Shingeki no Kyojin – Something “brutally” fresh…..

About the STORY
Some of the elements are not so different from your everyday anime. However, the plot is definitely something to look forward to. It can be refreshing and not predictable unlike some typical storylines of today. The storyline is on the heavy side but it’s not tragic enough to become tasteless. It’s not all gore and blood but there’s actually an interesting story. he flow of story is made in way that the revelations are even more exciting. Since it’s a survival-kind of story, there’s also the element of psychological drama.
About the CHARACTERS
Main protagonist is indeed one of the strong ones out there. Driven by extremely strong resolve; his personality is perfect for the plot of the story. Interesting villains, I must say. They are not only weird physically speaking but as a whole as well which make them even more interesting. They are actually the major difference of this anime from the others. There’s a wide variations of characters and through-out the series, almost all have huge character developments.
About the ANIMATION and SOUNDS
Outstanding animation. One of the best of 2013. The fight scenes are different from the typical ones most particularly when the characters are using their unique gears. Therefore, it makes it even cooler and stands out from the others. Character designs are quite different with its “manga-like” style most specifically with their facial expressions. Amazing soundtracks to back-up the interesting storyline. Every important scene feels even more powerful because of the soundtracks. I personally like the 1st opening song.
About the ENJOYMENT
This is definitely the best I’ve seen in a long, LONG time. When someone is fed up with the almost the same animes everyday, this is definitely great for “otakus” like me who’s looking for something new or something not obviously predictable. From story to characters to animation and sounds; almost all the important elements of the series are made professionally and amazingly to bring out the best of the anime. I am definitely going to follow this in the manga and hope for a sequel in anime.
