I still don’t hype about this anime. I mean, I know it’s a classic and all, but… where exactly does it get that interesting?
And yeah, I’m talking about the OG anime, everyone’s favorite, Attack on Titan.
Image Source AOT has a good story, no doubt. I’ve only seen Season 1 so far, and even though it’s old, it still hits harder than a lot of new anime. That twist with Annie being the female titan? Wild. Didn’t see that coming at all.
What I like is how it keeps you guessing, there's always this tension. You kinda want to know what happens next, even if you’re not fully obsessed. And Eren? Classic main character syndrome. Always trying to save everyone, yelling about “exterminating all titans.” Lol.
Also, tell me I’m not the only one that thinks there’s more between Eren and Mikasa? That can’t just be family vibes. But honestly, that moment at the end of Season 1, when a titan face pops out of the wall? That scene alone made me want to dive into Season 2 immediately.
And we can’t leave out Armin. The guy might not throw punches, but when it comes to strategy? He’s a silent MVP.
I just hope all that titan power doesn’t turn Eren into something weird later.
What I Loved and Didn’t
AOT’s plot is solid, but Season 1 kinda drags sometimes. They talk too much. Like I get it, world-building and all that, but some of those scenes could’ve been way shorter and still made sense.
Also, the animation felt weird at times. There were scenes that looked more like a slideshow than an anime, just stiff frames and voiceovers. I’m hoping the animation levels up in later seasons.
Some characters also felt weak, like, too many people just die randomly. But I guess that’s part of what makes it unpredictable. Nobody’s really safe.
Now Levi… Levi’s a whole different level. The moment he shows up, you already know it’s about to get serious. And tell me I’m not the only one who thinks him and Mikasa are somehow related? Their fighting style is almost identical, quick, precise, and that same calm and deadpan look. Too smooth.
Image Source The Influence on Me
AOT basically taught me not to have a favorite character, they just die 😭. But still… Levi. Can’t help it. His energy is too strong.
It also made me way more curious. Like, I’ve been fighting the urge to look up spoilers, but it’s so hard. You want to know what’s coming, but also don’t wanna ruin it.
Standout Performance
Levi and Mikasa are both top-tier, no debate. But if I had to pick one…
Image Source It’s gotta be him. Too iconic. Doesn’t even need to try too hard. Aura alone handles everything.
My Rating
8/10. The story? Strong. The animation? Hmm… could be better. But I’m definitely watching Season 2. Let's hope it's a bit better.
