Exactly! I was really interested in 20th Century Boys at the beginning, but then it just got all wtf. And honestly, I was like who the fuck cares who "Friend" is, shoot the fucker and let's move on.

Yeah, AoT isn't perfect, but I don't mind going along with it for the ride to see how it ends up. TBH I prefer a series that tries to have a real plot (even if it's not paced the best) over the fluff that barely even pretends to be cohesive or properly planned.
You're definitely right on him always focusing on one plot element - maybe that's his big weakness, really. Only one thing can be spotlighted at any given moment, so the plot ends up kind of disjointed. But I am having fun, so I don't mind :)

I felt the exact same way about 20th Century Boys, let me tell you.

Same. Isayama's storytelling and art might be on the rough side, but it's honestly that what makes up for it.

So many anime these days feel like a collection of tropes, rather than trying to construct an actual story. So I definitely appreciate that AoT is a plot-driven series, no fanservice. It makes me hope that maybe its success will lead to more people to try and pull off grand plotty stories rather than moeshit all day...

At least someone agrees with me! So many people seem to love 20th Century Boys so much and I was just annoyed for most of it.

Yeah, Shingeki is refreshing for the genre at the moment, and you have to give it kudos for that.

Honestly, I feel like the rampant 20th Century Boys love mostly has to do with Urasawa worship. Other than the start, it was just a mess, and it felt like nothing was ever getting resolved. Annoying's a good word for it.
