Like, imagine crying about Biba when Eren ended up being the exact same character, but far worse.

This show is absolutely gorgeous, the characters are better, the music is better, the world is cooler, and the plot is perfectly fine for a big, bombastic action series. Where are the flaws, exactly? Meanwhile AOT is far too fucking long, the final season(s) look like sepia powerpoint presentations, all the characters suck, and the plot went so utterly off the rails that the show is unrecognizable from what originally made it cool.

cool it chief this shows good and all but calm down aot season 4 part 2 aint even done streaming yet. Best be glad most aot fans can't be bother with good shows or you would have them here chewing you out

It was good, but nowhere near as good as AOT or a lot of other shows, Vinland Saga, Jujutsu Kaisen, Dorohedoro, to name a few.
And, yeah it was nice to watch because WIT Studio always do beautiful scenery etc, but again I’ve seen nicer.
It’s an above average story, but a masterpiece it ain’t.

The problem AOT has. It is so fucking Overhyped and mainstream. I didn't seen the last Season I will see it then it's finished. I personal think it got worse after season 2. Went downhill for me
I'm getting tired of the fanbase too.

I see kabaneri, I thing 2 years ago. And must say i really liked it. I think it is not like aot at all. Then the say it is like aot then they haven't see kabaneri. And I love the art style and animation of kabeneri.

At least aot had a better plot than kabaneri did. I mean the whole plot in kabaneri depends on how hard Mumei f*cked up the situation with her stupid decisions

this show is literally non-stop movie quality animation while approximately 70%+ of AOT is still screens slowly panning left to right.

I ain't talking about its production. It's an anime original, so of course it's going to look good. Wit could actually make bank off of this unlike their situation with SNK. You don't see anyone making noise about anything else tho. The inspiration was hella blatant and it didn't build on much of it either lol

Also, "70%+," you really doing the maths here lmao

I heard it deliberately turns to shit on the second half but from what I've seen on the first half, I wholeheartedly agree. Prettier aesthetics and art, more fascinating world, less insufferable MC and a female lead that displayed more personality in fewer screentime than Mikasa ever did in all of the seasons. And honestly, knowing how shit the source material for AoT is, I would've been fine if Wit completely drop it that time to fully work on this one. There'd be more potential for improvement and less mainstream noise since it's an original too.

Edit: And there's trains, trains are great!

You probably went in for the action into AOT that's why you can't grasp the plot of AOT. It has always been about class system and systemic opression. And uncovering the mystery of the walls and opening up to the entire world only shifts the perspective and the scale of the stakes involved. And we really question what is really good and what is bad. I really don't care about the ending. The very thought of your doctrines(what you taught your entire life) being the exact opposite of what the ground truth actually is, is brilliant enough for me to accept that this show is not garbage. All the titan powers and action is just a means to present this exquisite idea. P.S. Kabenari borrowed the AOT director for making the show. So Kabaneri kinda owe it to AOT in that regard.

AOT is infinitely better than this shit fest also the ending to the anime was shit i couldn't even be bothered to watch the movie 4/10 yeah it may have gotten hate from AOT fans but it also contributed to the hate by being a shitty show on top of copying AOT… and this is coming from someone who isn't a die hard AOT fan, AOT is an 8/10 at best imo this show aint it chief…

This aint better than aot. I just cant stand the characters of this show. The plot is mid asf, the antagonist was stupid and ofc we got our dense and annoying mc. The fights has no build up. I don't know what made you think this is better than aot.
Aot surpasses this show in every aspect possible. Well I agree abt that ending of aot was shitfest but I don't know how you thought that this show surpasses RTS, Marley or even clash of titans arc.
You should have made a poll then we would have got a better picture.

The main character is ridiculously plain, and his voice actor is pretty bad lol. None of the characters really stood out to me. It was such an obvious ripoff of aot too. The fights weren’t really exciting. There was also like no character development besides Mumei. I’d probably give it a 5 on its own, but I personally thought it deserved a 4 for how much it ripped off from aot

this thread is proving that attack on titan likers are literally deranged fujos who just want to see the ugly boys fuck, or are skewed by the fact they're all teenagers with 12 total anime watched.

it kills me people are knocking Ikoma, when Eren is one of shittiest main characters of all time. He spends most of the series screeeeee-ing and getting kidnapped, and then becomes a fake villain who fails at everything. Literally a pathetic loser. This goes for all the characters, really. AOT's cast is incredible in that almost every single character is completely unlikable, and the author drops a bridge on the two or three that are. The plot is hamfisted trash below the worst of Gundam shows (not that anyone ITT has ever actually seen a Gundam series lmao). The art looks like shit.

AOT was honestly awful at every point after Eren gets eaten in volume 1.

ehhhh, there on par at best (overall) AOT’s high points for me puts it above kabenari. For me the ending really doesn’t matter - if i enjoy the journey of the anime then the outcome really isn’t that important to me. So while i still rate kabenari very highly (and i might’ve rated it higher if it was longer) AOT still is better. Also the opening of kabenari > any AOT opening idc what anyone says

I've personally enjoyed this anime more than the AoT series so far, but I don't really think it's appropriate to compare them. The environments, story, monsters, and anime design all seem noticeably different to me.

Kabaneri is much more focused on action, faster paced, and it deals with survival against basic trash mobs that threaten humanity.

AoT is more focused on stuff like infighting, glaring, being dark/edgy, moral grey areas, and characters changing viewpoints.

If these anime were similar, I would compare this comparison to the Fate series.
Kabaneri is comparable to Fate/Zero with how flashy and action-packed it is, while it's not deep.
AoT is comparable to the original Fate/Stay Night with how uneventful and development-focused it is.
They each have their own good points and flaws which resonate with different people.

Yeah, no. This show was way too contrived and full of plot holes. While I do think most of AoT's cast is pretty flat and it tends to drag sometimes, in terms of overall plot and consistency it's leagues ahead of Kabaneri.

"There are zombies who can only be killed by piercing their hearts, except any shmuck with a sword can cut their heads off because it looks cool. Their virus is supposedly unstoppable until the main character magically cures himself in the first episode so he can transform, then literally never brings it up again. A pink haired guy is pissed at his dad so he massacres the populations of two entire cities before running away because drama. Two major characters literally help him massacre thousands just to protect some villagers on a train and no one mentions it again because we need a happy ending where they all get reunited and literally ride into the sunset."

I don't know if I'd call AoT's politics meaningless since they feed into the overall conflict, but at least they make some kind of sense compared to this trainwreck (heh).
