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 join the brutal war against the Titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached.

Attack on Titan stands out as one of the most captivating and thought-provoking anime ever created. With its intense plot, memorable characters, and stunning animation, it’s easy to see why it resonates so strongly with audiences, making it a prime candidate for being the best anime for me.

From the very first episode, Attack on Titan hooks you with its unique world-building and high stakes. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, trapped behind massive walls to protect themselves from giant humanoid creatures called Titans. The mystery surrounding these Titans, their origins, and the secrets of the world keeps you constantly engaged. The pacing is perfectly ... balanced, with action-packed sequences and heart-wrenching emotional moments that make you want to watch more and more.

Thats why i think this the best tv show/anime ever created for me.

Mixed Feelings

I liked the storyline. The atmosphere of fear and horror from battles with titanic creatures was conveyed well. But I do not recommend binge-watching. Here, the introduction takes almost 4-7 minutes, which includes a repeat of the events of the previous part and the opening - this is too much and simply not necessary! Each episode contains a few events and a lot of action, so it is difficult to forget what happened in the previous episode. This creates the feeling that the animators intentionally fill the series with filler inserts. Another bad thing about it is the cliffhangers. This is annoying in an anime ... about action. It feels like stumbling on stones.

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.
