Attack on Titan

Type: Anime

Score: 8/10

It upsets me greatly that people think this is good. I did really enjoy the first few episodes though.

Edit: Not as bad as I let own but still overrated as shit everyone such a whiny asshole. Some very cool ideas were going on though.

Edit 2: 6.5 -> 3, Nah actually I lied to you. I tried to rewatch this shit and this is so fucking corny holy shit I was dying. The sub isn't less cringy it's just harder to judge cringe when you're reading it as opposed to hearing it.

Edit: 3 -> 8, I think stockholm kicked in or something but I pushed through the corn and it led me to realise Attack on Titan really is something special. I can't really explain it but AOT is strangely captivating to me even if it took me a while to 'get' it.

Edit 4: Ok I just rewatched it once more and I gotta rattle off some things, not changing the score at this point because honestly it's still probably an eight, just gotta complain. First off I just gotta say I wish Eren was a more likeable character, he felt like a whiny piece of shit the whole time and his change to being actually deplorable would've worked a lot better if I had liked him in the first place. I've seen some people compare his transformation to Walter's in Breaking Bad but the difference for me is that I actually liked Walter so it had an impact when everything started going downhill, here I was just happy to see him fail. Secondly there are so many moments that just had me confused, Armin surviving the massive fall after being burnt to a crisp, Reiner being able to transfer his consciousness, Eren not reverting Zeke's pure titans instantly despite telling Connie he'd revert his mum, Eren being able to use the founders power to attack Reiner despite not touching any titan of royal blood, people from Paradis not having different accents to Marleyans and Eren not starting the rumbling in Marley, these are just off the dome too. I'm sure some of these have explanations but when I've Googled them it didn't get cleared up at all. For Eren not reverting the pure titans the most feasible explanation was that he just forgot because clearly Zeke's spinal fluid didn't stop him as he could save Connie's mum. Eren being able to use founding powers while not touching a titan of royal blood was explained by some guy saying that founding powers are like a battery and he just had a little bit of charge left to kill of Reiner with which seems like bullshit to me as the moment Zeke died the rumbling stopped. Rest of them just feel like bullshit with no explanation so I won't even bother. I'm not angry about weird things happening in a fantasy story, I'm angry about them being inconsistent. Last thing I gotta rattle off is I'm so pissed off that people shit on MAPPA's work for the last part of AOT, even with the CGI it looked way better than all the previous seasons, it's like people are forgetting the terrible riding scenes with the clearly 2D trees.
