Exhilarating.
That one word captures the story line of Attack On Titan beautifully. Each chapter continues to leave me in awe and a craving for more, I eagerly wait each month for the next dose of a mind blowing chapter. I truly can not stress how much of a masterpiece this manga is and I urge everyone who hasn't already to read it. I myself was never a huge fan of Manga but Attack On Titan isn't just a manga to me anymore it's a part of me in a sense, the raw emotion I feel when reading it highlights the brilliance of Hajime Isayama's ability to write a good story and the characters and their personalities are so well executed that they feel like real humans that I and many others can empathize with.

At first glance you'd assume Attack On Titan was just another generic anime with an obnoxiously loud protagonist on his path for revenge but fuck me that is just the tip of the iceberg, one of the things I love about AOT is how realistic it is. What's realistic about 60ft monstrous beings with an appetite for human flesh? Well as the story progresses we as the audience face the grueling reality that the real enemy are humans with goals and desires just like everyone else, it'd be more accurate to say there is no enemy only people who were raised with different beliefs, and that's what makes AOT so hauntingly beautiful. It captures the true nature of human's and portrays everyone as grey rather than black or white.

This story is far more complex and intricate than many would assume based off the beginning chapters but I assure you AOT is anything but generic, it's a story that illuminates the harshness and the cruelty of the real world whilst still maintaining a level of humor to balance out the gore and death that will inevitably come. If I could I would erase my memory of the manga just to experience it again for the first time, but I can't so I hope whoever reads this gives AOT a chance because it's definitely worth it.
