"Attack On Titan" Is One Of The Greatest Anime Ever — Heres Why

There's been some great anime to have come out in recent years but none like Attack on Titan, in my opinion. The evolution of these characters has been nothing short of amazing, from the animation to the overall story arc.
Before you pile it on in the comments, I mentioned in the headline that it's ONE of the greatest anime ever, not THE greatest, although the argument can be made.
I remember being told about the show when it first came out on Netflix and being told it's like The Walking Dead but with giants. That immediately caught my attention since I was a massive fan of The Walking Dead show and graphic novels at the time. After watching the first episode, I was hooked; I was invested in seeing how these characters turned out and what this world was about.
Now that I am almost done with the show, I am stunned at how good the character arcs have been and how well they expanded on the world each season.
Naruto delivered some great character arcs, but they had many seasons to do so. The fact that we have seen Eren go through the transformation in the time we have seen and not have it feel rushed (I'm looking at you, Game of Thrones) has been excellent.
With all that being said, I figured I could point out some things that stood out to me about this show and why I think the fans have been so taken by this incredible IP.

Wit Studio
My hat goes off to Wit Studio and MAPPA for both having their own unique takes on the anime but both presenting amazing work. Wit Studio is what most people will be familiar with, seeing that they did the first 60 episodes, which are the three first seasons.
This is a show that has characters zipping around gigantic Titans and slashing away while also delivering on some gruesome deaths and destruction. I do enjoy the continuation of CGI that MAPPA has used in this final season, making some of the epic battles we've seen so far even grander.
I remember there being a concern when the news came out that Wit Studio would be handing over the reins to MAPPA for the final season, considering the time they had to do it. Seeing that MAPPA is also the studio that does Jujutsu Kaisen, it's no surprise that they were able to get it done when they did.
What did you think of this season of Attack on Titan? Are you excited for Part 3, or did you wish they finished it this time around? Let us know in the comments below, and drop your favorite anime with a similar protagonist who turns heel.
