Critical response
The three seasons of Attack on Titan were met with overwhelming acclaim with praise for the storyline, writing, animation, action sequences, characters, and dub performances, though some criticized its dark tone. Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network was sharply critical of the first two episodes of the anime adaptation. He did praise the show for "making giants freaky again", but added that "bringing back the terror of the fee-fi-fo-fum set does not a good show make". Kimlinger criticized Araki's direction, saying he "clearly intends it to be powerful and unsettling, but it's just crude and unpleasant."[69] However, 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."[70] 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.[71] 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 TitanVorlage:'s vibe and visual aesthetic to Claymore.[72]
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."[73] Maya Phillips of New York magazine and Vulture praised the uniqueness of the series as she states, "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."[74] As for Phelim O'Neill of The Guardian, he praised the animation of the series as "Spellbinding... It's all wonderfully acrobatic and intense."[75] Regarding the climactic episodes of the third season's second half, Manga.Tokyo called Isayama a "genius" for the way Attack on Titan handled the revelation about the Grisha's past linked the events with the beginning of the story of the manga.[76]
Crunchyroll listed Attack on Titan in their "Top 25 best anime of the 2010s".[77] IGN and Polygon also listed Attack on Titan among the best anime series of the 2010s.[78][79]
