Story 2/10 In terms of story the only thing that'll grip you is the plot of this anime and the surreal situation around it. Giants taken over world? Live in a damn cage? Pretty interesting, but the story itself about a teenager putting so many asspulls and breaking universal laws is interesting enough for me because objectively Kyojin has a very weak story. It's dull and dead beat entertainment. Nothing about it different from anything else other than the typical revenge shonen story. No explanation or anything with asspulls, when it tries to be serious story, but hey it's a shonen. What the hell doyou expect?

Art 10/10
Despite the story being completely half assed, the art is gorgeous and unique in its own way with very high production value. It's eye candy.

Sound 7/10
Sometimes the sound just doesn't fit the atmosphere and the OP/EDs are good, but they have nothing to do with the overall plot/story.

Character 1/10
I will say this two times that you can get it. The characters in Shingeki are uncharismatic idiots. The characters in Shingeki are uncharismatic idiots.
Motivation for most of the characters? Haha, no explanation. Development at all? Haha, none. Any depth at all? Haha, none. Dialogue is at least coherent? Haha, none. Likable characters? Haha, none.
The fact that most of the characters lack any depth due to the fact that while introducing a shit ton of characters, they don't explain anything about them either while they just die off. The only character with backstories is the hero and heroine of the show. Not surprising.

Enjoyment 4/10
After figuring out the fact that after the first 4 episodes were just carefully thought out for hype and attention grabs i quickly became disinterested as this show was turning into a shonen mish mash. I did not enjoy this anime at all. I saw potential in the anime, but they just wasted it away by having a weak story and having very weak characters.

Overall 3/10
If you are looking forward to looking at watching paint dry go ahead, but if you aren't don't.
