Review of Attack on Titan

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? A masterpiece. Season 1 was quick, brutal, and thrusts you into the plot without ANY foreplay. Won't even buy you a drink first. World-building is so immediate it's almost terrifying. Every mystery, flashback, confusion, it'll take you by the throat like your life depends on it (and it does, especially in the later seasons, trust me.) The characters? Complex, flawed, angry, and most of all, scared. (I could never hate you, Annie, no matter how much I really should.) Season 1 doesn't give a FUCK about your feelings. The milisecond you get attached to ANYONE is the same milisecond theshow decides to RUIN your LIFE.

You're watching people attempt to save humanity while slowly losing their own.
