Mugi Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yesterday, I decided to take a small break and watch something other than Umaru and Gintama, and it came to my attention that I still hadn't watched Attack on Titan yet, assuming it would just be a repeat of the anime for SAO, which (in my opinion) was overhyped garbage, but I said fuck it and gave it a try. Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually pretty interesting, all the characters might as well have had red flags on them, but it was interesting. I still don't think that it's one of the greatest anime of all time, like a lot of people do, but it's certainly one of the better series to come out in recent years. And that soundtrack..I don't think Hiroyuki Sawano could disappoint me even if he tried. If anyone knows what the name of the song is whenever Eren transforms and the huge flash of lightning comes down, specifically at the very end when he's impaled, please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyrt Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Honestly the soundtrack was the best part of this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulless Watcher Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Attack on Titan was ok, there were some intriguing aspects of the story and the setting was pretty unique. I just had a hard time caring about any of the characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjriedstra Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 In my opinion, Shingeki no Kyojin is one of the best anime of the last five years. The biggest downside, as mentioned by Soulless Watcher, is that many (or all) of the characters aren't that likeable or relatable to an average person, but that may be an almost inevitable consequence of the setting and circumstances. It tells the kind of story about hardship, war and loss that we don't often get to see up close. Within the first few episodes we learn that in the Attack on Titan world, lives are cheap, and even struggling or doing your best often amounts to nothing. Living the type of cushy life where our biggest worries are things like being pressured at work and school or fumbling through our imperfect relationships, it's easy to forget that many people in our world face the type of life-or-death struggle to survive that Attack on Titan portrays. The current real-world refugee crisis is an example. This story is valuable as a reminder to be grateful for what we have. I had a hard time "enjoying" the story because of how authentic it was in its portrayal of suffering and death. It's certainly not in the category of anime that I like to watch over and over for relaxation and entertainment. But I'm glad I watched it once.

Deep Blue Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think all the characters are likable because they are like normal people, they are not in any way super heroes, all of them have big flaws (except for levi lol) The biggest point of the manga and anime is what you dont like mjriedstra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall SnK is game of thrones with titans instead of white walkers and without sex, manga is pretty good too (even thou i find last 3 chapters boring) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezioe Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I love Levi. But other than him I found all the other characters unlikable and I cared not when some of them died. Eren's a crybaby, tbh. And while I didn't expect Annie to be the FT, It wasn't like an OMG plot twist. It was like a wtf? They never foreshadowed it. There was no logical explanation for Annie to have become a titan. P.S. WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING BASEMENT!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
