Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou

<Potential Spoilers> If I'm being completely honest, it's just really nice to see the Attack on Titan cast happy again. After the depressing and dark themes of the official story, it's really nice to see the characters goofing about. This scenario of what if the Attack on Titan cast were in a junior high was a true breath of fresh air for me. This spin-off may not convey deep and dark themes like the official story. However, I find the brighter themes to be a break from all of the darkness that is Attack on Titan. The art style represents the childish nature of the anime. The simplistic animation and art style suggest that this would be for a children's show. In other words, the art style effectively portrays the genre of the show. No sound design stood out to me. However, the original Attack on Titan soundtrack being used reminds us that this is still a show based on Attack on Titan and not its own thing. The art style and soundtrack work together to both link the show to Attack on Titan and make the show its own thing. Viewing the characters of the original series in a modern junior high scenario is definitely something unique that I am very glad they created as an anime. Seeing the cast happy again made this experience much more enjoyable then you would think. Overall I rank this 7/10.

I'm going to keep this review short because I don't see a point in making a super in-depth review of a non-canonical slice-of-life show. Attack on Titan: Junior High is a show that nobody asked for, but one that everyone needed. This show is just AoT wish fulfillment and I can shamelessly say I don't care. Story: 8/10 I often get bored of stories without an overarching plot, but this show managed to stay fresh and entertaining through all of its episodes. It plays off of typical high school anime scenarios with a unique spice only this cast can bring. Something about these tropes feels innovative, considering the fact that the AoT world is nothing like this setting. It's a bittersweet irony, especially considering how many references they make to the original story. Art: 7/10 Definitely nothing too stellar, since all their characters are presented in a chibi art style. I kind of appreciate the change in art style though because the show would feel awkward if it was in the same art style as the original. I think it was a good stylistic choice. Sound: 7/10 Again, nothing really to write home about. The sound used in the comedic gags are pretty cliche, but they get the job done and they convey the message clearly. Characters: 9/10 I think the most impressive feat of this show was how it managed to still have the essence of the cast in an entirely different setting. It's a break from the serious tone and a celebration of the fantastic chemistry between characters and the life their personalities bring to any story. Enjoyment: 9/10 Any comedy that has me laughing out loud on multiple occasions definitely earns a 9 in enjoyment. I think the gag about Oluo Bozado biting his tongue is a little overdone, but for the most part, this show has impeccable comedic timing and plays off of the organic character interactions well. Overall: 8/10 This is a very character-driven anime, so if you aren't a big fan of the AoT cast then this anime is not for you. I see this experience as a breath of air for fans who are sinking deeper and deeper into the dark, twisted world of AoT. Also, if you miss characters who have been killed off as the show's aired, then you'll be able to enjoy their presence again with this show. That perk is actually the reason I initially wanted to watch this show in the first place. Not only was this able to fill the hole I had in my "stomach", but it was also a very pleasant watch and a fun ride.

Spoiler Free Review So, it's kind of obvious that Attack on Titan Junior High is just a cute little show that uses the characters from Attack on Titan. I will say that I had more fun in this show than I did with Koro-Sensei Quest. The characters were fun and it was nice to see them in a peaceful environment for a change. This show doesn't even try to be something that it isn't. This could be a good thing, but it stops this show from being a great show. It cannot be compared to the originals (obviously), but for an OVA, it's really fun. I had fun with it, and I'm sure most of you will too.

Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou is the first Chibi and parody anime I watched and loved! The first thing I noticed was the character design. The characters are all represented in Chibi and I find it so cute. I also find that it shows a comic side of the original anime. The animation is also very well done. The characters are the same as the anime and they have the same personalities, which makes the aspect really funny and cute at the same time, especially for the most striking scenes. Note that there are a few heads without eyes. But nothing serious. In terms of the soundtrack, the opening and ending really represent the parody and comic side, while the OST perfectly match the atmosphere of the anime. In short, this anime is really cute and funny. It's really a good anime that I think, makes us wait for the second season. I can't wait to know what happens next!

