Humanity has fallen. The earth no longer belongs to people. For a hundred years now, the survivors have been forced to eke out their existence behind three rows of giant stone walls, protecting them from the threat. The enemy of people is simply monstrous: they once appeared on earth huge titans and began to devour everyone who came to hand. And progress gave way to decline - technology remained at the level of the nineteenth century, the most strong weapon humanity are guns that will be of little help in a battle with such an enemy. Would you like to live in such a world? I wouldn't want to. And to the anime heroes Shingeki No Kyojin("Attack on Titan", "Attack on Titan") you don’t have to choose: you either fight or become a snack for the titans...
Brief information
Shingeki No Kyojin was released in 2013 by the studio Production I. G, and consists of 25 episodes and several spin-offs storylines. "Attack on Titan" is not an ordinary anime. The main goal its release boosted sales of the manga, which was not selling very well. The result exceeded all expectations. Nobody expected the anime to be such a huge success. In terms of popularity, no one could compete with Attack on Titan in 2013. Thanks to anime, the manga company was finally able to increase its profits for the first time in years.
Apparently, not everyone liked this success. On one popular foreign resource, “Attack on Titan” was voted the most overrated anime in history by popular vote. And, to be honest, this is not entirely clear to me. Yes, Shingeki No Kyojin has a number of shortcomings, but it also good features There's plenty in this anime. Criticizing Attack on Titan is almost as fashionable as criticizing . “But this is mainstream, anime for rednecks!!!” - heard from different parts of the planet. Strange people…Attack on Titan is one of the few anime that I would not hesitate to recommend to someone new to the anime industry and looking for something to watch.
Characters
Okay, enough of the lyrics, it's time to get down to the facts. Let's start by looking at the characters. Their number is huge. First of all, this is due to the fact that people in that world die constantly, and new ones come to replace them. However, it is worth noting that all the minor characters are well written. There is no feeling that these are soulless dummies pronouncing memorized template phrases, and are needed only as food for the titans. In anime, in which psychology plays an important role, the diversity of heroes and their personalities is very important. In my opinion, Attack on Titan does this very well.
The secondary characters are good. What about the main ones? There are only three of them, let's look at them in more detail:
He finds himself in the middle of the action when a huge colossus makes a hole in the outer wall of the Maria. The Titan devours Eren's mother right before his eyes. Enraged by his powerlessness, Eren vowed to destroy all the titans in this world. To do this, he entered the academy, which teaches how to fight titans one-on-one using a system of winches and swords. Even without having developed mind, due to his perseverance and courage (sometimes bordering on recklessness), he manages to get into the ranks of the best.
What can I say: original and interesting ideas I didn't notice anything about the main character. Type used an idealist trying with all his might to become stronger. Perhaps the only unusual thing I would like to note is Eren’s gradual realization that in order to defeat monsters, he must become a monster himself. Not only physically, but also mentally. This is shown very well in latest episodes season. That is, over time, Eren turns from a person with high moral standards to something beast-like, and I liked it. But if we ignore this fact, then we can easily see that Eren is an ordinary "Ahhhh kill all the villains" a character who tends to utter all sorts of pretentious phrases during battles, which begin to get boring towards the end. Oh yes, he also sometimes becomes unbearably stupid.
Eren's childhood friend. Together they dreamed of getting beyond the walls to travel across fields, seas and deserts. He has a developed mind, but is physically inferior to his peers. Because of this, he often found himself the object of bullying, from which Eren and Mikasa protected him in every possible way. Together with Eren, he decides to enter the academy to fight the titans, and does this more for company than out of a desire for revenge.
Personally, I found Armin a little more non-standard than Eren. A sort of self-underestimating smart guy who constantly needs to be supported and reminded of his genius. I think each of you knew an excellent student at school who was most worried about the exam results, but always received highest mark. Armin is one of those. But what I liked most was how well it was shown Contrast Armin with Eren: sanity versus ardor, fear versus battle madness, intelligence versus strength. If Eren begins to seem like a killing machine, then Armin remains much more human all the time.
