Story-9/10
Attack on Titan's story had a powerful amount of suspense that kept me interested the whole time. The story has one reoccurring theme, does everything look like it's going to work out? Well, give it a second, something will happen to turn everything to shit. This repeats over and over throughout the story, and the show even ends on one of these (don't worry, I won't say what happens). This seems boring, but it really kept me interested in what was going on. The only complaint that I have about the story, which could very well be answered in the next season, what happened to the colossal and armor titans? Are they also humans with titan changing abilities? It seems like the show forgets they exist, especially after the female titan is introduced.
Art-10/10
The animation for Attack on Titan is incredibly well done. The use of dark colors really set the mood for the story. The characters are well designed, but let's take a second to talk about the titans designs. I don't think I've ever been so horrified by derp faces before The titans, surprisingly, are some of this shows best work. However, there is one thing I must talk about before we move on, the butter smooth, titan fighting scenes with the 3D movement gear are stunning! I don't know how the animators managed to animate all the objects in the background, while making the character look like he's moving at the speed of light, but damn, that's impressive!
Sound-10/10
This soundtrack has 2 things that I really like, heavy orchestrations, and epic choir moments. This shows soundtrack is depressing when it wants to, and upbeat at others. When it comes to the big decision, sub or dub, I don't think it matters, both are fine. The dub is good, but doesn't really stick out, so it's really just up to your preference on that remark. The opening themes and ending themes need no discussion, you've already heard gurren no yumiya more times than you want to admit, they're very catchy and do a good job of getting you hyped.
Character-8/10
The show has 3 main characters, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin. Each character has there own advantages and disadvantages, and all 3 stick with each other throughout the series. The other characters, well, they're kind of bland, they don't have much to them beside little gags here and there. Levi is short and badass, but you don't learn any more about him other than he was part of a gang. I guess it's OK that we don't learn much, because, well, most of them end up dead by the end anyway. That's really my only problem with the characters.
Enjoyment-10/10
I loved watching this show, it was an absolute blast to watch. The entire time, I was interested, and I rarely saw myself checking how much time was left on episode. Season 2 couldn't come quicker.
Overall-9/10
If you haven't already, go watch this show! You can stream it pretty much everywhere, and it's well worth your time!
