Attack on Titan
Orhunaa said: OP: Hey so I recently watched AoT and I couldn't really see the appeal of the show for X, Y, Z reasons. Could some of you explain what made the show such a fun experience for you? I'd like to see different perspectives. Repliers: OMG YoU're just ShoVing doWn your Elitism! I cAnT believe tHerE arE pEople wHo caN't haNdle diFferIng oPinioNs! Man, the irony is real. The only thing is, it isn't the case. It's either the first statement or the other one. Most replies are exclusive of each other. So,yeah, no irony |
Orhunaa said: OT: I haven't watched the show but I know from hearsay that it's simply popcorn flick. It's got cool action and great visuals but not much to offer elsewhere and frankly that's completely fine. Not every show has to expand upon interesting ideas. There are those whose job is to simply entertain and be a decent way to spend time. Again didn't watch it, so I may not feel this way once I watch it. But that seems to be what the consensus among the seasoned viewers is. "Some of the seasonal viewers told this to me, so it's got to be true. Oh wait! But my opinion may change once I watch it." Basing off your view on the show by hearing the opinions of some of the seasonal viewers and without experiencing the show yourself is dumb. Your opinion doesn't hold any value until you watch the show yourself. So I wonder why you even bothered including this... |

Daphi said: Orhunaa said: Is this one of the "It gets better in the nth chapter trust me." moments? I don't think calling me ignorant is justified here. I didn't present it as my own opinion but rather what I've observed from others. I also said that this might not be what I will personally feel towards the show after having seen it for myself. Also, if the plot is intriguing and complex in manga but superficial in anime, it's still not a good anime. It may be a good manga but that's beside the point. Having a good source material doesn't discredit the anime-only watchers' complaints and criticism of the anime. It's really baffling that this needs to be said. No, you don't get it, its just judging a Story based on what you've heard is nonsense, what makes it so magnificient is the whole Plot, which you just can't know/understand until you've seen all of it basically. Its the same in the Anime as it is in the Manga, it's just the Anime isn't far enough yet into the real Plot. It's more than justified calling someone ignorant who bases his Arguments on "what he has heard" and hasn't seen the whole thing. And the last thing you said is axiomatic, i don't know why you even bothered mentioning it. Again, I did not make any case for the quality of the show. If I had, what you accuse me of would be completely fair, but I didn't. I simply said that this is what I've heard about it. I don't know whether it's a well-founded claim or not but I wanted to share nonetheless. For instance, if I said "From what I've seen, LotGH is a very well-regarded show" that wouldn't equate to me saying "I argue that LotGH is a good show." those are distinctly different things. One is a factual claim that refers to knowledge, the other is an opinion. @KatsutoSaki Thanks to you I realized the problem and this will be the last reply from me to this thread. KatsutoSaki said: But my opinion may change once I watch it. This is the part where I'm misrepresented, partly due to my wording being prone to misunderstanding. I didn't say I may change my opinion. I said I may not feel this way. This doesn't mean that I hold this opinion and may change it later. It means I may or may not agree with it. I don't know. I'm currently neutral. |

The way you have phrased the first Sentence using "know" and"it is" and following it up by short phrased statements afterwards makes it a factual claim you believe to be true, this is at least how it sounds like to me. I misinterpreted your intent then but i think you should have phrased it better. |

Sasori_Nagashi said: Can someone explain the massive hype behind this series to me? Because it's one of the most anticipated series of one of the most popular series today. For me, it's one of the few anime I've watched so far that filled with so much suspense and thrill. The mysteries and the world is just too intriguing. The characters know nothing about the world and the enemy and it's a fresh new experience for me to learn and feel things at the same time as the characters you know? The deaths are not for ppl to bawl their eyes out. It is to show how the humanity is at a disadvantage against the titan. That the humanity are losing. That your decision can cost you so many lives gone and ultimately, the extinction of the humanity itself. If it's predictable and unexciting for you, I think you should stop watching and look for something else that suit your preferences more. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time on something I didn't enjoy. I won't watch something just because it's been hyped up so much lol. i dropeed a ton of anime that's been praised to heaven as soon as I realized it's not for me. Good luck op! |

