This is just a post prior to it's ending, so it could do a Game of Thrones and ruin everything last minute. However, Isayama has proven himself to be a brilliant story writer and I place my trust within him wholeheartedly. You may have saw that I related this to 'Fullmetal Alchemist', and before everyone screams at me for daring to compare 'Attack On Titan' to such a 'godly creation', I am of the opinion that Attack on Titan shares a few aspects with the former that make its story so engrossing. For instance, two of the greatest qualities a shounen can have is, one, a clear goal from the beginning (and signs of development to said goal), and two, setting up a mystery in the beginning and fulfilling it at the end with minimal, if not zero, plot holes. These are qualities that both series exemplify in. The Marley arc and the end of the previous arc, no side characters are created without a distinct purpose and no mystery is left unanswered (at least most of them are). While Reiner and Bertholt's personalities were mostly seen as a plot hole and negative within the series, the Marley arc dissected it and made us realize their resemblance to eren and 'his crew', creating a juxtaposition that made sense of their antics within every previous arc. I won't mention Fullmetal as it is common knowledge that it is well made, practically a masterpiece. However, I believe most of its reception, while deserved, is given because for nearly 10 years we have seen how conclusive its ending has been, and it is not a monthly manga (anymore). While Attack on Titan is the manga, of an anime that is widely considered by many to be 'overated', even if they haven't seen it, this is most likely due to its position as a popular gateway anime. Ultimately, Attack on Titan is unlike any other popular shounen currently, as it has a clear ending in sight, and won't end abruptly due to scheduling as it is immensely popular. And I can see both the manga and the anime reaching in the high 8's and low 9's once it ends. Now for all those who 'read it all', roast me in the comments for my incompetence and lack of taste. |

Isayama is an amazing writer, and more importantly doesn't seem to be slacking off or losing passion like a certain other mangaka I used to adore. I definitely agree, I think the story will be in the top 5 for many people. |

I was thinking the same thing while trying to find convincing reasons for my friend who likes FMA to check out AoT. They do share thought-provoking themes and with how everything is tying up neatly, I hope that AoT will have a satisfying ending too. |

It depends on the ending if it gets a good ending I will agree with you but it really depends on how Isayama ties up these loose plot threads. |

FMA - Over 9000/10 SNK- 1/10 SNK has a terrible art. A really annoying MC. Meaningless deaths that are not even close to being impactful. Is boring. Mikasa has nothing going on about her except for being a stronk stoic action girl. Levi and an A-hole. And Armin is the saving grace on this thing for being extremelly smart. FMA is a masterpiece in every sense of the world. It manages to balance comedy with drama perfectly. Edward is one of the best MCs of all time for being complex, charismatic, funny and having a really cool design. Nearlly everyone is a badass with personality and awesome characterization. It is entertaining, deep and meaningful. It taught me many life lessons. The romantic subplots are well developed. And overall it's one of the best things Japan has ever produced. How dare you compare this piece of garbage (SNK) to a masterwork such as Fullmetal Alchemist. |

If this manga series was concluded long time ago, then i think we could have seen less hate for SNK. Dude hating on things doesn't make u cool. |

@Nick-Knight SNK has a terrible art. The art wasn't that great at the beginning and even he realized that but Isayama has greatly improved his art over years. It's far from terrible now. A really annoying MC. Character development is a thing. Current Eren is nothing like Eren at the start of the series. Meaningless deaths that are not even close to being impactful. Is boring. Fighting against Titans isn't supposed to be easy. Countless soldiers dies in a war in real life without serving any purpose. You might step on a landmine and just dies. Not everyone can be a hero. Mikasa has nothing going on about her except for being a stronk stoic action girl. There's a reason why Mikasa is how she is. If you read the manga, you would have learn more. Levi and an A-hole. Levi doesn't act friendly but he is not an asshole. That's like calling Roy Mustang an asshole. If you even have shred of knowledge about Levi, you wouldn't call him that. And Armin is the saving grace on this thing for being extremelly smart. Every main characters in AoT have their saving grace. Jean,Connie and even Sasha serve a purpose. You knowledge of AoT is far outdated to even make a comparison. |

I totally agree on that note....and i have full faith in Isayama to not fuck it up. SnK is one of those series that evolved quite a bit with the artist, in the beginning it had its serious problems but it developted into one of my favorite currently running series and it probably has one of if not the best war arc in manga history. The story and Characters still suffer from the early problems tho (the explaination for the strength of the ackermann felt like a asspull..yea it got foreshadowed but it still feels like lazy writing). The only problem is the art....the story and Characters improved over time and the art did too....buuut it still kinda sucks tbh. I mean its a monthly release but the art is worse than most weekly action series and that says alot. |

Look at your masterpiece stat, a decent amount of persons feel the same way for fmab. https://myanimelist.net/anime/5114/Fullmetal_Alchemist__Brotherhood/stats The point I'm making is coming here and voicing how much you believe this series is the worst series ever, wont change a damn thing regarding what this series has accomplished and will accomplished in the future, just like how these haters for fmab won't stop it from getting countless praise and currently being number 1 on mal. |

Titanslayer18 said: I have no intention to seam rude but you both don't seem to understand the character of Eren. He is meant to be a shonen character with idealistic and opinionated black-and-white view on the world from the very start, but Aot's world is not a good vs bad one. It's a cruel and harsh one where the strong, not the kindhearted, survives. And seeing how the cruel environment slowly changes Eren's character in the course of the story is what makes him so entertaining to watch. I'll never stop saying it, Eren's character is one of the best in the series. His development from an unrealistically impulsive, almost psychopatic kid who would rationalize kidnappers as beasts in order to be able to kill them without any regret to the pragmatic, morally complex and questionable Eren we now in Marley Arc. (and no, that's no spoiler 'cause entering this thread automatically says you've read the manga).Nick-Knight said: FMA - Over 9000/10 SNK- 1/10 SNK has a terrible art. A really annoying MC.

