Just because every one says it's great doesn't mean it's good. Attack on titan has general anime flaws that prevent it from beaning a masterpiece that everyone thinks it is.

The main problem is that Attack on titan feels like 2 movies chopped up into 25 episodes. Most episodes don't stand up on their own because it feels like your just watching a random chunk out of a movie which results in the episodes feeling out of context.

Character wise, Attack on titan only develops the main characters. Everyone else is bland and forgettable.

This Anime isn't all bad however. Attack on titan is good at building tension. it's about the same level of tension as shown in the hunger games movies. Attack on titan also has very little fan- service moments which makes it less pandering and unwatchable.

Attack on titan is generally good but it's very forgettable.
