Ever since I finished Attack on Titan I've been trying to find something that scratches the same itch but haven't been able to so far.
What I liked about it the most is that it started out as a survival story in which the inhabitants of Paradis are getting decimated by Titans. But it evolves into so much more.
The shift from fighting monsters to learning about them to
Another thing I liked about it was just the sheer amount of detail to every single thing. Isayama wrote the story in such a way that it feels like every single little detail was considered. Even now you'll see fans joking online that it was actually
The pacing in the show is another thing I found absolutely fascinating. Each episode and each season brings new revelations that make you rethink everything that's happened so far, and the complexity of moral decisions the characters are struggling with really brings the show to a level I haven't seen in other shows yet.
The show is, in my opinion, a perfect example of what the shackles of freedom (and the chasing of it) look like and how sometimes there is no right choice to be made. I really liked the last scene which showcases
I think that mirrors the real world really well and even though it's a really sad thought, it might be just an inescapable law of the universe.
My initial thoughts post-watch were that I absolutely hated the ending. But the more thought I put into it the more I think I like it this way. In the end,

Mikasa and Eren still managed to live out the three years (in the paths dream that he created) that they would get (because of Ymir's curse) if Eren didn't commit the monstrosities that he did.
