If you're looking for an intensive car race throughout series, this series might NOT suit for you (At least for last race has really good intensity).
But, if you're looking for how the characters solved their own problem and ego. It's a really good deal to watch then.

The main focus of this series is on their drama (It was obvious 'cuz the genre is Drama not SPORTS). Why I emphasized that point though (?) Well, it's because some people thought this series would focus on the race and guessed whose would win the next race. However, this is all about the interaction of each character who ... supports each other and ultimately changes their perspective to solve their problems. The F4 race only for a complement to brought the story more interesting.


Story (3/5)
└ "Interested story". Honestly, at first I wasn't hooked on the story. All because, it's just a common reason to bring up the story. 'Win a single race for entire his life'. But, I had altered my outlook and concentrated on how they brought the drama in this series.

Animated (4/5)
└ "Caught My Eye. Means, most of the scenes have a fluidness above average". Aside of how CGI works and people complaining about it.. I kind of like the atmosphere they brought in every episode, how the characters depressed, happy, or anxious had delivered to me well. It's like I'm the one who involve their emotions.

Chara Development (5/5)
└ "They have great backstories and are developed so well". Yeah! This is the reason why I put on recommended reviews. The interactions between our main characters is to complement each other. Not only supported their each goal, but changed their perspective on how face their ego.

World Building (5/5)
└ "Built perfectly and conveyed to me well according to their genres and themes". Even so, this series doesn't seem to have a strong identity regarding what exactly they are focusing on. But trust me, this is a good deal to watch into if you were focusing on drama aspect.

Song & Sfx (3/5)
└ "Skip Op and End, but still appreciate their Sfx". This is subjective opinion from me, so pardon. I do like how Opening song describes and built up the impression of this series would look like, but not for the Ending song. For the sound effects, I'd say "It's alright", not impressed me. Especially, the sound engine which is the main aspects of race scenes. But, for after all, great Sfx throughout series though.

I'd say thanks for reading my reviews and happy watching from SBK ^-^

If you have just finished the series, then you're seeking for what happens next after the last episode. Then you should watch this movie.
If you are just wondering about a new movie you should watch, this doesn't quite fit if you haven't watched the series yet.

Even though this movie is full of recaps from the series, they just added some minor new details between scenes (interview scenes). However, it wasn't particular to compare to the original scenes from the series and there seems less information, yet at the end of this movie is the part you're looking for. I'm still on 'Mix ... feelings' towards this movie, because of how they preserved the original scenes for 1 hour and 45 minutes straight, then the main part only the rest of it. Aside from that, I really enjoyed the story of Odd Taxi. Really odd taxi driver...

Based on my 5 main aspects (1-5 Points)
Story (5)
└ I over enjoyed the conflict in the story.
Animated (5)
└ Splendid. Means, nothing to complain about and pampering my eyes.
Chara Development (5)
└ They have great backstories and are developed so well.
World Building (5)
└ Built perfectly and conveyed to me well according to their genres and themes.
Song & Sfx (4)
... └ I like the way Sfx works out throughout the series, yet not their Op and End songs.

This series was the one series I have followed since I was a teenager. I liked the way the story was gore and full of struggles against titans, yet I wasn't considering the story or back story back then.
BUT, this series finally ended up just like the way it was supposed to be (in the animated). The back story from the origin of the Titans' form, the hatred, the plot twisted, also how Eren's "Freedom" represents to all of his friends was delivered very well to me. I loved some of the little details I missed out back then and it made me more and more appreciate anyone whose worked throughout this series. Of course, the Mangka himself, Hajime Isayama, was the one who faced all of the critics, because the ending wasn't fit for most fans out there (and Hajime said it too).
All and all, thanks to everyone who is responsible for this series being animated. I really enjoyed the 10-year journey with Eren, Armin, and of course, Mikasa.
