But there weren’t any show-stopping tracks like that this season. I love Sawano, and his specialty seems to be building up instrumental tracks towards an epic moment with a vocal song. The soundtrack was also a slight drop from the previous seasons. In terms of the animation, sure there was some janky rotoscoping and uncanny CGI, but those were only brief moments that broke immersion for me. I’ve seen a lot of people complain about MAPPA’s adaptation, but personally it made little difference since I never liked the art in the first place. He’s merely another generic “hero” who has nothing to add to the already simplistic message. Gabi's personality and motivations are identical to season 1 Eren…. Reiner is the tortured character who has lived on both sides of the war. The simplistic message of “There’s another side to the story” is established very quickly and repeated ad nauseum. The show seems to require motivations for every character… but it becomes so dragged out. You cannot tell a story about a fictional military drama with nontrivial politics AND have slice-of-life moments between the corps members AND try to build a strong shounen-esque trio opposing some “villainous” characters… and expect me to care about all of them. If you’re wondering about anything in the show, just expect a new titan mechanic to pop up, because the twists are impossible to predict based on the presented material. This show loves to divert for as long as possible, and then slap on new material when they need to answer questions. Am I expected to take this complete transformation and accept it as “development”? Now I’m newly perplexed about the missing pieces that formed Eren that way. The first arc establishes a new setting, new characters, even arguably a new protagonist in Reiner… And then re-introduces our protagonist whose personality has completely changed with no explanation. Have you ever been perplexed about a question as a kid and then when you asked an adult never got a straight answer? That’s how I feel about AoT S4. I’m gonna assume you watched seasons 1-3 so please do that if you don’t want to be spoiled.
