HAHAH man now I want to know and see you watch it

For an anime about killing titans, you barely even see any titans... there's too much chatter for my liking. Don't get me wrong, I do still like it, but christ I wish they'd just shut up sometimes. They just seem to constantly repeat themselves about everything.

Needs more titans. I can't wait for

Spoiler

the big ass titan fight from the manga animated, my god I bet that will be awesome.

I also really hate Levi. He's so boring. I will never understand why people love him so much.

I was really enjoying it until it was revealed that people could turn into Titans. I thought it was just going to be about people who were normal people, and could die. I thought killing off the main character was really ballsy, and I loved it. But.... nope. And that's why I don't like anime, generally.

 

[Zeiro]

I think it's really overrated nowadays.

 

[davidfosterwallace]

In general anime seems lackluster, but I have a specific gripe with the way the industry at large has no grace in introducing exposition.

The worst examples of this being a plot synopsis and explanation of the protagonist, by the protagonist.

As a fan, I will say I appreciate that everyone actually has valid arguments, and I agree with some of them.
The past few years it's taken me a long time to finish any anime, but it's mostly my fault. But with SNK I had to keep watching and I finished really quickly. I personally think it keeps you interested and that the characters are pretty good. I just kinda laugh/scoff at how they portray Eren as a badass hero in the OP/Promos/official art when he isn't really that. I think he talks the talk a lot but I don't hate him, but he's not a favorite. My favorite is obvious by my avatar; that character I related to and I think he develops well. I was 'eh' about Mikasa then and I am now. I think she's bland, not exactly inspiring or anything except for physical strength. She's really annoying in the chibi OVAs. Levi is just nice to look at, he's kind of an a-hole and is a Sesshoumaru-like character, so he's got the kinda bland, super-strong, 'good-looking' character formula. My sister loves him and even though I can't see why, I know why.
A really good character is Hanji
The toughest part of the anime to get through was when Eren had to try and move the boulder. Like c'mon. But overall I think it's really good and refreshing and has lots of stuff going for it. I love it and like how it shows that even when you're determined you can fail, things like that, because that's how real life is.

I don't see why you dislike/don't really like Mikasa when she and Levi are practically the same in personality, except we know Mikasa has a soft side and Levi's just basically an ******* (unless it's explained somewhere in the manga but I don't really read or keep up to speed with manga so I don't know). So I just hate this ridiculous hype over Levi because he is probably one of the worst characters out of them all. I have to agree that Armin is definitely the best character, though. I think he's probably the reason why I somewhat enjoyed the show (even though now when I look back on it I don't think it was as good as people hyped it up to be (mostly on Tumblr, anyway...)). Armin seems like one of those annoying, cowardly characters when you first meet him, and you think he's just going to be completely useless all the time and contain barely any plot development. However, I'm glad we were proven otherwise, because Armin is definitely one of the strongest characters in the anime... Mentally and probably emotionally, too! Which is what I'm happy about, because they didn't just make it all about how only those who are physically strong will survive best in a team, Armin was intelligent and mentally strong, so he was an asset to the team too.

Anyway, besides THAT, I found SnK boring and overhyped. The pacing was terrible, to be honest. I mean, I liked it, but looking back on it, I can't understand why people are so obsessed with it. It's really not the best anime I've ever seen...

 

[riummi]

yup i felt the same way during the first and middle episodes. Some are pretty much the same thing over and over again -_- but i have to say that i do look forward to the next season. plus i hated it when theyre always like "whats down in the basement" and it takes them like a million years to actually go there.

 

[Atsushicchi]

I've watched it and you're right about Mikasa. She just wants the d.

There's also an entire chapter like "oh people died ".

 

[Waluigi]

and that the characters are pretty good.

Seriously, though. I watched this anime, people convincing me it was good. I saw it, and it was, to bluntly say it, S***. The characters are rhe worst part. They are just 2 dimentional pieces of crap, not one is engaging and they bore you.

opinions i suppose.

 

[c h i h a r u]

Personally I don't get why there's so much hype for it. It seems bland to me.

Oh I don't like either Haha it's my sister who loves Levi. I just don't wanna be mean and tell her why he's not so great because she's young and a fairly new anime fan, she'll mature and learn how to spot better-done characters. Levi is an overrated character and he's only in like ten episodes? I do feel bad for people who are either turned off or 'wrf?' About it because of the fan base. I agree that it is a little too hyperactive, and that's coming from me who loves it, but I really understand that feeling because I get the same way when something is super popular. I'm actually surprised how much it's literally exploded in a fairly short time worldwide. But yeah Armin was the first character I found myself liking and he has the best development in my opinion : )

 

[riummi]

Before reading this: i really liked Levi because he's cool, calm, and collected.
After reading other comments: i agree that Levi isnt anything too get crazy about but in that episode where blank blank happened i could really tell that Levi cares for blank.
Eren: meh
Mikasa: meh
Armin: hmm

 

[Silversea]

I actually liked the series so far. It does seem to drag a bit but it often drags for a...semi-decent reason. Which is more than you can say for other things.

Still...lots of talking.
