I'm going to compare this to another popular anime, so people who don't click expand will get a good overview of how I see Shingeki. I'm sure some of you will hate me for this, but this feels like a better version of Sword Art Online (the first half, we do not speak of the second half). Hear me out, It has got two semi overpowered, romantic leads fighting these Titans (Bosses) to save the humans trapped there from death. And if they win, everyone can go back out into the world. Yay! I have much higher hopes for Shingeki
...
though, but who knows perhaps the writers are all out to troll us.
The overall plot is great. I'm a sucker for anything medieval / related generic-ish western fantasy. They do a good job of keeping the anime suspenseful throughout.
I have a few problems with parts of the story though. Don't expect this anime's story to surprise you, the story is pretty transparent at some points. This becomes a problem because one of this anime's main driving forces is suspense (this goes hand in hand with apocalypse type things btw). So sometimes this transparency ruins the suspense. Think failed Gandalfs and shit. A certain battle towards the middle also felt really stretched out to me.
Art is good imho, too be honest I don't really give a fuck about the art as long as its not terribad/super inconsistant/i can tell characters apart. Sometimes it kinda bugs be that the characters are drawn so differently from the backgrounds, but that's just their style I guess, and like I said idc.
Sound is good, nothing super awesome, nothing to complain about. It fits well with the anime. It never crossed my mind to downlaod the soundtrack though, which I will do for my favorites. I definitely won't be singing any praises.
Overall I enjoyed this anime a lot. It comes together well, and it's refreshing, enjoyable, and it has feels. Sometimes you just gotta have those feels. My only worry is that they'll do something stoopid when they try to explain the titans, but alas, I digress. Hopefully you have a better idea of this anime, and have decided to watch it. Trust me it's good.
