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 Season 1 is an adrenaline-fueled spectacle that hooks viewers from the very first episode. With its high-stakes action, emotional storytelling, and stunning animation, it sets the foundation for one of the greatest anime of all time.

The story wastes no time in establishing its brutal world, where humanity is on the brink of extinction due to monstrous Titans. The pacing is intense, with thrilling battles and shocking twists that keep you on edge. The mystery surrounding the Titans adds an extra layer of intrigue, making every episode feel crucial.

Eren Yeager’s journey from a vengeful recruit to a determined soldier is compelling, and he’s ... supported by a strong cast—Mikasa’s quiet strength, Armin’s intelligence, and Levi’s unmatched combat skills all contribute to the series’ emotional depth. The show doesn’t shy away from loss, making every battle feel significant.

Wit Studio’s animation is breathtaking, especially in the fluid ODM gear sequences that bring the fights to life. Hiroyuki Sawano’s soundtrack, with tracks like Vogel im Käfig and Guren no Yumiya, perfectly captures the intensity and despair of this world.

Overall, Attack on Titan Season 1 is a near-perfect blend of action, emotion, and mystery. It’s an unforgettable introduction to a series that only gets better.

Mixed Feelings

After finishing the series, here's my review for it as a whole:
The whole story, world, and characters are all pretty much top-notch, but the closer to the end the show gets the more it get's lost in its own sauce. The first 2 or 3 seasons are some of the best the show ever was, but I really didn't care for the majority of the show after that.

Without getting into spoilers, I don't think it's a must-see show or anything, but the first few season are definitely worth a watch. Honestly, unless you're a die hard fan, you could probably just stop watching after season ... 3 and not bother with the rest of the show.

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.
