Review of Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan makes me sad. Not because of the gruesome deaths or that killer soundtrack. It makes me sad as a critic. The first part of this show is fantastic. I went into it spoiler free and loved the twist of the main character. The characters (That we were meant to pay attention to) were all fantastic. I didn't like Mikasa a whole lot but it was fine! If this could just be based off of those first twelve episodes alone I would give it a solid 10/10 but they didn't stop there. The second half hurts me emotionally and spiritually. Because the art improved,the sound was still killer, and the scenes were badass. But something was lacking, and when I found out what it was it really shocked me. The story takes a massive plummet downwards as it shifts focus away from the good characters and on to the bad ones. Levi is a horrible character and a Mikasa reprint and she's not even good to begin with. The antagonist is REALLY REALLY easy to see coming before it happens as the show hand holds you as you pick up WAY TOO MANY clues that are too obvious.

Even the smart character Armin (Who is the best character in the show) finds a clue that he explains later all velma style that gives it all away. BUT YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES WHEN HE FINDS THE CLUE. It's drawn out, boring, and sometimes repetitive. There is one scene from the final episode that is awesome absolutely fantastic, and because it's a fighting show the final fight has to be huge! but it's forced, and really stale. Because of the sudden drop in the second half I have to give Attack on Titan a 5/10. Because it's a 10/10 that becomes a 1/10 and I can't rate them seperately so it drags that first beautiful and highly spoiled season down. If you don't know anything about this show then just watch those first twelve episodes in awe. After that there is nothing to look forwards to. I will not be watching the second installment of this series because of this.
