SNK is a terrible anime

[Yusuke Urameshi]

I'd have to say that its fan base is definitely the worst part. Everyone saying it's a masterpiece. It's a good anime, no doubt, but there are much, much better anime to be seen. For example, Blood Lad. Personally, I think it was the best show last season. It's short, the characters are very likeable, there's action, comedy, a little fan service, and DBZ references everywhere. Definitely better than AoT imo.

1. There's no way in hell you predicted Eren would become a Titan. You're just sucking yourself right now.

2. Almost every Shonen has a character with some kind of tragic past, doing something they looked up to as they got older, had other characters for support, trained to get better, and have fodder, generic villains in the beginning and then they get more complex at time goes on. I assume you haven't caught up to SNK, and SNK is just starting, you have no right to really say it's a terrible anime, we haven't scratched the surface yet.

3. And One Piece. Anyway, the point is, there's you who says it sucks and there's so many of us who think it's good. Put 2 and 2 together

@#2. AoT is gonna be 20 volumes in all (11 have been written already). I could see a second season, possibly even a third, but I wouldn't say it's just getting started or we haven't scratched the surface yet.

It's not clever at all, entertaining to some because of the action yes. And it's not amazing either. Sheer opinion and no FACTS. Here's some facts.

It's generic, the writing is lazy and sloppy and the action, personalities etc have all been done before.

If you think it is better than most, you haven't seen most.[/QUOTE
^^^ sounds like opinions to me.

Here's the facts I found:

Its popular, the writing is good and what music note have you not heard before?

 

[Murasame]

Yes, I and many others predicted it. You hate something/have a connection to it in a shounen, you become just that, it's a cycle. Ichigo can see souls, becomes a god of death. One of the most prominent examples.

That's why shounen are so mediocre, especially this one. Tragic Pasts mean the character is messed up emotionally on the inside. You cannot have a stabilized character that way, I don't know how this is not seen by an entire Studio of writers.

Fodder Generic Villains? Lol, if someone gets killed in SNK that happens to be a villain they will never be seen again! ROFLMFAO! If a titan in the future is killed, can you say that they are signifigant enough for more mentions in further arcs?

I say it sucks with reason, you say such with bias statements because of personal beliefs. And a fandom does not make anything good. If killing had a fandom, would it be good? ROFL!

Where did these you and these "others" predict this? I want to see this for myself. I honestly thought Eren was most likely dead and that mikasa was going to take the role of main character. I'm sure you wouldn't have said this before the reveal.

You might dislike that but I seriously don't have a problem with it. The main character needs something that motivates them to reach a certain goal whether it be a tragic past or whatever. Not only that but it establishes a connection between you and that character.

Well I'm not so sure about this fodder generic villain thing since Rikerslade is the one that said it but I will say that it depends on which titans they are.. take the one that killed Eren's mom. If they do kill it, it might receive some mention or flashback.

I don't see much bias in his post but if you say that his post has bias might as well say yours has it too since you're being arrogant and laughing at his post.. acting like what you say is right that its fact when your post is an opinion as well.

 

[SonictheHedgehog]

Yes, yes it is.

 

[Punk Hazard]

@#2. AoT is gonna be 20 volumes in all (11 have been written already). I could see a second season, possibly even a third, but I wouldn't say it's just getting started or we haven't scratched the surface yet.

Actually yes, we have just scratched the surface. We still don't know who the Titans are working for, why they're inside that particular thing, who that particular smart Titan is, is there more like him, where did the Titans come from and some more. We still have a lot to cover.

 

[Hexuze]

LMFAOOO

For a second I thought the thread was titled, "SRK is a terrible anime." and I was like when did Shahrukh Khan had his own anime. XD Sorry being a bit off-topic but I had to say it


OT: Haven't watched it yet.

 

[China IL]

LMAO, biggest troll thread I've seen on NB. You deserve an award or something, I'ma have to rep you.

OT: are you serious :|:|:leaf:

 

[Kinimaster]

What??! this is what i get for lurking in a forum full of kids... SNK is probably the best ongoing anime nowadays.

