Genre – Anime Comedy Series
Movie Total Runtime – 3 Hour 24 Minutes
Spoilers – Not Really
So, I’ve never watched the original Attack on Titan. I’ve heard good things about it. This wasn’t a RiteStuff blind box, but a title so absurd I bought it on its own. I have a habit of being willing to give the most absurd concepts a fair shake – at least when it’s from Japan. So, an official middle school alternate universe Attack on Titan anime nabbed my attention more than the original series. The first episode establishes a few things rather succinctly. Yes, this is a comedy, and no, slapstick is not off limits as the main character literally collides with every other student character on their way to the first day causing catastrophes with their lunches. They then wander into the wrong wing of the school, ending up in the Titan side where everything is Titan scale before someone gets them back where they belong.
Now, I do know that in the original, the Titans had this habit of eating people and thus causing tragedy for the surviving characters. This is ill-fitting for the comedic tone of this show. So instead of eating people, the Titans have a habit of eating people’s lunches. And the main character really likes his hamburgers. He very much wants to join a club dedicated to beating up Titans for the crime of eating his food. No such club officially exists, and those that are officially recognized are all Titan-dominated. They find the unofficial anti-Titan club. At this point we’ve collected so many characters that I can’t keep track. I suspect this is because the creators mainly expected fans of the main series to be the ones to pick this up.
With episodes only seventeen minutes long, it has to keep up a fast pace and keep the individual plots short. This avoids beating a dead horse joke. I do suspect there are jokes I am missing from having not watched the original, and the ones I do get fall into “I saw that coming” or “I should have seen that coming” for the most part.
Since the cast didn’t join an official club, they get dropped into the “Wall Cleaning Club” which does janitorial tasks. However, since a whole section of the school is Titan-sized, they use the distinctive wire rig from the primary source to reach the areas humans would not otherwise be able to get to. The main character sees the possibility of using them to attack the titans – even if he’s accident-prone to the extreme.
As I go through the episodes, it appears to alternate between source inspired and school inspired plots. This is not a hard and fast rule, but when an episode leans into one part of one genre or the other it sometimes lets the other slip into mere background detail. This isn’t such a bad thing. It does make them more coherent.
I have to give them credit (pun intended) for the opening credits. Most of the time when binging a series, I will skip them after a while. I’ve found myself sitting there, letting it play out. I can’t point to any one aspect. The music is good but not “put it into a playlist and listen to it on its own” good. It does fit with the visuals well and I’m not generally driven to find the start of the episode proper when it starts.
Some of the gags are just randomness. I admit to having laughed at this – cut from the dialog “How does he sleep like that” to this image.
That episode however marked the first “pause to let the cringe subside” moment. The plot of that particular one is very much “school” and revolves around trying to set up the odd sleeper with his crush. The plans fail in awkward ways. The episode does redeem itself when the two get away from the crowd instead and interact more directly.
I’m having a hard time stretching the review out to my normal word count, not because of anything wrong with the show, but because of a lack of things that strike me as worth talking about. And I don’t think there’s a point at summarizing the plots of all twelve episodes. I suspect it’s cribbing major Titan-related plot points from the original source material. But this is merely an impression.
Ultimately, the show is… okay. On the better side of okay, but there are so many caveats in the form of “If you like… then…” that I can’t simply recommend it. It won’t hurt you though.
Rather than torture this review to make it reach word count, I’m going to wrap up here.
Hrmm… $200 for all of the inspiration series? Seems steep, but I have heard good things.
Such a bizarre concept, given the original show.
Seems innocent, better-crafted than ‘normal,’ I s’pose. My bar for kids’ entertainment is very low, so that’s a pretty big win for them. *shrug*
Did ya sit through all 3 Hours & 24 Minutes? *scratches head* Where does this time come from? Just a bit every day, big binge, constant background viewing when kinda otherwise occupied?
*brow remains furrowed*
I will tend to designate a block of time, usually on a weekend, or after work and chrun through as much as I could.
OT LOL… This is the commie behind the commie that somehow got elected to run NYC.

Better use it soon or it’ll grow together and close up.

She obviously has never worked on a Swalwell campaign.
Bazinga
Find it hard to believe she’s never been asked for a date.
Maybe she just didn’t realize that she was being asked out when it happened?
She’s found her grift.
She better settle or sheโll never have kids.
Her – “I guess I could settle for a 6,6,6, who makes only seven figures.”
Well shucks.
I missed it by that much.
I especially love the underlying idea there that anyone who did manage to get laid before they become middle-aged must have “settled” LOL
She just doesn’t have time for sex because she is so focused on her career. That is the difficult day-to-day grind of… a professional virgin.
I mean, I’m a good guy. Somebody give her my number.

Apologies. I was just bolding the best bits, but all is too pertinent. WTF, indeed. Biggest Q: What the fuck is in it for the judge? Looking for promotion? Eville ain’t exactly True Blue land.
The pictures of Richardson are frightful. University of Evansville is known for it’s acting program. I knew about Jack McBrayer as Kenneth Parcell in 30 Rock. I just learned Rami Malek, who played Freddie in a recent Queen flick I haven’t seen, is also an alumni.
Think about it. *taps noggin*
Chaos is whats in it for the judge.
Iโll give that guy a snip.
Off topic: is Al Green the ugliest person in Congress? Is he even human?
Whenever I read stories like this, I rethink my opposition to capital punishment.

Killing them is too easy; they need to suffer for years.
An endless line of fucks like this can be sent to my place and Iโll do them for 12 hours a day and wonโt ever tire of it.
Have you watched the Attack on Titan?
Iโve been curious but Iโve not started it. I know it was fairly big.
