The mystery of what the titans are is pulling me along.
But I don't see anything great about the animation. I don't know how many sequences are just shots of character's faces quivering or thinking to themselves. Slow pans of a single frame. The zipping through the city was pretty cool the first time I saw it, but I'm pretty sure they just reused the same sequence every time but with a different character layered on top. I was watching the first couple episodes back to back and thought they just went over and and under the same buildings every time even though they were suppose to be in a different place.
I only looked into it because everyone said it was different. But come on, it's basically flying ninjas and giant monsters wrecking shit. And you know, the teary eye promises to get stronger or protect so and so. I'd call the main characters "typical teenagers" except for their not so innocent childhood. That episode, something small killing something big, I hope the subtle symbolism was intended and that there are more episodes like it.
Someone said the Female characters are written so well. I think they meant to say they aren't sexualized anime cliches. But they're still quirky. I'm at episode 18 and I think there's only 2 female characters that have ever said anything important. The rest are just faces for the main characters to get attached to and cry over when they die. Cause lets face it, this is going to be one of those shows where everyone dies.