 

[chopstickchakra]

I agree it's way overhyped. plenty of better written manga/anime and plenty more that had better violence, and plenty more with better comedy. It's an alright anime, the animation of the Titans is god awful though, they look so bad. The movement cables are pretty cool, I just hate that a lot of "futuristic" dystopia setting stories revert back to the middle ages as far as weaponry. You're telling me they can make 3d movement devices but still use cruddy cannons and muzzle loaded rifles? Not buying it.

 

[Akira678]

You're just jelly cuz Snk > Nardo

We all have Opinions , and most people say it's a great anime, and It is ._.

 

[KGB Kakuzu]

It's cliche, it rips off of several series

Plotlines are forced into far too fast: Story began and "took off" the first episode. This is the main problem with the anime of today, especially shounen. Nearly no explanations for anything, just "WHOA EPIC SHIFTS" and "EPIC BATTLES" to keep the casual watcher entertained enough to fanboy. Nothing is necessarily "clear", random plot-twists out of nowhere and with the atmosphere it gives off, generic villains.


Very cliche main character, terrible supports: Main characters personality is an average joe, supports are nothing more. No one was a unique personality in even the slightest. It's like you are watching/reading a series called Bland, amirite? Not even eren's random temper gives him a personality. And you can't change a character that hasn't been even remotely developed yet, as the SNK "writers" think so. Eren's power up was the most cliche, predictable thing I have ever witnessed.

Predictable story: Comes off as a typical shounen. Eren's mom was killed by a titan, he wants to kill titans, joins military force he looked up to, deuteragonist follows along with him and so does the supporting character, emotions are had, training begins, emotions emotions, more characters are met, etc. No redeeming qualities about the story. It's not unique, it's not interesting, it has all been done before.


Terrible fanbase: Probably the worst thing about this series. The Fanbase is full of wankers who think it is a masterpiece and the best anime ever made, and that it is so deep and strong, they are absolutely delusional and do not actually evaluate the series. Anyone who doesn't like it doesn't know what "true anime" is in their eyes, as I have heard by such wankers of the series before.

Usually it's just got into by new-comers to anime, or those who have only seen generic Shounen like Bleach, Naruto, Death Note, etc. It's NOT good.

1. I fail to see why you need to criticize another anime when beginning to insult another. Additionally if you claim it is one that borrows from other anime, provide examples. I fail too witness many manga that deal with humans fighting gigantic beings in mediaeval Europe. Additionally using a rigged propulsion system. Most likely, you refer to what you see as cliche moments.

Progression, if you look at it from the themes the story projects, it isn't fast paces... It's well paced in some aspects. Firstly, some themes of the series is to represent desperation, hopelessness, and an overwhelming adversary. So we start with an invasion: hopelessness. Depicting the desth of his mother while helpless, and later seeing humanity tear at itself and sacrifice itself with sending 20% of the population on a death war. Seeing humans attempt to sell one another off.

We then move to desperation. The theme is conveyed through some of its pacing. We see the recruits who should be training more get sent to hell that they aren't ready for. This results in an initial quick "death" for Eren. I'd find it hard to truly predict who he'd be eaten so easily. It's also 50/50 to predict of he was even to become the main. For all we knew at the start is that we had Armin who was learning to use his brain and Mikasa who had extreme combat skill. If anything, Eren easily could have been used as a fall msn to give them drive. Balancing their abilities. Anyhow, immediately after Trost, we see the desperation for closing the wall. With the risk of losing another wall, they quickly need to plug up the breach. They then plan to retake Maria because mankind is desperate for land; however, it becomes apparent that there is someone aiming for humanity's fall, and they make a plan to catch this person. Leading to more desperate and immediate action. I could go on, but I don't intend to recap the entire story.

The pacing is done simply to reflect the idea that mankind doesn't HAVE time to just sit and plan. Also, it's pacing is about as fast as Yu-Yu Hakusho (hardly a mainstream anime), and hell it lasted longer than Cowboy Bebop. Just try saying one of them are a joke. Can't see pacing as a flaw.

Overwhelming adversity should stand for itself. Titans wreck shit and people. I actually can't think of another series that consistently kills off people like AoT. Especially named characters and even notably relevant ones: Rose Wall Vanguard, Levi Squad, and even more people who I'll keep from spoiling the manga.

