I wasn't going to write a review, but all this critics that arose are simply stupids, so I want to do a review of how great is Shingeki no Kyojin to me.
First of all, I don't speak native english so sorry if I type someting wrong.
Shingeki no Kyojin has one of the best narratives of all time, it literally break my mind over and over with the time, Isayama is really a GENIUS. It seems that he planned everything from the beginning, really is incredible how things connect with time, and I am very excited for see how will be his next work.
The story stars like a typical shonen story, but then it climbs to unimaginable places, even many people thought that SnK were a seinen, beacuse for the dark tones of the story and all the cruelty and reality that the world and the characters show, and thats were a problem, people:
What do you expect about the final? really? Most of you say that the final was shit only because it ends with a happy ending xdd rly?? THIS IS A SHONEN, and for a shonen standars, the final was EXCELLENT. Look at the end of Naruto, Dragon Ball, Bleach, and many etc... you really think that those finals were better that SnK? NO, clearly NO, but Shingeki has one of the best storys of all time, so you expected a super dark ending full of philosophy or something like that. And likewise, the ending was TRAGICAL, 80% of humanity died, our protagonist died without being able to be with the love of his life, did it really seem like a happy ending? Please be happier in your life if you have such low standards.
Now this part is the BEST of all Shingeki no Kyojin, Reiner Braun is one of the best characters in the history of fiction, really, I am still amazed by all his evolution, all his personality, all the actions he has to take and the tragic journey that he has to go through. We also have the GOAT: Armin Arlert. My God, Armin is really an incredible character, another who has an impressive evolution, you become very fond of him as time passes, his intelligence saves the day many times, but before a great strategist, he is a great human being, and Before acting always choose the option that saves more lives, and does not look like the typical shonen hero, you really believe his whole character, I love Armin, and his duality with Eren is one of the best relationships I have seen.
The rest of the characters are great too. Levi will be remembered as one of the most badass characters of all, his whole story really fascinates me, he went through many things and knew how to move forward and save the world. Mikasa is a very controversial character, so I understand that there are mixed opinions about her, in my opinion she fulfills her role in the story well. Jean is the most human of all, he is a normal person among practically gods, and that makes him great. Hange and Erwin are incredible, Connie is endearing, and well, I could go on with each one of them but I'm dont want to overextend.

But in the end, I enjoyed this work like no other, it really caught me and destroyed my mind (and my emotional stability), it was a story that was a before and after in my life, and above all, it was a light of hope in the genre shonen, which lately was giving us mediocre stories and cliches, so today more than ever:
