Great use of cinematography. OST captures the scope and gravity of the premise. Poorly-paced directionless story with a poorly-handled cast.

Centuries ago, mankind was slaughtered to near extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called titans, forcing humans to hide in fear behind enormous concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born out of hunger but what appears to be out of pleasure.

  This show is great, filled with action and some horror. You just never know who is safe. Could be good to show to non-anime watchers.

  My big issue with this one was with the tone. The facial expressions and reactions were the same for fart jokes as they were for the Titans.

  The anime that got me into anime. If it weren't for AoT, I wouldn't be the weeb I am today. Overall the show is great, I enjoyed it.

  Extremely overrated. But still not as bad as some people make it out to be.