2. If you desire to make claims, give examples. You only really made any effort on the main characters... And really even then only on what I saw was two of them. If you claim the sides are nothing... Prove it. If your argument is they are weak... It's only in an effort to drive hone hopelessness/weakness. Even then, they actually take actions. Especially with where the anime just left off. Next arc is crazy in retrospect to the story.

There are only so many stories manga can make. I mean honestly you can compare personalities in any two Shounen and find relative attitudes.

Hanji : Mayuri Kurotsuchi : Dead Man Wonderland Scientist- insane scientists

Levi : Byakuya : Neji : Heie : Jet- tough personalities that do have soft spots... Never/rarely show th em.

I'll stop there. While the personalities may stay relatively similar, who has what, and their individual quirks differ for every series.

Most predictable power up is that?! Shit watch Fairy Tail. I love the series, but seriously they solo in that department.

3. Predictable... If you called some things good for you. I highly doubt you predicted every event. You called wall titans?! Who every single Shifter was?! Everyone's specific pasts. I doubt this.

You call emotions a fault?! Shit some anime LACK EMOTIONS, or the interacting emotions between people that we need. Go watch the scene where they put the boulder on the Trost breach. Everyone other than Mikasa, Eren, Armin, and one other had to literally die KNOWING they won. They had to be brutally eaten alive watching... KNOWING humanity made a step in the first time in history, and they won't enjoy it.

^^^ Not every series has stuff like that.

Irwin Smith: ADVANCE

^^^ That scene last chapter... Feels are one of the best things in this series. Some people can reel "stereotypical" or even clingy, but the feels people have for one another, and their struggle together is more than power ups and who's badass.

4. Fanbase has nothing to do with a series except show how many people like or dislike it. Not only do you go and insult SAO (completely irrelevant), but now you insult people and fellow members over something you have no obligation to follow. I find it a weak argument, and worse its disrespectful to other human beings.

Is AoT for everyone: hell no. My brother hates it with a passion. Why: he doesn't like humans fighting big titans. That's not his jam. Is this the right series for you?! That's your decision; however, keep hour opinion to yourself, or those who think similarly. There's no point making bash threads like this as it only comes with insulting members of the base, and leading to unnecessary conflict.

See you around the base. Thanks for reading whatever you read.

You think that because you haven't seen much. And lol@kids, the average age-range for this forum is 17-25, ROFL! What a failure.

I agree it's way overhyped. plenty of better written manga/anime and plenty more that had better violence, and plenty more with better comedy.

Right? It is terrible writing at it's finest.

Go back to MvC. You clearly don't know quality.

Have you seen like 2 anime? It's not even quality compared to the majority of shit we have now.

1. By rip off, I didn't exactly of mean, that it actually ripped the idea. I mean that it has all been done before and far better. Large Monsters as the villains for Manga has been done countless times. Brainless creatures of destruction has too. The characters and "dark" environment are all ripped from better series, nuff said.

2. Everything you mentioned literally screams "generic", there. Under-written. You're not supposed to feel or build up emotions so early on, especially to use such things a plot device for the characters drive, quota his mom dying to a titan. In fact, it's not even senseless build-up like naruto, it's just beyond unnecessary and terrible writing.

3. As for desperation as you stated, that does not count in even the slightest. You aren't supposed to feel for characters that have had little to no development. How could eren have NOT been the MC, and even so this is purely irrelevant to any type of argument you can have backing the series whatsoever! It's literally centered in his POV, how more obvious can it of get? And you're just doing as you said, recapping. Nothing you stated backs it's mediocrcy. It's not deep, development and it doesn't make it good, it's just the story progressing as that is what stories do. Nothing about what you mentions gives off tension or any type of backlash to the watcher/reader.

3. LOL. Comparing it to Cowboy Bepop, please don't even. Cowboy Bepop is one of the best anime of all time. The Pacing doesn't have to do with the plot, just how the story flows, and if it the writing was structured, it would be far better. "Man Kind cant sit and wait" is an excuse. Doesn't change a loss so early on and desperate how fast the story goes. There was a ****ing timeskip for gods sake. It is not paced at ALL.

