Story: FINALLY! A story I can sum up! Massive, carnivorous, UGLY mofos called Titans wish to feed on the human colony, protected by three walls (which, on a side note, is what the wacko religious group worships). The first wall is taken and the second is taken and liberated throughout the series, the third protecting the central city. The humans devise a corp called Recon Corp to protect themselves, with technology called 3D manoeuvre gear. That's the general gist. 9
Art: Love it. Western taste which is probably why I think the anime appeals to a Western audience. But I literally can't urge it enough - I even appreciated it more than some Studio Ghibli work and, from me, that's saying something. 10
Sound: Unfortunately outshined by every other aspect, but still top notch. Have the opening on my phone I enjoyed it that much (Opening 1 at least) and while the battle and 'emotional scene' music repeat, it never feels repeatative. Solid 8
Characters: The cast is much too vast (hey, I'm a poet!) to do bios n all, but these are the main characters. Eren: Main character. Follow his journey through the Recon Corp process and the Titan liberation.
Bit Shinji-wingy from Neon Genesis. Still likeable. Armin: Eren's friend. Again, bit Shinji-wingey, possibly more so than Eren. Solid member of the Recon Corp though.
Mikasa: Adopted sister of Eren's family. Will do anything to protect Eren. Very supportive of him. Good, strong female character.
Cpt Levi: Has to protect Eren later on in the story, and is leader of Erens squad. One of my favourites.
Commander Erwin: Simple really, Commander of Erens Recon division.
Hange Zoë: Scientist who researches captured Titans. 9
I've pretty much give my overview at the start, but the hype certainly lives up and is one of the best shows I've watched. As stated, one of the most eoic periods of my life, and one of the best uses of 500 mins. Fantastic, solid show. 9
