Honestly - Attack on Titan deserves its hype! Those who say it's overrated (I used to think so, too, but then I actually watched it...) either need to watch past the first episode or just don't have the same taste. Despite images you may have seen, this story is not only about violence and gore; it is about sacrificing yourself, fighting for your dreams, and finding the sometimes blurred line between man and monster.
In every area of the show you can see there is pure passion and deep thought put into it. You will easily get sucked into it's amazing, beautiful, and horrifying world with its stunning visuals, lifelike characters, and intense soundtrack. Not to mention the dub is superb. The only reason I gave only a 9 for story rather than a 10 is because we need season 2.
