People (anime nerds) have talked about how Attack on Titan is the best thing since tummy rubs and sliced bread had a baby born without original sin.
So, I bought the series and started watching.
The constant screaming, the act without thought, the baked-in extreme-right politics, the centuries-long secrets, and the poor address of mental health, all this leads me to believe this anime is trying to manufacture consent. For what? I can guess but would have little confidence in specifics.
It became unbearable to watch halfway through Season 2. I'll continue just to make sure but many guesses have been made.
I've also borrowed some manga from a friend and I'm kind of reading each episode after watching the show just to see if things are different.
It's not.
