Hello everyone! Today I will be giving my first impressions on the Attack on Titan anime, and will also discuss the potential of its future, talk about its characters, and view its world from a critical standpoint.
So to start off this review, let’s begin with the first episode. The way the tone is conveyed throughout the episode gives off a sense of foreshadowing, which is due to a great amount of writing and directing. The episode on a surface level however, is very standard. It doesn’t seem to give off an ominously foreboding tone at all, with the exception of a couple scenes, but aside from that, the episode gives us a good impression of our main characters and the people around them.
Speaking of main characters,: Eren, Mikasa, and Armin, are all very interesting to me (Excluding Mikasa). Mikasa by far from the first episode is the least interesting, typically coming off as quite one note and bland. Though she is pretty, she doesn’t have enough time in the episode to really give her personality the same level of quality as her appearance.
Armin is a bit more interesting to me than Mikasa is. He seems a bit shy or scared when conversing with others sometimes, at least that’s my impression of him. But I do like the aura of mannerism he gives off, typically being polite to most of the people he interacts with throughout the episode. I think because of this, he will be one of my favorites later on.
Eren is the last main character I wanted to go over. I’ve been meaning to save him for last since he is my favorite out of the three. I love that determination he has, and unlike most other anime protagonists, his determination doesn’t come off as tropey or foolhardy. He is very confident, which is something I respect as well. He’s also not the nicest child, which is fine. I do like the fact that’s he’s not just the “number one good boy” like other child protagonist. I think because of his determination and stubbornness, he will easily become my favorite character for quite a while
