Overview
This special is a light parody companion to the intense military fantasy that defines its parent series. Its chibi presentation and very short runtime turn familiar characters into exaggerated caricatures, offering quick comedic sketches rather than narrative development. As a home video bonus, it is best understood as a side dish: a way to revisit the cast through humor after the heavier arcs.
What it offers is low-stakes, fast-paced comedy. The three episodes are brief enough to sample in one sitting, and the visual gags lean on audience familiarity with the characters and their military roles. The chibi style softens the grim designs and makes the parody approachable even for viewers who usually find the main story too severe.
This Part 2 collection will appeal most to existing fans who want a playful break from the main narrative. Newcomers can enjoy the absurdity, but the humor gains depth from knowing the figures being spoofed. Its short length and sketch-like format make it an easy curiosity for anyone curious about how the franchise experiments with tone.

Should You Watch It?
Watch it if you enjoy
- Watch if you already know Attack on Titan and want a light, chibi-style parody break from the main military fantasy.
- Watch if you enjoy very short gag collections: three specials of about two minutes each, with three stories per video.
- Watch if you follow the Chimi Kyara Gekijou disc extras and want the New Levi Squad continuation of that parody thread.
- Watch if you appreciate comedy built on familiar military roles and exaggerated character caricatures rather than plot development.
It may not suit you if
- May not suit viewers seeking canon story progression; these are home-video bonus shorts outside the main narrative.
- May not suit newcomers unfamiliar with the cast, since the humor relies on knowing the characters being spoofed.
- May not suit anyone wanting long-form episodes; each video runs roughly two minutes and contains quick sketches.
- May not suit viewers who prefer the main series' grim tone; the chibi presentation deliberately softens the designs.
This automatic starting point balances the series length, pacing, time commitment, and available Volluble research data. Editors can override it when firsthand knowledge suggests a better entry point.
Why It Connects With Audiences
Why people love it
- Its chibi style turns familiar military characters into approachable caricatures, offering a playful tonal contrast.
- The short runtime makes it easy to sample the specials in one sitting without committing to a full arc.
- As a home-video extra tied to Season 3 Part 2, it gives existing fans a compact, low-stakes comedy revisit.
- The continued New Levi Squad chibi storyline rewards viewers who have followed the earlier disc-exclusive parody specials.
Common criticisms
- Because it is a disc-bundled special, it may be harder to find through official streaming; no services are listed and the English dub is unconfirmed.
- Its sketch format and very short runtime leave little room for narrative development or sustained jokes.
- The humor depends heavily on prior franchise familiarity, so some gags may not land for casual or new viewers.
- As optional side content, it does not advance the main plot and may feel insubstantial to those seeking canonical material.

Production Background
This special is a set of three chibi parody shorts made as bonus material for the Japanese home video release of Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2. One short was bundled with each DVD or Blu-ray volume, with the first arriving on July 24, 2019 and the last on September 18, 2019. Each entry runs roughly two minutes and packs three stories into that time, so the release functions as a compact collection of gag segments rather than a single narrative episode.
The work belongs to the Chimi Kyara Gekijou line, a run of comedic, super-deformed side stories tied to the home video editions of earlier seasons as well. Its subtitle, rendered in Japanese as Shinsei Rivai-han (New Levi Squad), places the shorts within that ongoing chibi continuity, and the AniList listing notes that they pick up the thread established by the previous disc-exclusive parody specials. The source manga is Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan, and the official site credit line identifies Isayama, Kodansha, and the Attack on Titan Production Committee in connection with the property.
As a disc-bundled special rather than a broadcast title, the release carries no listed streaming services and no confirmed English dub. Its classification as Comedy and Fantasy, with Military and Parody themes, along with content tags such as Chibi and Kaiju, reflects the short-form satirical approach that distinguishes it from the main series.
Where This Fits in Attack on Titan
A spoiler-light guide to where this exact work fits within the broader Attack on Titan franchise.
-
Step 1
Start with the main Shingeki no Kyojin anime, not this special. These shorts are home-video extras for Season 3 Part 2 and assume familiarity with the series.
-
Step 2
Before this work, watch the earlier Chimi Kyara Gekijou chibi parody specials from prior seasons, because this Part 2 continues that running parody storyline.
-
Step 3
Treat this special as optional and alternate side content. It is not required for following the main plot and sits beside the core anime rather than replacing it.
-
Step 4
After finishing it, return to the main Shingeki no Kyojin anime or other franchise entries you are following. There is no required next step from this parody short.
Franchise Path
- Start with the main Shingeki no Kyojin anime to know the cast and military world.
- Then watch the earlier Chimi Kyara Gekijou chibi parody specials from prior seasons.
- This Part 2 continues that running chibi parody thread as a Season 3 Part 2 home-video extra.
After You Finish
Continue with
- No direct sequel or required next step follows this parody special.
- Return to the main Shingeki no Kyojin anime or another franchise entry you are following.
- Treat this as optional side content that stands beside the core story.
