DEBATE: Is AoT 'peak fiction'?

904

Made this forum 'cause I was curious about the constant debates about the claim that AoT is peak fiction within the fanbase. I was just wondering on people's thoughts and opinions about the topic, I don't mean to stur up conflict or anything, just a civil discussion between fans of the series.

I dont mind if they think its peak fiction lmao, let them be. I think One Piece is peak fiction but its fine if u think otherwise. AoT aint even top 10 animanga/LN to me lol and yes I am caught up with manga
GgMese 5y

peak fiction is digimon: the first movie
chiraxxz 5y
It is peak fiction to me
VigorousJammer 5y
I mean, I like it. In fact, the later seasons touch on some really interesting themes and the show has become really exceptional as a whole because of this...
but I still don't know if I'd call it "peak fiction".
That term just screams of pretentiousness.

Its 4/10 at most

  i think that's a bit too harsh, it's good but not peak fiction
Leofc037 5y
idk about peak fiction, that is very debatable, to me it's up there but I wouldn't say it is the definitive peak. What it definitely is tho is a modern classic, you can't find many recent shows as big as AOT regardless of how good you think it is.
- Scipio 5y
  Sao, My hero academia, Naruto, Demon Slayer, they were all big as well lol, and none of those are that good.
  Leofc037 5y
  naruto is too old to be classified modern classic(it already is a classic tho). also there's more that goes into being a classic than being popular which is why most of those aren't. plus wether those are good or not is debatable, i would say most of them are good but i can see why some may not like them.
  Kastelhart 5y
  What makes a classic to you then if you even label Naruto as a classic.
  evenfall 5y
  naruto is a classic regardless if you like it or not, the impact it had on anime alone is enough for it to be labeled as one, same with attack on titan
  Kastelhart 5y
  Sao is also extremely influential, would you label that as a classic?

  Scipio 5y
  Yeah I also wouldn't consider Naruto a classic.
  Leofc037 5y
  it's hard to fully describe it, for that i've gone off of these videos for a while now. and on naruto being a classic, even if you don't like it, i think it would be pretty stupid to say it isn't. just off popularity alone it's one of the big 3 which is called the big 3 for a reason. the show is basically as big as dragon ball which undeniably a classic.
  
  Kastelhart 5y
  I'm not watching some video of a guy speaking for minutes on end, if you're going to be lazy in explaining your points then you probably shouldn't bring it up at all. You literally just said that popularity isn't all there is to being a classic to you, yet that's the only thing you've brought up again.

  But there are really good ones as well, and I like some of those more than AoT
Astroworld 5y
It's far from peak fiction imo.
Scipio 5y
No it is not.
gummettala 5y
its really good but not peak fiction
Removed 5y
I mean, no matter what, you can't NOT ADMIT that when this anime
arrived, it set its own storm on the whole anime community. Or that
it effortlessly stands out against any other series

Even if it isn't in your faves (cough mine cough).
End of discussion.
Schrez 5y
It's great,but not peak ficition imo
Removed 5y
Well people can say it's peak fiction or not, it doesn't mean it's factually either or

So it's really to each of their own at best
- EzzieMizuki 5y
  I was about to say this but since you already stated it, I'll just second this
AlmightyBismarck 5y
I would say stories like Berserk, HxH, Dunes, The Shinning, Vagabond, Vinland Saga, The Dark Knight Returns, Akira, and others shows are more iconic than AOT.

Because AOT more flaws compare these shows. And these stories are nearly perfect in terms of what stories they are telling.
TheUnicornDuckling 5y
Awesome anime for sure but I can't call it peak fiction. The later seasons were amazing but "peak fiction" sounds a bit much
AnimeLeviathan 5y
No one can actually say this. No one can say anything is peak fiction unless they've seen everything fiction that was created. Sure, they can say its the best thing they've seen. You can't even say its the best anime if you haven't watched every single anime. Which is much easier than viewing every single piece of fiction but still quite hard.

I personally think its the best thing I've seen, im sure other's think the same. But unless you've seen every fiction piece you cannot say that its "peak fiction".
BluBilly 5y
Attack on Titan is the only anime with the character Onyankopon so its automatically peak fiction.
- churro7 5y
  Onyankapon the goat no cap
Nocturnals 5y
Theres no such thing as peak fiction.
- BluBilly 5y
  Nah bro wym, ofcourse Berserk is peak fiction, its untouchable!111!!!!!
reed 5y
aot isnt fiction
KidSpud 5y
People freak out and act like AOT is the first show to do plot twists and foreshadowing, but it is generally a very well written show.
Barusu 5y
I could see it being considered peak fiction depending on its ending tbh. lots of people consider Lord of the Rings to be peak fiction but AoT easily has it beat imo, with its equally impressive worldbuilding, a far more engaging / well thought-out story and numerous thrilling scenes, as well as its realistic portrayal of human emotion.

seems like there's a lot of pretentious people in this thread though. to all the people saying it isn't close to being "peak fiction", I'd be curious to see what you consider to be peak fiction, lol.
BigRat 5y
it's just not that good like its ok but the manga is betterer
aquamatic 5y
I like AoT, but I wouldn't call it peak fiction. It's good and all, but I'm sure there are other shows out there that pass AoT.
BOLTTHROWER 4y
Greatest thing ever made, I really liked the bit where the titans eat people
