Attack on Titan
Peco said: lol they love it sooo much that they cant even bother to watch it.. from 1m users in S1 to 20k now, smh my head LOL >Season 1 aired in 2013. >Season 3 part 2 is currently airing and many people rate a show after it's finished or has completed certain x%. >Many users from 2013-19 have already left this site, perhaps rated season 1 but aren't there for this season. >Many people binge a season after it's airing. >Some dropped the show because it didn't get along with their taste. So, yeah, stop acting like an edgy teen when you claim yourselves as an adult >20 y/o. You didn't even give any constructive criticism. When objectively s2 was better than s1 |
| To correct you OP, SNK not universally loved, it's popularly loved, there's a difference. For example Pokemon (as a concept) is universally loved. SNK is just your typical edgy survival plot with a shounen twist by a mangaka who could barely draw at first. Of course it would be popular with teenagers. |

| The author himself said he got inspired by Sidonia no kishi. Just removed the harem and transposed in a medieval steampunk universe. It was a good idea though, I'll give him that. |

Sidonia no kishi began serializing april 2009 and SnK began serializing september the same year. Isayama first came with the idea of AoT with his zeroth volume which he drew in 2006. And he never told he got inspired with any japanese series. I've read many of his interviews. His idea came from his hometown which was surrounded by mountains and cannal walls which gave him the idea of humans trapped within walls. And yes, could you please rephrase the term "edgy typical survival shounen" because I can't see how does it qualify for the same. |

I've read all his interview and he never once said he got inspiration from that series. @ThatShiny_Hex He did say he got inspiration from the muv luv game back in 2006 and there is plenty of other series that inspire him during his journey with snk, what you say is also true as well, its a mixture of both. |
| Haha Muv Luv, that's even worse. |
|
| No offense I was just here to explain why it's popularly loved, not universally. For example a typical edgy thing is the hero was a killer as a child. It's a stereotype that date back to Musashi, it's stuff you see all the time (FMP, Black Lagoon, Chrome Shelled Regios, etc). The shounen element is basically youth with friends and effort (to save their lives, with lots of gore, edge+2), action is often structured around a map/levels which is also typical of shounen because it needs to be clear so young readers can understand. Again intrinsically there's nothing wrong with it, but it's not universally loved. |

| if we talk about anime then def visuals add to its charm,and manga wise the way story is constructed |
| Attack on titan is like Game of Thrones atm |
nanidatosama97 said: magaiverix said: Attack on titan is like Game of Thrones atm I really dislike that comparison with a burning passion, its like, game of thrones didnt do it first, ya know? Just cause aot has lots of death doesnt make it GoT the anime imo. Attack on titan is like Game of Throne's last season last epics |
| Attack on Titan is one of the more thought-provoking manga of the 2010s. This doesn't always translate well into the anime where they're more interested in flash than substance. Where the anime shines is the way it conveys emotion. People regularly give this 10s because there are moments where anyone would get goosebumps, like when Bert and Ernie are on top of the wall and the flagpole snaps while youseeBIGGIRL is playing. No other anime captures the anxiety of the characters like this one. White_Wolf0 said: Man this show might be the greatest thing you every watch im serious, all the mysteries,action,blood, and some other stuff it's just great. There's no replacement for this show either really there is non. Also this! Attack on Titan is at this rare balance of realistic parallels and fantastic execution that makes it irreplaceable. It draws fans that checked out of anime after '06-'07 back into the medium with western themes, design, and mythology. I stopped watching anime for a long time until someone showed me Erwin's famous charging scene. Now I'm back to watching anime and picking up new recommendations since this restored my faith. |
| It came at the right time and it's amazing. |

| I don't know man, I dropped it twice. |

| Actually answer is really simple , it's masterpiece and that is all |
 "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." |
| Lmao I lost the count how many times I've seen this same thread created in the SnK boards XD |
BestBoiEren said: story, plot , world, characters, mystery, everything also compare it to other anime 99.9% of them are trash, so not hard to be a masterpiece in this industry (like other popular ones which are garbage are: fate, bnha, shield hero) just to mention a few Bruh get your head outta your ass. Even though AoT is pretty dope, don't put down every other show especially if they are popular just to prop it up, its lowclass & immature. |

His/her half vocabulary consists of "trash" and synomyms for that word and the forum contribution can be reduced to one liners and shit posting. Not worth the effort. |
| The answers like "it is just a masterpiece and that's all" shows that the majority of the viewers of this show are blinded and inmature fanboys, and the proof that this show is just an overrated battleshounen cliché. And now they will come and will call me a hater :D (i am not, i enjoy AoT, but it is far away from masterpiece) |

| I agree with you OP. I don't dislike SNK by any means, but it's definitely far from spectacular. I have fun with it whenever I watch it, but it's something I literally forget about the next day. The character development, while not necessarily entirely bad, really isn't anything worthy of praise, either. I will say that the visuals and animation are quite stunning, though, as well as Sawano's work on the soundtrack. But do I find it to be deserving of anywhere close to a top spot on MAL? Certainly not. All of that said, I do understand the mentality of its fans. People will like what they like, and love what they love. I have plenty of shows I'm overly biased towards as well, but it doesn't make them great from a critical standpoint. But at the end of the day, who really cares? |

Your put downs mean nothing & signify nothing, just you acting like a child. A person with actual maturity wouldn't resort to such unnecessary insults without any actual reasoning or basis. It is only pitiable because it is your very nature & nothing can change that but that doesn't mean I can't make fun of you for being a whiner on occasion. |

It's funny how you think I care about what a random weeb thinks about me. Not to mention that you have bad taste. fate at 7 ,bnha at 9... man you attitude is just as bad as the AoT haters xD operasinger said: BestBoiEren said: story, plot , world, characters, mystery, everything also compare it to other anime 99.9% of them are trash, so not hard to be a masterpiece in this industry (like other popular ones which are garbage are: fate, bnha, shield hero) just to mention a few you can't be calling popular shows trash with sao in your favs lmao the same goes for you |

operasinger said: nanidatosama97 said: Youre not much more mature by saying he cant have an opinion because of a show he watches. Also.. @BestBoiEren Calling fate trash while having Fate/Zero a 10/10 shows you are just being an outright troll That's how it works for him, he thinks others can't have an opinion bc of a show that they watch so that's the only way to make him realize what he's doing. I'm just giving him the taste of shit he gives others all the time thats a stupid argument, because he does the same most likely he is thinking the exact same thing you are its not really a justification just because someone steals your girlfriends cat doesn't mean you are allowed to steal his cat that way you will just cycle around triggering people to adjust to your thinking and they will bash shows you like, triggering people to bash shows he likes, triggering people to bash more shows, at the end ur all bashing each other doesn't sound like fun to me but hey to each their own xD |