4. Consistently kills of people like AOT? Ok, here's an example: Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, one of the finest anime ever invented, people are killed left and right and the tension builds and resets for it to start over again. AOT has failed to do this, then again there is nearly no anime that will reach the level of the original higurashi.

5. You haven't done so either, ROFLMFAO! I of proved that you are a phony, who contradicts himself 24/7, amirite, LOL!

6. Yes, you can. That is why shounen are mediocre.

7. This is not a comparison, and the only arc in fairy tail I have picked up was the tourney arc (yes, I understood what went on) and it was shit, LOL! I never stated I predicted of, several events, no, yes? I said that the majority is predictable by those with basic knowledge of how shounen work. Predicting eren would become a Titan/Human mix/Titan Shifter was very predictable. Predicting he would "die", wouldn't. However if you fail to believe anyone knew he wasn't dead, you are beyond incapable of comprehending anything!

8. No anime of the quality tier lack emotions. Some, like SNK try to force emotions upon characters and the viewer, but due to bad writing easily fail at it. Feeling for a character so early on is impossible, especially with the forced emotions they have been put upon and the forced story that slaughters any type of "personality".

Please avoid further humiliation. Your defeat has already been marked thus replying, nuff said, /endof.

Yes, he is dumbass. Why would someone have to be trolling to dislike an anime series?

Yea I definitly think this is straight up trolling.

1. I didn't realize this was a competition. Forums are places of free flow discussion... Not really competition so I can't help, but feel nothing.

Anyways, I don't exactly understand how your claim for they are ripping off a theme. Just because big people are bad guys?! Code Geass, Neon Evangelone, Gundam Anything, Gurren Lagann, etc. To claim they simply rip off of another series because big things are antagonists.

If so, then how is any series in which a human is a villain a rip off: How is Obito, Madara, Kakuzu, Kisame, Aizen, Blackbeard, Charles, The System do to speak in Angel Beats, or anyone else of human form not a rip off of Shishio from Ruroni Kenshin?!

It is a fallacy to simply claim size is an arguable means to rip off. Same with state of mind, but I'll leave it at that.

If you declare Shounen as all being shit... Then why is this thread even needed. Why focus on one when you can collectively dump them together?!

2. How is it generic. Generic is something common or typical. It's unoriginal. If one isn't supposed to build up early on, then you are proclaiming it is not generic to do so, and thus are indirectly stating originality. Once again, you've insulted another manga while trying to put down AoT. It is trivial to the purpose of the thread. The desth of Eren's mom is an initial driving force and focal image of Eren's rage. Not too different from Spike's Julia and lost past, Sasuke's family being murdered, or Franky losing Shipwright Tom.

The death is a drive, and thus it instantly has purpose: AKA- not unnecessary. Additionally, Eren is driven to see the outside world. There's more than killing Titans.

The entirety of your point fixates upon your opinion of when emotional development should be built. Because you do not believe it should immediately happen, you declare it a generic series.

3. How is Mankind's predicament an excuse?! The armored, colossal, and female type titans could appear at any time to break down the walls. This meant several things.

A) Walls need to be immediately repaired.

B) Operations must be conducted to find and eliminate the greatest threats to humanity.

How does pacing not follow plot?! How can a plot advance without a pace wether it be fast or slow?! As far as a series goes, I'd agree. Cowboy Bebop was amazing. I actually only compared episode length. Considering Bebop had about one year of run time, it had a fast paced story to it. So to judge a series based on speed is impossible.. because one of the greatest did it in a year.

Time skip?! The first two chapters served as expositions that would lay the foundations for the entirety of the series. A Time Skip would be if somewhere around now we have a time skip.

4. See, an example. This is all I asked for. Now my question is this: because a series tries to create a chaotic theme with death looming overhead, you decide it is a poor rip off because it didn't come first?! That's ludicrous. Virtually any story that has any REMOTELY paralleling themes or even a specific event instantly becomes trash under such a premise.

AoT does have periods of build and rest. You have the intro invasion... Then we move to Eren and Co having become soldiers finally, but guess what?! History repeats. After the battle of Trost, we have a calm period in which we prepare to plug the wall. Once the wall is plugged, we have a calm period of a trial which even manages to build some suspense. Then you have the time with Squad Levi which is calm. Then we have the Female Titan. We have a little break, and then we defeat the titan. Then we have a break, and then the Titans somehow get in. Then we have a break after the climax with mostly talking... Then we fear up again.

