I am confused about the Attack On Titan hype

407

I have tried watching it twice, but the charachters are just super unlikeable. Could someone explain what the hype is about?

Nah I agree with u I only started liking it at season 3 and 4.
I think people started liking it because it was a new concept of anime and I also a lot of people kinda like the dark concept that it shows within.

Season 1 and 2 are kind of decent, season 3 (specifically the first part) was absolute perfection to me.

  The first part of season 3 is actually where I stopped. Maybe I just wasn't invested in the characters.
  IBladez 4y
  Which episode did you stop on?

  S3 E4

  Hmm, episode 2 of season 3 was really good, and it was enough for me to get invested, you don't really have to be attached to any of the characters to enjoy the story I would say.

How many seasons have u watched ?
It is just an average anime at the start.
But after s3 , I think it is one of the few main stream in recent years which deserve the hype

S4 is my most fav season till yet

You should continue watching it after the 1st season if you really want to get into it Ig
Seasons 1 and 2 are boring as fuck, but the 3rd and 4th seasons are pretty good because it's when the "true" plot starts

its about the fight and wit sudio aswell as mappa had done a great effort on the titans.I enjoyed aot because of the titains. the characters are sometimes likeable. so what was the reason you did not like aot
zekespath 4y
just watch s3p2 and s4

You see, the characters are unique and the plot unravels bit-by-bit, which feels very thrilling. The fights are also hyped up and awesome. Maybe it is just not your taste in anime. Anyway, it is my second favourite anime.

I mean I loved all of it, so I can't understand what you mean, but I will not force you to continue watching if it's not your thing.

  Thanks. I was afraid you were going to hold me at gunpoint until I finished it.

  I would never do that when clearly not everyone is meant to like everything. What aggravates me is when people rub in our faces how much they don't like the same things as us, they ridicule it to the point that it becomes annoying and disrespectful.

aot probably just isn't for you then. I loved it since the beginning. Liked all the characters, the world, the themes, all of it was so perfect for me. But if you tried not once but TWICE and it's not appealing to you.... just don't waste ur time on something ur not enjoying. Never force urself to like something just because the majority does. So it would be fine to just drop it and find something better than aot for you. I think that would be the best course of action

  Yeah probably isnt for me. I guess im just more into romance and slice of life. Im still new to anime.

I totally agree with u dude. Actually if u see it, first 3 seasons are completely boring. People say that it has some awesome reveals. But the only reveals the first 3 seasons had were about the characters who were titans. I actually thought that whenever the writer didnt know what to write further, he turned the characters into titans to progress the story further.

But tbh, season 4 was way better than the first 3
- IBladez 4y
  Respect your opinion but, not sure what you mean by "only about characters who were titans" when s3 is all about humans vs humans?
  lmJustAWeeB 4y
  Yeah my bad. I should have written for the first 2 seasons. 3rd season was surely better than previous 2 seasons.

  Actually he knew what to write further, some may have not liked the realization, but he definitely knew.

Like some of the people here I thought it was amazing from start to finish. However, that is probably because I watched it when I was young when only season 1 released so I grew up with it. At first, I liked the action elements since I was a preteen but as more seasons released, my tastes also matured so I learned to appreciate the darker and more serious elements and character development rather than just BIG MONSTER HITS ANOTHER MONSTER and the 3D manuvering gear scenes

Just keep watching, atleast watch s3p2, everything uptil season 3 is basically like a prologue/buildup. Characters shine in s4

I've liked AOT since it was released although s1 isn't that hyped, and as the story builds up, it gets more interesting. Maybe this kind of story isn't your style but for me, it is a well-made anime. From character development and plot twist, it is really good. Well, it's overhyped but the hyped is worth it.
tgrnsodaa 4y
If you don't like it, don't watch it. Personally, I like AoT because of the world-building and story, not so much because of the characters.
Lonelybull 4y
I would say attack on titan has a really good narrative and even though I personally never got attached to any of the characters I still think that its plot is what makes it so interesting. But I can understand why it would be boring for you. Personally I found myself getting the hype only in S3 part 2. However even then I would not treat it as the best piece of fiction lol. Try to finish season 3 part 2 and if you still don't like it drop the show. S3 part 2 is a really good payoff to everything built up to that point

It has an amazing story and worldbuilding. Although the characters might not be likeable to everyone.

Some anime get so hyped up that when you eventually get to it, you think: "THIS is what people have been nagging to me about for months?". It's honestly horrible when people hype things up, anything, it doesn't matter. Always keep your expectations low and if you don't like something that the majority likes, that's not bad. Everyone has different tastes.

And keep in mind the majority of humanity are a bunch of sheep who just follow each other like a herd and can't form their own honest opinion. I'm not attacking anyone here, just clarifying

If you don't like it that's your opinion. However in my opinion from what I can tell you stopped RIGHT before where the best part of the story starts. I advise you to at least get past Season 3 Part 2, if you don't enjoy season 3 Part 2 even like midway through though you can drop. I think around midway through Season 3 is when the anime defines itself as a classic. But of course it's your choice!

perhaps come back to it or force yourself to get through it with an open mind. I was the same until I had a closer look 2 years later.
jajajanken 4y
no ur definitely right to wonder LMAO the first two seasons were ok third was p good but i just did not vibe w the final season like at all! i even read the manga so that ppl couldnt say "oh u have to read the manga to know" and yea by the end i literally hated all of the characters besides hange, levi, jean, erwin, and gabi
