Review of Attack on Titan

Attack On Titan... Let's begin with the Good stuff 1) Great action scenes. Violent, bloody, deadly 2) Great soundtrack. Perhaps the best soundtrack for anime yet. All hail Hiroyuki Shawano! 3) it's always exciting to see what will happen in the next episode 4) many great emotional scenes 5) many great secondary characters, namely Pixis, Connie, Jean, Levi, and Reiner. 6) it's a story about soldiers sacrificing their lives to fight for humanity. The martyrdom complex, the cannon fodder complex, and the heroic duty complex are all beautiful touches.Now with the problems
1) a few episodes seemed to grind to a halt
2) reliance on flashbacks
3) too much inner monologue that could've been dialogue between the characters

That's it. Shingeki No Kyojin (Attack On Titan) is a great anime. The good outweighs the bad drastically.
