Unpopular anime opinions.

Because I really hold the most unpopular anime opinion: I like spoilers because I like to know if I'm wasting my time on a show.

swords, because "weapon"

Swords because nothing else really works. Call the titans' regenerative abilities contrived, but they do manage to justify the swords.

I don't get how Jean is cliche to you when he's probably one of the more developed characters in the show. He goes from being a spineless coward to someone other people who are not freakishly talented like Mika can look up too because he knows what it means to be weak. As the series goes constantly pushes himself to not run away from the dangerous situations and in many ways is the most realistic character in the show. While most people in the show are either dedicated to the cause or scared poopless Jean remains in the middle meaning he is still very much afraid but doesn't let it get in the way of doing what's right.

Tangential musings on weapons and Attack on Titan aside, though, here's my unpopular stance (which may not actually be that unpopular after all): I absolutely thrive on spoilers.

To me, there's a huge difference between merely knowing that an event happened and actually being there to see that event happen. You can tell me all you want about characters dying, plot twists unfolding, and other major story events, but I won't be satisfied until I actually witness those major story events for myself (as well as the buildup to and the fallout from those events).

Hey Animeking, how about you not be a giant hypocrite in terms of spoilers. Part of your titan long rant was about the diehard fans of it randomly shouting out spoilers. Yet you're too bloody lazy, you said so yourself, to put up proper spoiler tags in your rant. As you pointed out in your rant not everyone has seen it, so thanks for the spoilers. Hadn't finished it myself so once again thanks a bunch. Why not practice what you preach while up on your soapbox belittling people.
