Hi this is a great article, but i think Attack on Titan is a bit heavy for a beginner reader. This is because it has a large plot, can be graphic at times, covers serious topics and is a life changing story. To truly respect the series I would get deeper into the Anime and Manga world, then come back to it when you have a new found respect for: story writing and character development/ writing. You will have a much better experience reading or watching this if you appreciate all the things I just listed. For beginners, I would recommend reading or watching something lighter like, One Punch Man (an action comedy Manga and Anime), Horimiya (a romance Manga and Anime) and Haikyuu (a sports Manga and Anime). For me Attack on Titan is a 10/10 Anime and Manga, I would definitely recommend reading and watching this.
