nothing to speculate because the info is extremely sparse
I speculate with my friends all the time about AoT. There are A LOT of theories about AoT out there. People speculate about it very often tbh. Pretty much everyone I personally know says that this is a Anime/Manga that makes people speculate a lot and gives you a lot to talk about.

What in the? ... Yeah... that's called a mystery :|

You just solo'd your own post.
That is the template of a mystery

A mystery that is engaing something you can speculate about on the side as it goes is a mystery.

Aomething on going.

AOT reveals something and that people are left wondering what is and how it fits in until more is revealed

Tell me what you came up with,with all the mysteries/

Where do you think it heading ?

Whats the purpose ?

Nobody has to be right with there theories but the fact you cant make one is the point because there is nothing to go on.


AOT is for simpletons.

Go on about all the clever things you came up with in regards to the info the story has revealed to you.

All the mysteries are a dead end and make no sense without the author spilling more info

its a bird fees mustery its not something that one can pick apart while waiting for the rest to come out.You know nothing and will continue to be in the dark until he reveals it

a.k.a not a mystery as a mystery engages the audience

There is no two way connection its all wait and see.

a good mystery or plot gives people something to chew on even if there theory go way into the opposite direction..



Can you tie in three of the mysteries presented in the story together into something cohesive ?

Come on spin me something.

How is it all related ?

What is your theory on how this all ties into each other ?

Ahahaha, no. Just... stop :x3:

You seem to disagree with everything that's pro AoT so I really don't see a point in talking to some one like you anymore.

its a bird feed mystery its not something that one can pick apart while waiting for the rest to come out. You know nothing and will continue to be in the dark until he reveals more that is not a mystery.
A.K.A
You realized you got jack to say about its profound "mystery" and "plot"

So, you're telling me that you are so handicap that you can't watch it and judge it by yourself but instead you need someone to tell you their own opinions about the story in order to get your answer? Alright.

.Great Plot.
.Equality when it comes to every character.
.Depth and great development.
.Plot twists.
.Haven't seen a plot hole Yet.
.Political warfare.
.You dont get characters shove down your throat which I really appreciate.

"it throws something at you which your completely in the dark about until it reveals more info later."

Believe it or not, that's how mysteries work...

"A mystery is something we can all ponder and try to figure out (Not completely) but to some extent with what is provided
AOT gives you nothing to snack on and analyze as the story advances its not a mystery its called shock value."

Who is the female titan? Where due titans come from? What's in the Jaeger basement? What's up with the wall?

Those questions are something to ponder on. The point is to try and figure out what exactly is going on with the information given. The answers to the produced questions aren't random, they're in the story. Attack on Titan does exactly what you say it doesn't do.


I wasn't trying to say anything but honestly, all these claims of Attack on Titan being over-hyped and overrated is just critical speculation. People are simply being objective towards Attack on Titan because it's popular. When things become too popular they tend to be over-analyzed to the point where the criticism is pure spite.
Attack on Titan is great but people refuse to give credit where it's due. If Attack on Titan never received claims like "greatest anime ever!" "greatest character development!" "Amazing plot!" or "Best shonen out there!" then no one would look at it so partially.

if someone says Attack on Titan is the best anime ever and someone else thinks that One Piece is the best, then the One Piece fan is going to watch Attack on Titan purposely looking for flaws to compare it with One Piece. These "flaws" that were once unnoticed become exposed and blown out of proportion and people begin to come up with this idea that "Attack on Titan isn't so great".
That's why we should always say "in my opinion".
No when thing become hyped (whch is usually just a loud minority of people)There will always be others to rightfully point out why its just a over inflated hot air balloon that reached zepplin proportions.



It has nothign to do with people "attacking it because its popular.

Its popular so its getting reactions from all angle not just from people who follow it blindly.

I watched every episode and i am up to date on the chapters i enjoy watching it for what it is so i will defnitely point out when people try to put it on a pedal stool.




As Oddity said

One dimensional characters that have been seen in countless anime
QUESTIONS not "Mysteries" that are dropped in a linear fashion.

I seen once person list the "mysteries"

Can any of that info be traced together to form a better understanding of any other "mysteries" going on ?


Has anyone speculated what her fathers powers could be ?
How they pertain to whats in the basement ?

Is it a secret or is a tangible device that can help agianst the titans ?

How is the church involved.?

Why is the church never shown is because it is tightly woven into the central story and it will give away too much ?

These aren't mysteries they are loose threads.

Each one that was presented to US not figured out by US

Apart of the fun of a mystery is you can be apart of it

Anything that was ever revealed was through plot device by the writer.

They were all isolated info drops

Nothing is piecing together because shit is missing not because it is moving at a natural pace and we will figure it out ourselves but because the writer will once gain reveal something.


Tell me one theory that hints at what the story might be doing soon with any of the "MYSTERIES" so far revealed.

If you say i can't think of anything yet becasue there is no info then the mystery is weak and relies too heavily on its own plot moments to keep the momentum of the story alive .

I want to remind people that, if you give your dislike do so in a normal fashion and give some reasoning.

I like it a lot, mainly due to the mystery in which it is enshrouded. Next to that, it indeed has high end animations considered due to it being a very recent anime.

You just have to like the theme. I get why people dislike it. It isn't like a shonin jump where things are build up rather slow, i'll give you that as well.

The plot is entertaining not great its the just giants eating people as they scurry around trying not to get eaten its not exactly deep
There has been no plot twist the plot is the same there still going out on scouts and there still being eaten and nowhere close to figuring anything out.

Nobody development for characters as everyone is exactly the same as they started out...except for Armin and Jon
everyone still reacts the same to every situation

What political warfare ? lol

Its like saying a DragonBall z has political overtones due to there being a heirachy ofgods that govern the afterlife

That is how much political AOT is

You CONSTANTLY GET CHARACTERS SHOVED DOWN YOUR THROAT THEN THEY GO AND DIE TWO CHAPTERS LATER IN BLOODY FASHION

PROS:

The show has excellent animation
Scene arrangement for better cohesive anime adaption was a nice touch.
Armin and Jon are a plus on the character side as they show actual development.They are not who they were in the beginning and have gone on to become stronger since then in a multitude of ways.
The setting and artistic visual of the world itself is inviting and fresh

CONS:

Random story bits and questions introduced and promptly ignored
I have no idea of how big there settlement is,the inner workings the everyday people

The church is involved in shady shit yet were suppose to forget they exist

Erin is still a whiny brat

Mikasa is still a emotionless robot with skills that are there because plot

Yeah and that person is you.
Your doing what so many others do.
Aggrandizing a mediocre manga that relies on tropes older than time itself,confusing a mystery
with questions that seemingly fit nowhere its a cheesy tactic

Its called place holding questions that give peopel the time to say on look at that but in the end provides no subtance to go off of

In order to have a mystery they questions left unanswered must provide context to what is going on which is where theories and speculation begin.

But your too stupid to understand that which is why you think AOT is godly.

Get lost man... The political warfare was a BIG part in the manga. If you compare that to DBZ no one can convince you otherwise because you seem to live in your own world.

There were so many plot twists and yet you say that AoT has none.

Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Hannes, Jean, Historia, Reiner, Bertholdt and Ymir had enough development. Don't speak nonsense like "no character development except for Jean and Armin".

I'm done arguing with you already since you don't seem to know jack about AoT. You can write biased things all you want, I won't pay attention to them by directly replying to you because this won't get me anywhere.
