It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

People tend to criticize animes for their tendency to extend their duration with fillers or with not so "useful" episodes. The "Attack on Titan" anime is an example of the opposite: it's concise and direct to the point.This abridgement version of the episodes 1-13 proves that they have managed to go one step further, summing up all of the fundamental elements of the history in a marvelous way. The transitions are smooth, the art and the animation are even more beautiful, the history didn't suffer from the shortening and the emotions remained striking!I definitely recommend it to everyone, even those who have watched the first season. It's an awesome recollection.
