First things first, you HAVE to watch the first season of Attack on Titan before watching this. If not, you'll get spoiled a fair bit and not get the full potential out of this fantastic parody. In short, Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou is a fantastic parody. It absolutely nails the scenes from the original series. The impact, intensity and music are close to perfect in each and every scene that the show is "making fun" of. Story: 6/10 The story (VERY loosely) follows the original Attack on Titan story line. The same music and phrases are used for each scene in the parody, as it was used in theoriginal series. It has TONS of references, like when *you know who* is eaten and *you know him* screams/cries teary eyed with his arm extended. Art: 8/10 The art uses a light color palette to bring the chibi characters to life (I couldn't word that better, sorry...) There's a bit of recycled animation from the first season, like when titans are running, or when the big ol' colossal titan is peeking over the wall. But here's a twist! Sometimes, (when something scary/shocking happens) the art turns into some of the manga drawings from the original manga. I was pleasantly surprised when it first happened, but it doesn't happen a lot during the anime, sadly. Sound: 9/10 If you're a big fan of the Attack on Titan soundtrack, then rejoice! They use nearly all of the songs from AoT in this parody. It's incredible how well they manage to weave the soundtrack into every scene, without it feeling out of place or stitched on. My only gripe about the sound, is that they didn't introduce any new songs in the show. Characters: 7/10 Take the strongest traits of each character (Eren -> Kill all titans! Mikasa -> Protect Eren! Levi -> Cleaning.) and exaggerate the living shit out of it. I don't mean this in a bad way. It goes really well with the tone of the show, but if you're a newcomer to the Attack on Titan universe and start with this series... Oh boy. Enjoyment: 10/10 I absolutely fucking loved it! Holy shit I've never been this pumped when watching a "comedy" show. The music, the fucking references man! Everything goes so fucking well together! When i heard about Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou i thought, "Great... Just HOW much are they going to milk the franchise?" Then i watched the first episode and found out that i hadn't laughed that much in ages. It's a really good time. Overall 8/10 Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou is a great supplementary show to watch while waiting for Attack on Titan season 2. Just make sure that you already have watched the first season.

Do you ever feel like milking the shit out of something that's popular? No? Then you wouldn't relate to this crap. Attack on Chibi is a spin-off parody anime to one of the most popular shows ever made. It's done by a different studio, focusing more on comedy and having this chibi artform instead of the dark and greedy look that the original show has. The show fails at everything. You would expect that a parody of Attack on Titan would succeeed at poking fun at it, while having some clever stuff thrown in. Instead, we have this show pandering towards fans for the sakesof getting another dollar. A lot of the characters felt like they were pulled out from fanfictions and Tumblr. One of the most popular characters in AoT is Levi, who is now known in the fandom as that guy that has a thing for cleaning, though this was barely present in the original show. In Attack on Chibi, they decide that it would be a good idea if they drag that cleaning joke for Tumblr users to fangasm. Does it work? I don't see too many people really talking about this. The only reason this cashgrab exists is to remind you that AoT is still a thing and that the second season will be out in 2016, but there was no point in making this. Every character is an exaggerated version of their fanfictions, the comedy is slaptstick nonsense and everything else is not note worthy. But I will give them credit for one thing. At times, they play serious music in the background while parodying a scene from the show, and I'm not sure how, but it works pretty well. Unfortunetely, this is barely present in the show, and is only used in episode 1 and episode 12, which are the best episodes. The rest? It's hard to watch. It really is. Not only that, but the episodes are only 17 minutes for some reason, and it doesn't help that each episode feels longer than the average 22 minutes, too. This show is like anime, a mistake. 3/10
