[Discussion] Why should I watch AoT?

[Sakina]

I am the only person in my family who is not hooked to it. Even though, it all started with me.

Yes, I am talking about Attack on Titan~
I came to notice that there was a new anime coming, last year. I showed my little brother and sister. They both loved the trailers and kept asking me to keep track of the anime itself.

So when the day arrived that the anime was released, we watched it together. It was kind of loud at home due to random visitors. So I lend my earphones to both of my younger siblings. They shared and I watched it with them without sound, that bored me and lead me to often miss parts due to going/sneaking away.
Days went by and when each episode released I lend them my earphones, I didn't care. I had this kind of feeling saying; "I already missed a whole episode, so whatever"

This right now is not really a problem, but when things got really interesting (Titans killing humans etc) but on the other hand boring as well. I could not effort myself to watch it over (in order to understand the plot correctly) even though I read the subs, when they had my earphones on, from time to time. :c

I really don't know if I should give it a shot (again).

Both of my siblings now watch separately. My younger brother just watches it now but, too all my surprises, my younger sis even started reading manga a couple of months ago. Like .... Why?

She says it's addictive and "so cool".

Now.. What should I do? O_O Give me three GOOD reasons why I should watch/read Attack on Titan.
And don't be like my little sis because "so cool" won't make me watch it~

edit: I hope you guys understand what i mean. ;(

Neither do I, but this question was intentionally meant for the AoT fans.

Do you really need reasons to watch something? You're obviously interested in it, just watch it for yourself.

I do need them. Believe me I am such a big anime fan, I almost watch anything. But if this anime is less then I expect, then why waste time? I just need it to know from this side of view. My siblings are young, they love everything I let them watch, so I can't waste time by only having their young opinions~

Well it's just about humans trying to keep themselves from being annihilated. But there's also a lot of conspiricies going on and mystery around the titans. It's really about loss, survival, and freedom.

But like I said if you watch so many anime you should know by watching it if you'll like it or not. I have a 3 episode rule to judge an anime, try that.

 

[Grimreaper8019]

You shouldn't watch it. It's bad.

If you're such a big anime fan you should have seen the whole series already, You don't need GOOD reasons to watch such a master piece, Or you want to spoil yourself? Is that it? If it's good or not is up to you to figure, Go watch it already or don't watch anything V.V

 

[Peace Maker]

BullSh*t theres no way that you wont watch it.

 

[SharinganisOP]

Just watch the first couple episodes, if you don't like it then stop. Watching two episodes won't take you more than an hour. But if you want 3 reasons why I think it is good here ya go.

1. Good plot
2. Powerful enemies and strong leads who are mysterious and you want to learn more about (Makes the reader/watcher think), and mysteriousness develops the characters nicely imo.
3. Plenty of action

I never read ur whole thread, I'm to lazy to read, but I'm not lazy to type. P3IN's weird policy.

The plot consists of humans being forced into walls after titans, a superior species similar to humans invade human life, disregarding all species the ones that are targeted by the titans are usually humans, or should I say just humans, which are killed without intent by the titans, just a short summery on the series.

Not gonna get into depth on the matter, but if your interested in the concept of survival, with action paced scenes and moments which Involve intense gore and blood, mysterious plot, then go ahead and take a look, personally tho, I've found other animes and mangas better then AOT and doesn't even slightly compare to my favourites, which is obviously, my opinion. But honestly, give it a try, I do recommend.

With "big anime fan" I mean different types of anime, but AoT is a new. I like action and horror (kind of). But yeah, not too deep though, I mean it really has to have a damn good plot!

Thanks everyone, I guess I will try it over. :3

 

[take it easy]

become boring after ten episodes

 

[phantomlord22]

AOT is just awesome

it's the only anime that I've watched beside Naruto and DeathNote!
believe it or not, AOT is damn awesome

 

[Olorin]

The story is meh but the animation is good soooo ...

 

[Jobrjo]

3 reasons you ask?

-Good story
-Good music
-Good animation

It's one of the best anime out there, with an exceptional manga as well.

 

[2Lazy2Post]

1) If you have watched the Deathnote Anime and liked it then give Attack on Titan a try because they both have the same director.
2) While there is a good deal of violence and action there is also a lot of discussion of topics involving the human condition if that is something that interests you.
3) The story is full of twists and surprises (especially if you decide to read the manga because it goes further than the anime).

Overall I really just like the story and most of the characters. If you dont like it I'm not gonna be that person who calls you an idiot and questions your intelligence. If you don't like it then thats your own opinion but the AoT anime's popularity is huge and I think it would be a shame not to at least give it a try.
