One of The Greatest Attack on Titan is the most intricate and well-crafted piece I have ever come across. Its first season serves as a blueprint for creating a complex, meticulously planned series. Attack on Titan is a masterpiece that takes you on an emotional roller-coaster. From the thrilling plot twists to the intricately crafted characters. It'll have you on the edge of your seat from the very first episode. Set in a world where mankind is locked inside walls to protect themselves from towering human-eating giants, the colossal walls that serve as humanity's last line of defense against the Titans are a constant reminder of how precarious their existence is. The visual depictions of these towering giants - with their grotesque facial features and eerie movements - add to the dark and suspenseful atmosphere of the series, drawing you into its world.
As the narrative progresses, the secrets of the Titans' origins and the world's true nature begin to reveal themselves, creating an atmosphere of intrigue that leaves viewers wanting more. Careful pacing ensures that each plot point is well-executed, allowing the story to gradually unfold toward an explosive conclusion. Animation and visual design Attack on Titan is a delight to behold. The animation captures the characters' movements perfectly, especially during those heart-stopping vertical battles. From the city within the walls to the lush forest outside to the eerie scenes of the Titan encounters, everything is beautifully animated.
The characters are a big part of what makes it so great. They all feel super real, even the minor ones who don't stick around long. But Eren? He's probably my favorite protagonist ever. No, - he's my favorite character, period. There's something about his journey, his determination, and how he evolves that just resonates with me. Alongside Eren, his childhood friend Mikasa and Armin bring warmth and companionship to the table. Attack on Titan's character development is one of the show's strengths. Of course other than that trio, you have Zeke, Reiner, Annie , Levi, Erwin.. I could go on and on. They each have their place in the show and they perfect the role. Fantastic characters to commend a fantastic show.
The ending of Attack on Titan is perfect because of humanity's imperfections. Humans are complicated and conflicted. There is either simply no reason or explanation as to why people do the things they do. How do you get over the ending of the show you love the most? You don't. The loneliness and emptiness swell up within you, and you find yourself wondering how you will fill the hole that this show left you with. The answer, however, is to keep moving forward.
