Been watching #AttackOnTitan. Seasons 1 and 2 were pretty good. The entire first half of season 3 was completely unnecessary. Blah blah true king shut up no one cares. It's back to okay.

Kinda shocked this was what "made anime popular" but I suppose it does map very well to generic western "lots of violence and swearing, named characters die often" modern TV tastes.

Trying not to be too negative about things but I swear for about the last 15 years, the primary metric of your "big budget western TV show" is "well, do people die a lot in it?" If the answer is no then fuck off you're not prime time TV.

Listen, it takes me like 3 seasons to learn a character's name; I cannot even follow these shows.

Very weird to have lived through the 90s "violence in media" panic and now TV is like "if you have less than 1 genocide per season you're fucking canceled"

@TheZeldaZone I'm so bored of it. Violence in shows, in games, it's just so fucking boring.

It's like if the only thing on TV and in games was foot fetish pics. Like... sure, you do you, but stop being The Only Thing Allowed. Do people even like it as much as execs seem to think?

@TheZeldaZone Watching it the first time I felt the same about season 3.

But it becomes relevant to the overall world building and story arc in the last season
