Attack on Titan Series Thoughts

I've been mulling over Attack on Titan's ending and how I'd rate the whole story from all kinds of angles and I've reached the conclusion that above all else, the ending is really fucking annoying.

A great or a terrible ending would help me make my mind up much more easily.

If it's great, it's great. If it's terrible it's a good story with a terrible ending.

But instead, it is a mixed bag: there are things about it I like a lot and things about it I don't like.

It is a very common belief that the ending is paramount to a story's quality, but I've found that this is not really true for me. My favourite anime ever pretty much doesn't even have a proper ending. My needs for an ending basically encompass some sort of sense of closure and that's about it.

Especially longer-running series often either make the journey worth it just by being as long as they are (so a pretty generic ending is okay) or fall off in quality long before they are done. But AoT is neither of these for me.

AoT in this sense is complicated for me because I can't decide whether the ending impacted the quality of the story or not depending on which aspect of the ending I focus on.

Some details make it immensely satisfying to me and some details sour it a little bit.

I think right now the good and bad things balance out so in general nothing changes about how I view the story overall.

In basics, I really like the emotional core of Attack on Titan, but I've always found it flawed on the technical level.

I'd give the story a 10 just for how much it emotionally engaged me and made me care. This story is the reason why I started this blog and I became active talking about media in the first place.

For a time I was losing the sense of fun of being a fan: people just became really hostile when discussing stuff.

But this past week or so has been incredible in my inbox, reminding me of the highs of being a fan, with so many wonderful messages.

Other stories have made me more angry, made me cry more or laugh more, but AoT made me feel the biggest spectrum of feelings.

No other story has made me do this, at most I only became a member of various forums as a random member; I didn't create a blog with the aim to talk about one.

From a technical level, I would give it a 6-7 depending on the section of the story.

The foreshadowing for various twists is pretty loose from start to finish, there is a bunch of redundant scenes all over the story and the pacing can be really uneven. It is not nearly as *well-crafted* of a story in my eyes as I see people praise it to be.

The art is a pretty huge mess at points, too.

I think sometimes the fact that this is the author's very first actual long-running story very much shines through. I think only a beginner would dare to employ historical imagery as bluntly as Isayama did, too, for example.

But to me the emotional core is magical.

The average of these two aspects, emotional and technical, would be around 8-8.5.

But at the same time, when I finished that last chapter I felt like I couldn't rate it and this has rarely happened to me.

I've kind of slowly distanced myself from number ratings in general because consuming media is a very emotional and personal thing and exploring it via positives and negatives feels much more apt.

From that perspective, I think the story is incredibly emotionally intelligent and understands humanity really well.

Stemming from that in turn, I think themes are the strongest aspect of the story next to characters. While I think the story faltered in a some instances when it came to characters, I think the themes mostly stood tall all the way through.

I think it ended up giving answers to and looping back to ideas it started with: seeing the good in the cruel world, facing humanity's unending desire for conflict and need to survive, living without regrets, learning to see the world in more complex shades of gray rather than black and whites and learning to do the right thing when needed.

As a mystery box, it does answer pretty much all of the big mysteries of the story and I think I don't really take issue with any of the big answers except maybe one very specific one. The numerous twists throughout the story range from absolutely genius to fairly typical. Again, the foreshadowing gets a lot of praise when it comes to this story, but I think a lot of the story actually isn't planned. Isayama just uses some details in clever ways to make it seem like it was planned.

I think that is a skill in itself that never gets nearly enough credit, but in the end, I think that is the weakest part of the story along with the world itself.

I like the walls themselves and I really like some of the Titan designs, but other than that I never had much interest in the world of AoT on its own. It always has to be connected to characters or themes for me to care. The crystal cave, time sand dunes and certain Titan skeleton are the most interesting settings in the story for me in that sense.

I think it does also fall in the pit of some pretty frustrating dark fantasy tropes, most specifically with a certain blonde female character who had one of the best character arcs in the story that was kind of just thrown under the bus.

It can't quite escape the pitfalls of that genre and it just so happens to be my favourite genre of story, so I constantly see excessive shock value rape, forced pregnancy and gay erasure happen in stories that I think are great otherwise. It's frustrating.

I hoped AoT would be better than that because for so long it was, but it didn't end up being as such.

But at the same time, I think most of its female cast still ended up being pretty great and did some pretty fun archetype-defying stuff. It's a pretty strange dichotomy. It is actually much better than most dark fantasy, but not quite there yet.

This is actually true for the male cast, too, I think. It does some fun playing around with all of the character archetypes.

The story's action scenes are thrilling and some of the action setpieces are really memorable. The final arc really shines in that sense to me. As a horror spectacle it is especially excellent.

