Review of Attack on Titan

It is not often that I enjoy an anime so full of violence and blood. Shingeki no Kyojin is one of the few that captivated me from the onset, even though many scenes made me cringe (LOL). Story 9/10 The story is one of domination, horror, betrayal and comradeship... all set in an alternate reality where titans kill men in the most gory manner (like they're insects), and men struggle to eliminate the titans. My jaw dropped at the opening scene and wondered what I'd gotten myself into as I don't have a good stomach for gore, but the creator was quick to bring me into the storyof the main protagonists and as it progresses, the plot also deepens. Viewers are treated to a world full of mystery, schemes, betrayal and comradeships.

Characters 7/10
I gave a slightly lower rating for characters becos they die off too fast for me to really know them. Lots of characters are introduced and lots of them die off before you can count to 10. This is probably my only complaint.

Art 10/10
I absolutely love the art style and special effects of this anime. The drawings are way better than the manga version which often had me lost on who's who and what's happening. In addition, the action scenes are awesome and well executed. I'm sure many fan gals fall in love with Levi like I did. *wink*

Sound 10/10
Absolutely outstanding sound effect and I love all the opening songs. And the VA for Levi - I love his voice!

Enjoyment 10/10
Shingeki no Kyojin is one hell of an exhilarating ride for me based on various aspects - its story, art style, effects and sound - one that I am willing to stomach all the gore it encompasses just to be on this ride.
