Review of Attack on Titan

Story: Starts off very strong with the first episode and doesn't lose too much steam honestly. The world and set pieces are so interesting that even with just ok characters I wanted to keep watching. I do find it interesting that the plot takes a shift from titans vs. humans to more about uncovering a government conspiracy a la fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. Art: Not a huge fan of the color palette honestly. Just a little bit too brown for me. Also, I did notice there were a surprising amount of stills used especially towards the beginning. The scenes that they did go all out on look really goodthough. I distinctly remember one episode towards the beginning where it felt like they poured all of their budget into animating a sick sequence of Jean or someone flying through the city with odm gear.

Character:
Not amazing but pretty good. Their designs aren't super memorable. Also, the main three characters are growing on me, but I don't particularly care for them too much. If any of them died, I don't know if I would care all that much. Levi is the best character in terms of design, voice acting, etc. for me. All of the side characters feel pretty one dimensional and forgettable. Jean was the only one they really tried to make you care for but even he is just a boring character. Not a great sign when one of the most liked characters in discussion threads is literally just a girl that likes bread. All of the character deaths don't mean too much when you don't care about any of them.

Sound:
Really good when I paid attention to it. Openings and endings good as well.
