Review of Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan has blown up over the years and the first season of this show has aired as of this year officially 10 years ago and everyone in the Anime community has probably watched at least the first season. The first season feels almost like an entirely different world in comparison to what is going on in the later seasons but we don't want to spoil. The basic premise is humans against Titans, man-eating monsters. Humans have been living for decades peacefully behind walls who protect them from Titans until a few unknown Titans appear and destroy the first of 3 walls, leading Titans toflood the district and killing countless humans, the mother of the main protagonist included who then swears to kill all Titans. Him and his two friends join the scouts, people who leave the safety of the walls to explore the outside world and have to fight against the Titans on the way.

The action scenes in this show are really well down and so is the violence as people constantly die. If you want to get attached to characters, just don't in this show as you never know who might die or not although this enhances the feeling of the cruelty of this world. Whilst the fight scenes certainly will get you hyped up, the first season doesn't do the best job in promoting it's characters as deeply as they could have done, some of them appear for a few episodes and then don't get explored that much again.

The second half of this season is probably the stronger one as a plot twist is thrown in which deepens the mystery of this world a bit more.

I don't need to say too much about Aot though since I feel like it has become a modern classic nowadays.
