Synopsis

Two thousand years from now, the human race nearly wipes off by man-eating giants known as Titans. In a final attempt to live, a small percentage of humanity survives protected by the walls in a city. And nonetheless, humanity believes these walls can hold all the Titans outside the wall since they haven’t seen a Titan attacking them in over 100 years. But how long those walls can withstand the Titans?

Story 

Attack on Titan sets in a fantasy world where humanity is driven to the brink of extinction by the mindless, man-eating giants. Humanity builds three walls- Maria, Rose, and Sina to survive from Tians. In the year 845, after nearly a century of peace, a “Collosial Titan” breaches the Wall Maria, and as a result, Titans massacres the city inside the Wall Maria. However, even though some of them survived and escaped into the Wall Rose, a young boy Eren Jaeger witnesses the horror of Titans. He loses the people dear to him and vows to get rid of every last Titan from the world and bring back the freedom of humanity. His journey begins along with Mikasa and Armin.

Characters

The show makes you like the characters more than any other aspect because of their will power and motives. Like Levi, the captain of Recon Corps, Erwin, the commander of Recon Corps, and the main character Eren Jaeger. Every character in the anime makes the way when there is a necessity. And from the beginning to the end of the series, character development is fantastic. The least focused role will end up being your favorite.

The Soundtracks

And when you finally immersed in an action scene, the background music suddenly makes you feel goosebumps. How does it feel? The music is one more critical aspect, which made the epic action scenes even more intense.

Animation

Well, since Attack on Titan set in a post-apocalyptic world, you might think there wouldn’t be any modern based weapons to fight. How do you think they’ll compete against Titans? Of course, 3D Maneuver Gear is the weapon they use. The animation of displaying the usage of gear and those stunning visuals are enough to know the quality of animation.

Wit Studio has done a fantastic job. The animation is good, not just at action scenes but also at usual stages. It proves that the studio cares about every detail to entertain the viewer.
