Synopsis

Centuries ago, mankind was slaughtered to near extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called Titans, forcing humans to hide in fear behind enormous concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born out of hunger but what appears to be out of pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began living within defensive barriers, resulting in one hundred years without a single titan encounter. However, that fragile calm is soon shattered when a colossal Titan manages to breach the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the fight for survival against the man-eating abominations.

After witnessing a horrific personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to their eradication by enlisting into the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that combats the merciless humanoids outside the protection of the walls. Eren, his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman, and his childhood friend Armin Arlert join the brutal war against the Titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached.

⚔️ English Version

Story: 8.6/10
A brutal world where humanity hides behind massive walls from man-eating Titans. The story starts with a devastating event and builds a sense of constant threat. It’s simple at first—survive the Titans—but hints of mystery and deeper world-building begin to appear by the second half.

Mixed Feelings
Am I the only one who found this genuinely scary lolllll

Aesthetically could have gone further imo. I feel like the combo of creepy (but kinda beautiful) titans (whether eating ppl or just chilling), medieval European architecture and idyllic nature could have been utilised better to generate some really striking imagery but... oh well. I feel like this might be more to do with the style of animation that was popular at the time this was released than individual creative decisions. There were some pretty moments here and there anyway. I watched Berserk recently though and I feel like that show sets the standard for sublime ...

Why I Don't Recommend One of the Most Popular Animes of All Time

I find the dialogue in Attack on Titan unbearable. It feels like the anime equivalent of a Mexican soap opera, complete with bizarre, over-the-top camera angles whenever characters are shouting dramatic lines.

This melodramatic feel extends to the characters themselves. The characters are dull and border on being mere archetypes. The way their defining traits are presented is often heavy-handed and childish. For example, the constant emphasis on Armin being "the smart one" feels completely inorganic and forced. This makes me wonder if the author truly understands how smart or competent people act and ...
