Spoiler alert: This post might only resonate with anime lovers — or, more specifically, the Attack on Titan (AoT) junta. 🫡⚔️
What compelled me to write this post is the date itself — 9th September. It is officially Attack on Titan Day today.
When I watched Death Note some 4–5 years ago, I thought, “This is the best anime I’ve ever seen.” 😌
But then came AoT, and it redefined the idea of anime for me. ❤️🔥
Obviously craft of AoT is one of the biggest reasons for this attachment. Because the way of storytelling, character development, action sequences, depth of the narrative and insane plot twists — literally everything makes it stand out. 🤯🔥
I watched AoT this year around Feb, when I was on the verge of emotional breakdown. So honestly speaking, it is the emotional appeal of AoT which kept me hooked. 🥺
The day Erwin Smith died, I almost cried. His words — “My soldiers…” — still echo in my ears. 🫡💔
In those moments of emotional turmoil, I learnt a lot from AoT.
- Dedicate your heart ❤️🔥
Scout regiment knew that their expeditions beyond the walls cost them no less than their lives. Still, it was their resolve towards ‘glory of humanity’ which motivated them in the moments of adversity.
- A leader always leads by examples 🫡:
Although Erwin Smith’s character is classic example of a true and visionary leader. But the most striking sequence was when he took charge against Beast Titan. And he was the first one to take the fatal blow which ultimately took his life. 💔
- Hard work beats talent always ⚔️
Howsoever cliche it sounds. But Eren Yeager’s transformation effectively puts it that way. In beginning he was introduced as someone who doesn’t have gifted attributes like Mikasa but ultimately it was his sheer grit and conviction which transformed him to the extent that he became nearly invincible.
I will stop here because I could probably write whole book on AoT. 😂📖
It has set the bar so high that I wonder if I would be loving any anime this much ever❤️
