After watching the entire "Battle of Trost story arch last night I can say that this is one of the best shonen series of all time. The story centers around Eren Yeager and his friends who join the military after the giants known as Titans attack their hometown forcing them further into the walls that protect humanity from the creatures. Simply put this anime is an example of great storytelling without any of the anime tropes and clichés thrown in to appease the otaku. This show is intense, emotional, action packed, no fan service, no visual gags, no super-deformed bullsh*t just great story and amazing animation. Seriously, this show has some of the best animation I've seen in any anime each frame is beautifully drawn with intense and unique action scenes. This shows biggest strength is the sense of fear and hopelessness that permeates the atmosphere. The shows premise almost reminds me of something that would happen in my nightmares. Really I can't recommend this show enough. If it keeps this going it will probably replace Fullmetal Alchemist as my favourite shonen series.
