- Dystopia (terrifying place to live in), 100%
- German influence(name of characters are German names), 90%
- tragedy and gore ( lots of death, unexpected death and intense visual), 85%
- science/Greek fiction (titans, modern weapons) 100%
It is the most recommended anime to watch by most friends in 2013-2014. Of course, provided you are prepared to watch one, as it can be very intense and you will see a lot of excruciating deaths scenes.
Plot:
Long story short, it's basically a time of the future, where humans, surviving humans are protected by layers of really tall walls which in this case protecting them from the giant man-eating titans who came from nowhere since 100 years ago. So the story started when a massive titan whom they called as "Armored Titan" made a messed and causing the first layer of the wall to diminish.
So all titans (from giants to small titans) started to roam the first layer city on a buffet spree.. apparently in the later episode, it is founded that these titans intentionally murdered human beings as plausibly as an effort to exterminate our species (yikes).Well, they eat and vomit
Since this anime only last for 25 episodes, there are still a lot of questions left behind (well unless you are extreme spoiler sadist like me, go and read the manga version).
Main characters who I assumed not so soon to be dead:
The guy with guts but no talent, Eren Jaeger :
He is special, you'll know him when you watch this. Typical adrenaline overdosed hero who unlike other characters, do not look too panic and scared when facing the titans.
The girl with abs, guts and skill, but zero communication skill, Misaka Ackerman:
She's the heroine (more like a hero) as she played the part where anybody could count on her, regardless of her juniority(opposite seniority ..hehe). She's overprotecting adopted sister of Eren, and have a thing for him. Mysterious and obviously blessed (-.-") with talent to kill titans. She's a half Asian here and obviously we Asian have either became titans or died as titans' barfs as she is considered as a rare ethnicity.
The overly sensitive and fragile but still survived third wheeler genius, Armin Arlert:
He's not outstanding and god knows what on his mind when he decided to become a Recon corp. Obviously a very normal terrified 15 year old boy who still can't get grip of his reality being in titan infest world condition. Even so, he mostly did all of the plannings and the adults even listen to his opinions.
Main trivia of this Anime:
- The anti titans army consists of three divisions: The Garrison Regiment, the Survey corp, Military police brigade(high class). There is also the trainees squad which is what this anime is focusing on as the lead characters are the recent graduates.
- Jaeger is "hunter" in German. so.. Eren Jaeger (so cliche) ..
- "Eren Jaeger" in urban dictionary is an action verb for a person when he has an uncontrollable anger.
- Titans have different classes by their height (per meter). They are usually deformed and have different types of behaviour.
Rating:
- Filter and effect: The anime has a nice texture of color of mostly orange and brown.
- Anime details: Detailed , it is drawn in Seinen/Josei style (mature drawing) but it still has a shoujo influence in the characters (eyes quite big though)
- If you are expose to gore animes a lot, then this would be just okay for you. So, seinen/josei lovers will find this anime 8/10. Shoujo and Shonen lovers will find it okay except for the graphical content so, 5/10.