Eren's half-sister. After bandits kill her family and Eren saves her from death, Eren's parents decide to take Mikasa into their care. For this, she is filled with love and gratitude for Eren, and strives to protect him everywhere. Together with him he enters the academy, where he very quickly becomes the best due to his incredible fast technology possession of a flight device.
Mikasa fits very well into the atmosphere of that cruel world. Of course, sometimes her behavior towards Eren seems somewhat fanatical, but this can be attributed to the fear of losing the latter loved one. She talks the least, but does the most. I always respected such people. Overall, of the three, Mikasa is the least annoying.
As you can see, you won’t find any super-revelations among the main characters. However, I really liked that as the story progressed there is no fixation on one of them. The focus gradually shifts from one character to another. Damn it, at a certain point I actually started to think that the main character in the anime was not Eren, but Armin. There is a moment in the plot that came as a complete surprise to me and forced me to draw erroneous conclusions. I’m sure that I wouldn’t be able to watch Eren’s moral torment for 25 episodes, so shifting the focus from one main character to another was a completely justified move, which is complemented by well-written secondary characters. You won't be bored!
Plot
The plot can be easily divided into two parts − successful and inarticulate. While watching it, I got the feeling that the writers were so overwhelmed by success that they got scared and decided to sharply slow down the development of the plot. If until about the middle it is simply replete with bright and unexpected events, then from watching the remaining episodes I was left with the impression that I was watching Naruto. I watched the first part of the series with open mouth, devouring episode after episode. I watched the second part with increasing bewilderment, because I did not understand how such a dynamic anime could be so slowed down. Events that previously fit into one episode began to be spread out into three or four. The only worthy justification that comes to mind: the studio smelled money and decided to make some money. What's the easiest way to do this? That's right, increasing the number of episodes and decreasing the number of events. Quality suffers, but you can milk a successful title longer. It's a shame that this is happening more and more often.
Panache
Anime drawing excellent. From any screenshot you can conclude that this frame is from Attack on Titan. When an anime has its own unique drawing style, thanks to which you won’t confuse it with anything else, this speaks of the enormous work done by the artists. There are many characters, but their appearance is very different, and each has its own feature. Take the same Mikasa with her scarf or Ani Lionhart with her hooked nose. All characters are clearly drawn, backgrounds are filled with small details. I would especially like to note the animation during battles - it’s simply incomparable. You get the feeling that you are literally flying next to the hero.
Music
Music is in no way inferior to drawing. The OST lasts approximately two and a half hours, which is not bad for a 25-episode anime. The opening still gives me goosebumps. The soundtrack to "Attack on Titan" is one of my favorites, I listen to it periodically at work.
Atmospheric
In the anime it's just chic atmosphere. Everything, literally everything, is aimed at maintaining this atmosphere: from specific drawing and animation, to unexpected plot developments. It’s not often that you come across a situation where art, music and action complement each other so harmoniously. I couldn’t help but feel tense; it seemed like something unexpected was about to happen. Blood is shed here and there, people die in the hundreds, titans fall with their necks cut. When watching, you literally immerse yourself in the atmosphere of that world; it seems that you, together with the heroes, are flying between buildings and cutting down titans, and that you are risking your life with them every minute. Towards the end, the sensations dull, but during the moments of urban battles the adrenaline rushes. Very rarely have I gotten such a feeling from watching anime, the effect is comparable to watching a movie in a cinema in 3D on a huge screen.
Psychology
I also liked it psychological component anime. IN cruel world"Attack on Titan" you will see all possible deadly sins. People are different: some strive to fight, not sparing their own skin, while others huddle in a corner out of fear, begging for mercy. There are those who voluntarily take on the most difficult and dangerous tasks, and there are freeloaders who are ready to hide behind the very last row of walls. It is especially sad when cowards find themselves in the ranks of management. Oh, how I wanted Eren to blow off the head of the head of the defense of the second wall, who began shooting at the survivors with a cannon, while hiding behind the walls at the first opportunity. And since an anime is capable of causing hatred towards its characters, it means it copes with its task. Making a quality villain is much harder than making positive hero. Not many people realize this.
