Review of Attack on Titan
This is going to be a very short review. More of a story than a proper review... I watched Attack on Titan back in 2013 when it was airing. Waiting for the next episode when watching a show like this is not easy. I got so hooked that I started reading the manga but soon caught up with the story. I decided to hold off and let the manga advance a bit but somehow moved on and never got back into it. Fast forward to 2017, Attack on Titan season 2 starts airing. Of course, I wanted to start watching it but after a long breakI wanted to refresh my memory on what happened in season 1. So I decided to re-watch season 1 again while letting a few more season 2 episodes come out.
I wasn't sure I will enjoy it, after all, I remember the main storyline. I planned to take it slow and easy. So I turn on episode 1... And I am literally blown away. I have no idea what happened to me. I sort of knew what was going on but at the same time I was desperately trying to find out what would happen next. I wasn't marathoning for the sake of it, it was by no means a simple chore to remind myself of the story - I was enjoying every second of every episode. I ended up watching 8 episodes straight that day. During the next couple of days, I would come back from work and dive straight back in. I only managed to hold out for 3 days... I wasn't bored for a second. Watching this show for the second time was just as enjoyable as watching it back in 2013. Naturally, the plan to get season 2 episodes accumulate miserably failed...
For me this is a definite masterpiece and a standard for any dark fantasy action anime. My advice to you: don't even bother watching this late at night if you have work in the morning. You won't be able to stop. You have been warned!