Despite sometimes coming across as narmy/unintentionally funny, it still somehow manages to make the Titans a credible threat and this is true throughout the entire story, for different, evolving reasons.

I think the Titans have become iconic for a reason and never lost the luster throughout any of the story.

Along with that, my final point is that it is one of the few stories that sets up a kill 'em all setting that actually kills major characters with substantial focus and commits to it. It also doesn't kill too many characters where no character ever gets to actually develop.

So, considering all of what I listed above, what would my general thoughts be?

I think it still is a story worth checking out.

Personally I obviously love the story as a whole.

But I think any fan of dark fantasy/sci-fi could get a bunch of entertainment out of it: above all I think it is an extremely digestable series.

It's sometimes a very dense read, but I never felt it was a "hard" read. It's a very dark story with a lot of horrible things happening, but I never felt it was difficult to get through even in its darkest of moments.

My favourite characters ended up being Gabi, Reiner, Eren, Pieck, Armin and Annie. Zeke and Hange get a shoutout, too.

My favourite chapters ended up being 71, 82, 100, 122, 131 and 137.

Who are you guys' favourite characters and what are your favourite chapters and why?

Send me an ask explaining why for fun! (Or ask me for my reasonings?)

Hey, can you explain what you like about Queen of the Tearling? I wanted to like it because I see a lot of people recommend it, but I tried to listen to the audiobook and DNFed pretty quickly. I think the final straw for me was a scene where she was worried about eating in front of the dangerous man she was attracted to against her better judgement because she didn't want him to think she was greedy or something

u opened a can of worms buddy

so i want to start by saying i understand that this book isn’t necessarily for everyone. i’ve seen/read/watched rant reviews on this book that details all the reasons why this book/series is shit. i’m like obsessed. And I get it, not everyone is going to love this as much as I do, tastes are different, and I’m literally out here devoting my entire life to this series (lol starting my own religion brb).

some reasoning for the hatred (though valid, ultimately wrong imh(umble)o):

Kelsea is a Bad character — didn’t like that she was impulsive & never thinks through her actions, stupid, vain but has low self-esteem (and I see a lot of complaints about the scenes where she compares herself to her mom, her hatred of her mom and how they think that Kelsea hates her mom for caring about her appearance), sheltered & doesn’t know anything

World Building is Bad — “how the fuck is this medieval with mentions of Harry Potter?!” “why didn’t they bring the fucking important things to the ‘New World’ so they don’t regress???” “what”

“it’s a slow book — “DNF bc nothing happens”

everyone seems to also be really angry this got called “Game of Thrones meets Hunger Games”

all the reasons i love this series (some a response to the above list):

KELSEA — she is my all time favorite character and probably half the reason why i’m so invested in this series.

she is so smart (book smart, i mean. i concede she ain’t the smartest on the streets and she’s not good at having a poker face (throne??) because man does she burn some bridges)

she’s full of heart (her motivations NEVER waver. it’s always always always about saving her kingdom from others and from itself. everything she does is for the good of her people)

and ultimately that leads to not-thought-out decisions that angers a lot of people

she is dedicated to her kingdom and WILL NOT COMPROMISE with anyone for a middle-of-the-road solution.

she’s plain (and canonically a darker-skinned character than her white counterparts, i think tan really) and has a lot of self-esteem issues. she thinks about her mom, how vain she was, and Kelsea’s hatred is best explained as that she doesn’t hate her mom for obsessing over her looks, she hates her mom for prioritizing that while the kingdom is in shambles. Kelsea also obsesses over her appearance (and i’m not saying there’s a good way to obsess one’s looks) BUT she doesn’t let that get in the way of her duties as queen. (i’m also not saying someone is above another for not being into their looks). kelsea is INSECURE and it’s great.

she’s 19!!!! of course she’s gonna think about these things. of course she’s gonna worry about how people see her. i was 19 once and i can tell you, i was definitely full of shit then (and even now lmao) but she learns! she listens to people (though she ignores Lazarus a lot lol) and strives to be better (person and Queen).

she doesn’t sacrifice her own morals for anything

she grows so much throughout the series i cry about it all the time

most important: she’s FLAWED. yeah she’s badass but ultimately she fucks up so many times

i love her because i saw myself in her, found myself and my beliefs reflected in her character.

