poo poo, son, i can think of multiple means of torture more gruesome and painful than just repeatedly de-tarsaling you, and I'm not even a cannibalistic abomination

This Jason is honestly kinda bush-league, come to think of it

What the gently caress is going on?

I think they looked at the final two episodes of Evangelion and went "okay, let's do this for our season finale, except with lots of physical torture too".

And because the writers for this show are poo poo-flinging monkeys at typewriters, it all sucks.

I know a guy who's 100% unironically into this show, and for the life of me i cannot figure out how or why.

I'm currently chalking it up to "secret torture fetish." And also keeping my distance from him from now on.

In a way I almost think this show is bold for having a super special shonen protagonist™ like Bleach but having him be a total bitch.

But on the other hand it's like come the gently caress on let's get to the fireworks factory and see these assholes unleash their bankais use their blood magic and do something you awful show.

The number one reason I like AoT is it has the Stock Shonen Protagonist, takes his attitude to its logical conclusion, then dumps him in a world that's populated by relatively reasonable people who look at him and go "this guy's a loving insane and incredibly dangerous psychopath", and treat him as such, alternating between making GBS threads on him and using him to further their own goals.

So, AoT satisfies my shonen deconstruction itch, which means what little this show has going for it offers me nothing.

I picked Fergus because I just knew he would be a more entertaining character. Also get The Old Blood because it's like a nice expansion pack

Yes, and also a character tries to get information from you by attempting to lobotomize you, while conscious, from a first person perspective
