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.

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.

The character development, storytelling, worldbuilding are top notch. The arc variability is commendable, all of them being great.

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 Same story as its predecessor anime
Con It ended
While this may seem an odd con, and the show has a fairly satisfying conclusion, the fact is that despite ongoing manga releases, this adaptation has ended without any apparent interest in a nearby continuation.
