KokoroAkechi 09/29/17 4:21:01 AM #116:	27. Attack on Titan (S1) https://myanimelist.net/anime/16498/Shingeki_no_Kyojin Attack on Titan is probably the most known show on this list. Titans are huge humanoid monsters that threaten the very existence of mankind. The largest known remnant of them live in a city surrounded by three walls. Most of the inhabitants seem sure that they would continue to be safe from the titans. Obviously they were wrong or this show would suck. I want to get the characters out of the way first as those are by far the weakest aspect of the series. Most of them are fairly one dimensional with story elements that make them interesting. There's a parody show Attack on Titan Jr High which pokes fun of all the characters most defining trait. Like Erin wants to destroy titans more than sex up Mikasa. Mikasa has to protect Erin whenever she can. Armin is... smart but frail? The side characters have their own charm mostly with a notable one in S1 being Sasha and in S2 being the likes of Krista and Ymir. That being said the ranking is only for S1 as I do feel like S2 was good but not great. The story has a lot of moving parts some of which are kind of boring by overall necessary in building the world. Like I think they go way too long before some reveals and explaining things. Like I'm not even sure what the show is exactly about anymore. A lot of it revolves around individual character stories and how they got to where they are. A lot of it is done between battles as like exposition, which can be annoying but the overall character dynamic is fairly strong due to the differing view points and reasoning for each of the characters being in their situation which makes you care more about their own personal back stories and how they play into the series as a whole than them as actual characters. One of the most defining aspects is the art and combat. The show looks very good with Wit Studio using strongly defined lines and excellent shading and lighting effects. The action is fast and the overall Titan fight scenes are some of the best in modern anime in terms of the excitement they can generate. IMO the lack of a really good titan fight is one of the main things I feel that was a let down in S2 overall. The music and sound overall are also very strong. Production values are very high. Attack on Titan has some parts where it's just passable, but more than makes up for them in closely related areas. 100% worth a pickup if you somehow have not seen it yet. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:887496190] in Kokoro's t...
