if this is a muv-luv ripoff then the coup plotline will last like two more years

They killed an enourmous titan, and now that plotline is wrapping up

I thought it was about the constant hope of getting to elf island, only to realize you should play idolmaster instead.

If you must blink, do it now.
The chapter they revealed turning into titans was a trick a bunch of people could do was the death knell of the series.

Good.

The last thing we need is an anime with a beta protagonist.

I remember people hyping up Attack on Titan as a series where anyone you care about could die at any moment, and that only turned out to be true if you cared about incredibly minor characters.

I think it's alright, though I do wish that when the anime started up the fanbase didn't hype it up as something it's not.

I haven't played 5 yet. DQ6 got boring once I got into class changes (even using fast forward) so I called it quits.

I watched it after all the hype had died down and heard practically nothing about it. One of my friends told me it was bad so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

That sounds like the best way to watch it.

I will watch the second season sometime, but I will wait for it to finish airing first. That way I can watch it in chunks and the recaps won't be as annoying.

In my experience when someone describes a series as dark and mature to me, it turns out to be neither.

Yeah, nothing against the characters in particular, just that with the way people were selling it I expected at least one big death :v:

Wouldn't be surprised if that was mostly to sell Eren's 'death', and it backfired by making people even more disappointed when they expected it to be something it wasn't.

Yeah that's entirely possible.

It kinda reminds me how for a time there were people that were being super loving coy about Madoka's premise.

This sort of thing happens on MAL all the time.

The One-Punch Man anime is ranked even higher. It airs this October.
