Story:
At first glance, there doesn't seem to be much of a story to Attack on Titan other than killing Titans. But as I watched further into the series, it was a lot more than that. A whole lot more. It showed what was really went on behind the scenes of the military. The story was also very captivating. It seemed to put you its mouth, chew you and eventually spit you out. I also found the Titans and the theme of isolation (behind the walls) very interesting because on of the branches of the military, the Survey Corps, goes out beyond the walls. And there's something else that could help humanity, but could also brutally destroy it as well. Don't be deceived at the first glance of the premise, because it's a whole lot more than you even think. Hell, I even thought that this was just about fighting these humanoid creatures at first glance. It was so much more than just that. I contained a lot of dialogue which I really liked. It could be really sad and tragic at times. There are also a few comedic scenes with Sasha Braus 'Potato Girl' which I thought was excellent as well.
Art and Sound:
The art was stunning! Everything was really well drawn and the character designs were also very nice. Even the cities and walls looked realistic and I just wanted to go outside as soon as I'd finished this and look at how beautiful nature really is. I also really liked the animation for when the characters would literally fly from rooftop to rooftop at high speed with these really long swords! Wow! It really made me want to try this myself one day. The OSTs were REALLY FREAKING AWESOME. Just freaking awesome. They made you want to go out and kill the Titans it was so good! After I watched the anime, I decided to go out and download BOTH of the openings they were so great.
Character:
I don't think that I have seen such unique characters before because they don't really fit into any set archetypes. We have our determined and very loyal characters. And we also have characters that maybe the viewers could relate to a lot more than others. We also have our 'strange' characters who (really) like to clean and who is scarily obsessed with Titans. We also have our funny characters who really made me laugh sometimes. All our characters have some sort of development or growth. I think that three of them are in my favourite character list.
Enjoyment:
I enjoyed this to the FREAKING max. Hell, I enjoyed so much that I bought it on DVD when it was released. I've been telling my friends to go out and watch this just because I want them to know how awesome this show is! Currently I've been collecting the manga so I can read it soon.
Overall:
10/10. Fangirl review.
