Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama (2010)

My Rating: 5/5

I had finished to watch the first season of its animation and it was absolutely amazing. Each episode will turn your heart floundered; gawking intently by the monitor and wonder what happens next, who's going to be killed next, what strategem soldiers would do to keep their respective walls stolidly standing and secured people from colossal titans whose intimidating size and cannibalistic appetite will get rid of human existence in a nick of time, crushed them into pieces, eat them flesh by flesh. You would have winced aback watching humans get slaughtered. I loved it. I've been through monotonous job lately since class has intitiated in the past few weeks, but this anime and manga had literally kept my eyes wide open.

What makes this story conspicuous from the rest is not just all about the fantastic arts embellished throughout the volumes, but the ripple of heavy drama per se. It has political involvement as well, religious members were monitored by the authorities for the possibility of committing mischief. Who's there has capability to annihilate their prey aside from asking God's mercy? Who's there to emulate enemies run away from suffocation inside walls and be finally gained freedom? Its solutions are slippery somehow and only Eren, the main protagonist, and his key dangling which has been turned over by his father before he disappeared could mitigate their predicaments.

My favorite character is Hange Zoe. She's ebullient toward titans, studying its behaviours and somehow decipher their way of survival other than butchered humans. She makes me become madly insane. I laughed when she laughed and I cried when she cried for her two beloved titans were getting killed after they have been captured. Those two were under further observations, by the way. But the traitor! Urgh!!!

I can't wait to see the second season next year. Sooo excited! I highly recommend it to people of same age. Go, grab it!
