Attack on Titan Griefing Thread - >tfw even your VA thinks that you're a loser

[God of Nothing]

I will meet you at 60% of it being great, the problem is everything fucking involving a Uchiha is such fucking ass that the series self Immolates in a way that Only Attack on Titan really topped.

I legit just watched Naruto again and I forgot just how stark the show was between "How good it is whenever Uchihas aren't prominent" and "How dog shit it becomes anytime an Uchiha shows up"

yeah, tobirama was right

 

[Quiet Guy]

Jesus fuck, shoot this shit in the head already and end it.

Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 2 Final Part Special 2 Final End Cour just fucking stop with this goddamn shit.

I actually laughed pretty hard at the ridiculousness of this. Sometimes life can be hard, but there can be moments of beauty in this world too.

I hope they add a final episode after part 2 part 2.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

I hope they add a final episode after part 2 part 2.

I hope that added final episode is just them showing how utterly BTFO the world's ecological system is by the Rumbling, and the islanders trying to deal with that.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

I just hope they deliver on the cuck face. That's all that matters.

 

[Oilspill Battery]

and the islanders trying to deal with that.

There's no islanders left. The last chapter reveals that they got nuked to death by f16s.

That was only in the last eight pages which were published separately. If they decide to adapt those pages, then just have it be the rest of the world trying to deal with it.

What are the odds that happens?

 

[Bunny Tracks]

What are the odds that happens?

I'm not sure. Considering what else those eight pages contain, I think they might just be used as an after credits scene.

 

[Oilspill Battery]

It falls on its face when you factor in Paths and how Eren would see through time though and yet still does the dumbest possible thing.

But he was like, confused bro. It was like, not totally clear, except when it was needed for the plot to continue. He was like insane, except when he wasn't, his insanity came and went as needed for the story to progress.

God, I will never forget that future eren went to the past to kill his own mom just to give his present self something to be angry over.

See, my assumption is they were or are, depending on sales, planning to set up an unnecessary sequel which blatantly rips off Saikano: the world's biosphere has been permafucked because 90% of flora and fauna was flattened to death and the planet is slowly dying. Humans are at war over what few resources remain and the last bit of unblemished land would logically be the prime target for conquest. Some kid gets the titan , using its power to fight off the invasion, until it slowly becomes apparent that it's all futile because the biosphere will eventually completely give out and humanity will subsequently starve to death. Cue some excruciatingly stupid genocide plan using titans.

Or maybe they find an even dumber way to completely reverse all the damage and fix everything forever using Titan wizardry or something.

A lot of people were saying that the ending is setting up Beren, but I don't really see how that could possibly pay out. Attack on titan isn't a traditional shonen, it is (or rather was before they fucked it up,) a mystery intrigue war drama with a supernatural hook.

The people caring about the mystery intrigue element ragequit after the basement and the people caring about the war drama ragequit after the finale.

Is the horde of brainlets that literally only watched to see flesh transformers beating each other up big enough to justify a sequel?

 

[Stanley Ipkiss]

This still isn't over? Lmao are they trying to kill all interest in it before ending it as a fuck you to Isayama or what?

Spoiler: Power level Funny story

Two months ago I argued with an anime-only co-worker for like a week that the show was shit and he thought it was the greatest anime he'd ever seen (surprisingly he's got good taste otherwise, which is why I kept arguing with him. The random segues into talking about actually good series and music was worth hearing him praise the final arc). He hadn't seen the ending yet and thought I was massively exaggerating how bad it was. The week I stopped working there, he told me the last episode was gonna come out just a couple days after my last day and he would judge it himself after watching it. I just assumed he'd seen it that week, and 2 months later I see they're stretching it out even more. Holy Shit.

The thought of him still waiting eagerly for it to this day is a sad yet hilarious one.

fighting words there as 70% of that series was great, and i'm tired of pretending like it wasn't

Yeah "Naruto is shit" is on par with "Nickelback is shit" at this point. That series was fucking amazing till the end of the Pain arc. 70% is very accurate and I can't think of any other series that ran that long and was good for 70% of it's run.

Good thing about Naruto is the end of the Pain arc works extremely well as an ending to the series. You could just stop there and have a satisfying story with no Uchiha Wanking.

I am Re-reading Toriko and got to the part that I fell off on and I remember exactly why I fell off..but the things I have heard is that it delves straight into the insanity soon, I am wondering if I will end up thinking the last third is good because the series decides to go completely buttfuck insane.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Something Naruto gets shat on for doing is the characters having compassion for one another, and actually fucking showing it by trying to talk things out.