Attack on Titan: Junior high is a pretty okay parody of Attack on Titan. There's 12 episodes of 14 minutes if you exclude the opening/ending. Since it's a parody and it's based on the original anime you need to watch the first season of attack on titan before watching this. This parody also references the first episode of the attack on titan OVA quite a lot so it's probably worth watching that too. There's at least one reference to an event in the second season but this reference isn't important and you don't have to watch the second season before watching this. The story is a parody of attack on titan where all important characters are students or teachers and the titans are bullies who steal the student's food. It is in this setting that the parody recreates many of the scenes from the original anime, though not always in the correct order. A nice detail is that there's also a parody of the original opening which is pretty neat. The parody is pure comedy so if you don't like comedy this isn't worth watching. The characters are the same as in the original anime but more one-dimensional and with some characteristics changed/taken to the extreme. The animation is quite alright for a parody and there's nothing wrong with the voice acting. The music seems to be mostly taken from the original anime and simply re-used. This could be bad considering the atmosphere in the parody and the original anime is quite different but it seems to work out alright. Overall this is a pretty okay parody and worth watching if you were a fan of the original and like the comedy genre.

This anime is probably one of the cutest little spin off shows to ever come from such a gorey and dark anime. If you tend to like more cute things in life, then this spin off is just for you! With all your favorite characters from Attack on Titan living in a completely different world, it is perfect to get your mind off of the original series if you need it! While it is a cute show, it also has a ton of callbacks (and also some spoilers if you squint hard enough) to the main show! Making it entertaining for people who both just started to watch Attack on Titan, along for people who have finished the series! I think it’s cute and I would recommend it to people who like fanfiction because it feels more like an AU spin off fanfiction than anything else.

A spin-off (or maybe an official parody?) of the original series in which you are expected to watch season 1 and 2 first so you can understand the reference they made. I don’t think it would be super enjoyable if you watch it on its own, cause it’s just slice of life. Still, when I was binge watching attack on titan from season 1 to final, I switched to this as a form of intermission when the series got too much and it was nice. It’s great to see them alive and well, while getting a gilmpse of what they could probably be like if everything is normal, you know, like, adding to their personality (levi is an emo teenager no one could change my mind). 9/10 should not be watch as a stand-alone, but still a nice addition to the title.

Story isn't unique it's just a spin-off/spoof to the OG anime. Same vibes as what AOT cosplayers would do and is WAY less violent. I think it's pure comedy gold if you liked the first season of AOT and can take the pee out of the characters (eg Eren's hatred for Titan's, Sasha's food obession etc). The characters are very one but the show takes off of what they are known for in the OG serious and takes a huge pee out of it, like Levi's cleaning obession. If you want character development and the attirbutes all the charactesr gathered in the later seasons of the show you are not going to get that at all. Again I say it's just funny and takes the pee out of them and is legit what their characters would be like if they were in an anime high-school irl.

Beautiful. I've never watched real Attack on Titan because I am 12, and it looks like it would give me nightmares. So when I found out they made a spin-off about the characters but they too have just started middle school and were my age, I was like: YES. So I watched it and had a lot of fun! I think that if you like slap-stick too much and you also like one-liners, then you'll probably enjoy this show. If you are like me and can't watch the real deal but are in middle school, I highly recommend watching this show! I watched this with my little sister who is 6 and we had a lot of fun with it! Definitely recommend it for anyone starting middle school.

