REVIEW: Attack on Titan episodes 1-6

Once again dtm42 is SUPER MAD that a show isn't doing things in precisely the manner he approves of.

Lazy defenders who were drunk on the job and didn't see the giant titan approach makes far more sense than the giant titan being zapped into existence right next to (but not inside) the wall.

That makes a lot less sense, honestly. They made it very, very clear that the Titan materialized out of nowhere. It is reasonable to expect this to get explained eventually and absurd to require an explanation immediately, especially when the show made it very clear that the humans know very little about the titans.

It's much, much harder to believe that titan that huge could come there by foot with NO ONE seeing it. Their lookouts were supposed to be keeping an eye out for much smaller ones, ones that could blend in with the trees and might be able to get fairly close to the wall without being seen. But that huge Titan was as tall as the wall, and vastly higher than ANYTHING around it so it would have been seen from dozens of miles away.

Hey, let's just be thankful this show doesn't feature zero gravity combined with miniskirts.

One of the most amusing things about Attack on Titan discussions are people pointing out "plotholes" that are actually explored later on in the series. Whether or not you like the explanations is another matter entirely, but the assumption that the series won't go into any of these things at all is ridiculous.

Well that's a load of bull. By your logic we should close down the series discussion thread to everyone who hasn't already read the Manga.

Okay, takes itself completely seriously except for one character. Even with her the scale is still weighted towards grimdark.

T_____T;

See, when you take a logical approach to a show that's shrouded in mystery, supernatural phenomena, and just straight up made up fantasy, it's easy to get carried away by trying to get to the bottom of every single detail.

I wonder how people like this can ever hope to enjoy mystery shows without constantly asking who the killer was starting from the first few minutes and complaining that the show blows because they left out that critical detail.

Can't tell if you're directing that partially at me or not.

While this is true, all the spoilers I've read feel to me like explaining minor inconsistencies with something that's even harder to believe. I think the TV Tropes term is "Voodoo Shark."

It most certainly was not made clear that it materialised out of nowhere. It popped its head above the parapets and that was the first the defenders knew about it, but it was not made clear at all that it was summoned out of thin air. What's more likely; drunk defenders who have gotten soft after a century of peace not keeping a proper lookout, or teleportation?

Hi guys. There's this story about Titans and the author explicitly states that humans know little to nothing at all about Titans in almost every chapter.

I think there are already more MAD parodies of this than Cruel Angel's Thesis. It goes with *everything*.

It
literally
goes
with
everything.
