Attack on Titan season 1

Okay, so it might be time I catch up with the "cool kids" and this very popular series.


The first season, compremising of 25 episodes, bundles four arcs from the original magna in a series of "linked sub-arcs" to the overal plot.

Just a word of warning first: don't get attached to any characters outside the main cast, they end up dead rather quickly, making Game of Thrones look like a fairy tail.

Humanity has been hurdled back into one giant city, ringed by three huge walls.  Assailed by all sides by gigantic monsters called Titans, Eren wants to join the Scouts as they come outside this lifestock like existence.
But Wall Maria is breached and his parents killed, so Eren vows revenge together with his childhood friends Armin and Mikasa.  He seemingly falls after completing his training, but reappears as a Titan himself, attacking the others.


Eren and his friends are subsequently recruited in the elite scout regiment of captain Levi, but when faced with a strange female Titan who apparently also possesses the ability to transform, the scout squad gets decimated. But this Titan is suspected to be one of the scouts, and when the remnants of the regiment returns home, she reveals herself and wreaks havoc in the city...


Okay, so it isn`t a bad series indeed, and both entry musics (especially the one from the first part of the season) are epical pieces.  But the one thing I didn`t like though was the style in which the Titans themselves are drawn and animated, they look so out of place.

Never the less, over time I`ll check out the remaining seasons as well...
