A lot of people hate SnK. Half of them just don't enjoy it, and half of them are just bandwagoning. Personally, I love the show. However, I could understand how somebody might not enjoy it. Here's my breakdown:
Story: 8
I gave the story a 8. I know it falls into the whole post-apocalyptic-future-where-humans-have-to-survive-against-horrible-monsters cliché that's really overdone in TV and movies today, but I really enjoy the setting. The plot is pretty good, with some titan fighting and some internal affairs within the walls. It doesn't pull a Star Wars prequel trilogy with the non-action stuff and make it
...
boring, so that's a plus, and the parts without action and excitement are pretty minimal. The pacing is nice as well.
Art: 9
The visuals are very well drawn. The animation is very crisp, and you can almost feel when the 3D maneuver gear pulls a character somewhere, or when a character cuts the back of a titans neck.
Sound: 10
The show has an epic soundtrack to compliment the action, and 4 amazing themes (2 OPs and 2 ending themes for the recap movies) made by Linked Horizon. Amazing music all around. The sound effects are very nice as well, from movement with the 3D maneuver gear to the sword slices.
Character: 6 (Minor spoilers for the first episode or so)
A few of the characters are well developed, but Eren through most of the series is a pretty unoriginal character. He keeps whining about trying to kill all the titans to avenge his mother and everything. The other characters are pretty interesting, even if they are clichéd six ways from Sunday. Levi is the strong silent type who is a germaphobe, Armin is the weak 3rd wheel always being saved by his friends, Mikasa is the protective older sister, etc.
Enjoyment: 10
The fight scenes are fun as hell to watch, and the other stuff is engaging. You want to know what's happening inside the walls when others are fighting titans.
Overall: 9
Overall, I enjoyed the anime even with its flaws, and can't wait for next season.
