In 2023, it seems impossible that you’ve never heard of Attack on Titan. This animated series, launched in 2013, is adapted from Hajime Isayama’s manga of the same name (34 volumes published by Pika), set in a fantasy world in which humanity retreats behind giant walls to escape cannibalistic giants. Titans.
After witnessing the death of his mother during the attack that led to the destruction of Wall Maria and the invasion of his hometown, Eren Jaeger vows to eliminate every last Titan. For this, the young man decided to join the prestigious search brigades.
The main quality of the series is its plot. Beyond the simple story of survival in a hostile world, Attack on Titan never ceases to surprise its audience with surprising revelations and unexpected twists that completely renew the action.
By avoiding a simple story of good versus evil, Attack on Titan paints a portrait of complex and tortured characters. The concept of morality is constantly questioned by the actions of the protagonists, especially when the greatest interest requires making bloody decisions.
Another quality that made Attack on Titan a popular series is its animation. No anime, and perhaps no series, gives us the impression of feeling the struggles from within.
It’s always readable, the action certainly doesn’t occupy the heart of the story, but it’s really these sequences that gave the series its letters of nobility.
Among the best TV series of all time
Season 4 was a turning point in anime. In addition to the ellipsis of several years in the story, the series also received a facelift with a change of studio (MAPPA replacing Wit Studios). Initially criticized, the work delivered by this new team has convinced most fans, including the most skeptical.
After a decade on the air, the grand finale of Attack on Titan is finally getting ready to air. It took four seasons to complete the manga story. The broadcast of the fourth season was divided into three different parts, according to some the need to properly adapt the work or an opportunistic desire to increase the successful series for others.
Attack on Titan isn’t just the best, highest-rated Japanese animated series of all time on AlloCiné. With an average viewership rating of 4.5/5, the series is also the sixth best series ever produced, behind several notable titles such as Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and Chernobyl.
According to Anthony Q. (5/5):
“In fact, we could talk about this for hours… nothing is left to chance, the story is special and the revelations are absolutely insane and beyond anything we can imagine or theorize. To be clear: CHEF D ‘ABSOLUTE WORK’
According to Jerem69tt (5/5):
“A series that grows and grows stronger with a plot and incredibly intense suspense, in the form of its very detailed narrative arc and response elements that bring incredible suspense. With a dose of action, fighting, blood and suspense (similar to Game of Thrones, where even important characters can die ), with an opening and captivating music, we are constantly worried that we want to continue. A must see.”
According to breknew (5/5):
“An absolute masterpiece that surpasses GOT. A must watch multiple times for the complex plot and the amount of hidden subtleties (of which there are even more in the manga).”
According to Hisoka (5/5):
“snk? what? you don’t know? so honestly you’re missing something crazy, i admit i didn’t really like the concept at first but these last seasons really made me “change my mind”. it’s a masterpiece with lots of action just like we like it, lovely With characters, of course, despite some flaws, we’re not going to lie, Levi is the best. 👍”
According to Darth Maul 😎 (4.5/5):
“The atmosphere is dark, but the fights are stylish, the script is serious, but if I gave it a 4.5 and not a 5.0c, because there are still some flaws. Of course, I’m not talking about the music or the characters, I’m talking about the moments that are not essential to this anime or something like that . However, this anime is very good and I’m looking forward to the next seasons”
Airing in Japan on November 4th, the final episode of Attack on Titan does not yet have an official broadcast date on Crunchyroll in France.
