As teens flip through their televisions with boredom, anime shows
generally are included in the list of shows they’ve passed. In fact, many teens
may have caught quick snips of the anime Attack on Titan by Hajime
Isayama streaming on television just this April.
After
five years, the popular anime has finally released its second season. It has
been noted as a show admired by multiple students due to the heated storyline.
In
a world surrounded by walls, humanity has to face the fear of being eaten by
enormous creatures known as Titans. Many of these humans have never been
outside the walls, while others have risked their lives leaving the walls to
fight these Titans.
The
show is filled with suspense and action as the show includes intense conflict
and violent deaths.
First
discovering the show while scrolling through television, my initial thoughts
were that it would not be an engaging show. However, such plot and detail truly
hooked me to continue watching the series. The author focuses on each small
detail and drills holes to fill them with secrets. At the end, these secrets
all combine to form the large picture.
With
that, the unique villains known as “Titans” was also something that engaged me
into continuing to watch the show. Many action shows tend to contain a
repetitive enemy, such as killers or zombies. I found it very unique that
Attack on Titan used “Titans” as the enemies of humanity. The deaths and fights
that take place through the show also have caught my attention, for such events
naturally can pull people to watch more.
Such
action has allowed the anime to rise to fame among many students in America,
for many teens are fans of such conflict. News of the second season being
released struck multiple teens with excitement.
The
season’s final episode was released as the twelfth episode, which disappointed
multiple fans of the show. However, the season exposed multiple questions laid
in the first season, and multiple characters have slowly abandoned their
background shadows to play a larger role.
Since
Season One, the characters and the fans have been dying to find out the root of
Titan origin, for it has been unknown where Titans come from.
The
show revolves around 15-year old Eren Yeager, who is a young teenager
determined to eradicate Titans. His determination truly sparked after
encountering an intense loss caused by Titans.
Though
Eren seems like an ordinary citizen through the beginning of the show, his
importance becomes more relevant as episodes pass, and continues to increase
through the Second Season.
As Eren is definitely an
important character, there are multiple figures that also slowly climb the
ladder of importance through the season. The author and director of this series
has illustrated a crafty transition for minor characters to unveil their
importance.
When watching the anime,
viewers may have took note of different characters,, including the
determined Reiner or the quiet Bertholdt. With them include Krista Lenz,
who may seem to be just too selfless.
Though these characters
simply play characters for flavor during the first season, Isayama rises their
bars beyond their original appearances in the second season. In fact, these
characters may even hold keys to unlock some of humanity’s secrets.
Season
Two takes a large step closer to revealing the truth about Titans, as the
Survey Corps members finally uncover an idea of what may be inside the Titan.
With that, it is concluded that there are multiple people that can even shift
into a Titan. Season One reveals only two people who have done such an
astonishing act, but Season Two takes it even a higher notch.
Throughout
the season, conflict is created between humanity but filled with action. Such
discoveries closing the Season allow fans to be fired up for Season Three,
willing to see what more discoveries humanity will find.
After
watching the second season of this show, I felt excited to see various secrets
open up and how parallel the show was to the actual book itself. Definitely the
second season was filled with great quality illustration. What was
disappointing to me, however, is how short it was. Waiting for five years for a
second season only to find out that there are only twelve episodes is quite a
bummer.
The
ending of the season made me excited due to the sizzling suspense that was
released. As the characters discovered more secrets, it has lured me to be very
eager for what more has to come. Definitely, it was an incredible series to
watch.
Though
the truth is revealed deeper and deeper through the manga version, many fans
would rather watch the anime instead of read the manga. However, even the manga
has attracted the anime fans due to the intriguing plot.
Many
fans, including myself have definitely expected more from Season Two. The fact
that it was very short was the most disappointing. Definitely if there was more
to Season Two, I would be much more satisfied. However, I am not saying that it
was a terrible season.
The
new characters introduced and the conflict that rose really interested me, and
most likely other fans at well. Though I wished there was more in Season Two,
the author probably has a good reason why there were only twelve episodes.
Overall, the season definitely was great, although the major problem with
enjoying it is the result of how short the season really was.
Attack
on Titan is definitely on my list to recommend if one is looking for a show
filled with action. Most likely, the show will not fail to intrigue you.
As
Season Two has finally wrapped up, fans eagerly await for Season Three which is
to be released next year
