Pros
Pro Complex plot
Pretty much every character you see has a backstory and there are many easter eggs which you will be able to catch only after knowing the entire story.
Pro Intense
This show keeps you on your toes, and very rarely has any sort of break between plot points.
Pro Superb story line
Whatever you are predicting is waste of breath, the shock moments are awesome. Very great animation and music. Best series ever created.
Pro Epic voice acting and music timings
These Voice actors gave their top most to give a masterpiece. Music in Attack on Titan is not only played in the right place at the right time but sometimes also not played at all, which gives even more emotion to the scene.
Pro Best series
There are too many haters that say story is empty or something which is until season 2. Violence is shown to make world feel cruel and more real. After we have certain lead characters, their stories are justified, simple and complex at the same time. Who is wrong, who is right, answer is nobody and everybody.
Pro Gets better and better
Every season adds on to itself and creates something new. Each season is better than the previous one.
Pro Psychological thriller elements
While many anime tend to focus on epic battles, this one is almost entirely mental. Some of the biggest happenings are mostly relating to characters' thoughts and plans, yet it sill manages to draw in the viewers.
Cons
Con Lots of death
Unlike most anime where characters will get resurrected or are falsely presumed to be dead, in this show characters die left, right and centre. This is a turn off for some viewers who prefer to get attached to characters.
Con Too much violence
Unlike other anime's , this one has got a lot of violent scenes. But it is necessary to show how cruel the world truly is.
Con Pacing in season 1
It is the only problem in season 1.
Con Second part not as good as the first
The show follows the rise and fall of the main characters. Generally, the first half of the show is considered the best part of it for this reason.
Con Plot armor
Plot armors are fine but this whole series is just a plot armor for the main character Light Yagami.
