Review of Attack on Titan

i believe attack on titan to be the best anime of all time. It has great characters, has no cliches, an intelligent plot, and a brutal setting that doesn't conform to the typical "characters always win, friendship" because anyone can die in attack on titan. the characters in this anime go through very intense psychological trauma, stripping away their personalities turning them into some brutes with development that leaves the viewer very sympathetic and at the same time terrified. eren is an intensely emotional main character who's life has been devastated by the titans and has a seemingly futile quest for revenge that threatens to endangerthe lives of his friends mikasa and armin. mikasa is possibly even more broken than eren, after certain circumstances she has come to view eren as her only hold on humanity, and seeks to protect him. armin of course is very empathic as well, and reacts to the situations he's placed into like a real kid would; but still manages to find courage within himself, a great character.

the side cast is amazing as well, with memorable and awesome characters like levi and hanji zoe

the story is brilliant, juggling military campaigns and the survival of those within the walls with the mystery of the titans, i can't say much more with spoiling things.

music is exceptional and quite outstanding, providing adrenaline rush to already spectacular action scenes.

overall attack on titan is my personal favorite anime for it's sheer entertainment value and not so shabby story and charactes, i highly reccomend this show to everybody.
