This is my first review so it may not be the best, but even if I have only convinced one person to watch this amazing anime then I have done my job.
This anime was completely different than what I thought it would be. Reading about the anime and reading different peoples reviews about how some people loved it and some people thought it was overrated, I was wasnt sure if id like it. Boy was I wrong. Not only will this be forever in my top 5 anime of all time, I think this is the fastest ive ever gone through an anime.
Story: 10
Attack on
...
Titan is set in a world where 100 years ago civilization was attacked out of nowhere by these huge beasts called titans, nearly wiping out all of civilization. What remains of the people that survive live inside of three walls that protect them from the titans. For 100 years they lived in peace from the titans, untill one a giant titan breaks through the walls and nobodies life is the same (including mine!!). One of the main reasons I kept wanting to watch this anime was to see what would happen next in the story. With every finished just left one more mystery that I had to figure out. Each episode ends on a cliff hanger than keeps you glued to your seat, bed, couch, whatever you choose to watch your anime on. This story is so unlike any anime ive ever watched and I loved it.
Art: 9
The art in this, personally, has its ups and downs. Some of the coloring of the facial expressions and the way they are shadowd is a little unrefined in this anime but at the same time that unrefinedness helps nail the stress and anxiety in each characters face.
Sound: 8
The music that was played with this anime went right along with every change of mood and scene. I don't usually pay attention to much to the sound but the sound effects and the music that played when something bad would happend was chilling and went great with the scenes.
Character: 9
The characters and the story are what make this anime stand out. From the very begining when you meet the first character you feel for their situation that they are put in and you instantly become attached to them. Not only the main characters but I found myself rooting even for the not so main characters. I also like how alot of the characters even though they are not main characters get alot of screen time and that gives you a chance to really start to become attached to these characters. One of the struggles that characters face in this anime is over coming their fears to do what is right One more big thing which ive always really liked is that not every character is invincible. When you watch shows like naruto or bleach or even one piece it seems like no one can loose and everyone is invincible, but with Attack on Titan that is not so. To keep from spoiling I will leave it at that.
Enjoyment: 10
This show doesn't have to have huge jutsus or an amaizing sword and bankai to keep you interested. What this anime lacks in huge mind blowing powers it makes up for in its suprisingly simple action scenes that you keep you captivated.
Overall:
This is one of my favorite anime of all time and will continue to be for a long time. This is the first anime I have watched that has made me scream, shout for joy, and laugh out loud in the same series. I highly recomend this series.
