I just finished it myself and thought it was pretty good but I constantly see it get so many 10's and a lot of praise, it's so popular that Ive seen at least 5 people wearing survey corps t-shirts at the mall today, even walmart has fuckin AOT posters! I mean holy shit, was it that good for some? I mean im not trying to hate or anything since the show was awesome, but my god...

It heavily panders to the western audience fetish for mindless gore and edgy teenagers.

Intense, dark, action-packed, epic...

Giant titans destroying mankind.

Great production values and music.

Not really something that has done in anime before so that's why it gets so much hype. It also helped pull a lot of anime newbies into the anime franchise.

Its overhated because its popular. Its neither as good nor as bad as its fans and haters respectively make it out to be but it was still solid and the 3DMG fights felt pretty unique.

Oh boy it's this thread.

I suppose it's better people bitch about a specific anime they don't like in 1 thread rather than all the others.

As for the question itself, in my opinion I think it deserves all the praise, for me PERSONALLY, it was a 10, that doesn't mean it's flawless (as nothing is), it just means to me, it was masterpiece level good.

im not hating on it obviously, I think it deserves the praise. what im getting at is how it's over hyped to the point where it's the first anime that some people have watched and they claim it to be the best thing ever made even tho they even't even watched other good anime.

yeah but what about all the better anime out there? like HxH 2011, TTGL, fuckin Full metal alchemist brotherhood? I don't ever hear anyone talk about those. every person I meet always talks about AOT or shitty SAO, If I even mention something other than those two they don't know what the fuck im talking about.

Where were you when people where praising fmab, hxh 2011, ttgl ect? All these series got their time when they got a lot of Praise by people. Also dis you check the top anime ranking here on mal? All the series you've listed are rank higher than snk.

You may not believe this, but snk get a lot of hate around the net. Snk is getting a lot of praise because its the new hot series ATM. When it ends a lot of series will take over.

The reason those series are not being talk about that much its because they've ended a long time ago. Duh! Hxh got a lot of praise last year, you probably haven't heard because its not as popular as fmab.

Fmab is rank #1 on mal. Hxh 2011 is rank #5. Snk is rank #41. Snk isn't universally liked.

TTGL is pure nonsense, and not even visually appealing nonsense (well, Yoko is pretty nice). I don't see how it's in a discussion of great anime.

It really annoys me when you hear people say. " its so unfair that snk is the most talk about anime and its getting so much praise than fmab, death note, code geass ect."

When the funny thing is that they probably weren't even into anime when those series where airing. A lot of these series got the same amount of hype as snk probably even more in their time.

Its called trend people. Snk is the new hot series right now just like the many before it. And just like snk another series will take the spot. If everyone would look at it this way, we wouldn't have to go through these repetitive threads.

Im not saying that it doesn't deserve it, im saying its the only anime some people talk about, All i hear is blah blah blah AOT blah blah blah SAO. not saying it's the only popular anime or something, I know it's your favorite anime or whatever but no need to get all upset. im not calling it bad.

Maybe you base your impressions on what is happening in your country, it seems it is being advertised quite heavily.

But on this site, it barely gets praise.

Imo, of course it deserves it.

25 episodes, not one episode even once even had one seen about the intentions of the human-titan shifters. It only gets the praise because of the action. The story was way too vague.

I'm not familiar with what praise it gets, but I find the series to be interesting and quite original. It certainly has a mood about it that is unlike more other series.

(My opinion might change somewhat depending on how the series ends of course.)

This. Anything that's super-popular is most likely hugely overhyped and overrated, but at the same time did something right and therefore not as bad as the haters say it is

And it's all a matter of preference. For example, I cannot get myself to see anything other than an emotional SoL as "a piece of art" therefore I will never say an action-heavy show like this deserves all it's praise.

At the same time, someone with different taste would just call me a SoL fag and say that SnK is a masterpiece and cannot comprehend how I do not believe a work of fiction which works away from real life could not be a piece of art

At the end of the day, everything is subjective.

It had a powerful start and the overall animation/art was fantastic, at least as far as I remember. I didn't like the direction the story & characters took early on in the story. I don't think it's bad, but to me it had potential to become a lot better.
I agree on that, i think it could of been something more

To some extent this is actually true. People tend to latch onto bandwagons and not do exploring themselves. Add to this that fans tend to ignore flaws in works that they really like, and you can see where this sentiment comes from.

Btw, I don't really consider Attack on Titan to be super-popular, at least not in North America.
