No needs to caps lock, you're among fans.

I doubt there's anyone left in this Dust community we haven't forced to watch it.

We should force them to watch Madoka Magica next, it's way better :3

Ah, I could talk about Madoka Magica vs AoT for days.

You see, Madoka Magica is a magical girl anime that takes the genre and smashes it in the face. Completely redefining how you approach anime in general. What you see isn't what you'll get. The staff from Shaft involved in it's productions were the same people who did Hidmari Sketch which is a very slow slice of life shows about cute girls doing cute things.

But Madoka Magica is the exact opposite, completely story line driven with not a moment wasted in progressing this fast-paced plot. The girls moe character design serve to contradict the stories very dark nature. Not a moment is wasted in the plot continuing the story and mind-******* you endlessly.

Where as AoT is what you see is what you get. Though AoT does a magnificent job in constantly hiring the bar and creating suspense, it fails at creating proper character motivation or growth. So many characters left high, no growth, one dimensional, existing for no purpose other then to push an atmosphere. There's a lot of skipped scenes and untold story. And it's pretty easy to see why when you google the people behind the show - they didn't expect it to succeed, and was designed specifically with the idea of promoting the manga.

It took them by shock how popular the show became, and if they had another shot at it we'd probably get much better story. AoT focus's too much on atmosphere and the gravity of issues rather then the individual points that all shows are built upon - the characters.

But because of how intense AoT is a lot of the holes in the story get glossed over. AoT is damn exciting. But so is Madoka Magica, and in MM I actually know and care about the characters, lol.

Madoka Magica does what AoT either refuses or couldn't do - it fills you in on everything without letting you know there's more to look for.

Beyblades was ******* cool, just like medabots.

But both shows had the same issue and didn't know when to quit.

Once you go subbed you never go back.

I used to love watching Naruto dubbed. Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked I started watching some stuff subbed, and now I can't watch anything dubbed anymore.