Sure, it ends up going too far with it during the final arcs, but the point still stands. Using empathy, and trying to talk people out of hurting themselves, or other people isn't a bad thing-at least within reason.

Think of the Naruto versus Gaara fight where Naruto gets through to Gaara just by saying he knows how he feels, and how terrible it is. Just by doing that small act of compassion, he completely changed Gaara from a total monster to one of the kindest people in the series.

And you know, I can't help but think of how little those scenes happen in AoT, and how much it would've benefited from having more of them. Because the only time I can think of one happening in the series is during the Serum Bowl when Hange tried to stop a fight by hugging Mikasa, and saying she knew how awful it was to lose someone you love, and you know what?

It fucking worked.

 

[God of Nothing]

i feel so fucking vindicated right now for never turning on Naruto after it ended

If AOT had those types of scenes, the entire story wouldn't happen because it relies on everyone just blindly following Eren along until he actually commits genocide.

And also it wasn't on Breaking bad or Avengers so isayama wouldn't think to include it

I mean it's hard to deny that the last third just fell off a cliff. Without even checking you can tell that it was rushed. I was able to power through to the end but it was mainly just to see how it all ended.

I always felt the series was insane from the beginning and had a really interesting setup. The hardcore reverence for food and complex mix of nature and civilization was pretty awesome in my eyes. It just couldn't avoid the biggest problem that plagues any decent shounen from that era: Obsession with power levels.

This is why overly negative takes on Naruto annoy me. It didn't just stumble into becoming a worldwide cultural phenomenon. The first part especially carried very powerful messages that resonated with everyone, and I'd argue it stayed true to itself all the way to end.

Execution can always be criticized which is fair, but understanding what it was trying to say helped it go down a lot smoother on a second reread. Stuff like Gaara's transformation, Gai's "death" and the final chapter hit hard when you look at the themes (Empathy, passing on your will to the next generation, and stepping up when it's your turn) as well instead of just the execution.

To be fair to AoT, I think it established early on that it's not that kind of series, and Eren isn't that kind of main character. I don't think TnJ could've saved it as long as Isayama was writing.

I remember feeling dissatisfied during the war arc and not really liking how it ended, but I cant imagine not considering it one of the greatest series of all time warts and all. Something that gave me a new perspective on it was rereading it with the author's notes along with the chapters.
Also seeing a bunch of newer ones crash and burn before they even reached the length of Part 1 Naruto gave me a greater appreciation for Kishimoto.

The amount of fuckery from his editor, good and bad, makes me far more sympathetic of late Naruto Kishi. He just wanted it to end at that point and wrote himself into a corner trying to be too epic while juggling a bunch of themes. For most of its run, the series was great. It had a bit of a sour taste at the end, but it was still satisfying regardless.

Also seeing a bunch of newer ones crash and burn before they even reached the length of Part 1 Naruto gave me a greater appreciation for Kishimoto.

It was cathartic seeing that happen in real time. So many people hyping up these new series that can't even contend with Naruto's Wave arc when all is said and done. JJK fags go on about the mess that was Shibuya, MHA fags wondering how they fell off so hard, and Demon Slayer fags realizing it's average at best.

Oh, I agree that AoT isn't that kind of series, and that Eren definitely isn't that kind of character.

My issue is just that no one tries this approach outside of Hange that one time, and while Eren could never really be saved, having someone at least try to use empathy on him would've been worth seeing.

Naruto the character as a whole gets shat on way to much to be honest, and I think the Talk No Jutsu meme had no real leg to stand on. All 3 of Naruto's Major "talks" could really only have been done by Naruto, since he had a major connection to each of the 3.

Gaara had a tailed beast shoved in him
Nagato was trained by the same Master
Obito was his Generation's Naruto.

Right up the Cooking festival Toriko is better than I remembered it being, I know the last third was not as good as the rest but I fell off right after the Time Skip..I heard that it went absolutely batshit insane at the end and I am curious if it goes into "This is so Terrible and Batshit it becomes entertaining again" territory.

This is why overly negative takes on Naruto annoy me.

It think it gets really hurt by just how Long and Bad the War arc was...especially the Anime Version where it started at like episode 220 and went till episode 500 and HALF OF IT was random fucking filler and not like "Oh we showed Kakashi vs the 7 Swordsmen fight that was done offscreen in the manga" which was okay but like the fucking Flashback to Itachi and Susui that happened like 70 Episodes after Itachi died again.

(I forgive the Flashback with Guy's Dad though, because Might Dai is the most hilarious name in the setting)
