I know isiyama drawings were bad at the beginning and he had improved since. But is it the only reason or some other factors? I am really curious.

You must be living under a rock til now.
Manga ending was highly controversial and many people disliked and rated it lower.

'8.58 is so low' your eyes. Be happy that your favorite manga has over 8.5 rating.

well obviously there is such thing as "controversial ending" so the rating differs and 8.58 is already pretty good for a manga rating.

I promise you, there are mangas rated 7.5 and they are ten times better than AoT.

1st of all 8.6 is not a low rating
2nd, AoT was 8.8 before ending but then dropped to 8.6
I still though rate it a 10 because it's amazing overall

It is literally because of the ending. Because it was trash many people gave it 1/10 instead of rating it as a whole. If it had been good and liked by everyone then it would probably rise over 9 and top berserk.

If you dont count the ending then 8.58 is very low for a manga of this caliber.

When the ending undermines 3 characters and turn other 3 as a living jokes, shits on the narrative, gives a contrive and nonsensical conclusion…then a 5 is the best you can get, and that’s being generous.

the ending caused the 1/10s to go up like 0.6% from when it was 8.78 most of the peole are like me and just lowered their rating by 1 or 2

Yeah it dropped a lot after the ending because many fan gave it 1/10 beacuse of frustration, what I don't understand as well why wasn't it so much higher in the first place. The first 123 chapter was Berserk level of storytelling and even around then it was nowhere near 9...

Well yes for a manga like AOT who had the potential to be the best story ever 8.58 is pretty low indeed, but you just need to read the last 3 chapters and understand the reason of its downfall

8.58 isn't bad at all...

Also, the final arc is a mess and the ending itself is poorly executed at best. Endings are paramount.

I personally rated it 8/10. It was 10/10 up until the final arc but then the lack of effort in some of the drawing, the mess of a plot and the cringeworthy diaglouge really ruined it for me.

It had one of the worst final arcs Ive ever read. The last 12 or so chapters were torture to get through. Not to mention a lot of dumb shit that happened even before then. Up to the Attack on Marley I had it a 9 out of 10, before the Rumbling Arc an 8, after the Rumbling Arc a 7. The only other final arc of a manga that made me drop the anime was Shokugeki no Soma.

Don't take scores on MAL too seriously, people just use their scores as an excuse to throw tantrums lmao
The ending was either love it or hate it, and people decided to say the whole series is bad because of it (even though I think it's one of the best endings in anime and manga history)

Aot deserved lower than this. Even before the ending. It was never a goat tier manga. Till ch123 is good but after that it went straight downhill in terms of quality. Aot Anime is great though but it's manga is not that good

8.58 is most certainly not low. It astounds me seeing people make threads complaining about a manga or anime ranked 8 and over being "too low rated".

It shouldn't matter either way as long as you enjoy it.

Do you seriously not read anything else?

Because if you thought Attack on Titan was going to top Berserk, you haven't read anything else. Even at its peak, AoT was sitting quietly in the top 50 with ratings around 8.7 or something. Isayama could trade his own soul for an ending that would've satisfied everyone, and it still would've stayed where it was.

I've read berserk, its an overrated piece of shit. Its rated 9.5 because you fanboys live in an echo chamber full of elitists.

Until very recently, a manga like Tokyo Revengers had a higher score than AoT LMFAO. 8.58 is 100% too low of a score for a series as "peak" as AoT especially considering some of the mangas that are above it. Definitely shouldn't be Berserk level or probably not even in the 9's, but higher than 8.5 for sure.

AOT got so popular and mainstream because of animation and ost. Plot and narrative is good but 8.5 should be enough for the manga. Art style was bad in beginning and the conclusion (which is as important as whole story itself) didn't reach up to the mark of the storyline. So 8.5 is generous too. Above 9, it will reach in the leagus of Berserk, Monster which AoT clearly isn't deserving.

It deserves at least 9+ . But the ending describes it all . But 8.58 is not a bad rating . But it is not a good rating for a controversial manga said to have one of the best stories . I think except the ending it should have had higher ratings




Complex Stories are basically sleeping pills . Helps to get some sleep .
