Review of Attack on Titan
The art, raw aspects of the human condition, pacing, characterization, animation, music, overall ambiance and all else contained within these 25 episodes synergistically forms a fairly masterfully implemented representation of how awesome anime can be. I waited this long to realize this, and I'm glad I've been able to enjoy this season for the first time after experiencing enough anime to appreciate what this show does so well- grip the attention of a gentleman such as myself. A chillingly fun time meaningfully spent. Very much looking forward to continuing this series. I genuinely thought this show was riding the wave of having an interesting premise,but that it'd be relatively devoid of any worthwhile quality when I first watched the first episode a few years ago. Back then, I'd watched the english dub which I thought was pretty whack. Dropped it immediately. Over the years I'd heard more and more people who I respected the opinions of commenting on how this is just an objectively cool anime for a wide variety of reasons so I finally gave it another shot which I'm unspeakably happy about.
I mostly watch dubs and will stand by that understanding the english language with all it's inflections and nuances coupled with not having to read leads to a pretty unarguably better viewing experience if the dub is of a respectably soulful quality...I watched this with Japanese voices and it was flatout incredible
