As a result of this it means we receive quite an exhaustive selection of content that will help extend the running time of your overall experience. Manga Entertainment UK have once again opted to use disc masters originally produced by FUNimation and as such all of the supplementary content in the North American release, minus FUNimation related trailers of course, are here on this UK Blu-Ray release. An enlightening and entertaining experience but more importantly it continues to deliver that ‘on edge’ excitement we all love from the Attack on Titan franchise. From a progression perspective then it doesn’t seem that Attack on Titan Season 3 – Part 1 provides much movement, as it is simply one big rescue attempt, but in terms of historic background and factual information then it provides an exceptional amount. Levi for instance was raised by Kenny in the underworld, while Historia was raised by a false mother in other to protect her true identity while Eren’s father knew about the Rice family and their true agenda of restoring the first kings memories through the use of titan power.ĭeception and Secrets have always been a key part within the Attack on Titan universe but finally these secrets are starting to come out and the world isn’t as simple as it was once thought. We begin to learn more about Levi, Historia, Erwin and Eren’s Father and it helps further cement their place within this cruel world. In short this whole ordeal within the first half of Season 3 is about revealing the truth of the Historia’s past and the government cover-up that sees a false king ruling the nation but it is so much more than that. Old friends become enemies and enemies become comrades in a world that offers nothing but uncertainty and murder. It’s another fight for survival but just not in the way one might expect. At first you may think this is irrelevant but it actual ties to the events taking place with Historia and Eren and, even more surprisingly, once the curtain has drawn on these events everything makes sense. The battle between the Levi’s Squad and Kenny’s Squad, of which continues throughout this entire part, is just one piece in a larger puzzle.ĭuring the events of the Scouts vs Kenny, of which sees Eren and Historia captured for a surprising revelation, the commander of the Scouts forms a plot that will dethrone the King and restore the true heir to monarch within the walls. This change in story turns the tide of battle from Humans against Titans to Humans against Humans, with both fighting for survival – the difference here is that Kenny’s Squad has a unique ODM Gear as well as guns in addition to the usual arsenal used by the Scouts. Unfortunately for Levi his worst fears are realised as the Military MP’s are working with an independent unit lead by Kenny an outlaw who up until recently has been killing Military MPs for his own agendas. Fearing that their location has been compromised, and that the Military MPs were up to something, Levi’s Squad ventures back into the walls in order uncover the truth behind this ordeal. Here Hanage continues testing Eren’s Titan transformation to see if the plan to fix the wall can succeed but after returning to walls she discovers that Pastor Nick has been brutally tortured by the Military MPs.

Taking place directly after the events of Season 2, of which saw the Scout Regiment rescue Eren and Christa (whose real name is Historia), from Bertholdt and Reiner, we now find the Lev’s Squad hiding out in a cottage in order to shield themselves from potential threats.

Animation Studio WIT, combined with musical score form Hiroyuki Sawano, continues to bring the best out of the franchise and even more so with the events of Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 1. What was once a fight for humanities survival outside of the walls has now become a fight for survival within the walls especially for members of the Scout Regiment. The exhilarating intensity of Attack on Titan, otherwise known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japan, continues in this first half of Season Three and once again the rules of survival have changed. Are Eren and his friends prepared to face the true monsters that lie within the walls? But a figure from Levi’s past, the deadly Kenny, could turn this into a losing battle. With Historia set to be the rightful Queen, the Levi Squad must act. Political secrets, a false king, and the reality that will shake the foundation of the world-all falls on the shoulders of Eren and his friends, as they fight to survive. The truth about the Titans begins to come to light.


The fight against the titans continues with Manga Entertainment UK’s Blu-Ray release of Attack on Titan – Season 3 Part 1 but what can one expect from this release? Let’s burst through the walls and find out.
