Anyone with common sense wouldn't let something as superficial as a mal score bother them, as Ive said to someone previously, why the hell does snk being in the top 10 of a site that doesnt actually matter to the anime community mean so much to you?

Because I care about anime, obviously you do to if you're on this site. Its an insult to other anime that deserve that spot.


Pfff xD so 2 mediocre anime on the top 2 not an insult... But if a legendary one took that place then it is... Ok ... :'D
Merciful lies or painful truth?

Well, the Armin suicide was just dumb sacrifice to make sacrifice (this is a bad move, i hoped he becomes new scout leader, since everybody capable of are dead) - he already understand colosus consume his muscules to make steam - just make more rounds in attacking him and he will exhaust himself, why burn himself alive? To make more dramma? AFTER WHOLE SCOUT REIGMENT RECRUITS SUICIDE CHARGE U TRYIN TO MAKE MORE DRAMMA? RLY?

And then "deus ex machina" Hange appearance with a spear (she now the leader of all what left from scouts, lol) to help defeat armored one. I am hate this tank-dude for immortality (and hope he is died now for sure), but why so "magical saviour"? What next? Father of Eren will come back from the dead and resucrect all who were killed with jeany in magick lamp he hides in basement?

this season is still better than previous tho.

I mean levi still has the titan serum he mentioned while ripping the beast titan a new one and he could use it on either erwin or armin depending on what goes down

But the serum must be used on someone alive. You cant resurect someone from dead with it. And Armin now is a well done steak, so he is gone forever. I think he uses titanizing serum on Mikasa, since they are cornered with Titans and she is the one who are most capable for combat. And also it can make more dramma when she loses controll and joins the titans.

I still have to disagree with you about armins sacrifice being pointless, it was meant to show how much hes grown as a person, being scared shitless inside yet still be willing to do something so brave for his friends and humanity.

I think if they tried to trick Bertolt in to expelling steam too many times he would notice, and just would not fall for it. Bertolt is pretty intelligent after all.
Plus take notice of the distance Bert is from the wall - they don't have the time left to slowly wear him out, they've got that one chance and Armin made the decision to sacrifice himself in order to make sure it succeeds.
Besides, with the Armoured Titan reappearing they don't have the people to carry out a battle of attrition (which is the original plan).
I'll admit tho, Hange showing up is pretty convenient (though not impossible). It's just a plot device to drive home the exhilarating fight, as well as letting the viewers know she's still alive.

It was not completely pointless, they subjugated Colosus Titan after all, plan was a success. But i insist Armins suicide was stupidity which can be avoided. If they want to kill him - let him die like others - in battle with a titans (or from broken neck from failing from the wall because of gear malfunction, or from food poisoning whatever). Just not from "they grilled me on a rope because i wanted to be grilled on a rope". He has means to escape, but dont use it. This looks so lame since a countless others cant avoid their deaths and die not because they want, but because they should (like onehanded leader).

If he stops vape - they cut him from the titan, just like Jaeger did in the end, that is the reason he steams, and thats why he cant stop to do it while they are close. And about the wall - if he reach it, what happens? He cant throw burning buildings and fight Armin and Eren in same time. He is not as good as a fighter for it. He cant even snatch Jaeger without Braun's help. His most dangerous ability is a simple transformation to titan, and he already used it (and he cant just "get back and transform again", so except size he is not dangerous - if eren is not in titan he cant even grub him and throw to his monkey lord).

being near the colossal it self is dangerous, a 60m Titan would have the body temperature of 602 degrees, so getting caught in steam could give second to third degree burns potentially. So I wouldn't call him not dangerous, he's a walking furnace. And as we know he can render 3D gear useless with the steam, so you can't attack him whilst the armored Titan is around because you could get blown away and crushed by Reiner. There for they have to deal with Reiner first, which only leaves a few people to deal with Bertolt no matter how you organise it.
And we've seen from season 2 he can expel heat for quite a long time, so it'd be unrealistic to try wear him down using only the people they've got.
As for the wall, although I'm not sure, but I think colossal will be able to damage it in other ways than throwing buildings alone, such as kicking the already damaged parts. There's no way they can make sure that Bertolt doesn't find an opportunity to throw some debris to the other side - Zeke is throwing rocks atm so all the soldiers and horses are by the walls, and having Bertolt right next to it could potentially wipe out the majority. That was probably their plan.

I think we did it weebs. 15k votes and still on top. For anime on a western site thats quite impressive if you ask me. Even the number 2 spot only has 120k, but thats Game of Thrones.

I see this as an absolute win. Have to read the other comments now.

