[edit]

In the first season, the protagonist, Eren Yeager, witnesses his mother dying after being eaten by man-eating giant humanoid creatures called Titans. This becomes Eren's motivation to develop his combat skills in order to fight the Titans. Later on, Eren is eaten by a Titan himself but discovers that he can transform into a Titan, control it, and fight as he would as a human. Eren learns how to use his newfound powers to combat the Titans and continues his training as more Titans continue to flood into his homeland.

In its two-part third season, the Survey Corps are hunted as Eren and another member are wanted. Later, they defend their hometown in a series of battles against the strongest Titans. Afterwards, reeling from the devastating battles, the Survey Corps members uncover the truth about their world and humanity in general.

Season 4

[edit]

Its fourth season, split into four parts and subtitled The Final Season, takes place four years after Eren and his compatriots learn the entire truth about their situation. A new cast of characters, part of the enemy's elite Warrior Unit, battles against the Survey Corps as each side seeks to protect their home and ideals.

Critical response

[edit]

Attack on Titan received widespread critical acclaim and has been praised by many critics as one of the greatest anime series of all time.[91][92][93] Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the show an overall score of 96%.[94] Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network described the first two episodes of the anime adaptation, saying, "It's hard to say what kind of show Titan would be without the operatic over-direction of Tetsuro Araki, but with him in charge, it's a clenched fist of a series: always tensed up to strike and prone to bludgeoning us when it does."[95] Other critics from Anime News Network praised much of the series. Rebecca Silverman said it "is both gorgeous and appalling in its visuals," and "an excellent mix of what 18th century Gothic novelist Ann Radcliffe defined as horror versus terror: the one is physical, making you want to look away, and the other is intellectual, making you want to know what's going to happen next."[96] Carlo Santos noted that "few [apocalyptic action shows] get as close to perfection as Attack on Titan does". Santos described it as "a masterpiece of death and destruction" after watching only the first episode.[97] Theron Martin of Anime News Network praised the musical score and the "intense, impactful first episode" despite his feeling that it has "limited animation". Martin also compared Attack on Titan's vibe and visual aesthetic to Claymore.[98]

John Sinnott of DVD Talk called the series one of the best ones he has ever watched and one "that anime fans should not miss".[99] Maya Phillips of New York magazine and Vulture praised the uniqueness of the series, stating, "In our current age of terrifying dystopian realities, it's hard to find a dystopian show with something new to deliver - and yet here it is."[100] Phelim O'Neill of The Guardian, he praised the animation of the series as "spellbinding... It's all wonderfully acrobatic and intense".[101] Regarding the climactic episodes of the third season's second half, Manga.Tokyo called Isayama a "genius" for using the revelations about Grisha's past to smoothly link present events to the beginning of the story.[102] The series' handling of complex themes such as war, genocide, and imperialism has been the subject of much critical analysis. The portrayal of such concepts has been described as timely with respect to real world events.[103] The anime's allusions to the Holocaust and other historical crises have been praised for their sociopolitical commentary and depth, but have also been described as not taking a clear stance on these issues.[104][105]

Crunchyroll listed Attack on Titan in their "Top 25 best anime of the 2010s".[106] IGN and Polygon also listed Attack on Titan among the best anime series of the 2010s.[107][108] Lauren Orsini of Forbes included Attack on Titan on her list of the best anime series of the decade.[109] Esquire named it one of the best anime series of 2023, while IGN and Men's Health named it one of the best of all time.[91][92][110]

Censorship

[edit]
  • China: In 2015, the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China forbade distribution of "Attack on Titan," along with 38 other anime and manga titles, which were deemed to feature scenes of violence, pornography, terrorism and crimes against public morality, in an effort to "protect the healthy development of youth".[111]
  • Malaysia: As part of Malaysia's censorship laws, it is required that parts of bodies which are considered indecent be censored. In Attack on Titan, the corpse of the Titan can be seen wearing a bodysuit.[112]
  • Russia: In July 2021, the government of the Russian Federation had banned the distribution of Attack on Titan among various other titles citing "concern for the welfare of youth."[113][114] Following the military invasion of Ukraine by Russia that began on February 24, 2022, the series distributor Crunchyroll shut down its subsidiaries of Wakanim and Crunchyroll EMEA in the country by its parent company Sony, due to international sanctions imposed by both Japan and the United States, thus preventing Russian viewers from legally streaming Attack on Titan.[115]

Viewership

[edit]

Attack on Titan has been described as one of the most popular anime series.[116] Vice wrote that it "[catapulted] anime into the mainstream in a way few other series have been able to outside of Japan."[117] NPR noted that the series played a role in the broader popularization of anime.[118] In 2021, during the first part of the final season, Attack on Titan was the most viewed television program in the United States, before it was overtaken by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier shortly before the mid-season finale.[119][120] Attack on Titan broke the Guinness World Record for the "most in-demand anime TV show";[121] it was also the world's "Most in-demand animated TV show", until it was surpassed by Jujutsu Kaisen in 2024.[122][123] The show is also the only anime series to be in TV Time's top 50 most followed TV series ever, currently at number 47, making it one of the few Non-American titles and the only Japanese title in this list.[124] In 2022, Attack on Titan won the award of "Most In-Demand TV Series in the World 2021" in the Global TV Demand Awards. Attack on Titan became the first ever non-English language series to earn the title of World's Most In-Demand TV Show, previously held by only The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.[125]
