Review of Attack on Titan

I've never written a review for an anime before, but I found this anime problematic. We see early on the smaller humans were the dominant group. They had grown wealthy by stealing all the resources of Earth to expand their empire. At some point, larger men called "titans" or "eoten" show up and are quite angry at what has been happening to their resources. Instead of apologizing and correcting their ways, the smaller humans resist changing for the better and adapting to titan culture. Indeed, smaller humans try to kill titans and refuse cooperation with them entirely. Naturally, this gives birth to titan extremist groups whomaraud, but this is not representative of all titans.

The response of the smaller humans is ultimately to build a walled kingdom and become extremely xenophobic to these outsider titans. This is the ideal recruiting tool for titan extremists and only serves to increase the numbers attacking the wealthy smaller humans who refuse to share in their bounty and accept titans as equals. A few of the characters appear to become sympathetic to the titans and even convert to Titanism, but these characters are immediately rejected by their own friends and family as humanity traitors!

Somehow, we're supposed to believe the smaller humans are the good guys or doing what is best for humanity. This is absurd and I think the author needs to reflect on his insensitivity.