After that i had seen some reddit post about Japanese TV rating,SNK was constantly topped the ranking.

hahaha i love how my statement went from "purposeful haters deserving a punch" to "lets decapitate random people in the comment section"
i have no idea how u escalated that so hard but its kind of amusing to read

@Vazka @keragamming @CondemneDio @Lucette_C @TsukuyomiREKT

first off @Vazka you said "*30+ people deserve to be punched hard because they dont like a chinese cartoon"
thats not what i said, they deserve it because they purposefully hate on it, we are in season 3 part 2, someone who rates it 1 has not watched the show.
people who don't like it will rate somewhere between 3-5, now that doesn't go everyone but the probability is high, if someone doesnt like it i couldn't care less, i do not have the slightest issue with that, people have different taste but this is another story and has nothing to do with this.


that said i was not joking at all
i do believe those people would deserve a punch
but i also believe people should obey the law over that
you guys gotta calm your titties, its a comment on the internet in a forum for an episode of an anime, not an Appeal to the Masses to find these people and bring Justice upon them lmao.
Sit down in your chair and sip on some Milk, it was just a Comment to express dissatisfaction about purposeful hatefulness.

So I've been banned from MAL-Badges, after spending nearly two years of my time and dedication to helping out, being the club's spokesperson, and planning for the revamp, it all goes down the fucking drain. What a joke the club has become. I advise everyone to stop using the feature and stop showing their support for the site and the club. We were promised that we will see changes come to the site, and nothing's been done for the past year. I doubt the site will be touched for the foreseeable future. If you're angry and annoyed about the lack of development, then good, you should be.

At least an anime is being recognized to have one of the best episodes in television history, it's a shame to see people care more about a show's positioning compared to others rather than giving it a chance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zn0_Ik0GDc

Let me dismantle the arguments here for you.
For starters, this guy's main argument is 'AoT has lots of plot armor even though the fandom hails it to have no plot armor'. This is completely untrue, because the majority do not hail it to have no plot armor. For exp, Reiner being commonly known as 'plot armor Titan'.
Secondly, plot armor does not make a show bad. If characters were randomly killed off before they achieve their purpose, that would be bad writing. Certain characters need to stay alive to push the storyline forward and serve certain goals. So they will stay alive until that purpose is fulfilled. If you think that's such a terrible thing... Well what are you doing here? Drop the show completely because it isn't for you.
Lastly, AoT is tagged as 'drama', so some scenes are there to create drama and be entertaining. While remaining in the realm of the reasonable.
And so, the main argument in this video just doesn't hold up.

I'd like to point out that this guy also held many misinformed, biased views about AoT, such as in his comments: 'Titans are nerfed' 'Mikasa has no emotions' 'Eren is a one dimensional character' 'AoT fails to explain how they got in to that state of conflict'. Overall it's just fueled by misconception and bias.

I understand having different opinions, but when you make a video with so many unfair and wrong ideas... It only goes to show how these arguments stem from ignorance and hatred.

I understand having different opinions, but when you make a video with so many unfair and wrong ideas... It only goes to show how these arguments stem from ignorance and hatred.

Yeah the only channel that calls out how bad the majority of popular shows actually are. Stay in your bubble.

Mindless hating popular things just for the sake of being popular fits a lot more on a definition of a bubble


They're not bad because they're popular, but they are certainly overrated because of it. Deflecting criticism with ad populum is a falacy.

Ohhh friend... i didnt expect this from you.
>"How bad popular shows ACTUALLY are"
That's called a bias. You think that is the right opinion, when in fact it's just your opinion - which may be legitimate - but still just an opinion.


Yeah it's an opinion that I'm expressing on a open speech forum, mostly to counter the circlejerk. What's the problem here?

Talk about delusional.

Let me dismantle the arguments here for you.
For starters, this guy's main argument is 'AoT has lots of plot armor even though the fandom hails it to have no plot armor'. This is completely untrue, because the majority do not hail it to have no plot armor. For exp, Reiner being commonly known as 'plot armor Titan'.
Secondly, plot armor does not make a show bad. If characters were randomly killed off before they achieve their purpose, that would be bad writing. Certain characters need to stay alive to push the storyline forward and serve certain goals. So they will stay alive until that purpose is fulfilled. If you think that's such a terrible thing... Well what are you doing here? Drop the show completely because it isn't for you.
Lastly, AoT is tagged as 'drama', so some scenes are there to create drama and be entertaining. While remaining in the realm of the reasonable.
And so, the main argument in this video just doesn't hold up.

I'd like to point out that this guy also held many misinformed, biased views about AoT, such as in his comments: 'Titans are nerfed' 'Mikasa has no emotions' 'Eren is a one dimensional character' 'AoT fails to explain how they got in to that state of conflict'.

Sure some of these things might be borderline bashing, but I think Mikasa and Eren are fairly one note characters typical of shounen. As is most of the AoT cast. Why is one of the reasons why this show never ressonated with me on more than a superficial level.

Eren has shown plenty of development as a character though.
