Reception[]
The anime series has been successful in Japan, with average sales of 52,067 across 9 volumes, with a total of 468,603 as of August 2016[update].[42] It was the number one selling TV anime of 2013 in Japan[43] and is currently the eighth best selling anime of 2010's.[44] It has also been very successful in the U.S. with sales of at least 200,000.[45] It was also the number one streaming anime from Funimation in 2014[46] and the number one fan favorite Funimation home video released of 2014.[47] The anime adaptation won multiple prizes during the 3rd Newtype Anime Awards, including Best Director, Best Script, Best Soundtrack, Best Theme Song, Top Female Character and Title of the Year.[48] It received the award for Best TV Animation at the 2013 Animation Kobe Awards.[49] It received the award for Animation of the Year at the 2014 Tokyo Anime Award, along with, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Music.[50] It won the 2013 Digital Contents of the Year Award at Japan's 19th annual Association of Media in Digital (AMD) Awards.[51]
The first and second seasons of Attack On Titan were met with overwhelming acclaim with praise for the storyline, writing, animation, action sequences, characters, and dub performances, though some criticized its dark tone.[citation needed]
Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network was sharply critical of the first two episodes of the anime adaptation. He did praise the show for "making giants freaky again", but added that "bringing back the terror of the fee-fi-fo-fum set does not a good show make". Kimlinger criticized Araki's direction, saying he "clearly intends it to be powerful and unsettling, but it's just crude and unpleasant."[52] However, other critics from Anime News Network praised much of the series. Rebecca Silverman said it "is both gorgeous and appalling in its visuals", and "an excellent mix of what 18th century Gothic novelist Ann Radcliffe defined as horror versus terror: the one is physical, making you want to look away, and the other is intellectual, making you want to know what's going to happen next."[53] Carlo Santos noted that "few [apocalyptic action shows] get as close to perfection as Attack on Titan does". Santos described it as "a masterpiece of death and destruction" after watching only the first episode.[54] Theron Martin of Anime News Network praised the musical score and the "intense, impactful first episode" despite his feeling that it has "limited animation". Martin also compared Attack on Titan's vibe and visual aesthetic to Claymore.[55] John Sinnott of DVD Talk called the series one of the best ones he has ever watched and one "that anime fans should not miss."[56]
