This show is a reflection on how the standards of violence these days have gone up.So much Death and Gore scenes fill the screen.
Shows like Naruto and One piece have considerably less.
That is where the popularity of this show lies,the animation for the titans,the 'viral misleading" op.and the death and gore.
Characters are rather simple.No development.
Eren our preaching screaming hero.Mikasa our Mary sue who loves Eren and Armin where pointing out the obvious makes him smart.Everybody else exists to just die to add to the death scenes.
The training arc was a disappointment,instead of showing me how they will approach the titans in practice(that scene where they did only occurred in theory),shows me a faulty gear arc.
That first op is very very, misleading,most of the Titan killers wouldn't even dare
to approach them,Some would even stand still and monologue for no reason, Some would even SHOOT themselves out of fear.
Except for the one and only from the training arc, Mikasa, who lives only for Eren, can kill Titans
This show is no special symbol for Female empowerment.
In others words these people don't value their own lives and training,their deaths are meaningless.
Our main character becomes a Titan to save the day.Armin was always smart,so his first tactic did not show anything new to him,overshadowed even.Humanity vs titans?
Don't get me started on the Salute to save Eren,that certainly was "forced in". There was no thinking process involved and no link to their bald boss dude shown before.
Then Titanman goes into moral contemplation mode,needlessly for one episode and plugs the hole.
Learning that the titans are inactive at night was drilled into me due to their dragged out episodes.
And yet for their next expedition they travel in the DAY to find a female titan and not even go to the obviously advantageous basement as originally planned ...
Some would say would it be difficult to see at night.But who in their right mind would rather face an ENTIRE ARMY OF GIANTS.Even if the shows pulls the exceptions out of the blue, it would be rare and they would have strength in numbers.
At least somebody other than Mikasa could kill the titans,Levi and some in the elite squad.
Of course they lost to Evil Titanwoman.
Coming back to the city only to beat her in the end.With some new burning power by the main lead.Took them long enough to figure out it was Annie,thanks to Captain Obvious Armin.
This show has way more questions that answers which is a bad thing.The the story destroy itself over time?
This is just cool to look at and just for the action.This is neither a masterpiece nor a savior,its typical.All this show did is swap the romantic comedy genre tag for the Action.
The writing is on the same boat.OK to watch just for fun.But going too deep into it is a bad idea.
