Review of Attack on Titan

How little we knew Firstly, I need to point out that this is one of my favourite anime’s of all time. The show has everything you need from an anime.....EVERY THING. Fortunately, it’s broken into seasons on My Anime List so it’s easier to provide some words to hopefully put into perspective the gravity of this show. You are introduced to Titans very quickly. They are awful. Mindless, emotionless beings that quite simply bring destruction. Witnessing this destruction is our wonderful main protagonist Eren. Immediately you are drawn into his determination, anger, pain and revenge. He is a very strong protagonist for a verystrong show.

The story in season 1 develops very nicely and gives you the right amount of time to buy in to the characters. Though the action is relatively light within the first main story arc, constantly, you remain engaged and excited for what is to come.....and what is to come certainly does not disappoint. Looking back, I remember vividly my jaw remaining dropped for a good 15 minutes at certain points in the season.

At the conclusion of this season, you begin to realise that although on paper Erin is our main character, the rest of their cast hold their own, in particular Armin, Mikasa, Levi and Erwin.

The animation is stunning. The way in which they’ve conveyed the ODM gear the scouts use is nothing short of superb and shows you just what it’s capable of.

Who’s knows where this show could go? You will definitely end this season with the same question. However, as a retrospective reviewer........YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE IN FOR!
