Review of Attack on Titan
!!!PREPARE YOURSELVES!!! For the Ultimate Experience of BLOOD, TITANS, POTATOES AND THE BATTLE FOR HUMANITY'S SURVIVAL. AND ALSO, GET READY TO SING THE FIRST OPENING EVERYWHERE YOU GO! YES, EVERYWHERE! *SIE SIN DAS ESSEN UND WIR SIND DER JAGER* Attack on Titan. When it first came out I was just starting to explore the anime world. I remember that everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, was talking about that show. No matter where I went, It would be there. It came in many forms: Ads, Top 1 in the "most popular" list, a girl from school humming to the theme song. There was just no escaping it! So,I sat down, finished SAO, and began Attack on Titan. After the first episode ended, I was just left there, still as a statue, wondering:
"Why on Earth did I wait till now to watch this. This is a freaking Gem!"
And then I watched 7 more episodes in a day. Yeah, the shop ended quickly for me.
THE PLOT: Humanity is threatened by huge humanoid creatures called titans. The scenario itself is very interesting. It's not your typical Zombie apocalypse, it's something different, something new! And I think that's very good for the anime.
THE CHARACTERS: Eren, a young boy who, after a certain incident, wants to wipe titans of the face of the earth. Mikasa, the coolest character who often saves the main character out of his own stupid plans, and Armin, the strategist. The characters are not special in the anime, they are just some of thousands of people who suffered because of the titans. But because they are so "ordinary", their actions matter more.
THE SOUNDTRACK: Asides from the opening, the soundtracks are very dynamic and they highlight the scenes more than you can imagine.
THE ART: The art is truly outstanding. This show is soo well animated! From a bloody scene, to Eren's eyes, everything is amazing.
Overall, I think that there is a reason that this show is do popular. I highly recommend it.
