Warning: Spoilers follow.
After seeing the live action Attack on Titan: Part 1, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue to the second part. IGN’s review called Part 1 a “poor adaptation” that “butchers its story,” and Part 2 isn’t much better. Its characters are flatter alive than they are when crushed by Titans — the antagonists’ motives are all but nonexistent, and the few characters I liked were still awkward. Part 2 does deliver on the Titan front as well as some story and worldbuilding, but I found myself wanting to read the manga instead for a non-butchered version of that story.
Part 2 carries on with Part 1’s altered storyline, which isn’t a great start. It does, however, attempt to answer open questions from the anime. There’s some stuff about a government conspiracy plus a Titan apocalypse history lesson, and all of it could have been cool if it had been done well. Instead, the bad guys are cartoonishly bad, constantly exuding weird bravado and swagger. The government conspiracy angle is really heavy-handed, and their motives are unclear (but not in a cool, mysterious way). I only managed to follow along with their shenanigans because I’ve seen the anime and know a bit about the world, but that knowledge also heightened the disappointment I felt at weak plot “twists.”
