Animation Opening Review

For this review I chose a big favorite of mine also among the first 3 anime I ever watched and many others now that its popularity is growing rapidly.

Attack On Titan

Unfortunately there are no proper full videos of the beginning scene so I will have to resort to screenshots as well as what little of video there is (dont worry it kills me to spam pictures)



At the beginning it shows a scene which starts out pretty nice with two Ducks flying however the chilling music also suggests otherwise.



People are obviously looking at something both puzzled and scared...










The Ducks then fly past a giant hand which I dunno about you but it tells me something is about to go down (would also make me scream and run to the next wall)








 It then shows the three main characters looking rather scared and very surprised (why are they not running?)
 And the Narrator (which happens to be one of those main characters) says a couple of chilling sentences.

Which not only sends a shiver down your spine but also introduces the name of the Antagonists and shows one of the most major and well know ones as well.

 And then just to make things seem even worse for them it then shows the size of this "Titan" (which you can probably imagine it coming in like a wrecking ball) but before it does anything else it cuts to the scene of "The Legion" riding through a forest in the rain... (may as well be the tears of the fans of this show however)








This is most of that very scene
Enjoy!

In this it shows the kind of action we will be seeing later on in the show not only that but the fact that it cuts out just as something is about to happen leaves you wanting to stay and watch more to either find out what happened or just keep on watching because it looks good.

Well I think thats all about what I got for this review so I hope you enjoyed it and if you havent watched this show I hope it encouraged you to check it out.

Tokyo Ghoul Review







From my understanding Tokyo Ghoul is originally a Manga but created into an Anime and was first aired 3rd of July 2014 and was directed by Shuhei Morita and the Manga was written by Sui Ishida two companies produce this show however Studio Pierrot and FUNimation.






Correct my if I'm wrong in any of that




The style of animation is... well Anime which is a Japanese 2D animation style which is usually Japanese to start off with until English Dubs are made. Anime comes with awesome themes, brilliant characters and it looks basic and simple yet easily grabs your attention.




I love this show and most of the characters especially Touka 
From my point of view people reckon its "slow paced" but would you rather eat all your lollies on the way home? or wait till you are sitting on your couch digging in? I guess what I'm trying to say is that the show goes a few episodes without any decent fighting scenes but it makes the wait definitely worth it, there seems to be very little character development however that isnt always a bad thing, certain events happen near the end of season one that leads to possibly my favorite change of character in all shows I have seen and I have a feeling that person will not be the only one going through that kind of change.




Thank you for reading this hopefully it put aside any negative feelings towards this show, makes you want to check it out or just simply filled your head with a little information.
