Does anyone else find Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojiin boring?

I actually liked it a lot, but I don't get bored too easily so my opinion probably shouldn't count. This was the first anime that I'd actually watched like ever so maybe I was excited and thought it was the best **** in the world, but I do agree that they take too long in some episodes to get things done. And then in the last few it's like they do too much.

At least you didn't watch Dragon Ball Z - They take episodes to get things done. ^^
 
It was attention grabbing, one of a kind anime for me. Nothing was boring about it to me, each second had it's purpose to me.
The only thing I happened to get upset at was the ending.
 
I only watched a few eps but read the whole thing through two months or so prior to the anime release because /a/ and a friend kept raving about it. I enjoyed reading the manga a lot despite the er less than quality art of non-titans.


The anime did a good job! I don't quite understand the immense hype for it, I think the fact that it's aimed at a popular audience and still retains the edgy gorn feeling makes people like it. Gore is a little boring for me (in the sense that I think jam looks similar) but whatever floats people's boats. My sister loves it.
 
My friend was constantly talking about how great it was and kept on pestering me to watch it and how I 'have not seen such a great Anime' so I just went 'OKAY OKAY DAMN GURL CALM DOWN'

I guess it's not boring, but I'm not as hyped as my friends are about it at the same time :/
 
I loved it a lot, I started with the anime and it was exciting for me because the endings were always cliffhangers and I had to wait a week for the next one, sometimes it did get boring but there was always something else going on that got me hooked. The characters are interesting, I didn't like Eren and Mikasa at first (actually I started liking them just like a few weeks ago...). I found their character extremely boring and I felt like they were just kinda there, no character developments besides since they were young/the flashback. But I caught up to the manga and yeah, things actually happened with them and I started to like them. Also because I have a friend who's like, obsessed with Mikasa and he would always, always prove me wrong about Mikasa so I guess ._. Anyway, my favorite characters has always been Armin, Jean, and Annie (PROTECT THEM AT ALL COSTS). The others are really good too though, I love all the characters now, Levi being my least but he's still a badass.
 
Honestly, I did get bored around episode 12-15 (don't remember exactly when). It's an okay anime, but I do agree that there's a lot of unnecessary dialogue. I was thinking of picking up the manga, I heard it's amazing and much better than the anime. so maybe my opinion of the whole thing will change if I do o:
 
It was pretty frustrating at times to watch when it was airing since a lot of episodes were just filled with unnecessarily long babble, but then at the end there'd be cool action and all that. I don't know--as a whole I liked the anime, but it did have its flaws, as every anime does. It had great fluid animation and I didn't ever find myself bored--just annoyed that they'd talk for so long and then there'd only be ~10 minutes left for action to take place. I don't get bored easily while watching anime so there's that. The manga had been becoming that way, as well; I stopped reading it when almost every new chapter was just them talking nonsense that I didn't care about--stuff that was so irrelevant and didn't have anything to do with what I wanted to know about.

That anime had an amazing OST, though.

I totally was freaked out with the whole mothers death scene. So I hate it all.
 
The OST is amazing. The pace of the anime is pretty slow. The manga shows plot but then suddenly drops everything and goes onto another topic. I kind of feel like the author is trying to scrape ideas together to finish it up. I'm pretty sure he didn't expect this manga/anime to gain such a fanbase.

I like it but am not an avid fan. I would have to say my favorite character is Annie.

I have a good friend who is super obsessed about it. She'll stalk websites to see when a new chapter is out and will reread the chapters about 6 times to "analyze" it.
 
There's going to be controversy over this but I don't care~

My opinion {sort of a rant - feel free to skip}:

There's too much unnecessary dialogue of stuff I already know, so the cliff-hangers pretty much build up my
excitement but the boring chit-chatter of the cast just decreases it tenfold. All the characters are too busy doing their dramatic gasps and monologues whilst titans are smashing buildings around them.

This unnecessary dialogue also adds to the unbearably long pace of the anime. The characters have an objective, yet it takes about five episodes before they complete it.

Also, I don't even like the characters. Eren seems like the cliche determined protagonist, Armin is the easy-going one who's trying to calm him down, and Mikasa has no personality; she just lives for Eren. Mikasa is such a Mary-Sue, too. In the early episodes, generals refer to her as "an invaluable soldier" who is "worth more than 1,000 soldiers". On top of that, she just happened to be top of her class during the training for military. Ugh.


What do you guys think of SnK/AoT?

Well I agree in a way.

The pointless chit chat is called character development, but I agree that it can be extremely slow. Sometimes it takes like three episodes for them to finally do something which can be annoying, which is why I decided to just read the manga. I mean you may as well watch Dragonball Z (lel).
 
i used to like aot a lot
but now that i realize it's really ****ty it's rather embarrassing that i used to like it
 
I like the anime, but I am into that dystopia and "new society" type of shows and books so yeah xD.
 
Yes, I don't even know what this is but it is the boringest thing I have ever heard of.

In most of the "character development", I find that you don't really learn much about the character; they pretty much talk about the mission they're doing, or regurgitate information that we already know about the Titans.

Apparently his original intention was to kill everyone off, but then it got super popular so he scrapped that idea. I haven't really looked much into that rumor myself, but yeah. Guess he doesn't know what to do so he's putting out useless chapters until he figures something out.
