Review of Attack on Titan

I first watched Shingeki no Kyojin as a teenager, and like most boys I was more interested in the action, to see who's stronger, which side will prevail, etc. (the things I liked watching shounen anime). But now as an adult re-watching this I've come to realize how heavy the story is and how realistic each character's reactions to situations are. Most shows where they charge to their deaths you won't see any trace of fear in them; But in Shingeki no Kyojin it's apparent, it's not the absence of fear but the courage to face it despite knowing they'll die. It's such a great touchto the show and it makes the characters feel human and believable.

This season is action-packed, full of unknowns that hook you into wanting to know more. The story isn't as straight-forward and will give subtle hints as to what is really happening. It allows the one watching to think and thus craving the answer if they are correct or wrong.

These two quotes from the show perfectly describes its underlying theme:
"Those who can't abandon anything can't change anything".
"The ability to abandon humanity when forced to rise above monsters".
