I think Attack on Titan is actually a bad anime, however, it is pretty enough to make up for its glaring flaws. The plot is predictable i.e. most plot twists would difficult to not figure out beforehand, the characters are linear and the author seems to think that backstory counts as character development, not to mention that most of the characters are only thinly veiled stereotypes. However, it is very very well animated, the action sequences are nice and that goes for miles to cover up its massive flaws. I'll keep watching, but I think you would be hard pressed to call the writing of this anime 'good' on any meaningful level.
