Review of Attack on Titan

For all the reviews I am going to do,I am gonna keep them short and straight to the point. I know I don't like when a review just rambles on about nothingness or a minor part of the whole anime. "Shingeki no Kyojin" or also known to many as "Attack on Titan" is a jaw dropping, almost perfect, dramatic, action packed, emotional roller coaster, badass, and phenomenal anime. This anime was quick to to spread and soon joined the group with all the famous anime's such as Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, Bleach, etc. I mean, how could one not talk about Attack on Titan?? Ithad all the traits to become as well known and respected as it is today. After finishing each episode, you can't leave. You just want to keep knowing more. It almost becomes impossible not to watch the whole season in one sitting. I literally watched 25 episodes in a single night before an 8 am class. YES I HAVE A PROBLEM.

Story to me is a ten. A perfect ten at that. From the first episode you are drawn in from the horrific gore you are forced to watch. The story is incredibly brutal. Death after death after death. It may not even be an important character, but their passing will still haunt you due to the pure bloodshed, sounds of their cries, and screams you hear. The idea is incredibly unique. I mean titans? It is such an odd and interesting concept you can't seem to understand right from the beginning. Here are these gigantic human like creatures devouring humans as their fuel to live. THERE ARE EVEN VARIANTS OF THESE CREATURES I MEAN HOW COOL IS THAT. The humans fighting system is so darn unique. The directional movement gear makes for amazing fighting scenes. Causing action packed and intense scenes. Humans literally fly through the air like spider man with these things while wielding swords to kill the titans. With this concept and the way the city is set up, it creates a beautiful battleground that is nothing less then perfect for the anime.

Art: It was the first of its kind. Unique art that may seem weird at first glance, but grows on you quickly. I really do think that this anime has to be watched in HD. I watched in HD and holy firiggin moly. The difference with HD and non-HD is monumental. AS YOU CAN TELL MY POINT IS TO WATCH IN HD PLEASE FOR BEST EXPERIENCE.

Sound: The sound was great. When in fight scenes the cutting and slashing noises were on point. Along with the air that comes with the maneuvering system. All the sounds made sense. But oh my god the noises the titans made will give me nightmares forever. Absolutely terrifying. I watched both the DUB and SUB. I absolutely loved the sub. THE DUB WAS AMAZING TOO. But for some reason there is a big debate about it. I think the voices were perfect for each character. I think you will all agree if you watch the dub. The music during the episodes to me wasn't really important. I was too focused in on the story and fighting to even realize the music. That's how good this story is....seriously guys its amazing. My eyes were locked on and I heard nothing but the characters and the sound effects. Intro song was outstanding as well. I liked listening to it. I mean its not something I blast in my car but it was really good. So in conclusion 9 is definitely a fair rating.

Characters: One of the easiest 10's I will ever give in a review. Right from the first episode you feel each characters pain after learning their back stories. You truly do feel for them. Its like you become emotionally attached to them. I love that about some anime's and Attack on Titan really connects you with the characters. I will do the main characters so I don't ramble on. I PROMISE NO SPOILERS!!!!
Eren Yeager: What an inspiring main character. Eren overcomes all odds every time you think he is down. Out of all anime I have ever watched, he could be the most determined to reach his goal. My favorite part of Eren, is that he never loses sight of his goal. He goes through some horrific, life changing, emotional events. But he still never loses sight of his original goal. I love that in characters. He is extremely emotional, but love-able. When he cries you feel for him. There are actually some scenes that almost brought me to tears because you really do feel the pain he is experiencing. Couldn't of created a better main character. He inspires almost every other character in this anime and that's what a main character should do.
Mikasa Ackerman: Such a bad-ass. A strong female role character. Her skills are mind boggling. The way she uses the maneuvering system to kill the titans is such a unique style. She compliments Eren well. I mean thank god....she is his right hand man. The best part of Mikasa is she knows how strong she is but is not even close to cocky about it. Actually quite shy about it. Humbleness in characters is a given for me to like them. I just love how she isn't a weak female role and actually kicks titan ass. Hopefully through the next season she keeps tearing up those titans!
Armin Arlert: Hmm it is not really easy to describe Armin. He really is quite complicated. A little blonde boy who is very smart but extremely weak. He is not confident in himself at all which hinders him of using his actual ability. But throughout the anime he does grow and use his speaking ability/smarts to his advantage. He is so emotional. I think the voice acting for him was the most important. During some of his speeches and scenes the voices made a huge impact. It showed his true passion and emotion he has towards other characters. If you aren't attached to Armin at first, wait a coupe more episodes. TRUST ME IT WILL HAPPEN I GOT ATTACHED. (three main characters)

Enjoyment: I mean I watched 25 episodes in one night... not my proudest 8 am class. So definitely enjoyed this anime thoroughly. One of my favorite animes of all time. A ten in my books! I think you will all enjoy this anime, seriously its worth your time.

Overall: I give it a 9. 10 is called a masterpiece, and I just sadly can't call this a masterpiece. I WANT TO SO BADLY, but I sadly can not. If I had to give a very precise rating a 9.5 would be it. A really beautiful piece of art. Season two is gonna blow up for sure.
