It begins again.
nobody cares retard I remember your dumbass
Kek I almost thought for some reason this might be the greatest anime of all time when I heard the music. Crazy how special this anime was. I don't think it's the greatest of all time tho
Lol, famous last words.
So interesting watching it back. I didn't process shit like this as a kid. Its not crazy deep or anything, it's just the fact that this isn't how a Shonen would depict it. The world is real, whereas Eren is Shonen. Usually, both the world and the protag are Shonen.
>>198581177AoT is absolutely riddled with shounen tropes and awful writing/direction.
>>198581204I don't see that so far. The tropes are contained to Eren as of now. But we'll see.
I unironically baseded when the music started playing.
>>198580689biggest waste of potential ever, isayama really had no fucking clue what he was doing.
>>198581269honestly it seemed like he had a plan with he whole 2000 years thing, but yeah the ending was a fumble.btw, this might unironically be the greatest shot in anime television.just because of the context of what comes right before and what comes after.I didn't expect to get this giddy about rewatching it.

>>198581287>>198581265>>198581177>>198581001Don't you get embarrassed watching this stuff?
I wouldn't mind rewatching it actually, it's pretty good until they leave the island
WIT>>Mappa
>>198581305Even the most normal of normalfags who find anime weird and lame still watched AOT. It was that big
>>198581337It wasn't. Stop exaggerating.
>>198580910They dropped the ball as soon as it degenerated into titan shifter bullshit, the stakes became zero when the characters can magically regrow limbs and do fake deaths.
kek I will make this a reaction meme
>>198580910I think it's like a Top 3 series for the 2010s decade no matter how you look at it
>>198581357This. The show was unsalvageable once they baited Eren's "death" and it became shonen slop once he transformed. What a fucking coward.
>>198581290Kekz this is the most reddit thing I've ever seen and...it's based
>>198581386lmao not even top 3 normie tranimes>DBZ>Naruto>Bleach
>>198581337Nah, maybe S1 and S2, but once Annie vs Eren was over most ppl fell off from this shit cept the diehard weebs.
>>198580689gay
>>198581357Thr problem is that it has no drawbacks. It's literally just going super saiyan when in reality that shit should take a HUGE toll on a normal human body.
>>198581305Dude you don't get it. I was 11 years old when this anime came out. I've gone through so many phases of this anime. First thinking Naruto was better and cooler. To thinking it's actually kind of interesting when I binged the entire manga in highschool, to thinking Bleach was better and cooler. To having a newfound appreciation for it when I looked more closely at the characters and how surprisingly human some acted. To now...my memory of the series is hazy. I stopped reading early into the timeskip arc because I was caught up and tired of waiting.It's just fun to ACTUALLY look back at the series now that I'm much older and try to understand what made it so different and gripping. Mind you, the series didn't become the phenomenon it was until right before the timeskip arc I think. In the anime.
>>198581408that's why I specified the 2010s decade, I was mostly a casual observer of this series but the hype was strong, maybe even the most hyped/buzzed about show for that time period
>>198581389It could have been salvaged if they had the balls to kill M*kasa and Captain Manlet. Titan shifters are bullshit but not as much as God-mode Mary Sues that are supposed to be normal humans.
>>198580689It was really averageSo many boring flashbacksEven in battles they have flashbacks to how they actually planned for this the whole time and it's all according to plan and now they suddenly start winning
>>198581475>Even in battles they have flashbacks to how they actually planned for this the whole time and it's all according to plan and now they suddenly start winningBased unique shonen showing again how it's actually unique by having actual grounded tactics and not just being "my kamehamerasengan Is bigger than YOUR rasengahamehameha!"
The ending is shit. Eren really needs to grow some balls.
>>198581438>having AOT be a cornerstone memory of your childhoodFuck I feel bad for you, it's like a child eating sugar and not realizing it's shit. Anime truly was a mistake.
>>198581337I have lived in this college town since it first aired and have maybe heard 1 person mention it. Then again I don't ever have a reason to bring up anime in public.
>>198581516You right now. Getting eaten by the Titan, totally not coping that you don't actually want to be saved, just like Erens mom kek
based aot enjoyer
>>198581438>11 years old when it came out Stop posting here.
>>198581453(((Pieck))) my beloved...
>>198581453piecku best grill
>>198581552Faggot did you just larp as us being in the AoT world? Faggot im still here, lol titan eating and all. Go get help kid.
>>198580689Shit show. Very cringe.
>>198581750>Stop posting hereWhat are you talking about retard? I'm more than old enough now.
>>198581305Are you underaged or something??
>>198582014True but Reddit is more your speed for making a tranime thread on /tv/. Post on the right board or go there.
>>198581386yes i think so too, its the perfect example of how a show is subverted in these years
>>198581438>to thinking Bleach was better and cooler.Bruh
It turned to shit once all the marley shit was introduced.
>>198582086no, that's when it got good
Anyone else think the show should have ended at the end of season 3 with the whole Marley reveal and leave things open ended after that?
>>198582072Bleach and DBZ are everything good about anime. Cool character designs that couldn’t work in any other medium, simple story that only really exists to give stakes to the crazy over the top fight scenes.All this new anime trying to be 2deep4u while being a children’s cartoon is MEGA GAY
It turned to shit when Isayama developed brain worms and started consuming Marvelslop. It probably happened just when Game of Thrones was ending. He was a huge fan and the ending sucked so he dropped GoT to go look at something else and found Guardians of the Galaxy.While the tranime had a lot of enjoyable things they were all mystery boxes filled with shit. The real moment where it's revealed that there is nothing but shit in the mystery boxes was the Annie pie scene. The entire anime builds up all these things and when it hits the climax Isayama finally starts wrapping things up and revealing things. Oh this Annie character who has been gone for so many years people forgot about her? ''SHE IS EATING PIE DOHOHOHO XDDD''Every second after that is just more disappointment as the tranime shits on everything that came before it. I don't think a single character got away without being destroyed by the end. Even Erwin who is dead and can't be ruined came back as an actual force ghost to give a thumbs up for cringevengers killing all their people, like that's the climax of all Erwin set out to do.The way they didn't let Levi have a dignified death and instead bring him back as a pathetic cripple who is just a joke. Completely ruining Eren making his motivations be ''lol idk why I did that, I am le stupid and wanted to kill billions for no reasons XD lol I caused the genocide of my entire race and everyone I ever loved? LOL''Isayama went out of his way to make this shit as bad as possible and make sure every single character is hated by the end.
>>198582270agreed. aot is awful.
>>198582315okay damn I can't argue against all this, how do I cope AOT bros?
>interesting premise>but actually the protag is super special with super powersLame
>>198582726>>but actually the protag is super special with super powersthe Japanese can't help it
>>198582315It was the editor.The real ending is still there. They didn't let him write an ending where eren wins.
>>198582315based and isayama-pilled.it became clear that isayama writes off his current mental state when game of thrones ended - that's when the story turns bleak as fuck retard pilled.him admitting to watching marvel slop and enjoying it was the final nail in the coffin to me expecting good writing.
is this a bot thread? i feel like ive read these posts before
