Shingeki no Kyojin Episode 24 Discussion

Could be, I don't remember. If it was only a few posts before mine, chances are I didn't read it, however, since I only read in depth the posts to about page 15 here. By then the 'yes-no/trivial faults or not'- bickering between different posters were already apparent (I think some even got deleted). The rest were more or less repetitions, so I largely skipped over them.

That everyone agrees with me and doesn't give you credit seems at the same time an exaggeration and a frustration of an egotistical whiner. What are you, a kid? Who the f- cares if random people on some forum gives you 'credit' or not? And credit for what? It's not like you invented something or 'insightful' posts should get credit (if they are insightful to begin with, even). No, it's just a forum, dude, get a grip.

And if it's your last post as you say, for Gods' sake, be consistent and let it BE your last post. Nothing worse than people saying they'll stop posting and yet continue.

Now, as for your perceived fanboyism and lack of 'logic' of what I said, I'm afraid you're starting with the wrong premise. A straw man fallacy, even. I didn't say it it was an abject failure, I talked about some minor issues. I don't know in what world you live in, but mine isn't black-or-white. You CAN have some errors in a series, and still like the series. If you are only going to be satisfied with something when it achieves complete perfectness, you're never going to be satisfied with anything in your life, I'm sorry to say.

There are - just as in every anime - some minor issues in as well the manga as the anime. Some were rectified in the anime, some weren't, and some were introduced in the anime. All in all, none of them were major (unless you think having(no) blood in his mouth after biting it, or a scene with a titan running while he shouldn't have to run that far, makes or brakes a series. If that is the case, you have either an autistic tendency or are an obsessive, unrealistic perfectionist.)

Normally, one has enough common sense to allow for some errors and mistakes; we're only human, after all. As long as it doesn't break the story or characterisation, these kind of errors mean very little, and shouldn't keep you from assessing the series as being great, all in all. In fact, these are trivial. FAR more important will be how the mangaka will deliver in the end, about the mystery of that world. I hope he can give it a satisfying and logical end, with a well-thought out revelation and climax. I'm far more concerned about that, than whatever small fry a lot of people seem to bicker over here.

So yes, I noticed the little errors, and I thought people endlessly defending or fighting over it were being idiotic. Yes, there are errors in it. Period. And yes, it doesn't mean the series isn't worth watching anymore, and one can still find it highly enjoyable.

I would say it's true the question where 'the line is drawn' is different for each person. But it's a fantasy-themed anime, for gods' sake, not a scientific paper (and even there small mistakes are possible that don't influence the conclusion). Some might find the unrealistic 'swing-flights' (and yes, they ARE unrealistic) between trees with air-gear with timely retracting barbs too much to bear. So be it. Some might even find the series unwatchable because there is possibly a slight gloss to be detected on Mikasa's lips. Ok, fine. Don't watch it then.

Most of the more intelligent and socially adept or normal-tolerant people, however, will not have any major issues with little mistakes that don't break the story, characterisation, or plot.
