Season 4 is already halfway through, and I've found myself revisiting the previous seasons once again. It truly stands out as a masterpiece on all levels. I had to pause S1E06 just now to write this review because 9 minutes into that episode had me crying once more.

I've been following AoT since 2013, eagerly awaiting each new episode and season. It's hard to believe the series is ending very soon. "Don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened," and all that...

For a while, my top 3 ongoing shows were GoT, Vikings, and AoT. Sadly, GoT collapsed before the finish line, Vikings gradually lost quality after its fourth season, while Attack on Titan has remained strong and not only stayed brilliant but actually improved in many ways as the show progressed, which is incredibly rare.

To this day, I still listen to the amazing soundtrack while doing other things, and each time I return to watching the show, it's hard to find anything negative about it. Some people may say that AoT is overrated, and I might have thought that at some points in the show as well, such as at various points in Season 2 and 3. However, when you see how it all connects together and makes overall sense in the grand scheme, some seemingly weaker aspects or things that appear nonsensical, overly contrived, or dramatized at the time make sense upon revisiting it, or at least that was my experience.

In any case, I would give Attack on Titan a 10/10 simply because it is intensely watchable, engaging, inspiring, epic, thought-provoking, anti-war, spine-chilling, horrifying at times, emotional, and tear-inducing.

If you enjoyed the early seasons of Game of Thrones, Vikings, Breaking Bad, Fullmetal Alchemist, and other similar shows, then Attack on Titan is definitely for you.

Now, I must endure the agonizing anticipation for each new and final episode of the last season...

P. S. - a good companion documentary to this is Dominion (2018)
