Attack on Titan - TV Series Review

Attack on Titan is about human beings living in a world where they are near being wiped out by giant human-like beings known as the Titans. The plot revolves round the character of eren jaeger and his classmates who decide to eliminate these creatures after seeing first-hand how powerful they are. It disentangles the truth about Titans in the most explosive investigation boasting a non-stop action.

Here you discover aspects of survival, liberty and very existence of mankind all captured in this anime. The general mood is rather dark and serious, though there are also notes of hope and survival in the clutter. It is an opera which depicts grief, sorrow and the struggle for justice; ethical questions are also present in it.

’The voice acting really adds a new dimension to the characters, especially Yûki Kaji as Eren, who gives much anger and determination to the character. However, the relationships between characters like Mikasa, Armin, and Eren provide the fantastical store small but endearing human experiences and emotions that make their stories very appealing.

Tetsurô Araki guarantees each episode is compact, full of tensions and shares an equal ratio of the action and the series’ melodramatic scenes. Arakis visionaries are Masashi Koizuka and Yûichirô Hayashi who expand on the concept but keep the focus of the story razor-sharp.

The score composed by Hiroyuki Sawano is strong and evocative and it fits the narrative significance of the show to the tee. In the dramatized scenes, the music adds a feeling of urgency and amazement.

The animation is strong with varieties as well as distinctive picture quality. Anything concerning Titans has the scenes that depict the scale to portray them as a threat, and the cities are breathtakingly beautiful in portraying a world that is almost doomed.

There’s a focus on design in the series and the Titans, as are the human settings that are shown in the series also. The scale of the really giants in the plot and the vulnerability of the human civilization contributes to depth of the other focus of the tale.

This seems to be true as the anime has wonderfully animated fights that make the audience feel tense. Facilitating dynamism, and the precision in movements help to create an ambiance of the show.

The pacing in Attack on Titan works good when it comes to the editing as it manages to give time to every sub-plot and the main plots as well. The change from one scene to another is done smoothly to ensure continuity.

It is a credit that in each case the pacing and structure of the episodes fits together so well and attains a increasing momentum. This makes audiences remain glued to their screens as they wait for the next event in action packed, suspenseful and dramatic scenes.

I like the sharp and concise wording of dialogues in Attack on Titan that reflects characters’ intents and the nature of the threat they are facing. Small talk is not insignificant because it plays a part in characterisation: chats may echo deeper issues.

Thus one may sum up while the series is generally successful in its execution it comes across as overly complicated for which graphic animation can be a real sight for sore eyes especially if the viewer is a newcomer to anime. Some characters’ development might have been served better had it encompassed even greater evolution. However, these are but small incidences in an otherwise excellent series.

Attack on Titan is an action packed drama with an engaging plot that delves into concepts close to the human soul. People felt vivid emotions and it lodged itself in the mind, presenting anime as a narrative storytelling technique.
