If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

As usual I can't help but wonder if Bigfan is reading the same manga as the rest of us.

About death, it is more that they have shown so much of it up to this point that the readers should have gotten long immune to it. Like you said, you didn't really care. So they just have to look for ways of increasing the brutality of the said deaths or trying to attach meaning to individual deaths, see the most recent titan killing a character.


The solution of course is to not read or watch SnK then look derisively at anyone that does.


I know people like that! \o/

zzzz forgot to watch Kaiji/Noein yesterday. That means two episodes from both some time today. Oh well, I'm going to my old high school to coach which basically means I won't do anything.

There is a reason I didn't bother specifying, because it was mostly wrong lol. If you haven't read since August 2013 though then I guess that'd explain most of it.

If nothing else, having a voice helped a lot with the autismoe. It was horrible to read but far easier to stomach when there is a voice attached to it.

Having eren as a titan works because it provides impetus for change. It also raises some questions. Compare that to the introduction of the other titans. What do they add to the story? Sure, they make things more complex, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. Same with the government stuff. It's not even well executed politics or anything, and can basically be summed up as "the government is shady and must be evil". There was already an insurmountable foe - the titans. Adding even more antagonists is kinda pointless in that sense, and doubly so if the execution sucks.

Also, as more plot twists get introduced, that means more pages and time have to be dedicated to explaining said developments, which usually means that the pacing suffers. Having "a lot of interesting questions" doesn't mean a thing if they're never addressed, or poorly explained. If 20th century boys couldn't do it, I have no faith that snk can.


+ Show Spoiler +
I think making things more complex is not necessarily a bad thing if things eventually get worked out. I do not know how the manga deals with it seeing as I have not read it (and not sure if I ever will), or if it deals with it at all, but with the anime it felt like they were setting up a next season. Which is okay really.

The keyword there is "if". Name me one anime or manga that successfully used a complicated story with lots of plot twists and I can name ten that screwed it up. The sad fact of the matter is that bad writing is pretty prevalent in this sort of work, and I really doubt that shingeki is any different. As I said earlier, if 20th century boys couldn't do it, what hope is there for shingeki?

To be honest I wish I enjoyed everything I watched. Although, I know I like a lot more than most of the people here. BigFan has surpassed me and then some.

lol I guess that's a fair point but to be fair (again lol), even in some of the animes I've liked, there was room for improvement. I don't believe you've missed my big essays that I used to write when I first came to TLADT

I guess to be fair, there were several animes that I'm on the fence on or disliked a bit(SD on the fence(have to give author credit for the guts to write it as he wanted though), Haruhi is ok so far (taking my time to finish it) and SDM (last 6-7 episodes were boring and felt dragged on lol)). Overall, I like most because I see each anime as a different story and I'm willing to put up with some flaws if the experience is enjoyable enough I think that's pretty much the only way you can like as much anime as I do XD
