A terrible review.
So, manga and anime, them Japanese things you hear about so often (or not, I don't know your friend circles personally).
Normally being the girly girl I am (HA!) I read Shoujo and Josei
Seriously, there's usually nothing like an office romance, or slice of life story to keep me suckered into a story, it's the most addicting thing for me.
This is literally my 'manga reading' face.
So anyway, I saw all over my twitter and facebook that people had been watching it, and when I saw my friend Rachie (Claranee (go follow her)) had watched it, I decided to give it a go.
I don't actually know if I regret the decision or not as it has effectively ripped my feelings asunder.
I like to think this is how 'Game of Thrones' fans feel.
The artist likes to weave this wonderful tapestry of a story, lets you fall in love with the characters and when you're sufficiently attached to them, rip your heart out and go 'serves you right for caring'
Anyway I feel like I should probably throw a little bit of a plot in here.
Ok, so in a world that resembles a somewhat dated central European place (I say central European as I'm judging by character names, Jaeger, Leonhardt, etc) and humanity is on the brink of dying out and all the survivors live behind three walls. "Wall Rose, Wall Sina, Wall Maria."
The quality of human life differs between each wall, the space between the first and second wall is pretty poor, between the second and inner wall is somewhat better and the king and all his posse live in the inner wall, which is considered the safest place on Earth.
(PS there are also these monsters called Titans ergo we have the walls.)
The walls are all humanity really have separating them from the Titans. The Titans just appeared one day, and their only objective is to eat humans, they don't attack animals, literally nothing interests them bar eating the humans they come across, it has no biological function, apparently we just taste that damn good.ԅ(≖‿≖ԅ)
Now we come to the protagonists, Eren Jaeger, and his friends who live just by the outermost wall. When we first meet Eren he's with his foster sister Mikassa. Also a point to note is, as a kid Eren is a little brat who don't take no shit from noone. He wants to grow up and join the scouting legion. (The scouting legion are Titan hunters, and pretty much this world's only offence against Titans.)
They go about doing their thing, see the scouting legion return, and meet a town guard; Hannes. The town guards have become nothing more than glorified drunks ignoring their duty to guard the wall from any Titan threats.
"There hasn't been a Titan attack in 100 years"
The final thing i'm going to speak of is my favorite character, Reiner. I'm pretty much going to say he's handsome, that's all I have. He's just my favorite, there are others that are high up my favorites, but just, he's fab. That's all I have. ♥～(‘▽^人)
I'm also going to be cosplaying from the series, i'm hopefully getting my jacket commissioned by the wonderful Lucy, have found my cape, ordered my wig, am picking my lenses, and preparing to do the leather work to be Christa or Annie, and possibly Zoe. I love these ladies so damn much, I will try my best to do a good job. (n˘v˘•)¬
Seriously please go read it, it's so rare I get into something so much, so if I ever recommend you anything it's this series.
Thanks for reading!
