Okay after gathering my thoughts, here is my Final, SPOILER - FREE Review of Attack on Titan. Before I begin I wanna mention that its extremly hard for me to write this as English is not my first language and I have so many things to say that it feels kinda overwhelming at Times, which is why Im gonna try and keep this Review as Short as I can, so I dont get burned out. Where do I even begin. I was never into anime before. I'd even admit that I WAS sort of hating on the Genre because I genuiely couldnt believe, people compared these Shows to some of TV's all time greats. A few months later I came across a show called "Attack on Titan". Ive heard of it before (obviously) but it never really caught my attention. Back in March 2023 it was different. Ive looked the Show up and looked at some imdb ratings, which were to my surprise unbelievably high. On the 16th April 2023 I said fuck it. I found a Website where I could watch the Show and once I started it, I could never stop watching. Now, around 6 months later, the Series has finally concluded and I can comfortably say that Attack on Titan is without a doubt in my mind one of the greatest Storys to ever be told and will always remain as one of the most immersive Experiences that Ive ever encountered on Television. Even tho this Show shines with its incredible Action, music, Animation and Voice Acting, my favourite Aspect of Attack on Titan goes way deeper. While being endlessly entertaining and thrilling to watch, this Show is also one of the most complex and thought provoking Series in TV. I have never, ever in my life seen a Show that offers this amount Depth to its Story or Plot. I personally believe that being invested into Attack on Titans Plot and Characters is one of the greatest Experiences you can have with a TV Show. Watching this Show (mostly) unspoiled made me question my life at Times. I found myself sitting in my room, watching hours of Videos and looking up things to understand this enormous Piece of Fiction and its World. No Other Show has ever made me this invested in its Story. Next to the Story, this Show also exceeds in most of its Characters. Eren Yeager is easily one of my Favourite Protagonist in Television and is one the most thematically investing Characters Ive ever encountered. The Side cast, while being not perfect and kinda overextended at Times, also offers some of my favourite side Characters ever. Erwin and Levi will always stay in my mind as some of the best side Characters in Anime. But the Show doesnt stop here. Both Reiner and Zeke are outstanding Antagonists. Its really rare for a Show to exceed in every type of Character Category. A lot of Shows have amazing Protagonists and deuteragonists but Fall short in its antagonists. This Show doesnt. Not gonna get into it but Im just gonna mention that Attack on Titan also has some of the best visual Storytelling, Parallels and Symbolism Ive ever seen. As You can guess by my Rating, this Show (even tho I love it) does not reach that "perfect Show status", like The Leftovers for example. I do have to critizise some parts of this Show, especially in the first two seasons. S1 and s2 of AoT are good seasons but do have some issues imo. Most of the issues come with the incredible amount of overwhelming Action and Plot armour. Also the dialogue is not a strong point of the earlier Seasons imo. It gets WAY better in s3 and s4 but its not perfect there either imo (s3 and s4 are masterpieces tho). My other complaint is that this Show can feel a little overwhelming at Times. I think if you watched AoT you know what I mean. I hope that I have covered most of the things I wanna say (I havent). Attack on Titan will always remain as one the best Experiences in TV for me. While being not 100% perfect IMO, it offers one of the greatest Storys to ever be told and has some of the best Storytelling out there. Its an important Piece of Fiction that Covers complex themes like the Horrors of War and true Freedom like no other Show does and by that, is one of the best Shows on Television. Attack on Titan got me into the World of Anime and Im so thankful for that. Thank You Isayama and everyone who has worked on this gigantic Piece of Art❤️. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RANKINGS/ RATINGS: Top 10 Characters: 10.
