Okay, with all the various fans and such I've seen asking me about why I don't like it, even though it's so popular, I figured I'd make a topic about why I really don't like
Attack On Titan.
You know, that famous anime series about the warriors who wear agility and maneuverability-enhancing gear, who face against these massive flesh-eating giants called Titans that have been terrorizing their city of refuge?
Yeah, I really don't find it to be a good series, and here are the reasons why.
First of all, Attack On Titan tends to get really annoying for me a lot of times. One perfect example was how it took Titan Eren 3 Episodes just to move that friggin rock! C'mon! I know it was big and all, but usually a task like that only takes just one episode. I could understand if it were a much greater problem or task, but that was just a waste of time and episodes.
Then there's all the various arguments and speeches we get from the characters. They are super annoying and they mostly consist of a lot of boring self-indulgent talk, meaningless jabber, and character dehumanization, at times not even relevant to the plot! It became tiring to sit through for me. I couldn't find any of the characters likeable.
But what about the action? We know you really like action!
Yeah, the action in Attack On Titan didn't impress me. It reminded me a lot of this other game series I dislike, "Shadow Of The Colossus." Like the warrior takes down a gargantuan-sized foe by running around, outmaneuvering and climbing up and around onto the enemy, and then stabbing him right in his weak point when they reach it (for the Titans, the weak point is always on the back of their neck). I never really liked Shadow Of The Colossus, and Attack On Titan reminds me of it too much with its battle scenes.
There were a few ones I do admit that I like though. Like Levi's Spin Dash attack he used in this one episode was rather cool, but still, I've seen better.
I should also mention that it is Way Too Bloody for me. I can handle blood to some extent, but not THAT much blood!
I also disliked Kill La Kill, Elfen Leid, Evangelion, and Fate/Stay Night for similar reasons too. Way too bloody for me.
Now the biggest thing that really killed the series for me was the ending. I have seen some not-so-good endings before, but Attack On Titan's ending was one terrible ending that really made me dislike it. I'll explain why as well as I can without giving away spoilers.
The ending to it reminded me of why that old series, "Lost," had a bad ending. Most of us know how that turned out. All we got were massive questions, and they quickly outnumbered the solutions. Bad idea when one of the important points of your series is watching on to get the answers. Just such big plot holes that aren't filled in at any point of it!
What Attack on Titan did was even worse than Lost. The ending didn't come up with a bad answer to all these questions to the plot. Instead, it did not answer the questions and added in even more questions instead.
Listen, I sat through 26 episodes of this boring show, I demand answers! Even if there's going to be another season, at least some of them should be answered.
All the fans keep telling me stuff like "You just don't understand" or "You just didn't get it!" I understood completely, Attack on Titan fans. You guys are the ones who really don't understand.
That is all. I understand if any of you guys like Attack on Titan, and I respect that. I just don't want more fans asking me if I like the series anymore, or trying to get me to like it. I have plenty of reasons to say why it's not a good series.
