Review of Attack on Titan

I must say I was disappointed with this one. After all the hype I expected something good. The show resembles Claymore in many, many ways which is the main reason I watched it but while Claymore scores lower, I still believe it to be superior in every way. As far as the story goes, it's very basic. Giant people and that's about it. The character's are the worst part of the whole anime bearing little to no personality and being annoying and/or useless almost all the time. They have this overly dramatic monologues and are constantly stalling the pacing with their "going insane" or "I amso shocked" dramas. While you expect them to react like this, it wears off very quickly and becomes irritating.
Where it succeeds is the action. Great art and good fight scenes but even these suffer from the ever so often staling of the character's reactions.
Overall, I truly believe this to be over hyped and overrated but if you are willing to sit through it for the fights scenes then more power to you.
