Review of Attack on Titan
*Season 1 review only* Overrated! Boring! Nothing of substance! STORY- The premise is pretty different from other generic animes. But the result was the same. Boring story. Really boring and sleep inducing. The first episode was pretty cool and I expected to be a series about surviving with strategies in this tough world. But everything went opposite. The main character got the power of titan and began fighting with pure anger and no strategies. The first four episodes about training seemed like a good start. But with attack on Trost, it went downhill. The whole 10 episode arc was all about killing off characters and trying tobe super dark. But failed badly. Then Eren got selected in Recon Corps and went for a mission outside the wall. Encountered another titan shifter, fought her and lost and then fought against in the middle of a city. I mean what the hell is this logic, why do you want to sacrifice a whole goddamn city for that. The strategies are so over the top and trying to symbolize the, 'you have to make sacrifices to achieve something' belief. But this isn't how war works. You can't play with people's life. Isayama has no idea of what war actually is. That's it.There is no substance in the story. Just killing and killing with some plot twists.
CHARACTERS- The characters are so bland and boring. Eren is so annoying and didn't develop in 25 long episodes. Mikasa is a bland and boring simp. Armin is a coward and timid boy but becomes hard as a rock out of nowhere and begins making strategies.
And Levi is one of the most overrated characters ever. So bland and one dimensional but still got a lot of popularity just because he is cool. Damn the characters are trash. The creator is just killing off characters like a joke. I mean what is he trying to do.
STRATEGIES- I gave a special section for the strategies because they are horrible. Every plan is a gamble without thinking deeply. Sacrificing lives like a joke. Makes no sense. I mean if this situation comes in real lives, the commanders would make deep plans and think before sacrificing lives because the population is already low. But Isayama thinks differently. Trashy strategies. Over the top and unrealistic. Its all about shock value .
The animation and music was also mediocre at best.
1/10 anime.
