Who has watched 'Attack on TItan'?

@ViciDraco Is the manga better then the series? I have 1 to 25 lieing around here, but haven't started it yet. Apperently they are up to 34 by now.

@Kwek00 the manga has just recently finished. Overall, I would say the show is pretty faithful. One of the benefits of being willing to take breaks between seasons is that it was able to not get ahead of the source material or interject a bunch of filler.

@ViciDraco im watching it on Hulu. My son and his buddies say the the anime is very close to the manga.

@ViciDraco I've only seen through the first half of the 2nd season.
I liked the animation, but I think the story could have been better.
I bought the collosal editions, and they are only collected up to issue 25 in 5 volumes. Volume 6 will be for october. So I'll read it when I feel like it. It's not like Berserk that I just devour when a new deluxe comes out. Right now, the only new thing I'm looking out for is One Punch Man and Vinland Sage.

@meat18 what aspects of attack on Titan do you like? I tend to watch a lot of different anime, so I can't just assume you liked the aspects I did.

@ViciDraco this is the first anime that ive watched. so, im very new to it. Love the detail. have also enjoyed how they have explored many of the characters backgrounds.

@meat18 Berserk, the 1997 anime is a good one if you like the dark, brutal tone. Not sure where to find it. Netflix also has Berserk: the golden age arc, which is a trilogy of movies that cover the same portion of the story that the 1997 anime covers.

My Hero Academia is a really popular one right now. It is not quite as dark, but still has it's moments. About a world where most people have a superpower of some kind.

Demon Slayer is a really good one. A roughly teenage kid joins a group of demon slayers after a man-eating demon kills his family.

Angels of Death is a short psychological series that could be hit or miss for you.

@ViciDraco wonderful! thanks for the suggestions.

@meat18
Monster (2004-2010), for a psychological thriller
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009-2010), for fantasy-steam punk
Cowboy Bebop (1998), for a science fiction detective
Steins Gate (2011), for a science fiction thriller
Baccano (2007), for a fantasy crime drama
Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995 - 1996), for science fiction
Vinland Sage (2019), historical drama
One Punchman (2015), parody

... are all really good to watch. I concurr on the Berserk (1997) storyline too. And the 3 movies are worth watching afterwards, since the 3th movie actually provides an ending.

And if you like movies, you have:

Akira (1988)
Princess Mononoke (1997)
Ghost in the Shell (1995)
Paprika (2005)

@Kwek00 Woohoo! thank you so much!!

@meat18 If you like movies, the guy that made Princess Monoke, well... if you like that movie, you'll probably like most of the stuff he did. He's "the man" when it comes anime movies. Things like: Spirited Away, Howls' Moving Castle, My Neighbour Totoro, Nausicaa valley of the wind, ... etc. .

If you can get your hands on "Grave of the Fireflies", it's also a classic. But I've not seen it yet. If you want B-movie stuff (like ridiculous scripts, blood, boobs and violence) you can look towards: Ninja Scroll, Wicked City, Demon City Sinjuku, Vampire Hunter D, Cyber City Oedo 808, Urotsukidoji, A Wind Named Amnesia, ... . And there is always "Fist of the North Star", the series and the movie from the 1980s.

There is so much out there. And if you want plain childish fun, watch "Dragonball". I'm not the biggest fan of the Z, GT, ... and all the other stuff they made after that. But childish fun, then Dragonball is great.

@meat18 as @Kwek00 says, there is so much out there. Anime is a format and while there are many cultural Asian tropes within it, it's as broad as the movie industry. Pretty much something for everyone if you look hard enough.

Once you've seen a few and can highlight what you like and don't like it becomes easier to recommend more. Just don't get pulled into the cycle of judgement a lot of the anime fan community indulges in. Some corners of it act like professional critics in all the worst ways. As with anything, the best way is to find what you like and don't let others dissuade you.

@ViciDraco my son told me that same thing. he mentioned that some of he people who comment are very critical and often post spoilers for people who they know havent watched an episode or season.
