Review of Attack on Titan
I get the hype. "Attack on Titan" is simply amazing, full of great characters and terrifying monsters. Those giant mouths are just creepy. Story: The idea of humanity being trapped behind walls to hide from giant monsters that love to eat humans is amazing. It seems very hopeless at first because after the giant titan destroys the wall, how are they supposed to defeat them? Humans die all the time and it's very harrowing. I really love the darkness of this anime, even though there is hope. Every time things start to get better, something bad happens, which makes it very suspenseful. I also have alot of questions and really hope that they'll answer them in the next season.
Art & Sound:
I really hated the opening change. I never skipped the original one because I absolutely loved it, but the new one was so horrible compared to it. Why not keep it, argh! The battle music was always on point, very epic! Loved it. Same goes for the animation, the titans looked so human and yet not human at all.
Character:
The characters are very interesting and realistic. Those in power seem heartless at times, but they simply react in their interest or the interest of humanity as a whole. However, you could see their inward struggle sometimes. The younger ones that decide to join the military, all have their reasons and are often frightened. Same goes for experienced people. I also liked how a lot of people in the Survey Corps seem to be a little mad, I think you probably have to be if you want to survive as part of the Survey Corps. I think Mikasa is my favourite with her unconditional love for Eren and immense strength. I enjoyed Hanji a lot because she doesn't look at titans the same as all the other humans and her freakouts are hilarious.
Enjoyment:
Absolutely amazing! I was constantly on edge because of all the cliffhangers and I had to force myself to stop watching and then watched something else for some time because I knew that if I started one episode, I wouldn't be able to stop. You never know what happens next and who will die. I also liked the balance between action episodes and episodes without action. I never felt bored and I also never felt like too much was happening at once.
