Written and illustrated by the man we all know as Hajime Isayama, Attack on Titan is drama, action anime, some would say it's like the Game of Thrones of anime. In the series humanity has been pushed to living inside the walls of a city-state area by the force of these humongous sized creatures or more commonly know as titans. Though until now the walls have protected the humans but when out of nowhere a colossal titan appears and breaks down the wall, shit hits the fan. Now it's time for the men and women of the military(including protagonist Eren Yeager) to fend off and hopefully destroy the attacking force that is the titans.
Attack on Titan is know to be a more fast paced anime blowing through many of the manga's chapters in the first season which is really nice. Another thing driving the anime forward is the easy to understand, smooth action scenes and art style. You could say this is one of the few anime's that is better than the manga, one of the reasons that I believe this is because if you read the manga instead of watching the series you will miss the epic sound track, voice acting, awesome gore, drama and over the top personalities.
Though the series is supposed to be one of the best and most popular it still does make mistakes here and there. To be perfectly honest they are not important but are still there. Firstly just like Tokyo Ghoul the first episode is important to the story but the beginning of the episode is still slightly underwhelming to some. Another small error is when watching the series in English dub quite a lot of script is changed/lost in translation, but who watches dubbed anyway? Thirdly since there was barely any filler and straight important information and action in the first season the second season will have to slow down considerably which would add a lot of filler to it which would make it less popular than the first season. Very underwhelming.
To be honest Attack on Titan or Shingeki no Kyojin is definitely in my top ten anime ever(Not including manga) The series has a great soundtrack, a lack of filler episodes, a great and compelling story with some of the best visuals you have seen in years. The series does have some downsides but not many the most important will affect the next season making it irrelevant for this one. Overall there's not many bad things you can say about Shingeki no Kyojin without first pointing out all of the positives. If you wanna get into anime or are into anime and haven't seen this series yet. Go watch it! And if you've already seen it. Go watch it again!
