Decent anime, but I feel it was a little overrated. This anime has been pointed out to be pretty violent & dark, but in reality it's not that bad. There's some scenes, but it's not as gruesome as its made out to be. If you want some really dark and twisted stuff I recommend Elfen Lied or Berserk. The two main reasons I gave this anime a 6/10 is because 1.) the characters were kind of boring (not all of them, characters like Armin who seemed super whiny and pathetic). Because of this I really didn't grow an attachment to any of the characters so i wasn't sad when anyone throughout the show died 2.) I guess the theme wasn't exactly my cup of tea either. It was like they were killing brain damaged giants which is kind of a weird enemy.
I can see where people like this anime at the same time I think it became way more popular and is made out to be way better than it actually is. It seems to happen that way a lot with anime that comes to America. It's always over exaggerated...likely because a lot of the REALLY morbid anime doesn't make it here since the FCC is so strict. Anyway, I should end here before I go off into an irrelevant rant sorry.
