Attack on Titan, the anime everyone knows, most love and is well received generally. When you say it was your starter anime a lot of people will quickly judge you and assume its your favourite anime and to be honest they wouldn't be wrong. I'm no different, Yes it is my favourite anime but like a lot of things your first always has a special place in your heart, your first star wars, first marvel movie, first book. The thing is to be your favourite it also has to be good, so for the first anime you watch to be THIS good is pretty amazing and surely competently understandably as to why it would be so many peoples favorites, it is an amazing story that introduced them to the fine world of Anime.

Anyways, Season 1 I watched all the way back in 2017, around the time season 2 began. I watched it cause a kid at my school said it was good and although at the time anime was considered weird, i gave it a shot and it blew my mind, id never seen an animated show be so "gory" and have such a good story, kids TV shows didn't compare to this masterpiece. When Eren "died" in episode 5 i was absolutely shocked, to "kill" off a main character was something I never expected from any show or movie ever and completely changed my perception on that kind of story telling. Obviously his return was then met with a great amount of relief and continued the series.

That was back in 2017 and here I am in 2021 being told by my brother to pick anime back up after he had begun his anime journey. I'd dropped off anime mid way through season 2 because of school studies and never found the time to begin again. I shrugged off my brothers suggestions as I remembered little of the show and doubted it had held up. But my brother continued to antagonize me to the point I decided what harm could it do. So I started up again, from Season 1. I remembered the few small main details and deaths in the first half but by the Female Titan Arc i remembered very few details other than some major ones. This Arc still stands now as one of my favourites, I love it because throughout it on the first watch you have no clue what to expect. So many questions are asked, who or what is the female titan? Why are they after Eren? What else is outside the walls? Its a completely different setting to that of the training arc inside the walls and it opens the story up so much.

So Season 1 made a huge impact to me, with one of my favourite Arcs of the series, characters who to this day ( the ones who survived... Marco...) are amazingly written and developed that i adore. It comes as no surprise that Attack on Titan is my favourite Anime, so I have to thank the guy who told me back in 2017 to watch it as well as my brother for getting me stuck back in not only to Attack on Titan but also Anime in general!

I plan to review a lot of the anime's i watch cause i enjoy giving my own opinions and writing, for those who have read this far i'll tell you how i work, i have a top 100 anime scratch off poster which i follow, currently as i write this i have 11 scratched off. My brother has the same poster ( courtesy of me) and he has around 25. I don't just stick to the list i do watch others that i see recommended on TikTok ( where i also see too many spoilers lol) as well as generally flicking through Funimation. I also rank all the ones i watch both on here and on my own personal Tier Maker which is set as my banner ( if i cropped it right) please accept this is my opinion and feel free to share your own in a civilized manner!

See you on AOT S2 review!
