Eren escapes with his adopted sister Mikasa and best friend Armin further into the walls.
One day, a titan with armored skin knocks down the wall and kills a lot of Eren’s village – including his mother. Why they do this is unknown, but they nearly wiped out the entire human race. Let’s start with Attack on Titan first, because it was the anime that was released first AOT: 2013 Seraph: 2015) and the one I watched first.Īttack on Titan follows Eren Yeager – the son of a doctor who is stuck inside high walls to keep out the Titans – large humanoid creatures who eat people. Hopefully I can explain it more throughout this article. Story, Characters, Art/Animation, Sound and Themes.īoth animes do a lot of things right, and a lot of another things wrong but it’s certain other elements that makes make AOT stand out for me. I will say this before we go any further – I really enjoyed both animes, however I do prefer AOT over Seraph, and I will explain those reasons in the following way: Granted, they are made by the same studio ( Wit Studio, who produced Koutetsujou no Kabaneri ( Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, which is another anime that is said to be a wannabe of AOT) and will be producing the new Laughing under the Clouds movie due out in December) but that’s because studios like to produce similar things – take book publishers for example, as they often publish books in the same or similar genre, but they’re done by different authors, meaning there may be similar ideas and such, but it does not necessarily mean that they are the same. So, after watching both seasons of both animes and watching additional content, I’ve decided on something: I think Seraph and AOT are similar, but not the same. I immediately disagreed – they were similar, yes, but not the same. One review commented on how the first episode of Seraph of the End was a copy of the first episode of Attack on Titan. My friend had actually bought it for me as a birthday present so with nothing new to watch, I decided to give it a go with not really knowing much of the story.Īfter watching the first two episodes, I updated my MyAnimeList page and scrolled through the reviews – they were mostly OK, but one really struck me. One of them was Seraph of the End – this wasn’t recommended, but it was something I wanted to watch after I had seen a cosplay (that won the competition) at Hyper Japan last year, and was intrigued. Not until I went through my pile of DVDs my friends had bought me of recommended anime I should watch. So, after the anticipated second season of Attack on Titan finishing not too long ago, I didn’t really have any other anime to watch.
