Review of Attack on Titan

Shingeki no Kyojin...Never have I thought that I would find an anime like this...An anime that instantly took the world by storm because it IS that good Story (9/10) SnK is a world where humanity now live in fear of giant, overpowered Titans whom exist to feed on humans. What was interesting is that humanity had to barricade themselves behind giant wall structures in order to keep the Titans out and although this was the case, the humans decided to fight back and created their own military tasked with protecting and hopefully someday eliminating the titan threat. Another thing I love is how dramatic it is, canyou even imagine if the world we live in today was like this? I'm pretty certain that we all would act the very same way. The way everyone cowers in fear of a threat that they really can't get rid of, the emotions that occur when people watch their loved ones get eaten and that drive that the soldiers get whenever they fight back...Beautiful...Just beautiful...Another thing that worked quite nicely was the thing that everyone dreads....Fillers...SnK is one of the few anime where the fillers actually worked quite well because they nicely added to the plot and even gave more depth to some characters, as well as providing more badass action to it

Animation (10/10)
Gorgeous is an understatement when describing the animation for this. The animation was pretty much a mixture of the old school and the new school, and the characters were drawn pretty well compared to the manga versions which in itself is amazing. The scenery in is just beautiful and then there's my personal favorite, the 3D Maneuver Gear scenes....Animation at its FINEST right there...However the Titan designs (Minus the human-titans) are quite hilarious to say the least, but the reason why that in itself is beautiful is because it suits them perfectly because of the way they act...Yes it has scenes where there are stills but honestly, what anime in the past 5 years hasn't had any

Sound (10/10)
The openings.....Japanese + German lyrics...Never in my life have I seen a phenomena that works so well.....And the...Hell I can't even describe the feeling, but in my case, whenever I listen to them with the sound at max volume, I get this feeling where I'm just super pumped up and ready for my mind to be blown..The excitement these openings give is just awesome and the same can also be said with the endings...Its sometimes hard to find an anime that has BOTH great openings and endings and SnK is one of the select few....Wait, you thought it ended there? Oh no no no no no my children, the fun doesn't stop there...The entire OST for this anime...There is without a doubt in my mind that its one of the greatest of all time. Like, they fit SO WELL with this anime, and in certain scenes!!!! Even the lyrics does the same thing, if you haven't heard this soundtrack yet I HIGHLY recommend that you do, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Characters (9/10)
There is literally no named character that I didnt like in this anime...They"re all just great and different in their own rights

Eren - The main protagonist of the series, is a hot blooded kid who's determined to slaughter every single last titan there is. One reason why I sympathize and respect Eren is because he watched his own mother die in the most brutal way possible, and whats worse is that they parted whilst being on somewhat bad terms with each other. On the other hand, Eren is really stupid when it comes to battle and tends to foolishly rush into battle without thinking and or makes questionable decisions which then usually results in himself and sometimes the people around him getting hurt or worse killed...Regardless, the reason why he is like this is because he truly despises the titans, and can you blame him? The kid watched his MOTHER die!!!! Imagine if you were in that situation. How would you feel to lose someone THAT close to you?

Mikasa - Mikasa is the most badass female MC I have ever seen, she is just a monster in every sense of the word, her fighting prowess is just so phenomenal its impossible to not respect her skills. Her personality on the other hand is kind of dull but I see it as maturity and determination to get the job done....Her flaw is that when it comes to Eren's safety, everything else takes the back seat and because of that she herself has done a lot stupid things, but I get it....Eren is her only family left and I too would do anything to protect my only living loved one

Armin - In the beginning I couldn't stand Armin because he was that type who was a coward/crybaby and was just utterly useless, but as the series progressed he really grew out of his stereotype and surprised me the most out of everyone. His analytical and strategic skills are top notch and he is ALWAYS thinking ahead and of a sound mind and that in itself is very admirable

Levi Heicho - The greatest thing to ever happen in this anime....Humanity's strongest soldier....The midget clean freak....The devoted, trusting and very capable leader...The best to ever use the 3D Gear, Captain Levi of the Scouting Legion...He is literally Mikasa times 1000, except his personality is just great (Even though he hardely shows any emotions lol) Levi is clearly my favorite character, but the amount of epic moments this guy has had....I swear if there was a scale of epicness he'd be off the charts

Honourable Mentions - Commander Irwin, Commander Pixis, Sasha, Hanji, Annie, Reiner, Jean,Ymir, Hannes, Levi's Squad memebers. All these characters are equally as great as the ones named above for reasons too many to state at the moment

Enjoyment (10/10)
One thing this anime did really well was the art of using cliffhangers. SnK is that type of anime to incorporate so many epic moments, people, fight scenes, comedy and wtf moments into one episode and then would end it on an awesome note that just leaves the viewers wanting more...I can't tell you guys how many times I almost lost it during this series...When you add the OST in....You will have the best time of your LIFE when watching an anime

Overall (11/10)
There's nothing more to be said honestly, this anime was just perfect....It did things to me that I didnt know were possible...The emotions I felt from watching this were over 9000...This is EASILY the anime of the year
