Story: 8/10
I like how it's about titans, or giants, which I don't see a lot in anime. That by itself was interesting enough, but then there's the group that fights against the titans. The technology they use seems really advanced, considering the year the story is set in (800's). And then you see the main character's father telling him something in his dreams and it gives it a really mysterious feeling, which also adds to the excitement and makes you want to watch more.
Art: 9/10
The art is more realistic than most anime, but not even close to real life. It has a lot of dimension and detail, especially the backgrounds. It's cool to watch all the soldiers jump through the houses with special gear because it's really good quality for the art. The only down side is that the characters are really thickly outlined, which kind of makes it look weird. I think someone mentioned this in a different review.
Sound: 10/10
There aren't really any problems with the sound. The character voices fit well and nothing else is wrong. No complaints.
Character: 9/10
The characters are each individually unique, and they fulfill their purpose. There are some parts that are like a typical ordinary-kid-turns-into-hero anime but also some unexpected things the characters do. I don't really have anything to say about this section, but no complaints either.
Enjoyment: 9/10
I have to give this section a 9 because of my own personal problems, because I'm not good with anything creepy or has parts with really defined killing, so I admit while I was watching I was curled up in a ball hugging a pillow getting goosebumps when I saw an arm drop from a giant's mouth. But even then, I still think this is one of the most exciting anime I've ever seen. It thoroughly shows each character's past, which then transforms into their reason for fighting, and I just wanted to see what would happen amidst all the excitement.
Overall: 9/10
It's a really interesting anime that will surely keep you hanging on the edge of your seat.
