Shingeki no Kyojin Picture Drama

SNK Picture Drama is for you who can't get enough of Attack on Titan and its characters. This show gives you a great opportunity to get to know the characters a little better. The story follows the members of the 104th Trainee Squad during their trainingi, but Levi, Erwin and Hange make short appearences as well. The art is just brilliant! Everyone looks super cute, even the head instructor Keith and the colossal titan. Don't expect any deep story from this show though, because there is none. It's just a silly spin-off that will entertain you when you have nothing better to watch.

Every one of these episodes just features some chibi comedy. No important story elements come from these picture dramas. With that being said, the art is still pretty good. It's not as detailed as the art in the original series, but it's still good. The animation quality isn't as good either, but it doesn't need to be. The sound effects don't really present anything all that great. The sound was just ok. I like the characters, but I think they acted a little silly here even for it being all comedy episodes. A bit of the stuff seems slightly out of character for a few of them, especially things that Armin does in these specials. I kind of enjoyed these episodes, but at the same time, the comedy got old kind of quickly. The whole "people get eaten by a titan at the end" gag gt old really fast. Overall, I'd say these are average and provide some enjoyment, but not a lot.

Now, jumping into this completing with 0 expectations, not having watched any of attack on Titan in a very long time, also,n it's worth mentioning that even though I still haven't seen Attack on Titan: Junior High, I believe this one is a bit similar in nature, if not better, this show set a high ceiling for this type of content, so the next time I'm watching Attack on Titan: Junior High, it woukld be tough to compare to this one, now let's discuss some of the aspects of this show, shall we? - Story (6/10): The is no actual “story” behind this, I never expect one, to begin with, it's just a silly rip-off the origin Attack on Titan series, more specifically, the first season, even more specific, the last 25 days before graduating from the academy, were we get to see a more slice of life side of the story, in a cute way. - Art (8/10): It's not visually and fantastically appealing but god does it deliver what it promises, It's all about cuteness in this show, if that's your cup of tea, then you're in for quite the journey my friend. All the characters are pictured in the chibi style, with very short cute legs, and puffy faces, you might not think this would suit characters like the ones in the original Attack on Titan series but was I wrong thinking so at first. - Sound (8/10): The show is filled with your typical epic Attack on Titan soundtracks, and let's not keep our eyes away from the voice acting, because that would be some of the cutest sounds you'll hear, god how I loved Armin's enthusiastic feel, and Mikasa's blunt yet cute screams, there is no opening per say, but I could consired the first 3 seconds ro so to be one, with a very hyped up chunck of music, I'm smirking right now just picturing myself hearing it out again, infact, that's the first thing I'm looking up on Youtube after I post this review. - Character (8/10): All of dem familiar faces are present, only better, how? well, bring all of the Attack on Titan characters, go through them one by one, and remove all of their bad treats that make them unlikable, and there you go, I haven't found myself not liking any single one out of them, all cute and very likable. The designs are just as wholesome, I would fantasize all day about stickers implementing them as the main focus. - Enjoyment (8/10): This was a heck of a cute paradise, the humor is so subtle, very easy to follow, with some few references to the original events of the show, which only makes it even more hilarious, watching the whole thing, while still being very short, was a great wholesome experience. - Overall (7.6/10): I would still not recommend this right off the bat, and also, not for everyone, if you are a die-hard fan, loving the characters, and wanting to see them do some more stuff, far away from brutal killing and massacres, then it's a show for you to both help forget about your favorite characters dying, that or just for the heck of a couple of laughs.

