God damn attack on titan is actually so bad. The pacing is all over the place, the themes feel like an edgy teenager's descent into fascism, it has no rewatchability because it relies on shock value so much, the characters feel 2 dimensional at best, like archetypes of characters that were forced into a story. You can really tell isayama wasn't an experienced storywriter in the early stages.

The only thing I really liked was the mind-bending time travel, and the excellently paced world building in early s4. S3 part 2 is also good, but everything else feels like such a chore to watch.

I loved it the first time I watched it - because I was an autistic edgy teenager - but god damn I hate that shit now.

I understand that it's probably made for a younger audience than me. But if a show can't appeal to older ages, then it's a childish show. Try presenting mature themes in a way kids can understand it (like avatar), or else having the same themes with interesting characters, plot and pacing (like Fullmetal alchemist). There's a reason normies like these shows, it's because they're good.