World Building — A+ very interesting and wonderful

i think you definitely need to go into this series knowing what it’s trying to do to kind of explain what is going on with the world. it’s a futuristic regressed society.

the way the world gets explained is through various methods, all very effective.

i love the little paragraphs at the start of each chapter that give insight to the way things worked (little histories, biographies, quotes, etc.) a lot of them also help characterize Kelsea even further, explain her actions, contextualize.

we get bits and pieces of the world (not info-dumping to explain all at once) and it all gets expanded and explained more thoroughly (through memories and scenes) later in the series. the slow world building is part of the plot and essential to the build up.

the history gets explained in the end and everything circles back to the beginning.

this series is very much a delayed gratification situation, and so worth it in the end.

Slow Book — this is true and honestly it’s heavy on the politics (which I love) so if you’re not into slow books, you won’t be into this. to each their own. but i loved it so much. this is a book that kept me up until 7AM reading just to finish. it might be slow but it was intriguing because I was invested in Kelsea.

ok that last point is everyone else’s fault lmao do not blame the book. nothing good ever comes out from such comparisons anyway and in general that comparison specifically is so untrue.

Characters —they’re all interesting and Great, and their relationship to Kelsea is just *clenches fist* so damn good

Mace — fiercely loyal, father figure, badass, interesting history, super protective but also just gives Kelsea her space, such a dad, SECRETLY A SWEETIE

Pen — sweet, adorable, loyal, deserves the world, stupid, would do everything (including get fucked up drunk) for Kelsea; i also like to imagine he has a killer smile

the Red Queen — BAMF, also interesting history with very fucked up motivations, intriguing, and her storyline is definitely wild

