I can't imagine what would drive you fellows to read ahead then drop the manga...when you've already reached the most recent chapter. I dunno, it's just odd, if I hated something I'd drop it before reading all the way rather than go through with it.

First off, it's only about 20 chapters ahead of where we are right now in the anime. It's not a big effort to make it there in some spare time. Second... this isn't Naruto. Something I think has godawful writing but took several hundred chapters for me to make that realization, at which point it was just simply "in for a penny, in for a pound".
Not a spoiler but... figured I'd put it in here anyway Spoiler: show |

Going to disagree with that mind set. If it starts off poorly and you decide to drop it right away, sure. That's how it should be. But Attack on Titan started decently well enough. Then it picked up. Then it dropped a lot. Then it went into mindless mode. Then it went FULL BLOWN RETARDED. The author starts using cheap tactics to try and keep readers interested and possibly evoke emotion, but it really came off as stupid.

I'm actually curious as to how it's gotten "retarded".

Yeah, I'd like to know this too. 'Cause if we're still in the phase you'd call "pick up", then I think it's high time I make an exception to my usual anti-spoiler policy and just read what all the fuss is about. I keep saying I'll drop this show and then it keeps hanging on by the skin of its teeth. A ten kiloton bombshell of the negative variety would be the sort of thing that'd free me from my torment and allow me to drop this show in peace.

@ Kaisap
Naruto took roughly 200+ chapters to get as bad as Shingeki no Kyojin gets in 40ish chapters. There's a huge different. Also, Naruto was more of a fun series. So when it fell into stupid fun stuff, you didn't care as much, but Shingeki no Kyojin is full blown SERIOUS SHIT. It's got giants that eat people, an army that fails to drive them back, the population sacrificed to ensure there's enough food for everyone. Naruto was butt jokes, perverted guys, and happy times for quite a while. Sure it's mindless, but it was enjoyable in that sense. @DCD Not been watching the anime, but I will say roughly what points are way. Start off Spoiler: show Drop Spoiler: show Mindless Spoiler: show Full Blown Retarded Spoiler: show |

Apparently we're embarking into Mindless right now according to Loki. (Did not click on Full Blown Retarded.)

Oh well, perhaps I'll become a denizen of the Silver Spoon thread now. Good manga that is.

It just feels like the writers made one of the best and most interesting introductions to a series (the first 5 episodes were fantastic), got everybody believing that the show was gods golden shower, and then made some stupid shit because they're so disillusioned with the thought that 'OMG SnK IS TEH BEST AMINE EVUR' that they don't know any better.

I completely agree 100%. I actually had a little bit more leeway with it and (mostly) enjoyed it most of the way through the arc the show is currently entering.

Thru Episode 17. Speculation about the newest threat. I should disclaim something first though. Don't click if you want to avoid any manga spoilers. This one concerns one of the cadets.
Spoiler: show So given that info ... (Episode 17 theory partially informed by manga info) Spoiler: show While the series is perpetually treading on thin ice, I haven't seen anything new which would make me want to drop the show once and for all. In fact, my favorite character in the show -- Jean -- has gotten some great development these past two episodes. Man do I wish the show were more about him and less about Eren or Mikasa or these fugly giants.

Just watched Episode 18 myself. While I agree with the point about a belabored plot delivery, that's been Shingeki no Kyojin's problem since pretty much Day One.
Episode 18 was entertaining while it lasted but man did it feel like there should have been more before the cut to the ending credits. Oh well. Oh well. Two additional speculative comments on the female intelligent Titan plus a third comment that's tangentially related: Spoiler: show