AoT has up and down flow, is it as long as others?! Not at all for some... Yes for others; however, as I said, it helps move the plot theme of desperation.

5. What do your refer to?! How do I discuss a point that isn't labeled?! If you refer to insulting a series... I have not done so. While I mentioned one instance in Fairy Tail, I additionally complimented the series.

I'm nit sure how I can be fake when offering a sequence of opinions based on analytical observations I've concluded.

6. I mentioned it at the end of point 1... Why single out AoT when labeling a series genre as mediocre... Hey not just make it bash central?!

7. What specifically is not a comparison?! Moving on, you stated it was very predictable based on Shounen work... It implies you were predicting events. I simply made a hyperbole of a sequence of events to bring the point as follows: no one can predict everything.

Did I fail to believe anyone knew he was dead... No I did not, I was one who figured he would find a means to survive. The whole premise of my statement was to establish that nothing is certain in this world. The author could easily have started making Eren appear to be the main character, and pulled a twist by killing him. Did he do so?! Obviously not. It was simply a means to an end: and example to bring about a point.

Considering I was able to get on the internet, move to a specific site, read the basis of your opinion, take those words in, think on them, formulate a response, make the response, and establish the response... I believe I'm more than capable of basic human comprehension. Especially seeing as how people who do have basic human comprehension can have problems even using technology. It simply revolves around experience with such tools.

Why you felt obligated to directly insult my intellect is a mystery to me considering how this whole thread boils down to one simple word.

8. Of course no series of quality lacks emotion, but then what defines quality. Who puts the parameters and restrictions on "quality". What puts the critical figures on whether a series contributes emotion, or fails as it forces emotion.


One simple word: opinion. I mentioned it last time, so I'll say it again.


Attack on Titan, just like everything else in this world, revolves around human opinion. You are of the opinion that it is of poor quality. I on the other hand, believe it has good quality. It isn't the best series, but it is easily far from a bad one in my eyes.

There will never be a victor or a loser in this thread. It is not but opinion formed from the individual. Nothing more, nothing less. If you feel victorious, your are indudibaly entitled to hold such an opinion.

I will simply say I've made my consensus on why SNK is a good and entertaining anime, and bid you adue. I humbly respect your opinion, and enjoy your say/night ^.^

I agree.

Also, just because someone liked SNK doesn't mean he/she watched only mainstream anime and doesn't know what else is out there. I watched plenty of anime and will continue to watch many more. I liked Cowboy Bebop but I think it's terribly overrated and has many faults in it but that is my personal opinion which others may disagree with and I accept that.

Hey! Brat! Do you know that you're beyond pathetic?
You wasted your time making a thread about your hated anime series, seriously ?
I know you get pissed when people like the series you hate but making this thread won't change anything even if you keep making it like 100 times.
I'm pretty sure you don't have power to change other people's opinions both on internet and in real life.
So just get over it !!!

Its an alright series, not bad, not so good, just in between. i can name mulitple animes/manga which i like way better the SNK, but in the end it all boils down to opinions what people generally prefer and what they don't, apparently I didn't like the art style of the manga, it was drawn very poorly, I read the manga first, watched a few episodes (yeah they were animated well) but dropped them.

But in anyway I wouldn't bash the series since I'm more interested in series which contain vivid actions and powers, from my point of view AOT never providided that. There are other animes which aren't power related like HOTD, deaht note etc which i did like, but AOT didnt provide me with expericance that i was looking for or interested in, yes! some parts and the plot had its amazing momnets, which i wouldnt disagree on but generally, it's wasn't my type of show. but then again Claymore> AOT

Deal with it Lel.

You must be registered for see images

But yeah, like I said it's mainly opinion based when it comes to people, just so u say, some people might like dbz, while other might think it's shit and childish, same could be said for one piece. And many other shounen mangas out there..

Usually shows/games or w/e which become overrated get equivelent amount of hate as well

Call of duty for instance..

Claymore> AOT

That's like saying Fairy Tail > AOT
