Review of Attack on Titan

Giants, Flying Apparatuses, Swords, and Babes. Look, don't let this show get to you like I let it do. It doesn't help anybody. This show–which I watched only 1 week ago mind you–is just awesome. If you like any of these things I just mentioned in the beginning, look no further, this one's in the ballpark for you. For starts, all the characters have a simple, yet intrinsic feel to them that just feels like home. Think Ikari Shinji from the cult classic anime Neon Genesis Evangelion levels of simple. These guys have families. They have motives. Viewers will love to see that these characters alllook very different and unique, and it shows. All of this culminates into the overarching message of the story; To Never Give Up In the face of adversity.

The art in this show is top-notch, and when I say top-notch, I mean it. I mean, you've heard of the Dragon Balls, the Yu-Gi-Oh!s, the Konjiki No Gash Bell!s, and I hope we all could remember what I would consider a personal favorite; Kimetsu No Yaiba. The backgrounds go from awesome to epic as they blend effortlessly into the scene. Alright, look, listen, when all of these shows come to mind, they all have one thing in common with Shingeki no Kyojin, and that's the great and unique artstyles. They knocked it out of the ballpark on these ones artistically.

The sound is, well, the sound quite frankly. It gets more complex as the episodes continue which I won't concede that as a serious issue. I would say that it just makes the show a little more convoluted at points which is okay because the rest of the show picks up on this and runs with it. Rome wasn't built in a day, and that is evident with the sound design in this show.

I would say my enjoyment of this show was quite hit or miss at some points which can happen with just about any anime series. At first, it went from lackluster to back buster. HOWEVER, the show redeemed itself and I was able to listen to the opening after the 4th episode again. I won't lie; I was a little concerned with the show at first. I didn't want to persevere through it but I did, and I would recommend all of you do the same thing. You will not regret this.

Ending Thoughts: This show, while challenging, is one of the most fun watches I've had of an anime recently. I wouldn't let the challenging aspect get in the way if I were you because it's worth it. Give the show a chance, titan. You won't regret it.
