Attack on Titan
| Not to sound like a douche but when does AOT pick up? I had started it through someone's recommendation. I'm at the episode where Eren just finds out he's somehow got Titan blood and has a half-baked transformation. Does the show pick up in bits here and there after like every 7-8 episodes of a spell of a slow burn or does it get interesting from hereon and keep the gears flowing. Always heard that people either hate the show or love it...no in-between. I stopped a month back but I wanna know some of the community's thoughts here. Thanks! Mod Edit: Modified title for clarity and/or easier searching. |

| If you're that far into the show and doesn't seem to like it, you better stop. |
| I'm at a place between where I find it neither boring nor interesting. The only bit of intrigue is the thingamajiggy hidden under Eren's basement a la his papi so far. nah phamm i'm waiting to hear about it before jumping ship and high tailing the fugg outta here |
| AOT is just a rip off of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress anyway |
| While I don't find AOT to be exceptionally mindblowing or anything (an in-between opinion), the pacing however, was never a concern for me. I had no problems binging through it as it seemed to pick up from the get-go. Maybe I was busy admiring the art and music while watching, so that could be another reason. His papi's secret porn stash is uncovered in the third season probably, so if you are bored already, don't waste your precious time. |

| Seasons 2 and 3 have significantly improved pacing, they're more consistent with making each episode entertaining, so I'd say if you don't find the first to be all that then you might be surprised by the direction the series takes later. If the first 2 epsiodes of the series invested you a lot I say keep going, otherwise if even those didn't leave a strong impact you should probably just leave it ultimately |

| @ celestialnerd That's not true. While I agree that S1 was overly slow paced, everything beyond that is quick moving and the best that AOT has to offer. |

Yea, but tbf, that was a rip off of Owari no Seraph soo |

| It doesn't get better. If you don't like it from the start don't bother watching it. Stick with something better like Boku no Hero Academia. also this: |

| It's a slow series overall and it will get even slower. However that was never a problem to me. It seems to be perfectly paced to tell its story in a good way. If you don't like it slow then you either need to learn how to appreciate slower stories or realize that SnK just isn't your cup of tea. |

Intriguing is what i'm looking for. I watched Monster with godhonest intrigue. I'm still listening to y'all about the story and am open to it. |
Whgedia said: I mean if you dont like episode 1 ( which I think is one of the best first episodes ever, along side with Jojo episode 1 and SAO episode 1 ) i dk what to tell you best not to tell me anything then bub...........since i haven't raised an issue post-intro to a show here. |

| As a hardcore snk fan, I liked the series from the get go, but it wasn't until episode 17 is when my interest skyrocketed because of a certain plot point that increase my interest in the series. The further you go into the series the more complex the plot becomes so it may seem like a shallow gorefedt man eating series on the surface, but trust me it is way more than that, snk is kinda like the tv series called "lost" in a way when it comes to mystery, only difference is that snk will take its time, but it will eventually answer some question and then that answer becomes another question in itself, the thing is though it leaves a lot of clues around for you to find. I will say give the entire 1st season a chance and if you are not interested in any of the mystery and intrigue for the 1st season then don't continue it. You said you like monster, so I don't think you have a probelm with the series being slow pacing wise, because monster is a slow pace series as well, I think at this moment the plot isn't intriguing you, monster has a lot of mystery in it, so I think you dig those type of series. This is why I said just try and atleast finish the first season before giving up. |

| This season had the most boring arc of them all, its understandable you could almost bear it. I suggest you to keep it up and wait for Shingashina's greatness |

Thanks If it's a lackluster intrigue, then I see it as being easier to fix since you're not expecting much. If it's worth your time (as a bare minimum) seeing several great well animated badass fights (not saying any fight is well animated) and one of the best cliffhangers of anime in the later seasons, then I'd say go for it. |
|
| The action definitely picks up in the second half of S1 imo. But if you finish the season and still think it's boring, I would not recommend watching S2 or 3. |
| AOT slowly turned from an action-packed man vs titan to a mystery show. If you're really into mystery and politics, you may want to stick around. Otherwise, I would say the show is not for you. |

Otherwise, I would say the show is not for you. Okay this one is closest to how I felt. I've seen up till season 2. If you like watching people's reaction to watching horror show, then you're going to enjoy the SnK atmosphere. |

| Pick up ? Imo it was intense right from the start. One of the shows where 20 minutes felt like 5. If you aren't intrigued yet it might never happen, although the suspense is reaching a new high in the second cour. |

whoissunbabenim said: What don't you like about it? I'm not sure where you'd stand on this one, but I for one found season 1 really boring, it also gets especially annoying when Mikasa and Levi swoops in. By then pretty much every character you knew was going to die is dead and anyone you knew wouldn't will be saved.I'm at the episode where Eren just finds out he's somehow got Titan blood and has a half-baked transformation. Action-hounds seem to think the series goes downhill, but I think the contrary. Season 2 was just meh, but actually less annoying because I see the main characters less. Season 3 actually gets decent, Mikasa hasn't really seen much action and it's the best thing EVER. whoissunbabenim said: Yeah... that's a really big reveal later on. I'd tell you when it gets revealed or if it even has been revealed in the anime yet, but I'm not sure if you'll consider that spoilers.The only bit of intrigue is the thingamajiggy hidden under Eren's basement a la his papi so far. |

| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| it use to be one of my favourite shows but now my tastes have changed and I just..dropped the 3rd season. I will take up th manga when it finishes(cause I don't read/watch when it's airing) but realy you probably won't like it tbh. Edylson said: /r/wooooshjustcaolan said: AOT is just a rip off of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress anyway Ahmm its actually the other way around, AOT came in 2013,Kabaneri came in 2016 exept if I'm the one who got woooshed? :O |
| If you don't like the show 8 ep in, you most likely won't like the rest. So I would advise you to watch something else. |
| I found season 1's pacing to be unbearably slow, and if anything from the part you're at you're knee deep in the sloggy pacing. It doesn't pick up in season 1, and I dropped season 2 when I realized I wasn't interested, so I can't say whether or not it gets better. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| If you don't like it Drop it. As easy as that. |

As someone who is keeping up with the manga, I can tell you right now... you're in for a sloooooooow ride, my friend. |
| I started the show when the first season was still airing and I've been hooked ever since. So I can't relate to your feelings at all. My recommendation though, just like a lot of other people are saying, is that you should just drop it. If you don't like it yet at the point you're at, I doubt you ever will. |