the Fetch — mysterious and creepy, out there doing That

~~~~ ominous dude ~~~~ — can’t say much besides WOW dude this storyline is kinda wild and unexpected

all the other people who come into contact with Kelsea and literally have their lives changed like #same

Writing — I love it.

there’s perspective shifts pretty often that help give an overview of the world not just as Kelsea knows it but as it is. it also really helps to give life to the characters. it’s pretty balanced because everything is important to the story. you don’t read about this random peasant just because lol (there is kind of a random peasant)

There’s no all-consuming romance. Don’t get me wrong I love romance and I’m all about that angst. But I also love the lack of one in this because that’s really not where her priorities are. Sure there’s a little bit of pining (from more than one person to more than two people lmao???) but ultimately, for Kelsea, she doesn’t have time for that!

Found Family!!!!! — i’m a sucker for this trope

Kelsea and the Queen’s Guard???? FAMILY FAMILY FAMILY

there’s respect both ways. none of them disrespected Kelsea (i think there was maybe one instance but was remedied immediately) and Kelsea doesn’t think she’s above any of them. THEY WOULD DIE FOR HER (it’s kinda their job, but also out of free will) AND SHE FOR THEM (AND ME FOR ALL OF THEM)

Books — they’re important to Kelsea and she gives people the gift of reading!

Lastly (for now), it’s dreadful. Whenever I read the first two books, I was really fearing for the fate of the tearling (pun kinda intended) and I loved every minute of it. I love just how well desperation is portrayed in this series contrasted with the grim determination of the characters to succeed (read: Kelsea).

Weblog Startup Journey

Our clientele finished up satisfied, our item was powerful, but our conversion price was dreadful. Here’s how we reworked that...

I'd been in regards to the cellphone obtaining a marketer very good friend; a professional who several within the most vital web businesses around the world get in touch with for assist on conversion optimization.

For turning into entirely trustworthy, I’m surprised you happen to be receiving any conversions by any signifies.

His guidelines were grim. However, it was special. And that I comprehended it was proper.

There is no narrative, the messaging is practically all over the place, and it just isn't likely to give me one particular specific wonderful rationalization to complete organization along with you.

At times - no less than for me - it will contemplate buying a person else say it to grasp the fact which can be suitable for me all jointly with.

Concerning the merchandise aspect, problems ended up wonderful. We seasoned just today arrived at Product/Market In the issue, and our customers have been loving Groove.

Relating to the promoting and promoting and advertising and marketing facet, this website was bringing us a sizable quantity of new visitors, but at two.3%, our conversion value was dreadful.

In an organic way, not all website guests are efficacious. For tons of oldsters who read through using by way of this net website or shell out a look into to from Twitter or Hacker Knowledge, Groove just isn't essentially the most efficient solution. Just a portion of our site web site website visitors is created up of exceptionally able possible buyers that we’re the correct match for, but we needed to complete a considerably much better profession at achieving that portion.

At two.3%, we wouldn't hold in the group very prolonged.

We would have appreciated a large get.

If we weren’t smarter than just just just before, we have been, without having issue, substantially a lot much more experienced.

We understood how devastating it might be to leap into an overhaul blind.

The ultimate time we did that, it worth us six months and $50,000.

This time, we had been likely to do our study 1st.

We understood the placement was not performing, but currently being a way to execute considerably greater, we might have preferred to establish why. We commenced by studying using by the use of every stage we could get our fingers on, on-line and off, about landing web page variety.

Quite a few through the most worthwhile cost-free methods we positioned were:

Takeaway: Every time I contemplate on a company, I allow it to be some extent to typically try to uncover from people smarter and much considerably much more seasoned than myself. If you come about to become quite most likely to make investments time and resources to build a website, make investments time and sources to know what functions for other people. It is not going to all operate to suit your calls for, however, it pays off.

Our adhering to the stage was to go additional into operating out why our website was failing. To validate our quantitative advantages by getting qualitative remarks from folks who comprehended the things they concluded up ending up.

We questioned for virtually a dozen authorities for tips on our web website, which incorporates:

We did not require to skew their suggestions, so we did not clarify to them our conversion bills. Currently being a substitute, we asked for open-ended problems about the problems they thought of our website, according to their experience and capabilities.

The ultimate benefits weren’t relatively. However, they finished up massively worthwhile.

Briefly, our messaging and positioning finished up someplace inside the region between fairly terrible and unbelievably terrible.

Customer support may be an object, not an impediment. What predicament does one particular take into account you will be resolving, just?

You happen to be promoting me on how easy it is to create up. However, you haven't even persuaded me which I want up nevertheless.

We finished up, to put it bluntly, lacking the aim.

You could be conversing in your buyers the best way you think that business people are intended to talk. It is marketing-speak, and folk detests that.

I comprehended this was correct, and that I comprehended it totally was incorrect. I recommended him I comprehended that we should always just be using our have a voice, and conversing the way in which we do. He interjected:

Nope, you need to communicate like your customers do.

Takeaway: If you've been creating associations with men and women who know a good deal far more about selling than you must do, you could find a handful of objects significantly far more worthwhile you may be all set to ask for than expert tips in your individual strategy. They might not have each one from the responses, but you'll have a great deal much more notion than you started with.

We attained appropriate right down to comprehend, as our buddies suggested, how our customers talked and what was most significant to them.

We regarded up an affect report in KISSmetrics to find out our most engaged conclude end users: individuals who managed a good deal a lot more than forty e-mails weekly.

Then we picked up the phone.

We didn't supply out surveys, we didn't e-mail them inquiries, and we didn't ask for a single factor that could be answered getting a “yes” or “no.”

We comprehended that if we required possessing the notion we needed - not information, but phrases - the very best approach to consider this may be through acquiring actual conversations with our buyers.

Via phone phone phone calls and Skype, we questioned our electrical power clientele an established of probing inquiries, created not only to help us understand their issues and the things they cherished and hated about Groove, but to provide us deep insights on the exact phrases they utilized to explain these problems.

The 4 inquiries we questioned are previously:

You'll track down notes from an individual of our cellphone phone calls, which includes the responses from your consumer (with pinpointing understanding scrubbed), right here.

Not merely finished up the responses that we acquired full of surprises for us, but several of individuals would increase for getting the muse of our messaging to the new net website page.

