Name: Attack on Titans Shingeki no Kyojin 進撃の巨人
*Season 2 coming

Status: Completed
Episode: 25
Release date (for eng subs): Every Sunday


Summary:

Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by titans. Titans are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of titans.
Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a titan in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a colossal titan that appears out of thin air. As the smaller titans flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Eren vows that he will murder every single titan and take revenge for all of mankind.

Really unique anime. Really a bit gory (I don't know why, but they make it seem really gory when it really isn't that bad).


I really like the story line for this anime. I find that it has that depth to it, and the timing in which they show each episode seem to makes the next episode even more meaningful. A really well planned anime. I really love their fighting scenes I'm hoping the 2nd season would have more fighting scenes. I kind of liked the way they throw away from characters to easily, unlike the typical mainstream anime which can never let go of their main characters (which makes the anime so predictable).



Though, some times i find that it's a little hard to understand the character's expression. Sometimes i feel that they mix anger and sadness together. Either that or I lack the ability to completely understand their feelings. I also felt that some episodes were quite draggy and there was not much of a progress in the story line. 



This anime is better if you watch in as a whole series then one week per episode. Watching it a 2nd time would give you more time to remember the character names and who actually died. Because for me I was really lost as to whose name is said.

Really like some of the character designs. Really goes well together with their personalities. 
I just don't really like how they use lines on some shadows, it really gets to me. 
Love the details they put into the eyes. Really pretty.
