Review of Attack on Titan

At first, I was hesitant to watch this anime. After just a few glimpses of all the blood and gore that it is comprised of, I was immediately scared off. Aside from the violence, the Titans were disturbing enough that I thought I would have nightmares were I to ever watch this anime. If my friends had not consistently praised this anime, I would have passed it off as an anime I would never watch. Luckily for me, my friends were persistent in urging me to watch it, which is a decision I did not regret. It was as violent and disturbing as I feared,but there were so many elements to this anime that I had not given it credit for at first glance. The whole concept of it was so refreshingly novel, and the storyline was incredibly realistic. Of course, by realistic, I don't mean that the Titans and the 3D-Maneuver Gear are real, but rather, the way that situations turn out seem so much more like what might happen in real life. Everyone enjoys a happy ending, but there is a certain appeal those cheesy animes don't have that Shingeki no Kyojin does. The only reason the "Enjoyment" level is an 8 is because I don't particularly enjoy the sights and sounds of blood and death. I would definitely recommend this anime!
