Like, where were all the titans? This looked a lot more like actual war rather than a war against titans. So, when I saw bombs dropping and soldiers marching in step as if this was North Korea or something, I wasn’t sure what to think. Back when Season 4 started, I wasn’t sure if this would be the only intro we’d get for the season, or whether there would be a Part 2 to Season 4 since none of that was established at this point. Season 4’s intro took me a while to appreciate. We see the ODM in motion (rather than just shots of the actual hardware) and also get a true taste of the devastation of the scouts themselves rather than just the titans, which we would see plenty more of later. This is a show that is going to blow your mind and look cool doing it.
This is definitely one of the very best intros in the series since it sets the tone off perfectly.
We also have that awesome shot of Eren running and then leaping toward the Colossal Titan in pure attack mode, which would foreshadow what would happen later (much later) in the story.
In this intro, we see Eren and the Survey Corps flying through the air, slashing titans in the back of the neck, all to one of the most stirring songs in the entire series. It’s probably the reason why I got so deeply into Attack on Titan in the first place.
