it's hard to call *anything* the greatest in it's field. from what i hear, it's a lot less popular in Japan so it's hard to call it the 'greatest' overall, and I know a lot of people who don't think it's really anything special, myself included tho i am yet to be up to date with it. in short, subjectively, yes for some people, otherwise no

A manga can only be considered the greatest if it's as funny as Grand Blue...

So, nope.. it isn't

It’s pretty subjective and not everyone has the same taste but i know certain people/youtubers who have taste include aot manga as one of the greatest. Personally for me, yeah, why?

1. Gray & realist
2. Those insane foreshadow and plottwist ( for example, ch 1 : To you, 2000 years from now and the title of ch 122 )
3. The author knows what he’s doing from the start hence he even spoils the final panel and audio of the ending he envisioned
4. It demands you to re-read because of details that will lead to major events
5. This story is certainly not for teenagers ( under 18-20 ) and people who only love simple conflict & actions
6. Many life lessons
7. Every arcs are connected

And many more, i suggest you read it to see if it’s worth to be called the greatest or not, don’t let anybody who shittalk this series turn you off

MAL is a far cry from being my main literature site, that's why I won't be doing mere single chapter updates anymore. Manga- aka Baka-Updates + 2 French ones are miles better and more thorough/complete + less restricting. The latter are perfectly suited for Manga/Light Novel/Books collectors such as myself. Less stressful/tiring this way. -g-

Might not be the greatest. But one of the greatest for sure. In terms of story, it's execution and foreshadowing. This probably is the only manga that comes close to Pandora hearts in terms of story and how far the writer had planned it out.
For me personally, these two are the only manga when you reread them. You can see what characters were REALLY doing or saying. In AOT case,

Lastly, It also totally depends how the manga ends. If the ending turns out to be bang average then well you can guess the outrage.

Even if we only judge by the story alone, I wouldn't say so.
I would put One Piece above Attack on Titan. Might not be a fair comparison since One Piece is so much longer.

Calm down, it is great, definitely one of my favorites and certainly in a top 10 from the 2010's to now, but it's safer to say one of the greatests.

It is hard to measure who's the greatest of all time, it's subjective, so calm down.

It is one of the greatest makes the most sense as we can never say a single manga is the greatest of all time, now that's different if you are saying it is your favorite manga of all time.

So yeah it don't make any sense to say it is the greatest manga of all time when others will say it is not.

I see, yeah just be careful next time since this is in the manga forum too. For the first few chapters, the arts are not great but have important details which will happen later in s4 ( ch 121-122 in the manga ), planning to continue this series someday?

I have no problem with you disliking attack on Titan, the thing is the contents that you watch in those 8 episodes are manga chapters that were released back in 2010, we are now in 2020, you are kidding yourself if you think you can form and opinion on the series with watching that little amount of episodes.

The series is completely different and you don't even know what the true plot is, the truth is the first three seasons of snk are basically the prequel of the series.

Funny enough if you continue the series there is a chance you may even become a fan of it as there many people that didn't like the first season and then became big fan later on because this series build up off each season and it only gets better and better.

But that's your choice if you want to continue, it just triggers me that you have only watch that little amount of content and think you qualify to form an opinion of the series and expect people to take you seriously.

I'm assuming based off your list so correct me if I'm wrong but I see that you have only watch 2 episode of the first season don't you think it's a bit unfair to make that statement after just watching two episodes?

The series definitely relied on shock value in it's early stages and it continues to be very violent and dark but definitely doesn't rely only on shock value.

I can tell you that the first season of attack on Titan got plenty of hate with it being called overrated a million times, my point is it's getting these praise by the series quality overall including the manga and not just the first season.

But again I think it is unfair to assume the series is all shock factor and nothing else just by watching two episodes, which I may remind you those two episodes are basically to hook in viewers into the series.

Berserk gets this type of praise heck even more than attack on titan, it is rated #1 on mal and it too was all about shock value in it early stages too, actually that is why people loved Berserk in the first place because of how gritty and dark it is.

Me personally I think it is one of the greatest not the greatest because I don't believe there is a the greatest series.

If you only have watched the first 2 episodes of the anime you shouldn't make statements like that about the series.

Hmm probably not, it's a bit too long for me to pick up knowing I found it boring the first time. Not really a fan of the "anyone can die at any moment" trope unless it's a horror movie where attachment isn't expected. Maybe if a friend or something watched with me I'd have the mental fortitude to get through it since I could just talk to them through the parts I find especially boring.

I don't hate the series or anything, I just don't think it's very good.

Oh you definitely can form an opinion. You're kidding yourself if you say you HAVEN'T formed an opinion after even a few episodes. I don't expect anything from anyone, you're the one that responded to what I would consider at least partially a joke post.

Also, you're not really selling it to me here... Why should I even bother with the first 3 seasons if they're just a prequel? I know what you're trying to say but the way you worded it implies that I can just skip to the last season.

You can form a opinion but it's worth nothing since you have practically watch less than 5% of what the series has to offer.

A lot of people that love the series now didn't like the first season or at least thought it wasn't that good basically the same opinion as you and now they love it, what I am trying to say is it's best you don't bother discussing or mentioning anything about attack on Titan since everyone will just point out to you that you haven't even completed the first season and that to many (I disagree with this) believe the first season is the weakness season of attack on Titan.

I initially wrote out a pretty rude reply but after reading it over I decided not to post it. Instead I'll just say that the "it gets good after season 1" way of thinking is fundamentally flawed. Even if it does get good after the first season, that's still a stain on the series, therefore it can't be one of the greatest of all time. You can't just view a specific part of the story and go "well this was cool so its the greatest", you have to look at a show as a whole. If the first season is boring or bad, that still knocks down the score.

As I said I personally loved the first season I'm just telling what I have heard others say, fmab is consider one of the best anime ever made and it is #1 on Mal but many said the beginning of it was pretty weak and if it was split into seasons then that first 25 episodes probably wouldn't even be rated above 8, the same for hxh 2011 but that didn't stop it from being called one of the greatest either, so I will have to disagree there.

There is no perfect series let's get that out of the way a 10/10 doesn't mean it has zero flaws.

But let's drop it here, all I'm saying is that anytime you mention snk someone is going to look at your list and they are going to say " but you have only watch 8 episodes?" and that is how it's going to always be so I suggest if you don't want to go throgh these long discussion just avoid talking about it here.

I mean, I don't believe brotherhood should be as highly rated as it is either though. The manga is one of the greatest of all time but brotherhood does a terrible job of showing the start. I'm honestly not even sure why people like it so much. But if you wanna drop this chat that's Gucci. Again, I don't really care if people wanna call me out on not watching or reading more. My opinion of a show doesn't generally change past the first few episodes unless the ending is really bad or something.

Was kinda fun talking to you though, have a good one man.

I can relate to what @keragamming say here, i was one of those people who called aot is generic and overrated while only watch s1 and around 3 months ago, decided to binge the series when s4 trailer came out and anime critics such as gigguk & anime man have been calling it to be classic masterpiece. And after finishing season 3, looking back at s1 i can see why the cheap factors and every arcs are necessary and after reading the manga till latest chapter, it turns oht that the author has been planning this series carefully with the builds up
