness, those name i've mentioned above overshadowed it(once again this is why AoT is masterpiece because its greatness always overshadowed its flaw).
Enjoyment 20/10
The last time when my enjoyment is immeasurable was when i watched Lord of The Ring trilogy and Death Note years ago, i screamed the shit out of myself due to hype, crying over its drama, etc etc which is kinda embarassing i wont tell you guys about it. To be honest, usually i was really plain while watching films or animes, you can tell i'm setting a high standard, which is funnily slammed to the ground by Attack on Titan, really hard.
Overall 10/10
It's all really solid on every aspects, i'll give Attack on Titan about everything with 8.9 as my lowest rate, but it deserves 10 so i will give it 10. I wish i could rate it higher though.
In conclusion, my thoughts can be summarized with Levi monologue on chapter 113, which is "Things that we have dedicated so bad has gotten us to this farce? Gimme a break!" but in positive means.
