A brutal fantasy anime definitely not targeted toward the Shounen demographic. As long as you don't despise bloodshed, this anime ticks every box to make it the masterpiece it is. This review only applies to this anime up to the last two seasons. I suggest you watch this anime until the end of season 3 part 2 or believe me the latter seasons will leave the nastiest taste in your mouth. Story: Absolutely, the best story you can find within the anime industry I dare say even in the whole media industry. I believe a good story, should first, not be predictable; second, not have any plotarmor/hole; third, have Lots of meaningful surprises; fourth, have Strong leads; fifth, the victory should not come easy. This story has it all. Not once, I could predict what will happen next. The plot is amazing. The surprises/cliffhangers are through the roof. And all characters, are well thought out and well created, and side characters are not there just so the MC could shine (talking to you Sakura, Ochaco, Orihime, you name the rest). And as for leads, man, watch Erwin and tell me if you're not ready to die for him after the end of the third season. 10 points.

Directing: As good as it can get, you cannot complain at all, while season 2 is rather slow the rest of the show picks up its slack. 2 points.

Art: Very aesthetic and unique. 2 points.

Characters: I believe Erwin is by far the best character created ever. Erwin alone can carry these anime characters but don't worry every character is likable ( of course villains are despisable but that makes them even better). 1 point.

Personal preference: Something so valuable should not come easy, if you're outmanned and outgunned, you should not win the war because the story is about you or you have a strong conviction. Quote "To surpass monsters, you must be willing to abandon your humanity." says Armin. Winning is so pricy in this anime which makes even the smallest of the wins so sweet. I love it. love it LOVE IT. 100000 points.

TLDR, Why haven't you watched this already???!!!
