They also love GoT and Tarantino movies on that site. Yep. What a weird place.

Because its well liked even among fans outside of those who regularly watch Japanese shows and actively has elements that are pretty well done from an animation and direction standpoint. As much as contrarians and people in forums like this will have you believe, the show has a lot going for it even if it may not be 100% perfect. There's a reason it resonates with a lot of people

@IpreferEcchi what makes you think normies have bad taste? I think they have good taste.

It's the most popular anime on MAL as well, so I guess it's just extremely popular in general. As for why it's so popular, well, I believe there are a ton of reasons, but here are just a few off the top of my head:

- There is a sense of familiarity and realism in AOT's art style, setting, characters, etc., which makes it much easier for non-anime viewers to want to try out and watch
- The premise, story, and plot draw attention from people
- It has idea and themes that resonate with a lot of people
- It has a lot of attention-grabbing and shocking elements, which keeps people watching instead of dropping
- The fights and animation are considered box office to many people
- People consider characters like Levi, Eren, Mikasa, Erwin, and others to be cool and maybe like role models

its got mass appeal that most anime lacks. Even normies like AOT and it's easy to understand why.

Because we don’t use IMDb. The people on IMDb don’t really watch a lot of anime so they focus on the one or two shows who are popular even outside of anime fans, without good comparison
Don't mind me, just vibing here ^_^

Probably the mainstream appeal, and it's popular, so sorta like a collective positive feedback.

"Why does IMDb loves Attack on Titan so much?"

Because IMDB is a prime example of unrefined taste? People there jump on whatever makes the biggest ripples, usually some brutal dark stuff, not on whatever makes them feel nice and wholesome.

@IpreferEcchi

Because it's a normie website, and normies have shit good taste.

Here, I corrected it.
I usually found that so-called "normies" often have much more grounded taste and are open to all kinds of media.

Doesn't every community like Shingeki no Kyojin? It's not the worst anime to like, either. I'd be worried if it was some Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime instead.

I'd guess the main difference is that IMDB lists all of Attack on Titan as a single database entry while MAL splits it into 7 different parts. It's making users focus less on smaller details and more on the series as a whole. The difference in scores between IMDB and some of the later seasons on MAL isn't even that big.

IMDB
Attack on Titan: 9.1

MAL
Attack on Titan: 8.55
Attack on Titan Season 2: 8.52
Attack on Titan Season 3: 8.63
Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2: 9.05
Attack on Titan: Final Season: 8.78
Attack on Titan: Final Season Part 2: 8.76
Attack on Titan: Final Season - The Final Chapters: 8.87

Something really cracks me up about MAL users denouncing the quality of users on IMDb for Attack on Titan being up there in the rankings, when it has also been consistently up there in the rankings of MAL since its release. For many users, it also served as the gateway to anime more generally, prompting people to even register here.

SnK is easily one of the most normie anime titles out there. It's LE DARK, LE EDGY, LE GRITTY. It attracts the same normie audience that Game of Thrones does.

Attack on Titan is pretty similar to the most popular anime on this website, so I get it.
