[@ARC1300]

to be fair though, a lot of people do judge a book by it's cover, you can't tell me you've never looked at something that has looked shitty to you, and called it as such, and then proceeded to never look or think about it ever again. hell i took one look at the show called reboot and I think it looks like ass (still do actually ) but apparently it was revolutionary and gamebreaking to the cgi crowd who loved cgi shows, and actually did it right. point is, looks do matter, to a very degree, but luckily their will always be those who are able to look past that artificial barrier and discover something great.

[@momokat4082]

what 'real world problem' did the story cover?

[@killme2675]

Emperor Abdi Maybe if you read the manga or watched the anime, you’d know.

[@killme2675]

Emperor Abdi Political chess, racial discrimination etc

He says he isnt academic and then proceeds to write about politics, corruption and a bunch of other complex plot lines

[@zerochan00000]

He can always search it up on the web tho

[@Kaito-Ipn]

It depends, when you’re at school it’s a must to learn things even if you don’t like them or are good at but Hajime enjoys writing and drawing so having to comprehend “politics” in the way to adapt it to his manga, must be fun to learn that way :)

[@ghostie7790]

RIGHT?

[@OMGYasuke]

You do realize a lot of writers do a shit ton of research for the story they're going to write? So maybe Isayama just read a shit ton of books about politics lol.

[@UncleVim]

AoT isn't just a good anime or manga. Its one of the BEST stories ever created/told. Isayama is a genius and everyone should give the show a try. It has a 100% conversion rate of anti-anime people to weeb.

[@katerosevonkreutzer3523]

[@Cryabtit829]

@Quadir Lovell most anime is absolute trash and the anime community refuses to acknowledge that the writing is terrible generally for almost all anime. AoT is a giant gasp of fresh air for us. And in terms of general writing quality for different stories, the plot is the best I have ever seen for a series, period.

[@Cryabtit829]

@Quadir Lovell Vinland saga is pretty good.

I had an classmate back in University who hated anime (Even wrote a critism paper in back in his high school about anime) He loved Attack on Titan and it changed his views Same with my family, my parents ended up rewatching it several times and my Aunt is constantly keeping up to date with it.

What I learnt from AOT : 1. Perspective from different points of view. 2. Seeking common ground instead of hating and fighting. 3. Dangers of indoctrination and ignorance. 4. A government hellbent on concealing the truth may cause its citizens to suffer. 5. How trauma and suffering can make or break a person. 6. How circumstances can force even good natured people to do evil. 7. Military discipline. 8. Character development. 9. The tedious animation which results in such a gorgeous anime. 10. How to fall in love with a great story.
