Well, simply put, this anime is among one of my favorites. There are a lot of reasons for it, but this anime is very good in my opinion. First off, this show is EXTREMELY violent, so if you aren't good with a lot of violence, don't watch it. If you can handle the violence, watch it. Most people seem to enjoy it a lot.
Story: I thought the story was very original for it's time when it came out (2004). Since then people have taken the idea of the who "non human girl living with a human guy" story line. But for it's time frame, it is good. The story is not hard to follow and will keep you interested from start to finish. A few points of the story are slightly disturbing depending on you. The whole plot is very dark, again dealing with violence throughout. 10/10
Art: Since this anime is now roughly 9 years old, the art isn't that great compared to what we have now. The characters are well drawn, the backgrounds look good, and the action scenes look good. Not much to say here really. 9/10
Sound: The opening and closing for this anime are one of my favorites. They aren't your average action packed openings with lyrics in the song. Instead, they are peaceful instrumentals with the main female character blended in with artwork from Gustav Klimt. The ending also has this vibe to it. Throughout the actual story, we get good music as well. 10/10
Character: In my opinion, this is where the series really stands out. The main main protagonist, Kouta, has a very sad past and you learn his childhood very in depth, even though the series is only 13 episodes. Though I didn't like him all that much, I though his character development was phenomenal. Then there's Lucy/Nyu. One of my favorite anime characters of all time. She was shown to have 2 personalities (3 in the manga) and all 3 differed greatly. I loved how dark her Lucy persona was while at the same time she was deep down caring. The other characters were also very cool and I enjoyed them for the most part. 10/10
Enjoyment: For me, this is my 3rd favorite anime, so I obviously enjoyed it. Everything was pretty sweet in my opinion and I'm pretty sure most people think so as well. So for me, 10/10
Overall: 10/10 I really recommend this show to anyone who can handle the violence and dark themes.

After watching Golden Boy I can honestly say that I've found a keeper. Golden Boy is the story of Kintaro Oe and his adventures as a freeter. He constantly finds women that are in trouble or are about to be in trouble. There are only six episodes and each episode features a diffent girl and Kintaro's ability to win their love.
Story - 9: This anime focusses more on comedy than actual storyline, but the characters and comedy more than make up for the lost point.
Art - 8: The art is good for it's time. Kintaro has the least believable facial expressions sometimes,
...
but that just adds to the comedic factor of this anime.
Sound - 10: This anime has one of the greatest OP's I've heard in anime. It's a mix of 80's and just pure epicness in my opinion.
Character - 10: This is where this anime shines. Kintaro is by far one of my favorite characters. It's not often you come upon a character that has the brains of Einstein and the common sense of a wet blanket. Kintaro really makes this anime worth watching.
Enjoyment - 10: I just love this anime. For only six episodes it manages to wrap itself up and leaves room for a sequel. I thought this was one of the funniest animes I had ever seen and I bought the DVD almost immediately.
Overall - 10: This is just a good anime, pure and simple. The characters, the music, the scene with the bike. It's all so funny and well done.

"I want to see and understand the world outside. I don't want to die inside these walls without knowing what's out there!"
When I first started watching Attack on Titan, I was instantly bitch slapped with an extremely high level of feels. In 1 episode, it got the entire audience feeling depressed, yet at the same time totally pumped to continue watching. I know what you're thinking, "This anime isn't even half over, and yet you're writing a review about it giving it a perfect 10, what the hell are you thinking? NOT HELPFUL!". Now, before you do that, continue reading, there is a reason
...
I'm rating this 10, and I will update this again once the show continues on, most likely when it ends. To this date, I haven't been this pumped to watch an anime the day it airs since Fairy Tail. Now, let's start talking about reasons why...
First of all, when it comes to anime, I can usually let a show's uniqueness in storylines slide. I can't tell you how many visual-novel-based animes I've seen with the same exact plot. But I also know that most people would drop the anime if they have the same concept before. Luckily, Attack on Titan has a completely unique storyline to it, and I was definitely not disappointed. It takes place in what I would call a parallel world, due to the fact that despite the year being 845-850, they have advanced technology, yet still live like they were in the medieval times. There is one problem though: they're living inside an extremely large wall to keep creatures known as Titans out. Titans are these human-like giants that feast on normal sized humans. They cannot reproduce, but they never get hungry, so they feast on humans because they enjoy it. Sick. A group of people known as the Recon Corps try to discover new facts about Titans so that they might be able to defeat them and live happily once again. But one day, a Colossus of a Titan knocks down the first wall, letting a large amount of Titans get in, and then it just disappears. The story is mainly focused on Humanity's survival against the Titans. Very intriguing if you ask me, and it's full of action and suspense, and a crap ton of cliff hangers.
Attack on Titan was animated by Wit Studio, who has been known for very few animes, one in which was Robotic;Notes, the other being a movie called Hal. Now, despite Wit Studios being one of the lesser known companies, they did an EXCELLENT job with the art style. The characters are expertly drawn, the Titans give off a threatening but realistic vibe to their art style, and the setting of Attack on Titan is one of the most detailed I've ever seen.
As for the voice actors, we have Yuki Kaji (Lyon from Fairy Tail, Issei from High School DxD) voicing the main protagonist, Eren. Next we have Yui Ishikawa (Dhianeila from Heroic Age) voicing Mikasa. Last we have Marina Inoue (Yoko from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) voicing Armin. I must say, they have done an excellent job giving their characters emotion and realism when it comes to their personalities and overall sounds. I have enjoyed the cast's performance so far, and I can't wait to see who'll come in next.
There are few animes I've watched that have no characters that I hate. Attack on Titan has a few characters that I don't really hate per se, I just don't particularly care if they get eaten later on. However, none of the main protagonists I have a problem with actually, in fact one of them is one of my favorite characters period. To start off, Eren. His main goal is to join the Recon Corps so he can go explore the world since he's been trapped inside the walls for his entire life due to the dangers that lie outside. He has some anger issues, but for good reasons mostly, however that might come as a problem later on, in fact it kind of has already, but his spirit is what is keeping him alive. Next is Mikasa, and she was the favorite I was talking about before. She's calm, cool, strong, and kind of cute if you ask me. She isn't technically related to Eren in any way, but she started living with him and his family after an incident a few years back (again, not spoiling anything). Her strength and skill is what makes her such a good character, and she does have a caring personality overall. Last is Armin. At first glance, he's weak, he cries a lot, but he is a good leader and very brave. He's able to make logical decisions and plans, and that helps out later on. He isn't particularly strong, he has not fought a lot so far, but he has enough will power to continue on.
I'm enjoying the HELL out of this anime, no joke. I've been keeping up with every episode, I've even gotten some of my friends to watch it, and they're enjoying it as well. So do I recommend that fans of the action/thriller genre watch this? Yes. This is highly acclaimed, and it's even made it to #8 somehow on MAL when it's only 12 episodes in. Not all of you may enjoy this, some might think it's overrated, which is exactly how Sword Art Online got mixed feelings about and had half of the audience loving it with the other half hating it, but I really suggest you watch this until it ends for you to make a decision whether you like it or hate it. You now have my permission to rate "Not Helpful" if I have not made my point clear enough.
