Attack on Titan:

It is a amazingly mature series, and does not try to pull any "moe anime~~" shenanigans, with the entire series having a premise of battling man-eating Titans by in actuality being carried by its superb characters, and their interactions.

The characters in this show are written so well, and relatable that it scares me. Plenty of times I've looked at certain characters reactions to certain things, and realized that's exactly how I'd feel if I was in that situation. More than a few times I've actually felt EXACTLY like how the characters were feeling. Nailing that sort of characterization, and development is not easy, and I applaud Attack on titan massively for it.

I wouldn't really say I was emotionally attached to any character. I was just saying that amount that I could relate to characters reacting to events happening is IMO very realistic, and hits home, because in some situations how the characters describe how they feel is exactly how I've felt in some real life situations.

Swap out a couple different aspects, and they might very well have been writing a biography on my life during that specific happening.

Finally something more reasonable to watch, but still this show is too overrated, it shows some flaws, i would give it 8/10 (current opinion, the show hasnt ended yet)for it's realism and good visuals.

Well...realistic character interactions mostly (Save a couple of exaggerations here and there). Nothing else about the show has any business being realistic, and requires complete suspension of disbelief lol