Hey guys! This is my first review so please do not expect much from it. I started watching this show as a kind of break from all the sadness and death in the original show and this show did prove helpful as it was full of gags and jokes and just seeing those cute chibi characters made me giggle inside. Story: To start, I didn't expect much from the story as I was just looking for some source of happiness relating to the show. If you are looking for AOT related shows that have a deep story, this is not the one for you. (You should try some other AOT related ovas such as Lost girls which has a better and more consistent storyline and gives you key knowledge on Annie Leonhart's background.) This show has a different, basic storyline every episode, almost like a filler episode. Personally, I would rate Shingeki no Kyojin Picture Drama's storyline a 5/10. Art: As you can probably tell already, I am such a big fan of the artwork. The chibi faces are just so cute and the different expressions that correlate to different emotions are just astonishing. However, I must say the quality of the animation was not very good, at least on the website I was using. I would rate Shingeki no Kyojin Picture Drama's art a 8/10. Sound: I don't really have to say much about the sound, It was spectacular and the acting from the voice actors was astounding, as expected from this animation studio. I would rate Shingeki no Kyojin Picture Drama's sound a 10/10. Character: The character's emotions were brought out a lot for this chibi version and showed some characters deep down feelings such as how Hanna felt toward Franz and so on. Personally, I would rate the characters from Shingeki no Kyojin Picture Drama a 9/10. Enjoyment: I enjoyed this spinoff of Shingeki no Kyojin a lot and it cheered me up many times. However, the jokes do get old but the slow introduction of AOT's chibi version of characters made up for that! My enjoyment level would be a 9/10. Overall: To conclude my review, I would first like to say thank you for reading and if you enjoyed please press HELPFUL so I know if I am good enough to write some more reviews :D Overall I found this spinoff very enjoyable, it had its ups and downs but my final score for Shingeki no Kyojin Picture Drama is 8/10! (Remember, this is just my opinion, I hope you have a great day :D)

Review en ESP/ENG Some nice specials included in the DVDs -Animation: It has a chibi animation style (small bodies and big heads) that is not wow but it is not bad either -Music: It has several soundtracks from the main series that are excellent and some from the series that are good -Characters: All are characters from the main series, both main and secondary -History and development: None, they are random episodes with characters from the series (both main and secondary) in the form of a parody with some winks or references to things that happen in the series -Conclusion: For extra content on the DVDs, it's not bad. It's about having a good time and maybe it will make you laugh. But personal opinion: They are resources (time, money, etc.) that could be saved to do something else, but I liked it, I had fun and I had a good time Unos lindos especiales incluidos en los DVDs -Animacion: Posee una estilo de animacion chibi (cuerpos pequeños y cabezas grandes) que no es guau pero tampoco es malo -Musica: Tiene varios soundtracks de la serie principal que son excelentes y algunos propios de la serie que estan bien -Personajes:Todos son personajes de la serie principal, tanto principales como secundarios -Historia y desarrollo: No tiene, son episodios randoms con personajes de la serie (tanto principales como secundarios) en forma de parodia con algunos guiños o referencias a cosas que ocurren en la serie -Conclusion: Para ser contenido extra de los DVDs, no esta mal. Es para pasar un buen rato y tal vez te saca alguna risa Pero opinion personal: Son recursos (tiempo, dinero, etc) que podrian guardaselos para hacer otra cosa, pero me gusto, me diverti y la pase bien

