Review of Attack on Titan

I've heard about Shingeki no Kyojin from many people before, but I wasn't interested. The idea of titans devouring humans just seemed absurd to me. I didn't plan on watching it until a friend of mine kept pushing me to do so, and I'll tell you now. I regret every second I didn't watch this anime after its release. I don't consider myself an anime fanatic, but I watched a bunch of anime in my time, and to me, Shingeki no Kyojin is this rare jewel you can find under a pile of uninteresting anime. It has been very long ago since I felt so excitedabout any anime at all. Everyone likes cool characters and some awesome action, but to me, that was just icing on the cake, and not as interesting as the atmosphere of the world. You don't find much anime with an environment full of pessimism like in this one. Each episode makes it clearer to you how hopeless humanity's situation is, that they are losing, and despite that, they try. It simply gets you absorbed into the world and the characters. With each episode you realize that there is always a little innocence left to lose. Love and warmth is taken away from the characters, and they become bitter and sad, and despite that, they never lose themselves entirely.

I didn't mention that the soundtracks are also really great to hear, and I know that some people are encouraged just by a good opening music, and for all who didn't give this anime a chance, I recommend and urge you to try it out. Watch it and feel the experience I had with it.