Ok first at all, if watched this anime together with my best friend. And well...he was the one who gave me the AOT serie to watch. Couple of weeks ago if visited him to game/watch anime. And we struggles to find a nice one. Ofcourse there is alot of good anime. But our eyes saw this anime. And man its so funny Story: I'm not gonna spoiler. But there is less blood in it. More story based on food. And those titans are jerks. Well there is not a linear story in it. More like a parasoy of there lives. Wich makes it really easy to watch and understand. Art: Art is maby a little bit childish. But its also kinda funny. My favorite artstyle is the Conny face. Wich makes me laugh all the time. Art is good for a "Little bit" childish serie. Sound: Opening and ending are fine. But the effect are good. Dont know why i say this. Its just good. Character: Ok we "Almost" all know Eren Jaeger. This guy is still to fanatic in killing those titans. Well in this serie its nothing less. Because Eren got some issues with the Titans being jerks. He cant help him to kill (kinda?!) the titans. And well its a failure. Conny in the other hand is my favorite, why? Well my best friend told me he is like me at school. He doesnt care about school. And he is a little bit, we call it in Dutch nonchalant. Wich means well, if I dobt have a problem. I dont car attitude. He is a good person. Mikasa is my favorite female MC. She is just focussed to much at Eren wich is funny. First episods, if **** in my pants of laughing. Enjoyment: If you dont know what to watch? Maby this is something for you. Its just a lazy, but funny anime. A real parody of AOT. And they did good to make a parody. Besides of the Abrigded series. Wich is btw fun to watch to. You gonna like it. If you like AOT and comedy....this is the Anime for you. De groeten ;) Seeya next time :)

Attack on Titan Junior High was something I watched after S3 Part 2. I found enjoyable and funny. So its changed where instead of Titans eating people, Titans are bullies who take food from the main cast. And instead of killing titans they knock them out. It was kinda fun to see but it had flaws. The chibi form was kind of disappointing but I guess it was supposed to be cute. I expected more from Production I.G. Instead of being a parody it felt like it steered away from the actual show and was just its own thing, I would’ve liked it to stay close to the show with a twist.

[ENG] It’s actually really nice to see the cast being happy. For you to really enjoy it, I think it’s essential to have seen part of the original story; for me, part of the appeal is that these are endearing kids who don’t deserve all the misfortunes of the main series, yet here they get the chance to be normal teenagers. I don’t usually like comedy (especially in anime) or crack spin offs (which tend to be boring), but this parody has some genuinely funny jokes (not all of them, Japanese comedy is something I’ll never quite warm up to). At the very least, the characters behave consistently and somehow realistically, even when the circumstances are absurd. [SPA] En realidad es muy bonito ver al elenco siendo feliz. Para que realmente te guste creo que es indispensable haber visto parte de la historia original, al menos parte de lo que me gustó es que son muchachos entrañables que no merecen todas las desgracias que les pasan en la serie y que aquí tienen la oportunidad de ser adolescentes normales. Normalmente no me gusta tanto la comedia (especialmente la de anime) ni los spin off crack (suelen ser aburridos), pero esta parodia tiene varios chistes graciosos (no todos, la comedia japonesa nunca me va a terminar de gustar). Por lo menos tienen comportamientos consecuentes y hasta cierto punto realistas aunque las circunstancias sean absurdas.

Attack on Titan Junior High. Well, it’s a nice spinoff of the original series, it’s a nice break from the bloody madness of the original series, portraying the characters in a more casual lifestyle. The art is cute, the humour is constant, and it’s a nice break seeing all you favorite characters alive again. Problem is, something just doesn’t click well for me, probably because I compare it to the original series, it seems a lot less fun. The jokes are sometimes just straight up perverted, and there is way too much shipping material (I don’t like shipping material). A fun spin-off, but I suggest it to people who just finished the emotional joyride of the original series

Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou is exactly the kind of spin-off that divides audiences, and in my case, it fell on the wrong side of that division. Let's make it clear from the start: I'm not a fan of the chibi style. This type of aesthetic, with super deformed characters and a focus on light humor, rarely appeals to me. So, naturally, this already creates a barrier right away. But even trying to look beyond this personal preference, the experience failed to convince me. The idea here is to take the heavy and dramatic universe of Shingeki no Kyojin and transform it into a caricatured school comedy. In theory, this could work as a light and fun parody, a way to play with already known characters and situations. The problem is that, in practice, the result sounds too disconnected. A large part of the impact of the original work comes from its serious tone, the constant tension, and the emotional weight of the events. When you remove all that and replace it with episodic jokes and absurd situations in a high school, what's left are recognizable but emptied characters. They're more like caricatures of themselves than interesting or reinterpreted versions. The humor doesn't help as much as it should either. Some jokes work, especially for those already attached to the characters, but overall it tends to be repetitive and predictable. It often seems to rely exclusively on "look at this character doing something silly" instead of building truly creative or intelligent situations. That said, it's not a bad production from a technical standpoint. The animation fulfills its role within the concept, the pacing is light, and the series doesn't try to be more than it is. For more dedicated Attack on Titan fans, it might even work as an unpretentious extra, something to watch without commitment. But for those who, like me, don't appreciate the chibi style and expected something that better resonated with the spirit of the original work, the experience ends up being less engaging. It feels like a product that exists more as light fanservice than as a relevant addition to the universe. In the end, it's not offensive or poorly made; it just doesn't hit the mark for everyone. Note: 4/10 might appeal to specific fans, but it's easy to skip without missing anything. =================================================================================================================Versão em Português===================================== Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou é exatamente o tipo de spin-off que divide o público e, no meu caso, caiu no lado errado dessa divisão. Já deixando claro desde o início: eu não sou fã do estilo chibi. Esse tipo de estética, com personagens super deformados e foco em humor leve, raramente me agrada. Então, naturalmente, isso já cria uma barreira logo de cara. Mas mesmo tentando olhar além dessa preferência pessoal, a experiência não conseguiu me convencer. A proposta aqui é pegar o universo pesado e dramático de Shingeki no Kyojin e transformá-lo em uma comédia escolar caricata. Em teoria, isso poderia funcionar como uma paródia leve e divertida, uma forma de brincar com personagens e situações já conhecidas. O problema é que, na prática, o resultado soa desconexo demais. Grande parte do impacto da obra original vem do seu tom sério, da tensão constante e do peso emocional dos acontecimentos. Quando você remove tudo isso e substitui por piadas episódicas e situações absurdas em um colégio, o que sobra são personagens reconhecíveis, mas esvaziados. Eles estão ali mais como caricaturas de si mesmos do que como versões interessantes ou reinterpretadas. O humor também não ajuda tanto quanto deveria. Algumas piadas funcionam, especialmente para quem já tem apego aos personagens, mas no geral ele tende a ser repetitivo e previsível. Muitas vezes parece depender exclusivamente do “olha esse personagem fazendo algo bobo” em vez de construir situações realmente criativas ou inteligentes. Dito isso, não é uma produção ruim do ponto de vista técnico. A animação cumpre seu papel dentro da proposta, o ritmo é leve e a série não tenta ser mais do que realmente é. Para fãs mais engajados de Attack on Titan, pode até funcionar como um conteúdo extra despretensioso, algo para assistir sem compromisso. Mas para quem, como eu, não aprecia o estilo chibi e esperava algo que dialogasse melhor com o espírito da obra original, a experiência acaba sendo pouco envolvente. Fica a sensação de que é um produto que existe mais como fanservice leve do que como uma adição relevante ao universo. No fim, não é ofensivo, nem mal feito apenas não acerta para todo mundo. Nota: 4/10 pode agradar fãs específicos, mas é fácil de pular sem perder nada.

Production I.G. is truly made up of some talented people. Somehow, they managed to make a show about people witnessing their loved ones being eaten alive by giants, adorable and funny. So this anime's main setting is a middle school divided in two: one section's for Titans, the other humans. The weirdness doesn't end there. In this alternate reality, Titans are interested in the kids' LUNCHES. And that's what Eren's so mad at the Titans for. The rest of the cartoon's a cute recreation of season one of the show they're parodying (Attack on Titan). This is a cute, slice-of-live style review of the major events in the first season. If you want a break from the gore, this is perfect.
