All three criteria are applicable to this animation, so I will critique them.
If one is going to take anything out of this critique, let it be this:
Time does not equal quality. One should make every minute, every second of an animation count.
I had to sit through 30 minutes of this in order to critique it. One could do so much more and watch so much better in 30 minutes than watching this. Just through the timeslot required to watch this entire animation, it’s not worth it in the slightest.
The visuals are decent, but important aspects of visuals related to a series are severely lacking. There were some unique and even beautiful background sceneries in SN shown through this series, but the majority of figures, faces, and overall scenery are lacking in the visual department.
Animation movements are mediocre. Fight scenes are very choppy and badly done. It isn’t much remarkable about the use of fights in this series. AOT has such a unique concept, and this series fails to make use of those unique qualities and add on to it.
Character personalities are very bland and basic. One would be able to take dialogue from any character, give it to another, and it would have the exact same effect. None of these characters stand out in the slightest. The dialogue is subpar in quality, and dialogue errors are riddled throughout the 30-minute runtime.
The story is a hodgepodge. It takes many original storybeats from AOT and applies them here, but does so without the charm or interesting factors that made the story good. There are some jokes throughout the episode, but the bad pacing severely damages their level of comedy, if there is even a level of quality at all.
This series episode is just filled with uninspired and uninteresting clutters, and with the incredible 30-minute timeslot required to see the whole thing, I cannot recommend it to anyone wishing to see a good series or animation.
Ridiculously long animation, which is impressive but it’s an issue of quantity over quality. Theres plenty this does right and very well like the visuals in some areas, some cinematic work with the camera alongside some of the plot points with animation. Problems come in at story, characters, some pacing as well as inconsistency in visuals. At one point of the animation out of nowhere the graphical setting drops down to potato and 4 different styles show up then it returns to normal. Humor sometimes ruins certain points and it doesn’t help that this is pretty well the same attack on titan as the original which I have yet to watch. While some animation is done pretty good, most of the animation in this is pretty average and in a fast paced battle the fps drop down and suddenly I feel like I am watching a microsoft presentation. FPS must maintain consistent throughout an animation or else you run into issues of the viewer having to get used to a new framerate mid animation. In the end the story is done pretty decently aside from characters not being developed enough or being put together well. The episode is just average with potential that isn’t being dug into.
2/5