Takeaway: Your customers can teach you much more about advertising and advertising your business than anyone. Inquire them heaps of issues and consider out to identify developments while in the responses; if you happen to be hearing the equivalent objects exclusively before described and all around again, it is nearly certainly properly truly well worth concentrating on in your advertising and marketing and marketing and advertising.

We regarded what our buyers ended up having into account, but we vital to go even more in about the “decision triggers” that developed folks sign up for Groove. If we identified exactly why folks signed up although the choice was, even so, new within their head, we might know which positioning and messaging we'd concentrate on to elicit specifically the same steps from men and women.

As we uncovered inside of our prior client advancement strategies, regularly the evident method to get an answer to your difficulty is simply to inquire.

We recognized up our welcome electronic mail to inquire new customers a straightforward issue:

The final results occur to obtain annoying. This e-mail can get a 41% reaction cost, and it's got supplied us far more business notion than any digital mail we have at any time despatched, with responses like:

Related to our buyer surveys, the responses we have received gotten from this issue have experienced a large influence on our advertising and marketing.

Evidently, we located which the responses to this situation could usually range amongst buyers who response it speedily right correct soon after signup, and folks who have presently been using Groove for almost any seven occasions or to obtain a to get a more time. Subsequent a handful of instances, the responses commence skewing significantly far more inside the course of special characteristics by way of the application.

For that cause, we felt it was essential to question for the predicament right away so that the choice was even so refreshing within the user’s mind.

Takeaway: Determining what drives your consumers to get is a great offer less difficult than you could feel. All you could have to do is inquire; speedily ahead of extended soon after signup is very best possible.

Though almost certainly probably the most vital facet may well be to generate messaging about our consumers, we also necessary to produce particular we had been developing Groove to become the company that we needed, also.

Within the advice of one in the organization residence house owners we skilled talked to the inside of our preliminary investigation phases, we produced an option to occupation job interview ourselves.

The physical exertion we did was very comparable to the 1 particular we executed following we finished up operating out what this net website was most likely to be: definitely absolutely everyone with regards to the Groove staff answered an established of inquiries that we manufactured that can assist you us not merely build out who we have been but despite regardless of whether we have previously been all inside of the equivalent web page regarding this.

You'll identify these considerations - and steal them with your person maker improvement helps make an endeavor - outlined properly right here.

This workout was crucial have. The conversations that it started out as well as the conclusions, it resulted in assisted our group broaden nearer and far much more cohesive than we've at any time been.

Armed with our evaluation, our consumer insights, and our individual responses, we commenced producing.

Takeaway: Forward of you'll be able to explain to your tale, you must internalize it. It would seem effortless, but an uncomplicated training such as the one previously discussed can have your team nearer collectively and set off you to certainly significantly much more ready to mention your online business.

In every single solitary prior iteration of our internet site, we spot aesthetics first.

Enhanced than everything, it required to “look” fantastic.

We'd produce styles, draft duplicate, and subsequent that reduce or rewrite our phrases to suit the look.

Searching again, this was mad.

Not basically was it costly - shifting textual articles or blog posts in HTML is way less difficult than re-doing variety - it compelled us to compromise regarding the one particular specific most critical asset of our site: our notion.

We had portrayed our residence just before we made it.

This time, we took a particular approach.

We took the knowledge that we acquired from our seeking by way of, our skilled viewpoints, our client discussions and our have introspection, and we regarded of how we might notify the best tale this time, determined by what our conclusions concluded up telling us.

We understood that we are vital to check a long-form landing internet site web page, but which was more than it.

And though we wished duplicate to own the immediate in depth under, we positioned it truly tough to publish with none construction easily.

So, using Balsamiq, we produced an extremely typical wireframe inside the long-form webpage, guided by structure elements from websites that we decided on (and comprehended remodeled appropriately), like CrazyEgg’s along with a 2011 earnings website page for Highrise all through the staff at Basecamp (beforehand 37Signals), between individuals.

Nearly all of all, we didn't wed ourselves to this composition. We just utilized it related to your handbook, acknowledging that it have been adaptable and fluid, which we might circumstance it about the duplicate we wrote.

Then we wrote that replicate. Web pages, using every factor we discovered even though inside the months before.

We also recognized that we wished consumer tales to attribute prominently on our web website. We wished gentlemen and ladies to obtain fully prepared to visualize themselves though within the sneakers of the Groove client, reaping all of the benefits of endeavor organization with us.

So though we wrote, we questioned for our pal (and Groove client) Allan Office at LessFilms if he would assist us acquiring a testimonial about the web motion picture showcasing his SaaS firm, LessAccounting. In just several of cases, they manufactured a superb piece for our homepage.

We wished your situation to get there at genuinely really feel akin to dialogue with each one from the reader, in order we wrote, we analysis it out loud to each other, a huge selection of activities.

We wrote two entirely distinctive narratives during the issues that our customers confronted. We selected the two we did establish by the tendencies inside of our buyer suggestions. In each one, we wrote dozens of the headline and duplicate variations to check.

It took us composing fifty headlines to come back up with just 5 to check. We led with benefits, not attributes. With centered on genuine concerns that we solved relatively than imprecise descriptions of Groove’s use situations. We tried to display exclusively why Groove was probably the most appropriate option to unravel our reader’s predicament. We supplied validation elements and some cellphone phone calls to the motion. We invested times crafting the way in which by which we unveiled our give you with.

We edited, reduce and rewrote practically every single solitary stage till we are previously delighted that we seasoned something we could make: at some point, a place to begin.

And only then did we start off with composition.

We bent and rearranged our wireframe to go properly with the copy we seasoned composed, appropriate following which we designed a mockup from that.

We weren’t thinking about investing months - or maybe months - producing and making just before the start. We might sacrifice perfection though while in the discovery of “shipping it,” and four moments afterward, we seasoned an enterprise operate prototype that we finished up completely ready to have a look at.

Takeaway: I’m not disparaging wonderful structure; hell, I obsess in too much of the factors. But concentrating on composition within the cost of posts may be lethal. To discover an equilibrium, we experienced to reverse strategy and region format while in the once more however yet again seat, acquiring a “copy-first” technique.
