___Shingeki no Kyojin_ __(Attack on Titan), is a master piece. It's one of the few animes that I started and finished in a very few days. It's one of the few shows that I kept seeing and still wanted more. I'll start with the Cons and move on to the Pros.
Spoiler Alert for Season 1. Spoiler warning is given if other seasons plot is given. No MANGA SPOILERS.
Cons :
None
Call me a toxic fan or whatever but, I've been thinking for a long time, and I have no idea. (Message me if you can think of something)
- Fandom
I know this isn't directly related to the official anime or manga, but the new fandom is bad.
(Shingeki no Kyojin Season 4 spoilers) Look, Eren in season 4 is amazing. But, the fandom spoiled it. Especially the "Tik-Tok" fandom. Look I personally have no problem with knowing Eren isn't strong against other verses. There's no way he's beating Goku, Saitama or other powerful characters. Honestly Eren is overrated and I wish he wasn't cause because of this, so many people just start hating on this Anime/Manga. Also, the manga-spoilers. I've basically been spoiled so many things that are to happen in the Part - 2 of Season 4
GIVES DEPRESSION
Pros :
- Excellent Start
Shingeki no Kyojin, had one of the best first episode, it sets the tone and the story. You are introduced to this dark world and the story grips you as you move on and see Eren avenge his mother.
- Great Characters
The cast is great, everyone plays an important role. And everyone has their own motivations.
- Female Characters
This is one of the shows where women are there as characters and as actual human beings. There is no fan service and the women are really powerful, too.
- Reality
This isn't your usual anime. It's dark. No power of friendship. Sure there are things which help our characters but, you still don't know if they are going to make it out alive till the end. This really grasps you into the story as you wish and have this hope to see your favourite character live till the end.
- Fights :
The fights, granted there aren't much, but the ones that are there are really good. Like really, really good.
- No Villians (Season 4 spoilers)
I love the idea of how there is no good or bad. Just war. Everyone has suffered. Everyone at end is just a human trying to survive. (Except Reiner, let this poor man die and get some rest :( )
- Animation
Due to 7 Deadly Sins, We know story isn't the only thing needed for a good anime. Animation, Voice and many more are important. And the animation does not fail. It's really, really good. Some shots are just art. Just wanted to say Mappa did an amazing job, too.
- Voice Acting
Bro, Kaji Yūki is amazing as Eren. The rage scene in season 2 (I think, or 3, I'm not sure) is amazing. He just captures the essence of the character. Hiroshi Kamiya, Marina Inoue, Daisuke Ono to name a few are Amazing.
- Pleasure
The thing with Shingeki no Kyojin, is you can watch it once and really enjoy it. The second time you find things you never knew and clues about future episodes. And I'm pretty sure after Season 4 part - 2, the re-watch will again give us more things we missed.
- Openings
The openings are gold. All of them. I don't think I've ever skipped a Shingeki No Kyojin opening ever. Best one is obviously Shinzou wo sasageyo, but others are super good, too.
I surely would recommend this Anime to literally anyone. Must Watch. Warning, gives depression.
