Bubbleblabber’s Definitive Top Ten International Animated Series of 2019
6) Attack on Titan
I remember when the first season of Attack on Titan came out over six years ago. Its visceral and brutal approach to storytelling made an immediate impression on an international anime community that was gradually growing more connected. It also didn’t hurt that it had an instantly meme-able OP, but…it was mainly the story. The initial shock of its first-half waned during its second, and when it wrapped months later, many feared it might go the way of many other amazing shows that were only given one season before vanishing into obscurity. Four years passed between that and its eventual sequel season, followed by both halves of this recently ended one, and it looks like we’ll be riding this train all the way to the end as the next season will see the conclusion of the story.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