Flaws
Obviously, all of the above is more than enough to call “Attack on Titan” a worthy candidate for viewing. But there are a number of significant shortcomings in this anime, due to which it is subject to severe criticism. Firstly, as I already noted, there is a sharp plot slowdown in the second part of the anime. The way the heroes on horseback spend an entire episode running away from the titan, while exchanging arrogant phrases, cannot but infuriate. Here's the truth, just like in Naruto: one character says a phrase, then the camera pans over the rest of the conversation participants for a minute. Then some minor action occurs, and again the camera pans over each character, showing the changed expression on their faces.
The second disadvantage I’ll call it pretentiousness. This is again the problem with the second half of the anime. Since there are fewer events, the free time needs to be filled with something. The writers solved this problem in the most in a simple way: added a bunch of unnecessary chatter on the topic of high matters. All these show-offs and mental anguish caused me nothing but irritation.
And finally, sometimes in anime humor appears, which is completely out of place. Here people are being torn to pieces, and you are making jokes. I first noticed this in the episodes about the camp, where the heroes learn the skills of fighting titans. Yes, it is clear that in this way the anime creators are trying to make the characters closer to the viewer. But jokes about, excuse me, farts look absolutely ridiculous. Thank God this will be kept to a minimum in the future.
Ratings
Characters - 7.5. There are many of them and they are different. The emphasis between the main characters is very skillfully placed, each receives the necessary attention, but does not have time to get bored. The secondary characters turned out to be undeveloped.
Plot - 7.0. If the first part of the season can be safely called ideal, then the second merges into something mediocre and very viscous. It's a shame that this happened, but what can you do? The thirst for money will spoil even the most beautiful creation.
Drawing - 10.0. Very high quality and original. Thanks to her, “Attack on Titan” cannot be confused with anything else.
Music - 10.0. A gorgeous soundtrack that perfectly complements what is happening on the screen.
Atmosphericity - 10.0. When watching, it seems that you are experiencing all the events together with the characters, that you are standing next to them, and not watching them from behind the screen. Very rare and valuable quality, which is almost never found in modern anime.
Psychology - 7.0. Sometimes the characters behave completely inappropriately, but in general human psychology is shown well.
Conclusion
So, the anime is definitely worth watching. At least the first part of it. Original idea and high-quality implementation take their toll: you don’t notice how you turn on and watch episode after episode. And if so, then what disadvantages can we talk about? For every shortcoming, Attack on Titan has a ton of positives. In general, if you haven’t watched this anime yet, take note of it. Especially considering that the second season is expected to be released in 2016.
Wine of the month! Wine of the season! Wine of the year! Wine of the century!
I listened enough and decided to form my own opinion.
Now I'll try to organize it.
Japan is a country where highly developed high tech in which they are widely used latest discoveries physics, chemistry and biology. To institutes and enterprises that deal scientific discoveries and their introduction into production is underway best students technical universities land of the rising sun.
But where do the worst go? The answer has been received! They sit down to draw manga.
More violations of laws natural sciences, and I haven’t seen banal logic in any title yet. In any case, pretending to be serious.
No, if in some “Zarazhika” they stick a plug into a person (Where do they stick it? Hussars, KEEP UP!) to create for him Have a good mood and increasing the tone of the body, then it’s a no brainer - this is banter and irony.
But here! First they tell us the HISTORY! They say people lived without grieving, but a hundred years ago giant NECs came and devoured a bunch of people. And those who were not devoured settled behind GIANT walls. The level of technology is the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century. There are breech-loading guns, there are shotguns, there is SPM - the Spider-Man system, which violates all the laws of physics, chemistry and biology.
People, of course, are conformists by nature, but not undertaking ANYTHING, with the exception of guerrilla attacks by the Reconnaissance Detachment (of which there were only 56 in a hundred years), is the behavior of vegetables, not people.
But here in the very first episode we are shown that these HEX-i do not want to leave the peaceful garden alone and come to harvest. With the help of an Uberwaffle, they broke down the gates, devoured 10 thousand vegetables, drove over a million behind the walls and reduced the area suitable for life in HALF!