 "I want to show that woman the true Yoshikage Kira. I want her to hear how I feel deep inside. That I want to take your slender neck into these hands and strangle you to death." |
CallMeHoot said: RavaZa said: This post has to be removed. Like... why was it made in the first place? It's like OP actually wanted to attract everyone toxic in this community and then split the community in half - those who like AoT and those who do not. If you don't like AoT - don't watch it, end of the story. Everyone has their own and personal opinions. Can't even watch anime in peace these days without someone shit talking about it jeez... From what I understand, the guy isn't talking shit about anything...but some people are getting super defensive over it for absolutely no reason. Guy is basically asking "I found the show a bit slow and character development a bit lacklustre. Does the story and character depth pick up pace as the seasons go on?" There's nothing wrong with this question, man. It's fine, and a lot of people here have chimed in with some pretty good replies. This isn't a bait thread or a troll, and believe me, I've seen more than my share of that kind of thing over the last few days, lol. Some of the replies here, though? Well, I'll just leave this here :- Pretty much this, yeah. But again, this person is a JoJo enthusiast, you could assume he/she could apply the same endurance to watching SnK as with watching the first one or two parts with JoJo. That show has exactly the problems OP mentions in the initial post. Nonetheless he/she got to part 5. Why not giving SnK the same treatment? And if the person doesn't want to do that, so be it. Instead we get another one of "these" threads (albeit the OP's one is more reasonable than the usual bunch) after a new 8.50+ show appears, it's becoming tiring. |
| I say it's hype cause the previous seasons were hyped up for. I liked Tokyo Ghoul, so I was hyped to watch Re:, hated second season that came after. |
| When we will have a nice discussion threads in popular show ? |

fwizziness said: Thank you for pointing this out. Personally, I don't think this anime is for me, but no matter what way you look at it, it isn't THAT good. For me, it's just an overrated battle shounen. I don't give a shit when someone dies because I don't care for that character. Oh well, people have their tastes I guess. You are contradicting yourself here, you just said ''it is not for me'' and then you say ''it isn't THAT good. For me, it's just an overrated battle shounen'' make your mind up. Plus you have only watch 2 episode of the first season, you hardly have a opinion to begin with, look, you like ecchi slice of life romance anime, nothing wrong with that, stick to your corner and stop getting into discussion that you basically have no clue about. Have a nice day. |
Chart said: Its highly overrated because of shonentards giving it 10/10 after one episode. It's not even a shounan but ok. Shonentards give it 1/10 without watching it btw. #1-#2 are two mediocre shounan with an objective 5/10 score so this arguing on why aot is hyped that much makes total nonsense. |

Titanslayer18 said: IdleSolution said: Dont bother watching it, its absolute trash and every point you made is valid. It gets even worse further seasons. The answers in your topic show what the fanbase is - insecure 14 year old kids that get mad everytime someone says something bad about their favorte series Lol keep crying dude calling aot a trash ain't gonna do a thing. We know it's gonna be good cause there are manga readers here too. I know u are just bashing aot for its high score right now but let's see after the season ends. Don't care with ppl like her/him. Just a regular hater, who likes mediocre shounans, probably... To watching this anime you should enjoy the similarities with our world,the shounan basics in a seinen world concept, the graphics, the art, the osts etc... and ofc thinking is necessary too, this is the manga's strong point, because u have time for brainstorming. |

