The last source of humans have gathered together and created a barrier to protect themselves from the enormous man-eating giants they call titans. Three walls were built; all had names: Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina-Wall Maria being the outermost. A hundred years pass until Wall Maria is kicked down by the biggest titan they have ever seen, giving numerous titans to enter the city. The main characters, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin have to decide whether they want to fight for the sake of the lives lost or sit on the sidelines and watch their people get eaten!
The art is flat out outstanding. It is more up to date in technology wise. HD, I believe, made the story come alive. The detailed drawings blew me away!
The sound was incredibly harmonious, magnificent, and in-sync with the whole episode. Even the opening got me all pumped up and excited to watch the episode. The song choice was absolutely brilliant and I have no doubt about it.
The characters all symbolize something important that ties the whole story together. In order to realize their characteristics, you must understand the moral decisions the characters had to make in order to maintain their trait. You will see obvious traits in the main characters such as perseverance, faith, determination, integrity, and fear [in death]. Some traits will come to a shock to most people, especially me. Other characters will make you pull your hair out and scream why, why they did what they did. The main characters endure a plethora of catharsis, which might make you go through the same feelings the character has. The characters were created fairly well, according to what I have analyzed.
Words cannot describe how much I have enjoyed this anime. So far, this anime has made me think about moral decisions and think about what I would've done if I were in the main character(s) position. I've begun to think about the reality of possible things that could occur in this world, but of course, we all know that humongous man-eating giants will not attack out planet (or will they...?)
Overall, like I said before, I cannot emphasize how I highly recommend this. The series has already ended, so this gives you the advantage to slide your way through the whole series, but I warn you: you will cry, wishing there was a lot more. The story continues on the manga and believe me, you will be yanking your hair out of your head, hanging on the edge of a cliff with just your finger, holding on as much as you possibly can because the story is just that amazing, Watch the anime, read the manga, or do the other way around. either way, it is a fantastic story that ties together everything an anime should be about. If you like suspense, adventure, cliff-hangers, mystery, and romance, watch this anime. It's great for the mind and heart because there are events and scenes that touch your heart and make you want to become a more stronger person.
