This is my favorite arc in the manga, hope you anime-watchers enjoy it. I'm the weirdo who liked the second Attack on Titan opening more than the first, and I like the third opening more than the second, so they've got a good thing going here.

Yeah, it's true that it starts off very similar, almost a combination of the visuals and audio of the first two openings, but around 50 seconds in I feel it becomes its own thing. Sasageyo~ is super catchy, the baby's hand grasping the adult's thumb is a great shot, but it's the action scene that really stands out to me. The instruments and the acrobatics makes it seem more like a circus act, more playful and fun than anything we've seen and really brings a new kind of energy the previous openings' action scenes haven't focused on. Replay 1:04 a few times and it's actually kinda comical the way Mikasa is matched to the music (not to mention the blink and you'll miss it shot of Sasha freaking out). And once we get back to ye olde AoT chanting we have some great imagery to close it off. I legitimately love those stupid advancing giants shots.

I don't think the first 50 seconds are bad or anything, just "standard Attack on Titan OP" which is anything but bad (and a pretty deliberate way to reconnect to the audience after 4 years), and after it's done that build up what's left is strong enough to stand on its own. There are parts of the first two OPs that I feel are weak ("weak") enough that the highs of this OP makes it stand out more to me.

And the link works for me, so :shrug:

This season in particular will cover what I think is many readers' favorite arc. There's way more action and less talky parts, and the talky parts are generally more interesting.

Season 2, Episode 1

I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that the season is going to end at chapter 50. Possibly 51. (there are currently 93 chapters)

About how long is the manga projected to last?
It had a poignant, somber finale*, and then it kept going.

There ain't no gettin' offa this train we on.

*There's still a bunch of mysteries and questions and stuff so it couldn't actually have ended.

Read the manga but skip all the pages with big epic scenes that would be great animated.

Next arc is a lot more talking and a lot less Titan. Make of that what you will.

Use Crunchyroll's translation if you wanna read the manga. Recommended to use the mobile/pad reader 'cause their browser one sucks.

e: oh, didn't know that. Well ganbatte.
