Gigguk (Famous Anime Reviewer) just made a phenomenal video review for the whole animated series thus far
Attack on Titan
| I think it nails most of the praise and criticism the series have received, so I thought it would be nice to share it and see what the myanimelist userbase thinks of it. Since he doesn't make written reviews on the site and prefer to make videos, it would be a shame that such a quality write up like this go unnoticed by the community in here (albeit I bet there are a lot of fans of his in here since he is quite a bit famous overall). *It also made me check out the guidelines to see if it wasn't or not against the rules to make a topic regarding it, so yeah, as long as it encourages discussion regarding the series, this is clean (so please, if you feel like it, leave your own opinion once you finish the video on what you do or do not agree regarding the whole anime adaptation thus far and why, if you may)* As for my own take, I think the shallowness of the initial depth of the show mentioned, as a whole, is justified by its progressively revealing nature, and, as a prologue to something much bigger like what it escalated to be in this season and above, I think it is actually too harshly criticized for taking its time to be formed as a base for bigger elements. Season 1 deserves some more love after Season 3 part 2 in my opinion (after each consecutive season actually). |

| damn why are this anitubers have very long videos lol especially Digibro, ye i watch long videos too but for strictly just about the anime show i do not feel watching but thanks for the share i might change my mind and watch it later |
| One of the few entertaining anitubers , I love his videos . |
| I agree with this vid 100%, i thought season 1 was decent but nothing special,but the show has evolved into one of my favourite shows of all time. |
 |
| I'm not going to watch it but for some reason I find the idea of Gigguk doing anything except talking out of his ass to be absurd |

| I agree with almost everything on the video, but I still belive the decision of not developing the secondary characters on the first season was actually great. I can safely say that any Season 1 wouldn't have reached the level of development of a large group of characters, like we're having now. The only way of doing that would be spending every episode to develop every side character the show creates, and that just would make those arcs completely boring. That's why the first season is mainly about the 3 main characters, and by developing them, the events of those arcs managed to be extremely impactful. But I also belive the show developed a lot of characters from the Survey corps in the second half for example, while developing the political intrigues of the Military police as well. Rewatching Season 1 also make me confirmed that there is always a solid reason why the scenes of Season 1 were powerful and shocking and not because they were violent. So I still don't agree with the statment that Season 1 is sustented by having generic shocking scenes |

| I thought it was very superficial but I liked it nonetheless. |
| I've been waiting for him to praise this series since S3P2 E10 ended. And sure enough he did. S3 (especially part 2) was so phenomenal that it hit almost all the right note for me as a manga reader. This is THE anime adaptation every beloved manga/LN series should have, and I'm glad SnK got what it deserved. |
| I used to like his older videos, but now he is just pandering to lowest-common denominator. I'll pass thanks but no thanks. |
  Never explain, Never retract, Never apologize Just get the thing done And let them howl |
| Yes the video was amazing and I agree with 100% he said. I liked S2 more than S1 and S3 is the pinnacle of modern Anime Entertainment. |
AnimeFeminist said: I used to like his older videos, but now he is just pandering to lowest-common denominator. I'll pass thanks but no thanks. Well, you can't assume that without seeing his arguments for yourself, I must say. His arguments are easy to follow (and packed with humor) and very straight to the point too, and if you watch his older videos, he didn't change much in terms of his more serious analysis, you know exactly what to expect. But yeah, choice is yours to watch it or not, I'm just sharing it for the sake of discussion and appreciation for a well put review. |

| He honestly did a really good job in pointing out the good parts without having to spoil them. |
| That little amv at the end was so good. Wish he could make a full one. |

| ok i have watch the video and ye Gigguk is good with this kind of stuff no wonder he got a lot of subscribers that comparison of real life logic with Naruto though lol of course Attack on Titan is more realistic since it can be considered Hard Fantasy or even Hard Science Fiction stuff in some cases and he miss the opportunity to say "all those deaths and sacrifice just for a fucking beach episode!" (that was actually a meme by a MAL user here that commented on some episode thread) |
| I was expecting 3 major sad and powerful scenes in this adaptation. Erwin's charge, Armin's sacrifice and Serum argue scene. I almost cry in this scene while reading the manga the feel was there. Somehow in this adaptation... not so much, perhaps the main reason here was the lack of proper OST during the scene. My sister and me cried the first time we watch ep 1 when eren's mom got eaten, powerful scene+power ost vogel im kafig was strong enough to make her cry. Also renier & berthold reveal was left me for almost a week. |
| Yea i agree with most points but this video was as superficial as it gets (for comedic purposes i suppose), he never got into Character/Story or Worldbuilding depth and thats one of the bigger problems i still have with SnK, to superficial. |
 |
| I have always prefer the season 2 and 3 over season 1 since the manga. |
