Synopsis

Hundreds of years ago, horrifying creatures which resembled humans appeared. These mindless, towering giants, called Titans, proved to be an existential threat, as they preyed on whatever humans they could find in order to satisfy a seemingly unending appetite. Unable to effectively combat the Titans, mankind was forced to barricade themselves within large walls surrounding what may very well be humanity's last safe haven in the world.

In the present day, life within the walls has finally found peace, since the residents have not dealt with Titans for many years. Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlert are three young children who dream of experiencing all that the world has to offer, having grown up hearing stories of the wonders beyond the walls. But when the state of tranquility is suddenly shattered by the attack of a massive 60-meter Titan, they quickly learn just how cruel the world can be. On that day, Eren makes a promise to himself that he will do whatever it takes to eradicate every single Titan off the face of the Earth, with the hope that one day, humanity will once again be able to live outside the walls without fear.

The series was published in English as Attack on Titan by Kodansha Comics USA from June 19, 2012, to October 19, 2021. The publisher also released the manga as large-size 5-in-1 omnibus editions with the subtitle Colossal Edition, and as 3-in-1 omnibus volumes. Kodansha Comics USA's English release won the 2014 Harvey Award for Best American Edition of Foreign Material. Crunchyroll simulpublished the manga digitally.

It has received several adaptations. Two guidebooks titled Inside and Outside were released on April 9, 2013, and September 9, 2013, respectively. Both feature concept art, character profiles, and interviews. The guidebooks were combined into one and published by Kodansha Comics USA on September 16, 2014. A drama CD created by the anime's staff was included in the January 2014 issue of the magazine. A two-part live-action film directed by Shinji Higuchi was released in Japanese theaters on August 1, 2015, and September 15, 2015, respectively.

This review came almost 4 years after I finished reading it, but the final movie motivated me to write this for the simple sake that, someday in the future, I will most certainly look back at this, in fond memories.

Since starting ani/manga in 2015, you could always tell that AOT was different compared to all the popular/big shows that existed at its time, it never relied on generic tropes, fanservice, or overpowered abilities to deliver its story. Watching and then subsequently reading AOT was undoubtedly a once in a lifetime experience for me, from the amazing plotlines, characters, arcs, and most importantly, how it brought ...

Mixed Feelings

Shingeki no Kyojin is a manga that leaves me somewhat perplexed when attempting to articulate my reading experience. On one hand, it is an action-packed narrative woven with tragedy, providing a gripping tale that, when coupled with the animated adaptation, delivers intense scenes that evoke fervent emotions as our characters valiantly confront, survive, and unfortunately, some meet their demise in the relentless pursuit by the Titans.

However, on the other hand, I find Hajime Isayama to be a writer who might not fully grasp the maturity required to handle such profound themes. Towards the end, I found myself shaking my head at the narrowness of the ...

meh the last chapters leading to the ending sucked, sorry to say it but there was no saving how it seemed he didnt know how to end it. It was as if he forgot the characters personalities, goals, feelings etc and they all became the exact same. Everything before then is a 10/10. Had a lot of potential and could probably have ended in a better way.
I think people will enjoy it but need to not have high expectations, and it's very possible the ending will be a huge disappointment considering how much time will be spent reading.
The artstyle and everything else is awesome, no ...
