Review of Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan is a modern classic, but season 1 really is just only the beginning. The build up to the greatness that is to come later on in the series. Because of this, many of the characters introduced this early will seem severely lacking and even simple, because the series is such a slow burn when it comes to development. You barely notice this, because season 1 is also easily the most action-packed of the seasons, so you are gracefully carried throught he currently one-dimensional characters until they bloom fully and the series slows down in turn. That being said, this is only when compared tothe later seasons, and it still towers over many contemporary anime, ascending to become a truly timeless story that can be enjoyed by anyone, even non-anime-fans.
