Before I started watching I got mixed opinions about this show from several different people. I finally decided to watch it, and I have to say that this show, to me, is more boring than exciting. The constant whining from Eren and Armin have, on several occasions, almost made me abandon the show. The dialog in the show is WAY overdone. The entire first season should have been told in two episodes at the most. I use the FF button quite frequently. It's gotten to the point that I don't care about any big surprises coming up. The writers have watched way too many M. Night Shyamalan movies. There doesn't have to always have a strange twist with every reveal. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because the animation is pretty good, and the only character that I like in the show Mikasa, is a real badass that they show way too little of, again in my opinion. I've almost made it through the first season, and I finish things I start, so hopefully my rating changes for the better in the future.
