Attack on Titan
Its plot may have become a little convoluted over the years, but <anchor>Attack on Titan</anchor> is still a great anime with a fantastic cast of characters and some wonderful story threads. The visuals are top-notch too, though those with an aversion to violence may wish to give this one a miss, as it's an incredibly gritty and gory affair right from the get-go.
