There are some anime series which make some impact on viewers. Steins;Gate is not such case (nah, just kidding).
Let me put this on the table right now: the beginning is boring. For some reason, both in the main anime series, 1st OVA and one the films I watched, the story starts in a boring environment full of weird characters. But this weirdness in them makes them special - makes them human.

Attack on Titan - seeing beyond violence
Hi all.
I've decided to continue the anime/manga review trend - recently I watched two anime series, and one of them is Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin).
I started watching it mostly because I had heard the name before and someone posted a meme on the interwebz asking who would win in a fight - Kirito (from Sword Art Online) or Eren Jeager (from AoT).
Shortly, AoT follows the story of three friends who fight giant humanoids who feed on humans while exhibiting a creepy grin - titans. The titans appeared several hundreds of years ago, and led manking to the brink of extinction. In order to survive, the humans build 50 meter-tall walls and for 100 years lived away from threat within them. One day, however, mankind remembered the fear and terror caused by titans when an exceptionally tall titan opened the outer wall. The three main characters, Eren, Mikasa and Armin, eventually lost they're families and joined the military forces in order to fight the giant beats.
There is little knowledge about titans, their origin and why they eat humans. However, an unexpected turn of events during a battle challenges the formerly clear definition of humans and titans (If you are interested and can handle violence and blood, go watch it!).
I knew it was a survival themed anime, so I jumped ahead

Ghost in the Shell - cyberpunk watched for the first time
Long time no post!
I decided to remove the Sci&Tech tab for a while, since I'm not posting anything in it (well, the whole blog hasn't been edited for a while now anyway...).
With the little time I have (obviously an excuse - sure, I have little time but I kinda waste it x) ), many of my hobbies have been postponed, but maybe it's time to write about something I've always enjoyed: manga and anime.
I have only recently watched an anime film referred to as a masterpiece - Ghost in the Shell.
I had NEVER watched cyberpunk stuff. Also, my experience with seinen stuff (for an older audience, as opposed to shonen which is more mainstream), so you could say my opinion is pretty unbiased.
