This series tries hard to give the feeling 'Attack on Titan' has by presenting individuals fighting for humanity against an enemy with no fear/pain/individuality; but sadly has WAAAY too many holes in its poor plot and has poorly scripted attempt at connecting us with the individuals and their heroic sacrifices.
Most of the characterization feels like a needless filler, since they come right before character sacrifice him/herself. It is an attempt at us feeling something for what is about to come, but unfortunately does not do a good job in achieving that.
For the plot holes / poor script: **SPOILER FROM HERE** Characters are 100 people whose mission is to go to Mars, fight primitive cockroach/caveman hybrid enemy and capture samples to bring back to earth as a 3rd mission where first 2 failed.
Selected people go through extremely expensive surgeries to alter their bodies, and sent by extremely expensive spacecrafts. But for some reason fate of humanity is given at the hands of totally random individuals with no military experience/background or even combat tendency; whom are ONLY equipped with mutation based animal based powers which they are not even trained how to use in combat. They are not given even the most basic combat or formation training, and they do NOT have even the most basic weapons, let alone any military vehicles.
They are fighting against primitive cockroach/caveman hybrids on Mars. And that is the problematic part. Their primitive enemy uses tactics, formations, weapons (clubs and slingshots), yet highly advanced humans fight ONLY with bare fists, and whenever it is required to defend against enemy attacks they open up their arms and stand in front of each other to absorb the blow (and die).
Most basic attribute of humanity is its use of tools and intelligence against threats, yet we see none in this series. Good for action, but extremely poor in quality story telling we have enjoyed at series like Attack on Titan.
