Attack on Titan: Ilse's Notebook - Reviews

The first episode was a really good edition to the series, giving some insight into the Titans that occured earlier on in the first season. It was emotional and intense, making you question just a bit more even if you've seen all three seasons.

The second episode was purely comedy and stepped away from the AOT theme of suspense and death. I saw in the first review that the person hated it, but personally I thought it was hilarious and laughed multipe times at how ridiculous it was. It was nice to see a different atmosphere for this show, if only for one epsiode. The giggles is a nice break from all the death XD

The third episode was also really good; it showed us the cadets first mission with all the original characters that have mostly died at this point. As good as it was watching them all work together it also made me sad watching the cadets bond when I know all the people who die and all the tension that occurs later on as more secrets were revealed. 

Overall these three episodes are just 3 short stories that add to the story and give you a break from the heaviness of the main seasons so I really enjoyed all three episodes.  

I really enjoyed the OVA's more than I thought I would! 

Episode 1 

Oh boy, this one left with a lot of questions that I hope will be answered in season 2 when I watch it. Not gonna say much since I don't want to spoil it. 

Episode 2 

I know that one person who wrote a review didn't like this episode. This one was more focused on comedy I guess. But I really liked seeing how the characters where more humanitized ( hoping this is the correct word😂) 

Episode 3 

It was really nice seeing them on a mission/training mission. But what I loved most was being able to see Marco again. I started talking up as soon as I saw him, but my heart especially broke when he said "I wonder what soldiers will become" to Eren  when they were outside drinking coffee I think. RIP Marco. 😭

Also sorry I suck at explaining things 😂

While the first episode was great the second one was....WTF. Like really? I wanted to do a table flip. It was so bad it made me want to cry. I have no idea how they came up with that. Oh god, I just hope they do anything like that again. Ugh. It didn't feel like an Attack on Titan episode at all.

This story made me cry. And I think the game is based off this. It kinda hurt to watch the girl die, i felt so bad for her to like all she wanted to do was explore 

Love the foreshadowing and information this OVA provides.
