Let me say that the animation, the music, the fighting scenes, the shock factor are top notch. Surprise attacks and scenes make this one hell of a show. However, as a viewer, I find it very hard to sit through all the talking and chitchat which prolongs even more than expected. Knowing every detail isn't necessary nor is knowing every person's point of view. Half of season four could be cut down from all the chitchat. Season 1 and 2 are amazing. Season 3 is great and has some very emotional scenes. The fourth season is excellent as well. With season 4, I find it very annoying how this little girl whose loud and raging on, can't seem to shut up. Or how there are so many scenes about her and what she's doing. When there is so much happening and the political landscape is moving, I want to know what's going on around the soldiers with the protagonist and the enemy, what they are doing to fight back. I can't pretty much watch anything but man is it hard watching people talk and talk constantly from one episode to the next. Also, when there is a fight scene, in the middle of the fight, the scene goes somewhere else. This happens many times. While I am trying to see what happens next, another 5 to 10 minutes goes to some other scene. I get it, you want to prolong the awesome fight scenes but that should be the makers of the show, their job to mash everything together well. I know am being critical about a lot of things but this is my honest review. It is not as great as people make it sound like. Like I said, it has some great stuff but it lacks in other areas. Lastly, the term devil and God are thrown around so much. Japanese writersclaim Titans as God, people as God which is very irritating. They seem to put this mumbo jumbo into many of their animes. The story isn't as interesting or appealing either. Who cares about the origin but this is the issue with Japanese anime, they have to over explain every single thing to the letter. If you watch a lot of anime, you'll understand exactly what I am saying. I am still not done talking about the Akuma (devil) and Kami (God). It is a brilliant show but it is not the best. Not even close. It may perhaps be in the top 10 shows no doubt. Anyways, food for thought.
