The action, the pain of seeing people getting slaughtered, the happiness of that small victory for mankind...
Attack on Titan or Shingeki no Kyojin, Where should I begin?
Well, first of all, I want to compliment Production I.G and Wit Studio for making such an outstanding anime serie. It had the impact of 150 episodes inside just 25 episodes.
Story: 10
The story is really good. It has its ups and downs just like a real war and it shows us a part of the anime world where almost nothing is perfect. This gave me a different impact than any other anime serie. It is a really rough serie to watch espescially the beginning. If someone dies, he/she dies and can not be brought back in some kind of magical way like seeking 8 orange balls or whatever tricks other anime use. It actually shows you the real traumatic experiences right in your face.
The story obviously takes place in a postapocaliptic version of the world that is now in hands of a dumb but too strong species called the titans. I think the whole story takes place in Germany, beacause of the names and artstyle.
Art: 10
Really good art, all scenes were shown from a good point of view. It looks awesome how they go out to fight. The angles you see the fighters from and the expressions of the charactersare just perfect.
Sound: 10
The voice actors were great and realistic. Well done. The openings sound really good and the songs give a good image of what the serie is about. The effect and background music were great too.
Character *Spoiler* : 9
The character development is amazing. When they are done with their heavy training and finally became official Cadets I felt great. It felt so horrible when I saw a lot of these guys almost instantly die beacause humans are just so much weaker than titans, even with such effective gear.
Enjoyment: 9
I really enjoyed watching thisserie fullof action and pain and I hope season 2 will be just as great as season 1, but because ofreasons i gave in ''Character'', I didnt enjoy it 10 out of 10. I actually shouldnt have enjoyed it 10 out of 10, because that would mean i didnt feel anything for the story.
Overal: 10