Completely indifferent. Shingeki no Kyojin Picture Drama is one of those specials clearly made for the most dedicated fans of the franchise. Instead of the heavy atmosphere, constant tension, and numerous tragedies that made Attack on Titan one of the most popular anime of its generation, here we have an extremely light version of the characters, represented in chibi style and placed in small, comical everyday situations. The premise isn't bad. In fact, it even makes sense. After all, we're talking about a work known for its dark tone and for placing its characters in constant suffering. Seeing these same figures in more relaxed moments can be fun for those who are very attached to the cast. The problem is that, for me, the execution was never particularly interesting. Most of the episodes take place during the beginning of the story, when practically all the characters are still alive and living normally. Curiously, this ended up being the aspect that most caught my attention. Watching the special after knowing the entire trajectory of the series brings an inevitable feeling of nostalgia. You watch those characters joking, arguing over silly things, or simply living together peacefully, and you automatically remember everything that will happen to them in the future. This nostalgia ends up being more impactful than the special's content itself. The jokes occasionally work. Some interactions between the characters are funny, mainly because they take advantage of already known characteristics of the cast to create absurd situations. However, the humor rarely goes beyond a few occasional smiles. There wasn't a single moment that really made me laugh out loud or that stuck in my memory after I finished watching. The visuals follow the traditional chibi style. The characters are caricatured, expressive, and visually cute, something that contrasts sharply with the more serious aesthetic of the main anime. Although I recognize that the style suits the concept, I've personally never been a big fan of this type of animation. At first it's even charming, but as the episodes go on it becomes repetitive and a little tiring. Another problem is precisely the lack of relevance. These specials don't delve into the characters, don't expand the universe of the work, and don't offer new information about the story. These are just small extras aimed at quick entertainment. This makes them very easy to watch and then forget about. Ultimately, Shingeki no Kyojin Picture Drama isn't bad. It fulfills exactly what it sets out to do: deliver a few minutes of light humor using characters that fans already know and like. However, it doesn't go much beyond that. What stayed with me most wasn't the jokes or the episodes themselves, but the nostalgic feeling of revisiting a simpler period in history, when the world seemed much less cruel and the characters still had a future ahead of them. Perhaps that's the true value of these specials. Even so, as a standalone work, it's something that completely goes unnoticed. I don't regret watching it, but I'm also unlikely to go back and rewatch it. Rating: 5/10 =================================================================================================================Versão em Português===================================== Completamente indiferente. Shingeki no Kyojin Picture Drama é um daqueles especiais feitos claramente para os fãs mais dedicados da franquia. Em vez do clima pesado, da tensão constante e das inúmeras tragédias que transformaram Attack on Titan em um dos animes mais populares de sua geração, aqui temos uma versão extremamente leve dos personagens, representados em estilo chibi e colocados em pequenas situações cômicas do cotidiano. A proposta não é ruim. Na verdade, ela até faz sentido. Afinal, estamos falando de uma obra conhecida por seu tom sombrio e por colocar seus personagens em sofrimento constante. Ver essas mesmas figuras em momentos mais descontraídos pode ser algo divertido para quem tem muito apego ao elenco. O problema é que, para mim, a execução nunca foi particularmente interessante. Grande parte dos episódios se passa durante o início da história, quando praticamente todos os personagens ainda estão vivos e convivendo normalmente. Curiosamente, esse acabou sendo o aspecto que mais chamou minha atenção. Assistir ao especial após conhecer toda a trajetória da série traz uma sensação inevitável de nostalgia. Você olha para aqueles personagens brincando, discutindo por motivos bobos ou simplesmente convivendo de forma pacífica e automaticamente lembra de tudo o que acontecerá com eles futuramente. Essa nostalgia acaba sendo mais impactante do que o próprio conteúdo do especial. As piadas funcionam ocasionalmente. Algumas interações entre os personagens são divertidas, principalmente porque aproveitam características já conhecidas do elenco para criar situações absurdas. Porém, o humor raramente vai além de alguns sorrisos ocasionais. Não houve nenhum momento que realmente me fez rir alto ou que ficou marcado na memória depois que terminei de assistir. O visual segue o padrão chibi tradicional. Os personagens são caricatos, expressivos e visualmente fofos, algo que contrasta bastante com a estética mais séria do anime principal. Apesar de reconhecer que o estilo combina com a proposta, pessoalmente nunca fui muito fã desse tipo de animação. No começo ela é até simpática, mas com o passar dos episódios acaba se tornando repetitiva e um pouco cansativa. Outro problema é justamente a falta de relevância. Esses especiais não aprofundam personagens, não expandem o universo da obra e não oferecem informações novas sobre a história. São apenas pequenos extras voltados para entretenimento rápido. Isso faz com que seja muito fácil assisti-los e esquecê-los logo em seguida. No final das contas, Shingeki no Kyojin Picture Drama não é ruim. Ele cumpre exatamente aquilo que se propõe a fazer: entregar alguns minutos de humor leve utilizando personagens que os fãs já conhecem e gostam. Entretanto, também não vai muito além disso. O que mais ficou comigo não foram as piadas ou os episódios em si, mas a sensação nostálgica de revisitar um período mais simples da história, quando o mundo parecia muito menos cruel e os personagens ainda tinham um futuro pela frente. Talvez esse seja o verdadeiro valor desses especiais. Ainda assim, como obra isolada, é algo que passa completamente batido. Não me arrependo de ter assistido, mas também dificilmente voltaria para rever. Nota: 5/10

This Attack on Titan special is a collection of comedy skits. The first two episodes both have two skits and the rest of the episodes all have three skits. The skits all take place at the training camp and the important characters are the attack on titan cast from around episode 3. The skits sometimes reference events that happened in the main anime but they don't add to them in any way. The humour in the skits didn't appeal to me and they are somewhat repetitive. For example all skits end with the characters being eaten by the colossal titan which gets boring after 20 times. The characters all act like little kids and in ways that don't match their character e.g. you have Reiner crying because he lost his lunch money. While the voice acting was fine, characters also narrated the voice effects being played so you have characters saying things like: "slide, "ding" and "shock" all the time. The music is the same as in the main anime but it honestly doesn't suit the comedy. The animation is pretty alright as far as chibi animation goes. Overall I don't consider this worth watching at all, not matter how much you liked the original anime. The comedy isn't funny, the series is repetitive and it detracts more from the anime than it adds.
