I've recently got into Attack on Titan, and after watching the first 9 episodes, I can safely say that I've enjoyed this anime much more than I've enjoyed Naruto recently for 1 sole reasons, along with multiple smaller ones.
That reason would be the characters; 9 episodes into the anime, I can name list off major characters on one hand. That's impossible with Naruto; I've thought about this previously, and I've always noted that Kishimoto seems to introduce way more characters than necessary. He has so many characters that can/could have been developed much better (Haku and Zabuza, Sound 4, Akatsuki, Konoha 11, among others), yet he keeps bringing in more and more and more.
I get that Naruto is supposed to be a more 'fun' anime than Attack on Titan, but even Naruto's emotional moments pale in comparison to Attack on Titan's simply because AoT's characters are way more developed and emotionally believable. Already Armin, Mikasa, and Eren have displayed much more consistency in personality than Naruto's characters, mainly because there are just those three to develop.
Do you find yourself agreeing with me to some extent at least?
