With the political situation settled at the capitol and a new queen installed, the Scout Regiment has time to investigate Eren's basement. Way back in episode one, Eren's father gave him a key and hinted that all would be explained by a visit to the basement. That was more than 5 years ago. The regiment has hardly arrived at Shinganshina when an army of titans appear. Not only are both the colossal titan and the armored titan present, but so is a beast titan. The titans have planned this ambush well and the Scouts are in serious trouble. In the basement, Eren discovers some diaries from his father than detail the origin of the titans as well as the world beyond the walls.
Though only 10 episodes, the season reveals the bigger picture of the world, including the backstory of Eren's father. The world has been upended by the end of the season and now the conflict is entirely unlike what it seemed. There are some annoying bits, especially when the Scouts have opportunities to kill major villains but squander them by hesitating. Despite repeatedly getting in trouble for his impulsiveness, Eren remains a hothead. Will there ever be some character growth on this score? Overall, a great season with some epic fights and great storytelling. Eager to get into the 4th season.