Yea as i said the art improved, but its still not as good most other monthly manga. There are of course impressive panels in a manga with a lengh of 118 chapters but the consistency is missing, look at 118 and even tho it may has some pretty nice panels most of them are pretty bad, just look at that one fight....and if i may clarify what i meant by "art" i meant the overall "art" part not just how the panels are drawn. What still sucks in SnK is the panel structure...the fights fell just messy. I love the series atm but i still think the art is underwhelming for a monthly series even tho it was a hell lot worse in the beginning, if you are fine with the art good for you. |

Even if Eren is 'annoying' his character arc is very original and quite unique for a character of his sort while Edward is...not all that interesting really. He's probably one of the least interesting characters of FMA. But I'm going to do an even harder disagree on the comedy thing. FMA biggest flaw no doubt is its comedy. It really doesn't need those stupid funny moments, they only made me dislike the MC and didn't add anything to the story. |

if in 10 or 20 years you will read it again and it will still seem like a masterpiece then it is a classic, only time will decide it. surely it will be one of the best shonens of the last decade. PS I'm not a big fan of the characters |

TBH I really am reserving judgment on the current arc but I am not liking where it is going and how needlessly convoluted it is. Thing is, I usually like convoluted stories, for example, I love HxH's current arc but this one doesn't sit right with me, maybe it is due to the character's motivations being morphed that I get lost when thinking about character motivations. I have no idea what Eren is thinking or what Hange is thinking or what Marley is doing. |

And negativity =/= bait. @NakolHira the same goes for you. Also nice evading of character limit post. |

Kami_sama_ said: good post. I personally have not read or watched FMAB as the fanbase just deters me.This is just a post prior to it's ending, so it could do a Game of Thrones and ruin everything last minute. However, Isayama has proven himself to be a brilliant story writer and I place my trust within him wholeheartedly. You may have saw that I related this to 'Fullmetal Alchemist', and before everyone screams at me for daring to compare 'Attack On Titan' to such a 'godly creation', I am of the opinion that Attack on Titan shares a few aspects with the former that make its story so engrossing. For instance, two of the greatest qualities a shounen can have is, one, a clear goal from the beginning (and signs of development to said goal), and two, setting up a mystery in the beginning and fulfilling it at the end with minimal, if not zero, plot holes. These are qualities that both series exemplify in. The Marley arc and the end of the previous arc, no side characters are created without a distinct purpose and no mystery is left unanswered (at least most of them are). While Reiner and Bertholt's personalities were mostly seen as a plot hole and negative within the series, the Marley arc dissected it and made us realize their resemblance to eren and 'his crew', creating a juxtaposition that made sense of their antics within every previous arc. I won't mention Fullmetal as it is common knowledge that it is well made, practically a masterpiece. However, I believe most of its reception, while deserved, is given because for nearly 10 years we have seen how conclusive its ending has been, and it is not a monthly manga (anymore). While Attack on Titan is the manga, of an anime that is widely considered by many to be 'overated', even if they haven't seen it, this is most likely due to its position as a popular gateway anime. Ultimately, Attack on Titan is unlike any other popular shounen currently, as it has a clear ending in sight, and won't end abruptly due to scheduling as it is immensely popular. And I can see both the manga and the anime reaching in the high 8's and low 9's once it ends. Now for all those who 'read it all', roast me in the comments for my incompetence and lack of taste. |

Tg manga is still better than that of aot's imo. Yes ishida was just burnt out most likely due the work conditions.. But saying he lost his passion is rude. You can read his last interview about tg for reference. He said he still love tg. He didn't lose passion. And yes i love Ishida. The anime didnt justify the manga. And i will still say it again tg's manga is better than that of aot's. |

Just because of a shit adaptation and final arc, no one remembers tokyo ghoul now while it had the caliber to become a classic. |

I really like Attack on Titan, but it is far from being as great as other mangas like Berserk, Monster or Kingdom. It has many clichés combined, and makes it a normal manga. I personally like the story and I am following it now with burning passion, and it might become one of the most well known mangas out there, but will not be a "manga classic" for the characters, the drawing or similar. |

I really like SnK just as much as FMA but the community as a whole would probably kill you if you uttered this in a con. FMA has the hugest circlejerk this world has ever seen (It's really good, but come on). |

Perhaps the manga wont be getting that type of praise because a lot of persons are not a fan of Isayama drawing skills, but the anime definitely have a good shot though of being regarded as a classic. Season 3 part 2 has definitely put it in that direction and it just need to have a good final season to seal the deal. |
