so, monster survival series where the plot went all LOLWUT in the last third or so?
do I have them all? yeah? okay.
tpn lost the plot earlier but I'm including it because fuck that series. all the tension disappears after goldy pond (that'll be season 2 or 3 for you anime folks). imagine the exact opposite of what we have now in aot, lets say the series stayed mostly a monster survival series but we know there's now intelligent titans who have culture and shit. this starts out decent until after the end of the last good arc (goldy pond, s2 or s3 to be for you anime folks) and without warning the series which had been giving you information that you felt the characters earned and built up to, is suddenly all information is withheld from you but not the characters unlike before, the tension and danger disappears entirely, and eren talk no jutsus his way through everything, and the whole series is happy happy conveniet convenient all the way till the end where eren convinces the titans to stop eating them and they all live happily ever after the end. attack on titan I still find entertaining no matter how much isayama fucks up. promised neverland actively bothers me for how sudden and severely it collapsed.
now gantz I actually liked phase 3. I remember people HATED it when it was still going, but I got into it late so I got to read most of it all at once. that series was lolwut all the way through, it was only natural to LOLWUT the lolwut for the last arc. he forgets to explain a LOT of shit he built up in phase 2 (fucking vampires) but the ride was so damn good I didn't care. anything important gantz is ever trying to say is in short term arcs. when ridiculous shit and sudden deaths happen they don't fuck up existing narratives because they were finished several chapters ago. but it's got enough long term story to keep you invested, it's not completely episodic. this mumbling anime person gives a better argument for the series than I can
anyone want a good monster surival series like attack on titan was early on? read gantz. it's better written, more bizarre, better drawn, yet strangely heartwarming and down to earth when it needs to be.
