Common goal for all of the survey corps member is freedom except for eren and mikasa.
For eren, it is revenge first and later

For mikasa, it is eren's protection.

How states and societies can compel good people to do horrible things, how it's easy to dehumanize something when you don't or can't communicate, romanticization of war vs the reality and of course the thing that gets shouted the most freedom or more accurately how the desire for freedom itself enslaves you. (costs of being a revolutionary/freedom fighter etc)

How many episodes u were barely able to watch? I think u dropped it.
"I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author).

So it isn't?
Also don't has elements of "Eat or be eaten" and "If you can't beat them join them"?

But you guys were praising it for having stupid moments and elements characteristic for battle shounen titles...so it's not a battle shounen but equally annoying and preachy?

So did u see battles in first episode. I can see it's a mixture of shounen with some other elements but u have declared that if some show has battles and falls under shonen category then it is annoying etc.

1. It is shounen.
2. It has battles.
3. If the comments of some fans don't lie it also has some battle shounen elements...which is not simply shounen with battles but its own thing.
4. It's totally annoying which has noting to do with pt. 1-3.

So that means Vinland saga also has battles so it is annoying too?

The latest chapters of AOT are completely batlle shonen type, good u get it early. Yeah, I know you don't need anyone's approval but still it's great that u predicted it totally what it is: just a battle shonen with 3% of other elements.

Hollywood or others will most likely be popular than anime in many countries atleast for years because not everyone has a open mind towards anime + anime's strength is series not movies which simply put off people who don't wanna invest in patience and a lot of time.

Why don't they make more anime movies. They will be even more beneficial.

There are great movies but not as much as series and I don't know why movies are less worked upon. Are they hard to be made in an anime form? It's the opposite of Hollywood where movies explodes whereas series are not as much talked about. It's like the major audience wants movies rather than the series.

Shingeki is deep, it explores philosophical themes on freedom, war, racism and endless conflict in our world. Though most of them will be explored more in the next season.


Good things from the animu


1.We are all free from the birth -Eren
VS
We are all slave for something until the end of our life - Kenny


2.If you want to change something , you must abandon something you love. Even that is your humanity - Armin
VS
Even if you won the battle after abandon your humanity, That victory will meaningless as a human.- Jean

By the way now I am watching Sasami: Mahou Shoujo Club and it has surprisingly similar themes to SnK like bullying, difficult social integration, social inadequacy, social injustice, PTSD, conspiracy ect.

Maybe I will write an essay how they are practically the same.

Nope, it's like Pokemon and Digimon merged together to defeat the evil called transformers. Yeah, Aot is a mecha slice of life shonen. I haven't watched the ones u said there tho.

Lol, yeah even Jurassic Park and Jurassic World exist in it but I can't choose between park and world. I guess Park would be better.

Hmm. I think I'd have to say a recurring image is the idea that these people have to sacrifice their humanity in order to save human kind.

But while the first season pitted humans against titans, I think the later episodes have been exploring more complexities that delve into human nature and how society itself is just as much a threat.

I've really been enjoying how they played out the whole geo/political conflict and inter-fighting within the walls.
