Re: Attack on Titan

[(Anonymous)]

What it's about -- here's a basic (and slightly edited for spoilers) summary from the wiki:

Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by Titans. Titans are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest Titans. Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a Titan in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a Colossal Titan that appears out of thin air. As the smaller Titans flood the city, the two kids watch in horror. Eren vows that he will murder every single Titan and take revenge for all of mankind.

The biggest selling point for me was that while it's shamelessly grimdark it's still very engaging on a human level when it comes to the characters. Kickass female characters also. No fanservice that I can remember (if you don't count the anime's OP), and virtually all the women are depicted as competent and with their own agency. I also enjoy the mystery, speculation and theories, although I will say that's become weak in recent volumes of the manga.

Definitely don't look for too much information if you're planning on getting into it at all -- some of the spoilers are things the plot pivots around.

Are you think of the anime or the manga? Several spoilers have yet to air in season one of the show, and I think it's around Vols. 2 and 6-8 of the manga so far that the biggest reveals happen.

The manga's better in terms of pacing and storyline, but despite changing some things and putting a different emphasis on different aspects of the plot the anime's much easier on the eye. Isayama's art, especially at the beginning, could be either 'unique' or 'incredibly ropey' depending on your tastes. It can be difficult telling characters apart in early chapters.

Like someone else said, the early episodes and chapters are the most exciting, due to the sheer bombardment of reveals going on. If they thought the end of the anime season became overdone with politics, then I'm guessing they're not reading the manga because that's basically been the last year's worth of chapters. If you catch up from the beginning you might not have as much of an issue with the pacing, but having read through Vol. 1 - 12, I found Vols, 13 onward to be disappointing.

The shippy side of the fandom is fucking crazy, stay away from it as much as possible if you do find yourself enjoying the series. The meta/analysis/speculation side, however, is pretty interesting.
