Review of Attack on Titan

The old "monsters have invaded so let's kill them all" story. At first you might be turned off by the concept of the plot, but things quickly pick up and get very interesting. There's an element of mystery that AoT revolves around; if you like a good mystery, the world AoT is set in is very unique and there are many unexpected twists and turns. I'd describe the mood of the show as mostly grim, fearful, and intense. The story really does cover a wide set of emotions; the show seems to consistently use the theme of the 'human experience' as a way of tellingthe story. If I had to say something bad about AoT it would be that lines can get repetitive. While character models are animated nicely, they don't quite impress while motionless. If I had to say something good about AoT it would easily be the voice acting. Its unusual for such a large cast to have consistently good VA's, (especially for a serious show) AoT does a magnificent job in that area. Characters are great across the board, there's a great diversity of personalities and unique backstories that make this story one of a kind. Art and animation are very well done, the combination of highly detailed backgrounds and less detailed characters is able to create very fluid animated movements that are exciting and pleasing to the eye. Animation is lightning fast and very intense, the show rarely disappoints in that area. Music has an exciting tempo to it that can often draw you into the world at war theme. The plot has a nice way of building up and has many good unexpected twists. Favorite character: Armin. I give it a 9.5/10

TLDR Version: Great dramatic action and cast. Mysterious plot and nice setting.
