What makes Attack on Titan is great for you?

I have several reasons about why i love this series and consider this as "one of a kind material", starting with:

1. Characters, this is the best aspect of Attack on Titan. Some characters like Eren, Erwin, Armin, Levi, Grisha with complex backstories isn't really as special as we think. Even minor characters like Marleyan guards or characters who barely got development succeded to stole our heart. What i'm trying to say is, i just feel that i almost can emphatize every single characters on this series except Gross and Zackley because they're just like living humans(i mean it literally).

2. Story, i found it unique because it's just destroying all the cliches. Shounen battle rule, "haha fuck friendship", characters motive is just new atleast for me. I watched other shows that tried to do this but most of them failed to delivers.

3. Conflict on this story is just fucking dramatic, some of them were literally cheap conflicts but even with the fact that is cheap, it's not even underwhelming. Reiner and Bertholdt reveal, Eren-Reiss family conflict, Eren-Reiner, and upcoming etc.

And brilliantly, it's connected very well. It's fullfilled my own standard of enjoyment which none other anime does. Death Note is maybe the only one that close based on my point but other than that i dont find anything special eventhough they're great.

Thats a great question.

For me, AoT is the best Anime more like the best piece of story I have ever seen, so far.
But let me explain.
I watched AoT im 2018. It was december and I became ill. So I wasn't in school. To this point, I wasnt a weeb or something. I watched Death Note, Overlord and One Punchman, to this point. Them I decided to watch another series and then, on Netflix, I saw AoT. I knew almost nothing about this Anime. I just knew: there are giants who killing people. So I thought it would be lile the walking dead or something.
Ouh was I wrong. xD

The first few episodes Overwhelmed me completly. I began to watch season 1 at 6 pm... the complete season one.

I loved the Setting, it was so horrific, so creepy and sooo god damn exiting. I cant stop watching.

To explain, I am a huge fan of mystery/thriller stuff. Give me a good plot twist and I will love it. And AoT has a ton of fucking amazing Plot twists.

The storytelling at its self is also just amazing. I love storys, which are like a puzzle. A puzzle which make you see the whole picture just at the end. And AoT makes this (imo) perfect.

After watching it for the second time, you can feel the passion Isayama puts in his work, in nearly every scene. Nothing is filler.
For me AoT is the most thoughtout story I have ever seen.

After I watched the second Season I knew, it will become better and better. The mystery got bigger and bigger, and I got even more exited about the reveal. And then, last year, the basement was opened.

I have never seen a Plot twist like this. A plot twist, that changed everthing. This twist is the definitiom of Mindblow. xD

But not only the story of AoT is just amazing. The characters too. I know, many people think the Chars are pretty one dimensional in season one, and I can respect that. But I think, the characters are good since season 1. They acting lime humans. They aren't the typical shounen good guys. Eren is the anger, about his lost, Mikasa don't want to lose her family again. And armin is the fear. Those are normal human reactions. Thats because the story became so "realistic" for me. I never was this scared like in watching AoT. The first time Eren and the others go behind the wall, it was the scariest thing I have ever seen in a series.

Yeah, and know, Eren is one of the best characters I have ever seen. His developement is just amazing.

The story and the characters are the most important things for me. And in every point AoT, is the best, imo.

But also things that I just love about AoT:
The music, the atmosphere, every single plot twist, the setting, the worldbuilding, the dramatic of the story, its a unique story. Yes I just love everything about AoT.

There are few little things, which can be better. But other are this amazing, that the "problem" dont interests me.

For me, AoT is just a Masterpiece, which gets better and better. And I freaking love it. xD

Thanks for reading ^^

Attack on Titan was great until finale manga arc. Everything goes downhill from there.

I’ve always wondered, why does everyone go on about the story so much? I know that there’s a lot of twists, but there’s also a lot of predictable stuff, so I’m curious what it is that people love about the story?

Just look at lobov, that guy gabi killed to get to the bimp. Lobov in all the 4 seasons had less than 5 min screen time however he had an insane character development off screen. That guy was a high ranking commander in the Garrison which decided to join the corps after S3part2 to be in the front lines even though the mortality of the corps back then was insane, he was already old and he would loose his position by starting all over again.

That guy stayed behind to protect the airship in its retreat all by himself since he wanted to show everyone that even if he is old he is still useful. It was clearly a mistake but I can't really blame him for it. Sadly since he was in the Garrison he didn't have any experience in the front lines figthing other humans that is why he hesitated to shoot gaby and was killed.

I just found how much deep this caracter was for a guy which basically was fodder. This fodder character had more character development than most secondary character from all the shounen and seinen animes I saw which is amazing by looking how little screen time he had.

Rip lobov.
