Thoughts

This isn't bad, I'm going to give it some more time but I don't feel drawn into this show or compelled to watch it. I am curious to see how the fights against the Titans go. I assume that Eren and the others won't get slaughtered. The way that omni-directional mobility gear, the devices the soldiers use to fight the Titans and get high up in the air) reminds me a bit of Spider-Man in cartoons.