What are people doing? They send HEX another 250 tons of vegetables. Sorry, did you say people? Come on, come on. People don't behave like that.
On internal territory(Sheena) has a population of 200 thousand. On the outer one (Maria) 1,250,000, on the middle one (Rose) according to extrapolation, no less than a million.
Now imagine a country that can afford to lose a tenth of its adult population in one day? On one's own. Pol Pot cries and declares himself a sucker.
Because of this, either oh...v, or having eaten too much, they take a break for four years.
What do people do who have been demonstratively shown all the..., sorry, wrongness of the ostrich's position? Everyone flocks to the machine as one and forges weapons of victory? Are they conducting mass mobilization? Yeah, just a minute!
Local vegetable ostriches are quietly resting on their laurels, with the exception of frost-bitten reconnaissance detachments.
But it turned out to be HEH and they didn’t attack because it was necessary to give the GG time to grow up, to train to control the CMP system (Matthego Spider-Man). At the same time, delivering a couple of lulz to the audience while mastering this system.
First training: Everyone hang on to the system!
Everyone is hanging, one GG hits his head on the ground!
People in unison: Loser!
GG goes to train dark night. He hangs for a couple of seconds and again hits his head on the ground.
Everyone who saw it in unison: Loser!
Second training: Everyone hang on the system!
Everyone hangs, GG hangs for n-twenty seconds and hits his head on the ground AGAIN!
And only now the “wise” mentor does what he should have done from the very beginning - checks this cunning ChMP! Voila - it's faulty!
People in unison: WOW! He hung on the faulty henna for n-twenty seconds! He is cool!
This is how the Chosen are created!
Then NEX, and apparently having learned about the coolness of the GG and having waited for it to appear on the wall, they decide to repeat the hype of four years ago and again destroy the gate. The battle is in the Crimea, everything is in smoke, GG desperately saves his friend and then he gets eaten! What was assessed? This is where the movie should have ended, but the mangaka suffered and continues to carry it to this day, and from the traces of his vital activity it is clearly visible that he binged on Evangelion =(
But firstly, the second time Hochma is no longer Hochma, and secondly, the creator of Eve was smart enough not to try to disassemble scientific basis angels down to the cog, because when they told me that titans arise from thin air and therefore they are very LIGHT(!), I finally realized that the author HAD taken physics lessons. Past. From the word absolutely.
For those who didn’t understand the humor and also missed physics, here’s a simple example.
Find a brick wall and take a sledgehammer. Drive as hard as you can up the wall and admire the result. Now take the INFLATABLE sledgehammer...
If you still don’t understand the mangaka’s latest failure, medicine is not yet able to add brains =(
And such blunders two episodes into the third! And there are 25 of them (oh mine brain!)
And in the 25th they give us another failure with the inscription “watch the next season”, because the author didn’t understand what to do next with this compilation of Eve and went to rewatch Evangelion from the beginning.
PS
The only good thing I can mention is the music. The openings are good!
I’ll probably keep silent about the drawing, but I can’t keep silent about GG. The whole time I was watching I was worried about the state of his intestines, because 90 percent. time he walks around with eyes the size of “Where the fuck are the bushes?!” with relatively realistic drawing of the other characters.
Not long ago, some characters "Attack on Titan" got their own line of perfumes. Fragrances were pioneers "Eren", "Mikasa" And "Levi". They are intended to reflect the personalities of the characters.
"Eren" smells of bergamot, lemon, lime and mint, with added cardamom, nutmeg and anise. There are also scents of cedar, sandalwood and musk. It was designed to reflect Eren's straightforward personality and determination in destroying the Titans.
"Mikasa"– aroma of black currant, raspberry and rosehip. The heart of the fragrance is formed by plum, lilies of the valley and rose. The leading role in the composition was given to notes of cedar and musk. This reflects Mikasa's calm composure, except for the time she fights for Eren. The scent is meant to give an insight into her hidden femininity.

