Whats an MPB?
I believe you, I truly do. But the manga was going nowhere for a good bunch of months. On the bigger scale of things maybe that wouldn't really matter. Let's say the series got 6 chapters of politics. Doesn't seem like a lot, but then there is the fact that it released monthly. That's 6 months of just that, without much action. When you put it in that light, I think it's easy to assess why folks such as myself bailed the fuck out. There was no indication of this political arc going anywhere and it was just too long.
I dropped the manga like, a year or even more ago? And I remember you saying recently they just reached the basement. Take that in lol.
No, I agree, it was fucking boring. A lot of it wasn't even like, interesting politics, it felt like delay tactics to not move the story forward too quickly. The author just isn't as good at writing drama or thriller elements as he is in writing action and surprises. But unfortunately he also structured the story such that all the political stuff turns out to be really important thematically, and are essential information to allow the audience to fully comprehend what the story is trying to do when it does reveal everything in the damn basement.
Lol. I'm just saying there's really no way they can cut it out in an adaptation unless they don't plan on adapting the entire manga.
!!!!Yeah, AoT is much better when you can just binge read a whole bunch of chapters at once. I've dropped it during those politics parts as well and only recently caught up. I binged 20-something chapters at once and it was pretty good throughout - then you stop and realize that that was 2 years worth of content and... yeah I can see how reading it monthly would be frustrating.
Oh and to comment on the AoT PV, yeah looks lit. HOWEVER... They showed everything up to the point where I dropped the manga because of how boring it got. So either they go 1-cour, put this stuff out and call it a day, or it will be a 2-cour in which the first few episodes are basically what was shown on the PV and the rest is just boring politics all the way through until I don't know where (did not have the will to keep going).
Who knows, maybe the weekly format will actually help it's case. It was tough to be excited for the AoT manga when it only came out monthly, and all you got was politics and dialogue. On a weekly basis and animated maybe it wouldn't be so bad?

Not really, if done well. In AoTs case it was plain awful and kept going, and going, and going... Eventually, if you made a product that has this crazy cool concept for non-stop action with a tinge of horror and grotesque in there, and all you get is (according to the post prior to this) 2 years of characters just blabbering... Well fuck lol.Politics and dialogue. The worst enemies of a fiction story!
How many anime would be made better by: "And then politics happened..." instead of actual anime politics?

"And then space battles happened."Thats the best part of LoGH. The space battles kinda suck
It's like, self sabotage. They should have named those 2 years Attack on Attack on Titan.My favorite part of the Coup arc is how you dont see a Titan for like, two years

The whole mutual recognition reminded me so much of shared recognition and real-booting from Chaos;Head. In general, I felt a lot of concepts, twists, themes, and general atmosphere were lifted from C;H, which would probably explain why I enjoyed this a lot. Hopefully Chaos;Child can capture the same feeling, even with only 12 episodes from a much longer source.
Fuck you.

Okay my news year resolution is to get back into anime.
Recommend me the best shows from the past three years.
Thank you.

This is another example of the series being clearly aimed at a younger audience. It's like they were afraid
