Storyline:
Unless you're new to Anime, you probably know the deal with Attack On Titan.
Bunch of crazy giant naked human-looking creatures try to eat humans for no apparent reason.
(Next thing copied from Wikipedia to explain little bit about the show)
One hundred years prior to the beginning of the story, giant humanoid creatures called Titans (巨人 Kyojin?) have forced humanity to retreat into a system of concentric walls known as Wall Maria (ウォール・マリア Wōru Maria?, outermost), Wall Rosé (ウォール・ローゼ Wōru Rōze?, middle), and Wall Sina (ウォール・シーナ Wōru Shīna?, innermost). Inside these walls, humanity lived in peace for one hundred years, but a sudden attack by
...
a gigantic sixty-meter Titan and a smaller Titan covered in armor plates caused the outermost wall to be breached, forcing mankind to abandon the land between Wall Maria and Wall Rosé, resulting in turmoil and famine.
To me, the story is very original and cool. It's so unique, technology, weapons, setting, titans, everything.
Every episode leaves you wanting something more. There's a lot of action so that's always a plus.
But one thing that really bothers me in the storytelling of SnK (Shingeki No Kyojin in case you didn't understand) are the fillers. There's so much un-needed bullcrap and you can clearly see that they just put'd it there so they'd have the planned amount of episodes and such.
Fillers aren't neccessarily a bad thing, there are good filler moments but also many boring ones.
Art:
Artstyle in SnK is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and animation in action scenes is AMAZING, there hasn't been a anime in along time which had as cool animations as in SnK. When they fly with their maneuver gears, killing titans. It's so hype.
BUT, there are times animation gets clumsy and you can see they had some major problems with it at times. But if i remember correctly they actually talked about the problems they had with animators, not sure though.
Sound: What's there to say. It's PERFECT. I rarely say anything's perfect but it is. When battle starts with some crazy music, you get so pumped.
I never skipped openings and second ending song. The music in anime is a big deal to me because when you have music, it always brings more feelings to the show. And is the music forgettable like in some anime? I guess it's clear by now.. NO. I don't know what else i can say. EPIC and PERFECT. They should get awards just for the music, it's that good.
Characters:
SnK characters are very interesting but it's a shame we mostly see only maincast.
We see sidecharacters interact now and then but not a lot which is a shame. Since there's so many interesting characters except the main cast, like Sasha and Conny, or Berthold who we see talking for like 1 minute in the whole show.
I'm quite sure everyone wanted more from our Potato Girl (Sasha).
But don't get me wrong, main characters are okay too. Although, don't hate me for this but i dislike Mikasa (main female protagonist). She's all about the main protagonist Eren, she doesn't care about else than him. But it's understandble since (SPOILERS) Eren saved her as kid. But it DOES get annoying at times when she says "EREN" 10 times per episode.
Enjoyment:
I had a blast watching SnK.
It was such an feeling filled and epic adventure and i'd definently watch the series again.
This was my poopy review again, hope this helps someone.
I'm out.
