Review of Attack on Titan

Now, I haven't watched watched a lot of anime or read a lot of manga, but I must say, Attack on Titan really is one of the greatest shows I've seen, if not the greatest. I am not exaggerating when I say that the anime is beyond amazing. Of course, this is my own personal opinion, so my review may be the complete opposite of someone else's. To me, Attack on Titan is not only a story of survival, but of hope, ambition, and most importantly, love. It has all of the elements of a killer story: an outstanding plot, relatable and lovable characters (mostly),and not to mention, out of the universe animation, which is more important than you'd think.

Story (10/10): It is a story unlike any other that I know of. It honestly is quite complex, and has a lot more depth than you would think. There are way too many questions that need to be answered, and that just makes it a lot more interesting. The plot is thick, and keeps thickening as you go along. It's quite emotional and dramatic, but can also be hilarious at times. It's a brilliant story that revolves around the very popular topic of species-threatening enemies and human extinction. However, the topic or idea is taken to a whole new level with this anime. The titans are fucking horrifying. Seriously. The anime captures how terrifying these creatures can be. Also, the pace is quite fast, but you get used to it, and it honestly makes sense considering the events of the story. The titans don't give a fuck, y'all. What I do like most about this anime is how it sticks to the topic. I really dislike fillers, so I love how this anime has little to no fillers.

Art & Sound (10/10): Okay... I'm seriously not kidding when I say that the animation is SO GOOD. Honestly, every aspect of the animation is brilliant. I can't stand watching anything that is not of good quality, so the art made everything so much better. I can say without a doubt that the animation of this show is THE BEST out of all the anime that I've had the privilege to watch.

Characters (10/10): I love the characters more than I should, really. The characters all have very distinct personalities. We have the main characters, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin: one is super ambitious, one is a TOTAL BADASS, and one is hella smart. They have a wonderful relationship, and you can't help but grow to love them all. The supporting characters are great as well.. well, for the most part, at least.

Enjoyment (10/10): You can obviously tell that I love this anime. I enjoyed it to an amount that cannot be comprehended. It was an emotional rollercoaster: I cried, I laughed, and I shit my pants a couple of times, too, and I absolutely loved it. The characters inspire me, and the story does too. I haven't watched an anime like it, and I doubt I will any time soon. It's just too good to be true.

I recommend this anime to ANYONE and EVERYONE. You will undoubtedly enjoy it, regardless of who you are. Prepare yourself for a crazy rollercoaster. Don't worry, you'll love it.
