Review of Attack on Titan

Shingeki no Kyoujin surpassed my expectations. I was expecting it to be be good, but it turned out to be great. Fluid and spectacular action, a good soundtrack, and a plot that kept me interested the whole way through. The story of Shingeki no Kyoujin season 1 was overall pretty good. It did have a few lower points that weren't as engaging or interesting as I would have liked them to be, but it was plenty to keep me interested, and that's the most important function of a story in an action anime; to keep us interested while it gets on to the next big fight. Thecast of characters of Shingeki no Kyojin isn't anything remarkable deep or truly amazing, but I do think that a large portion of them are likeable in some way or another, and there weren't any characters I thought were done really poorly or really hated. So overall I think it did a pretty good job.

The art and sound of Shingeki no Kyojin was pretty great. The fights looked awesome, and the music made the experience even better. It also features an amazing OP for the first half of the season. (OP 2 is fine but nowhere near as good in my opinion) The animation was pretty good, even the CGI was pretty good, except for a few small places that I can't recall specifically but remember having bad CGI.

I also want to point out how much I liked the titan designs. They have this great unhinged and uncanny look to them. With slightly off proportions and strange faces giving them this strange, foreboding appearance that really added to the mood.

I enjoyed Shingeki no Kyojin Season 1 quite a bit. It gave me everything I wanted out of an action anime about massive scary abominations, and I plan to continue the series soon.
