PLOT: The plot of Attack on Titan is a very simple one: Titans have taken over
everywhere except for a single location inside three walls, each of which has
its own section and name. The simplest part of the plot is that the titans have
to be defeated so the humans can win. But then, is there something deeper
involved here? The series continuously hints at something mysterious which is
still unknown to us.
CHARACTER DESIGN: The characters have a nice physical design which
is unique, with dark lines emphasized at the edges of the character designs,
which is actually quite pleasing. Their personalities too all differ from one
another which is absolutely amazing. A great example of this is that the main
character wants to destroy all the titans while another character that you meet
in later episodes wants the simple life of staying in the safest part of the human
area. To me, this is brilliant with the amount that they actually differ from one
another.
ANIMATION: The style of this anime’s animation is really dark but it’s so
insanely brilliant that I love it. It runs generally smooth, and the animation
seems very fluid.
OTHER NOTES: Dark though this is, it still has plenty of comical
moments. I’m not going to give any of them away though so you
should go watch it for yourselves.
PERSONAL RATING: I would have to give this a solid 8.64
purely for the amazing graphics and music if nothing else. The storyline
being so basic made it lose a few points but this is my opinion so don’t
send me any hate mail.
