Not really
At first, I also thought it was very similar to SnK, but now? not anymore
As for quality, I'm reserving my judgment. It's a very confusing show, there are pretty equal amount of good and bad parts

During the first episode I totally felt the SNK effect... but it has gone. I don't see any SNK anymore in this anime. :)

>Implying that SnK coined all of these types of tropes *derp*

Regardless the only thing that's even remotely similar between this series and SnK is Yuu and Eren and even then, Yuu is barely like Eren.....For one, he's not a crybaby bitch and his personality and skill is vastly superior to Eren's

The comment about Mika made me die of laughter......My oh my how people take things for face value xD And dude please.....Shinoa>>>Mikasa based off of personality and experience alone

I can see where people would think Seraph of the end is like SnK, but it really isn't and people should stop comparing the two.

Hmm, I can't say that SnK is original either, I think maybe there are already some manga/anime about humans approaching their extinction before SnK was made.

Easiest example is NGE, many humans and living things on earth lost their lives during 2nd impact. They're building city with defense system and they make Evangelion to countermeasure the Angel attack ,compared to SnK, although not same, they have some similarities.

This theme has been done several times so I guess it's okay to use the same theme. It depends on how the author can make interesting variations with his/her story. Hell, a copy is not always worse than the original (sometimes they realize the flaws that original has and make a better variation, not always though).

How stupid, really. Doesn't give off much of a SnK vibe at all, and even if it did... Heaps of anime are similar. No need to target this, especially as it just started. Was Snk your first anime lad?

Omg look they are speaking Japanese, it's like that other anime I saw. Wtf an anime character is in this series, it copied the last anime I watched, how dare they do that?! WHAT IT'S AN ANIME, THAT'S LIKE THAT ANIME I SAW.

Oh god, shut the fuck up. This is like SnK? Cuz of the revenge motif? Cuz of the post-apocalyptic-like setting? Cuz they have a military? That's it? Those general as fuck things? Seriously? You dumb fuck fanboys see your shitty favorite shows in everything don't you?

I actually like SnK better than this in most respect but that's not the point, the point is that you're a dumb fuck shitty fanboy.

Oh, and Shinoa >>> Mikasa. All Mikasa has going for his besides her undying loyalty is that she's a tough, strong, "badass," action girl, an overrated as fuck character type. Pretty much an easy instant awesome in the minds of dumb fucks.

This.

The Manga started almost 3 years ago. Why compare now?

Also, there are some parts they're similar but that's it overall its different.

The Theme, Concept, Settings, have been used over the years, 5, 10, 20 and so on years ago.

Attempts to elicit powerful emotions early on with shock and awe using death of loved ones/comrades in arms


And when this show tries to be different in an attempt to establish its own identity, it fails spectacularly. Just terrible.

This show is obviously riding in on the coat tails of SnK's success and popularity in an attempt to cash in on what the authors think people want.


Somehow I doubt that AoT is the first anime ever to use all of those tropes. And yeah, it's not as good as AoT? It's like complanining that Die Hard isn't as cool as Lord of The Rings. It's not trying to be.

I think that like most people do when they complain about anime, you're massively overthinking it.

But seriously, you have to have the IQ of a rock to think this. Mikasa is by far, one of the most useless characters I've ever had the displeasure of seeing. She's nothing but a fan service character to those who have a fetish for muscular and clingy girls.

Also, at least Shinoa has a personality. And is useful. And a better design. Actually, just a better everything,

yeah, that is what I am pointing at! I can't understand why people just started comparing it when it got animated. They all just wanted to have some comparison to discussed on. And anyway, this series is so much better to watch than SnK

"hate"? Or do you mean dislike? "hate" is a pretty strong word to use on a anime series.

I don't know what snk had done to make you hate it, but I hope you will one day find the heart to forgive it for all the wrong it has done to you.

Agreed as well. People are only doing the comparing because both shows just happened to share the same studio and music composer.

Please don't take anime fans lightly. You really think that because an anime is bad, it will be forgotten that easily? Sorry but I still remember almost 150 anime that I have watched in the years passed, unless we will suddenly have an amnesia.

And if we are an Owari no Seraph fans, we will even more never forget about it.

True words, I guess I underestimated you owari fans. Anyways I feel a bit guilty here, I don't usually go to anime forum and talk negative about a anime and its fans, unless I really dislike the anime and most importantly the fanbase. *cough cough* hxh fanbase.

Owari doesn't pass any of these requirements since I don't dislike the series or its fanbase. I'm actually pretty nuetral towards this series. I neither like it or dislike it.

My comments towards this series were half serious tbh. So my humble apologies for making those immature comments. I'm a good guy. :)

I was forced to comment and reincarnate on mal's forum because of another shitty random comments I read. I don't want to bash you, and I just want to enlighten your incompetence and foolish beliefs about comparing things (not only manga).

Long story short, not because majority approves it as "good" doesn't necessarily mean to be really good. In my own critically and wisely thought opinion:

"SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN IS FOLLOWING A SIMPLE FLOW OF THE STORYLINE. AND IT GETS REPETETIVE IF YOU VIEW IT ON ITS BIGGER PICTURE. WITH A LITTLE PLOT TWIST AND NEW IDEAS, YOU FORGOT THAT IT HAD ALREADY HAPPENED BEFORE."

I only copy pasted it from my mal's signature and I don't bother editing it for formalities. I just wanna shove it to your ass and criticize or understand the previous, present and next current events in that manga, SnK, which is an utter bs repeating over and over again. The repetition does not of course have the same events, but the style is. Also, the character development has turned a weird turn, not even practical in any way. DISAPPOINTING MANGA for me.

Though I only realized it on its later chapters/volume, vol. 11 specifically, so I can't really blame myself for having high expectations I had when reading all through out after the anime ended. I don't regret loving it though, at least not until volume 11 when I realized the loops I have been reading at.

Copy pasted from my comment in reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TokyoGhoul/comments/37k81e/so_i_got_a_question_about_the_anime/crojhpc
"I'm just your typical human being who commit sins just like you. But the difference is that I never lied and tell anyone that what I did was right. I regret and ask for forgiveness from Him."

Why is my signature not anime-related? It's because who gives a fuck? Anyway I'd like to advertise to you this:

SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN IS FOLLOWING A SIMPLE FLOW OF THE STORYLINE. AND IT GETS REPETETIVE IF YOU VIEW IT ON ITS BIGGER PICTURE. WITH A LITTLE PLOT TWIST AND NEW IDEAS, YOU FORGOT THAT IT HAD ALREADY HAPPENED BEFORE.

Ask the fans. Once their imagination runs wild, they will connect every single detail no matter how little, absurd and far-fetch it is. To give some example,

Shingeki no Kyojin recommendations - Aldnoah Zero, Sword Art Online, Bleach, Btooom, Psycho-Pass, Naruto, One Piece, Pupa, Hajime no Ippo, Death Note, Mirai Nikki, Rainbow, Kingdom, Kuroko no Basket, and so on and so forth.

Look at how absurd the listed anime are. Shingeki no Kyojin is even recommended to some sports anime. This is no longer a recommendation in respect to "relevancy", it's a recommendation of "which anime is popular with whom". In other words, "let's connect which popular anime to another popular anime".