1 / 5
Eren Yeager (Japanese: エレン・イェーガー Eren Ie:ga:) - main character stories. Idealistic and impulsive, a maximalist, Eren strives to destroy giants and explore the world. His philosophy is “Fighting is life, losing is death.” At the age of 9, he saved Mikasa, a girl whose family was killed by slave traders. Ranked only fifth among the graduating cadets of his group, as he has no special talents in the field of combat skills, but he compensates for this with great diligence and determination.
During the battle in Trost, he discovers the ability to transform into a 15-meter giant. At first, the main character could not completely control the summoned titan, but after long training he received wide range abilities and absolute control. When the giant can no longer function, Eren emerges from the back of the titan's neck (the weak point of every titan), where his body merges with the spine. Later he discovers the ability to control giants. His father Grisha disappeared after the fall of Shiganshina, leaving Eren the key to a room in the basement of their house, which he kept locked, and containing some kind of secret. Later it turns out that he could turn into a giant.

It is unknown how the titans appeared on Earth. The smallest are 3 meters tall, and the largest known titan - Colossus - is about 60 meters. Some titans are very similar to humans, some have a head or torso that is disproportionately huge. It is known that a titan does not require food or water to survive. Their main source of energy is the sun, otherwise they hibernate. Time that titanium is active after it stops receiving sunlight depends on the size of titanium, the larger it is, the longer it remains active. The temperature of titanium is so high that contact with the body can cause burns, and when titans are wounded, steam escapes from the body. Despite their enormous size, the weight of titans is incredibly light. If you cut off part of a titan's body, it will quickly recover, however, if you cut out the part between the back of the head and the base of the titan's neck, then it dies. It is known that in fact, some titans can take human form (Eren, Annie, Bertholdt, Reiner, Ymir, Frida (Historia's half-sister), Gregory (Eren's father), Zeke). IN human form their bodies quickly regenerate, releasing steam. However, simple titans do not distinguish such “people” and try to eat them, like the rest. In order to take on Titan form, they need to wound themselves and concentrate on specific purpose. The body itself ends up in the titanium’s neck - precisely in the vulnerable part. It is unknown if normal titans can have humans in their necks, or if they were humans in the past. Connie, seeing the titan on the destroyed home, noted that the creature bore a striking resemblance to his mother. In the manga, there is a special type of titan that looks like a monkey, has intelligence and is able to speak, however, its motives were no different from ordinary titans. He is 17 meters tall, incredibly strong and accurate, and is also capable of controlling ordinary titans through intimidation. This is a "beast titan" who is Zeke Yeager, the son of Grisha Yeager and Eren's half-brother. In the process of studying the titans, a theory arose that they were all people, and that if a person long time arrives in the titanium’s neck, it is “assimilated,” that is, it finally merges with the spine. It has been noticed that titans are both normal and abnormal (not similar in activity), they are also capable of jumping after a victim or running on all 4 legs like a dog, they are extremely dangerous because of their activity.

YMIR AND THE WORLD BEHIND THE WALLS:
★ origin of the Giants
★ Great Giant War
★ the world behind the walls
★ Progenitor Titan power and Coordinate
★ Invasion targets Bertolt Hoover, Reiner Brown, Annie LeonhartDoes everyone remember how the first season of the series began? Since Eren's friend Armin Arleth is teased for his belief that there is life outside the walls. And in fact, it exists.
The history of the emergence of Intelligent Giants begins with Ymir Fritz. A young royal girl makes a deal with a demon, gaining power from him Giant Progenitor. Ymir's power was so great that with her help Eldia was able to capture another country - Marley.
But after the death of Ymir Fritz, her power was divided between 9 Giants, then formed Eldian Empire. For many centuries, the Eldian Empire waged war with Marley, almost completely destroying her nation and capturing the entire continental continent. The Eldian Empire has repeatedly resorted to genocide against Marley.
One of the 9 Titans could have "Coordinate", a special power that made it possible to control not only the Titans, but also the memory of people. Soon, strife began in the country. The power of Ymir was passed on from ruler to ruler until it passed to To the 145th King of the Fritz family, who inherited the power of the Progenitor Titan. He is also the First King.
