Review of Attack on Titan

I dont do reviews, doubt anyone gonna read this, so I’m just gonna leave this for future self as a note. Obvious: Art, Design, Concept, Animation, Editing, Directing, Sfx, music are all 9 or 10 depending on the episode. Selling point: Action and concept idea is it, overall plot is very intriguing and interesting even when I watched it the second time. BAD PART: The part that made me cringe, get bored and even skip/ forward some parts.The written characters and the dialog. At points when the dialog and monologues are about the main plot it’s all golden good.
when the Dialog is about charcters it gets dull very fast. Most of the characters are superficial, do not feel real. A lot of the stuff that happens to characters and how they react is mostly repetitive, for example:

RANT ALERT
“I’m done, this is it, im dead/ humanity’s end/ etc”
30seconds later
“Never don’t give up!”
Dies or dies later

And who was that character? No clue, some side- character/ one liner/ plot tool/ something unimportant…

The main characters:
They have this one trait and they will always act upon it, like a random npc in video game (they have their main line, that they always repeat)

I get it, EREN, you said that killing titans is your dream only 5867 times in these 5 episodes. Funny, after 25 episodes, it still doesn’t feel like it’s his dream/ goal. Probably because they had hard time showing it/ developing on it (because they had to spend all that time on trying to inTroduce all these side characters, and make us relate/ feel for them), so they had to use mostly un-creative words and sentences.

Strength: Determination
Weakness: no-one special OH WAIT

Misaka (i think thats the name), actually felt more human than the rest of the crew, probably because she didn’t run around shouting her goal list every 5 minutes, has no weakness tho imo. Eren did not felt like one.

Armin had more inner dialog “I got to be stronk” moments than eren. And all of them sounded the same. And most importantly- FORCED, not by plot, but by the writters.

That’s how I felt really, like the writters are showing the character ‘development’ down my throat and screaming, that they are showing character DEVELOPMENT down my throat.

A lot of cliche/ anime power moments that stands out like a sore thumb, not subtle at all. NOTHING IS SUBTLE in this anime, considering writing characters.
idk if its the manga author or the tv writers, but it is L A Z Y writing.

And all these factory made side characters with their own ‘feel for me, before I die’ Anyone remembers Marco? I do, because it was shoved down my throat. I never cared for him tho. The blond sideburns guy - nope. Even Eren’s mother.

I could rant forever, Too much throat shoving for me.

END of rant, gonna go shove something down my throat
