I got bored after an ep. Was just another 'big blockbuster' that was overrated + overhyped.

At least one similar opinion I have with one of the resident animu experts, con "how do i play demoman" ductor. It's fun for some eye candy but that's about it. I suppose it's at least probably better than Guilty Crown.

if you enjoy the plot read the manga, the anime has too many recaps and the pacing is awful

anime hipster

I have a feeling your opinion might be different if you made it to episode 5-6

Why don't they build bigger walls?

the episodes' pacing lately has slowed to a crawl. an entire 30 minute episode spans the entirety of like, 10 fucking pages from the manga?

sad 2 see i wont be gettin to see the parts i give a shit about until next season :(

episode 21 is really epic. lots of fights.

Episode 21 made my jaw drop.

I just finished watching it, it was so good i had to share

finally someone who agrees with me. My friends have been scolding me since day one about not enjoying that anime it wasn't really the type I'd enjoy i think the take on it was a bit too different from most anime so i couldn't really get comfortable watching it. It also felt very awkward to watch considering how repetitive the main aspects of the anime are.

The whole humans are afraid and showing true human emotions thing gets repetitive and i want to see difference but no everyone is fucking cowards to show realism

okay james fine I'll make a stupid post for you

I watched through episode 16 and have read everything that's drawn of the manga, it isn't a great series it's like a 7/10 at best. The beginning half of it is entertaining but the second half is just terrible.

the art is kinda interesting but the plot is just cliched shonen shit that anybody with half a brain can see coming from a mile away, the fight scenes are the best part and those are only even any good in the anime because they're a huge budget dump. The new "plot twists" in the manga

are some of the stupidest shit I have ever read. Everything about the series is completely unremarkable.

the concept of the series is unique but the writing is so much like generic shonen the series becomes bland and stale. okay series but nothing to really write home about.

Its probably the only series I've watched in years so I don't have much else to compare it to, still good doe

last ep was pg, last few before were fuken zzz though

I wouldn't mind the build up if i didn't have to wait a week for each ep

this is the exact reason why i wait till series are finished being made or at least far to watch them. I cant stand having to wait for a series and watch it peice by peice.

Cliffhangers

Picked up a whole bunch of shows recently cause i can't stand waiting a week for the next breaking bad ep

I remember watching the first 10 episodes the whole night because I just wanted more. The recent episode was one of the best too.

^ caught up to the manga. kinda died out of the anime since I know what's gonna happen next.

I don't even like anime but that shit is good. 12 people, each given 100 million/8 billion yen to "save" Japan. So good.

I liked the opening.

Also this is a shingeki thread, there's a general animu thread somewhere probably

The series got worse for me, not better. The "plot twist" turned it into a typical

battle shounen anime.

i'm waiting until funimation gets going with releasing episodes. i hope it's as good as it looks like from what i've seen.

not sure if you're down to take suggestions, pure, but check out casshern sins, deadman wonderland, eureka seven and/or the legend of the legendary heroes. they're not entirely similar to AoT, but they might interest you.

I'll assume you're talking about episode 5

that's just for shock factor. a bunch of battle shounen's have that.

I dropped AoT after 9 eps out of boredom. I would've dropped it after like 3 but people had been hyping it up a lot, so i gave it more of a chance

The manga was good (though it's gotten a bit boring, next chapter actually looks more interesting), and the gif's from the anime makes it seem like the battle animation quality is nice. Never could actually pick up the anime though, but it's apparently the next mainstream anime. I couldn't stand to watch the anime after reading the full, tried it with Fairy Tail but realized it was a waste of time.

I've chosen to instead watch Uchouten Kazoku. I guess I don't like many shounen battle anime (which surprised me when I read that manga since it wasn't in a seinen pub).

I like it because the story is unique. The violence is well done, and it's something new.