Out of greed and desire to rule alone, the First King moves the capital of the state to the island Paradis, not caring at all about maintaining order in Eldia, which was what his ancestors had been doing for centuries.
The previously disadvantaged Marleyans begin to rebel against the Eldians, thereby beginning Great War Titans. Marley manages to capture 7 of the 9 Giants from Eldia and thereby turn the tide of the war in her favor. To protect himself, the First King, using the power of the Coordinate, controls the Colossal Giants, lining them up in three rings, thereby forming three walls: Maria, Rose, Sheena.
The First King told the rulers Marley, that if they try to continue the war, he will use the power of the Coordinate and release the Titans from the walls. The king erased the memory of all the inhabitants behind the walls, replacing it with the knowledge that the entire world outside the walls was captured by the Giants and there were no more surviving people except them. The only ones who are not subject to manipulation of consciousness are Asians and the Ackerman family.
Marlia, in herself, is very developed country: electricity, cars, houses and all kinds technical equipment, all this allows you to surpass the Eldians. But under the island of Paradis there is a huge reserve of minerals and, on reflection, the government of Marley sends its soldiers beyond the walls in order to capture the Coordinate: Bertolt Hoover, Rainer Braun, Annie Leonhart and Marcel(who was eaten by Ymir).WHO ARE THE TITANS?
Once upon a time, before the main events of the series began, the project was founded "Destruction of Humanity". Titans were created by project participants from ordinary people. Eat known method transformation into an unreasonable Giant. It is enough to inject a person with Titan spinal fluid for him to transform. But it remains questionable how Connie Springer's mother became the Giant.WHERE DID THE SENTIENT TITANS COME FROM?
You and I now know that all Titans are people. Transformation into an intelligent Giant is similar to transformation into an unreasonable one. To gain the powers of an intelligent Titan and the ability to return to human form, you must devour the owner of the power of an intelligent Giant. For example, Grisha Yeager– Eren’s father passed on his power to his son, turning him into an unreasonable Giant and allowing him to eat himself. It is not necessary to absorb a person entirely. Enough to eat it cerebrospinal fluid. The very origin of the Giants goes back to ancient times and Ymir Fritz, who was the first human giant. WHY ARE THERE TITANS IN THE WALLS?
The 145th King of the Fritz family, also known as the First King, built three walls: Maria, Rose and Sheena, for the safety of his people. By resorting to force Progenitor Titan, The 145th King ordered them to form a colony, covering themselves with armor. In the event of an attack from outside, the First King will awaken the Titans from the walls using the Coordinate.BEAST-LIKE GIANT - WHO IS HE?
Zeke Yeager- he is also the general of the Marley squad, represented by Bertolt Hoover, Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart and Marcel, who were sent beyond the walls to capture the Coordinate. He is a Hairy, Beast-like Giant and also Eren's half-brother, from Grisha Yeager and Dina Fritz (Grisha's first wife). WHAT IS IN EREN'S BASEMENT?
This question interests many fans of Invasion of the Giants - what's in Eren Yeager's basement?? In his basement, Eren's father hid three books. One of them contains a photograph of Grisha, Dina and their son Zik. On the reverse side there is a note that humanity, outside the walls, has not become extinct. Books, most likely, on the history of the world and Marley in particular.SOME GUESSES AND MY ASSUMPTIONS:
Let me make a few assumptions. I want to warn you that they do not have an exact basis and you have every right not to rely on them as reliable information.
What did Ymir read on the can of food that made Reiner surprised?
Does everyone remember the episode of the second season of the anime, where the reconnaissance squad is in Utgard Castle? Ymir reads "unknown writing" on a can of canned food. Ymir was born and lived for a long time in Marley, before she was injected with the serum and thrown off the wall. It is likely that a separate written language and Reiner realized that the girl knew too much.Why do they need Christa (Historia)?
The power of the Giants was passed down from generation to generation. Frida Reiss is Historia's half-sister and the last bearer of the Coordinate. Probably, the Marleyans believed that it was Frida’s sister who got the Coordinate.DATA:
