Review of Attack on Titan

The film adaptation of the manga began in 2013. With season 1 of 25 episodes, I began to get acquainted exactly in the New Year holidays of 2021. "Attack on the Titans" - after all, I am more inclined to this translation of the original title. So, here we have a fictional universe, similar to Europe in the middle of the XIX century. Humanity is under a long-term siege from huge carnivorous creatures, very militant. Three lines of high walls and constant training of the army to protect people from the formidable Titans. And from the first series, it would seem that nothing will help...until the selfless heroes take the stage!

Anime looks very exciting. Here, in the first place, of course, military battles, the unpredictable results of which are disconcerting. Colorful scenes, which were not without bloody violence, brought this anime under the ban in China and a number of other countries.

But personally, I was hooked no longer by the military atmosphere, but by the relationship of the heroes and their perseverance in the struggle for survival. The way the fate of one person is exalted over the interests of military strategists, does not leave anyone indifferent and leads to a real state of empathy! I think that this anime is worth watching at least in order to try to answer myself many questions about the morality of human actions.

By the way, as a humanist viewer, I like the character Armin more than the main character Eren. Who is your favorite character in this anime?
