We as humans just love watching humanity at the brink of extinction where desperation and insanity are the only tools for one’s survival. A lot of anime lovers complain that the plot of this anime is too cliched but they don’t understand that it serves the entire purpose. Soon after its release, the internet was crowded with its GIFS, trailers, and comments on its bleak and dour entertainment. But it still has a unique dark and sinister feel of its own and that’s probably another aspect of its popularity.Īnother reason why ‘Attack on Titan’ became such a pop culture phenomenon is that it marketed itself really well.

For instance, Eren, the main character of the series, goes in the direction of everything he hates just like Ichigo from Bleach and also his undying faith and optimism like characters of Naruto and Dragon Ball Z. It has its own cliches just like other shounen series. Even when the Titans are not shown on screen, as a viewer you can always sense an underlying fear of these lurking in the shadows which adds to the overall tension and rush. As challenging as it may be to portray them as evil and scary, this anime pulls it off really well and manages to keep you at the edge of your seat with every scene that involves these Titans.

It’s very easy to show a monstrous creature, but in ‘Attack of Titan’ these monsters are nothing but some obscenely large humans. But when it comes down creating terrifying human-like giant creatures, the anime does an incredible job. It’s a little unusual to see humans swinging around like a bunch of monkeys and slashing giants with razor-sharp swords and that’s something more of an acquired taste. Even the action sequences of this show have attracted a lot of viewers because of their high level of fluidity and intense pacing.