qwyxivi said: There are some mistakes in this show: 1. the politics last season not being fleshed out very clearly, which ends up being really a letdown since it was heavily foreshadowed that the politics were going to be important in season 1, then it just ends up being skimmed over. 2. Plot development and world-building is not as elegantly integrated into the emotional aspects of the story as it could be. The worldbuilding is a bit slow. 3. Repetition happens a bit, and doesn't go well with the slow world-building. Nevertheless, *despite* its shortcomings, this show certainly deserves the scores it has been getting here so far. You can read the manga version for that arc, it goes more in depth. The anime cut out some interactions and development in season 3 part 1. Unfortunately you are in the minority and alot of persons did not like the political part of the series. |
BestBoiEren said: ThatShiny_Hex said: >He was swallowed >He would've died because of the temperature >He transformed Given the rules of the world, it made sense. If the titan would've bitten his spinal cord, he would've died. Using the term dilusional is kinda ironical on your part. Don't waste your time arguing with him, he is a jojo fan. And here's another superior being, thinking he/she is the epitome of a true anime fan. Then again, defending your favorite animu with shitting on another popular anime is something a clown would do. You don't help making the AoT community look better with such comments, do you? And now, CAREFUL, that was a rhetorical question. |

Btw i have an objective look on every anime too, but i'm not going to posting under the anime's i don't like or hate because i think it's score tells me that humanity is ready for it's well deserved extinction. |

| Well, people like IdleSolution are not even worth being mentioned or argued with because they have clearly no idea what the definition of trash is. But that's the curse of every new 8.50+ show, shit posters coming out of their holes. It's amusing but also sad. =/ EDIT: @Momentay "At least he do it under an aot destruction side area." And...that makes the statement better.  |

Fork95 said: It's okay to don't get the hype: every show have different way to hype fans. I love JoJo too so I know the difference. The hype for S3p2 is beacuase it is the arrival point of the manga: we got a lot of answers and a lot of emotional scenes (just thinking about some of them makes me cry) so we can't wait to see them animated. But I'm also in hype for some Vento Aureo scenes. But it's quite a differente kind of hype! So if you didn't enjoy S1 for your reasons you could never understand the hype (like, if I had not enjoyed previous JJBA seasons, I would never understand the hype for VA) and you could try S2 and S3 or you could give up and just watch other things. You don't have to force yourself to watch something that is not for you. What is not OK is to is going in other anime forum just for say "hurr durr this show is trash, my anime is better" or say "don't bother about him, he likes that trash show". Or ever worse, rate a show 1/10 just beacause it gets a high score in MAL ratings. That's quite childish. And that's true for SNK fans as well thats how this nonsense here started in the first place some random guy made an inappropriate comment and started the shitcycle and then people started shitting on jojos and AoT |
You son of a .. turtle  |
| I love how haters are making alt-accounts and giving this show 1/10. This season will be the best season of all. Why do you hate this much ? |
| After season 1st came out and was finished, it took 4-5 years for the 2nd season to come out. Now the show is back on a roll. People are excited to see Attack on Titan come back is all. |
ロード中です...  |
| I'ts impossible to understand your complaints when you're so vague so I assume it's just a matter of taste. Like feels-bait can be said about pretty much everything but I doubt you actually care. So to me this just feels like bait because there are hundreds of reviews and videos about AoT so making a thread with the title "Explain the hype?" on the page of Season 3 is too obvious All the other posts with "constructive criticism" were either trying too hard or just like you too vague |
| poop |
| Yeah yeah, everyone has shit taste except you |
 |
| Both sides of the argument are so immature it hurts my brain, the fans should realize that they don't have to defend the show, and the ones complaining about the hype should understand that their taste in anime is not absolute. OP has the right to dislike the show, but he's either too naive to know how this thread was going to turn out, or he provoked the fans intentionally which is childish, either way the thread should be closed. |
| Well ... the first season was the weakest. Felt slow paced to me. (Not only the adaption but also the plot on the manga already. But reading it felt quicker/better.) scored it 7/10. Starting with season 2 it got better and reached a really interesting arc in season 3, half 1. (Both were 8/10 score-wise for me.) Interesting reveals and it felt more fast paced and more tension in the plot from season 2 already. Season 3 will have another good arc. I know this from the manga already and so far from episodes 1-3 they showed a good adaption. Might maintain a 9/10 score for me personally. (But I don't like the manga where it is now ... thoug animated it might be more fun.) |
