Shingeki no Kyojin

Centuries ago, mankind was slaughtered to near extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called Titans, forcing humans to hide in fear behind enormous concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born out of hunger but what appears to be out of pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began living within defensive barriers, resulting in one hundred years without a single titan encounter. However, that fragile calm is soon shattered when a colossal Titan manages to breach the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the fight for survival against the man-eating abominations.

After witnessing a horrific personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to their eradication by enlisting into the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that combats the merciless humanoids outside the protection of the walls. Eren, his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman, and his childhood friend Armin Arlert the brutal war against the Titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin. From the very first episode, you're thrown into a world so dark, so intense, and yet so beautifully built that it grabs you by the heart and never lets go. The animation? SO AMAZING. Especially in the later seasons – the battles, the Titans, the transformations – it’s just next-level epic! MAPPA and Wit Studio really outdid themselves!

And don’t even get me started on the storyline. At first, it feels like a typical survival anime, but then—BOOM! Plot twists start flying at you like thunder spears. What starts as a battle against Titans turns into a deep, ... emotional, political, and philosophical masterpiece. I was literally left speechless SO many times. Like... how does one anime manage to be this smart and still so full of action?

Eren Yeager’s character arc? INSANE. One moment you’re cheering for him, the next you’re questioning everything, and then you're crying your heart out. And Levi?? That man is the definition of a living legend. So cool, so calm, and absolutely unstoppable in a fight. And Mikasa—wow. Her loyalty, strength, and quiet love for Eren made me tear up more than once.

What hit me hardest was how the show makes you feel everything—the fear, the hope, the betrayal, the love, the loss. I cried, I screamed, I clapped, I even stared blankly at the screen in complete shock.

By the time I reached the final episodes, I was emotionally destroyed in the best way possible. The ending? Bittersweet, painful, beautiful. It left me staring at the ceiling, trying to process everything. It wasn't just an anime—it was an experience, a journey that changed the way I see the world and war and freedom.

Final verdict: 1000000/10. A masterpiece.
If you haven't seen it yet… WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE??

Mixed Feelings

After finishing the series, here's my review for it as a whole:
The whole story, world, and characters are all pretty much top-notch, but the closer to the end the show gets the more it get's lost in its own sauce. The first 2 or 3 seasons are some of the best the show ever was, but I really didn't care for the majority of the show after that.

Without getting into spoilers, I don't think it's a must-see show or anything, but the first few season are definitely worth a watch. Honestly, unless you're a die hard fan, you could probably just stop watching after season ... 3 and not bother with the rest of the show.

I will not go into great detail as to why I despise this show. Eventually, I will make a YouTube video and go into great detail, but to summarize, the pacing is way too fast, the characters have no characteristics, and they are all miserable all the time. There is nothing worse than a cast that I don't don't care about. The show quickly establishes that the side characters have no worth. It doesn't dedicate any time to their development. It doesn't make you want to relate to them because the show has absolutely no downtime. The characters can't take 2 seconds to just chill ... and have some fun because the show is just plot plot plot plot. Nothing matters except the plot and the main character. Everything else just serves to traumatize him, and make the big reveals in this show seem really dramatic, when with the exception of a few of them, they are all easy to spot.

So the characters are terrible and it gives the audience no reason to care about them. Problem with a show with terrible characters is that nothing else matters.

The plot is interesting, the premise is enthralling, and the first couple episodes are spectacular, if the characters we even mildly interesting.

I thought I would never say this, but this show is in desperate need of a beach episode or something. Make me care about the characters. How do you do that? Show them having fun for a single time in the entire show.

And that really is the thing. This show wants you to feel miserable. The only emotions you ever have watching this show are sadness, anger, gratification, and vindictiveness. If you manage to carr for the characters, then maybe you would feel relief and excitement.

But was joy mentioned there? No. Because you will never have just some simple joy watching this show.

If you want to watch a show that balences the plot with the characters, one that makes you care and keeps you invested, one that is almost as dark and depressing as Attack on Titan, but that has some light, joyful moments sprinkles in between, just watch "86". It's phenomenal, and everything Attack on Titan should have been if it had good writers.
