Review of Attack on Titan

Limited. Successful. The show's beauty can be summed up with the main characters' explicit desires: to see the sea and explore the world; despite this, they are caught up in a horrific life in which violence and despair are ever-encroaching upon freedom and their own flourishing. Some beautiful treatments of the CO-soldier relationship are touched on; the overwhelming fear of death; and the main characters are models of faith, trust, loyalty, and selfless love. Yet these characters are limited by the world they are in. Their desires highlight starkly the reality of their experience. And you'll have no choice but to suffer through it. There are moments,however, when you are flying with them, and limited as these characters are, they really fly.
