Attack on Titan

Hello anime lovers, today I am going to review one of the most famous anime. It's named Attack on Titan. The only thing that came to my mind when I saw the name was that it must be about humans attacking Titans. This is my first time watching this anime, but I've watched a few short clips on YouTube, and they were really good. I have always been curious about this anime and wanted to watch it for a long time. I have watched only season 1, and I'll be reviewing season 1 today.

Well, this trailer is 12 years old, but the animation looks so cool from that time. In today's world, we see many developed graphics, and the animations are better, but Attack on Titan had really good graphics in the past, and I did not feel like I was watching an old video; it felt like it was from today's time because it looks so good. I could not get the story by watching the trailer alone, but one thing I knew was that the fighting scenes were going to be awesome.

The story begins with a 10-year-old kid whose name is Eren. His childhood friend Mikasa always sticks with him. In the past, humans were being exterminated by some giant creatures called Titans. These Titans are tall and seem to have no intelligence. They only know how to devour human beings, and they do this not because of their hunger but also for their pleasure; they always seem to enjoy tormenting humans. In this situation, only a small percentage of humanity survived because of the high walls that were taller than the big Titans. In the present time, mankind has not seen any Titans in over 100 years, but one day, Eren and his friend Mikasa saw something horrific: the city walls were being destroyed by a colossal Titan that appeared out of nowhere. As the wall was broken, small Titans started to enter the city and devoured many humans, and one Titan ate Eren's mother in front of him. Now, Eren is vengeful and vows that he will eliminate every single Titan for mankind.

One thing I liked about this anime is that every episode leaves you with a sense of tension; I always felt curious about what would happen next. This anime is complete, so I am glad about it because I have zero patience in these cases. My honest opinion is that I have seen only a few anime with this type of hype; I don't find this overhyped. This anime truly has the charm to capture the audience's attention. It's more than fascinating; the story is well written, and the opening song is really great; I could not skip a bit of it. Everything about this anime is so well done. Also, the animation is really great; I cannot praise it enough. It would be an injustice if I did not watch this anime in my entire life because I would regret not watching this kind of masterpiece. I liked the character development in each character; the story is not only about the main protagonist; the other characters played important roles. There are a few scenes where I found myself emotional, sometimes angry, and sometimes fearful. As it is a roller coaster ride, I felt everything for real; the story is so good.

The fighting scenes are amazing! I have enjoyed the fights with tension because I could not imagine the outcomes, as there's nothing predictable in this anime. Every time I thought of something, they proved me wrong; they have different twists that I could never think of. Fighting a Titan is something I could never imagine doing, and in they story, they show their bravery to fight off a titan.

Thanks for reading 🌷
