The only thing that was left out at the end was going through with the romantic relationships. But there were a lot of crazy shippers literally sending him death threats. It's one of the reasons that a lot of younger more recent mangaka have decided to completely hide their identity and stay off social media. The manga is certainly not perfect. But most of the story lines and the characters that were actually important got great arcs. Sure he should have killed more heroes, but that's just a nitpick. As far as the My Villain Academia arc, the arc was very unpopular in Japan. It's why the anime made it shorter then it was in the manga. And do mangaka change the story because of readership? They are literally forced to by Shounen Jump. Shounen Jump has reader surveys in every physical copy of the magazine in Japan and those surveys are taken seriously by the publishing company. They are what determines whether a manga is kept or axed. And if a manga gets bad reviews in the survey the editors will have the mangaka change things to try and get readership up.

It's like Reiner and eren are really the same when eren goes to Marley He completely understands Reiner Not being the best at anything But his drive and will

His years behind the walls were the happiest years of his life

Ultimately I think it’s a yes and a no. I think the overall meat of the story was the one Hori wanted to tell. But he definitely cut off some meat when he was trimming the fat. Up until the summer training I was under the impression that the series would span the course of the in universe years that Deku would be attending UA. Where we would get the chance for every character to have an arc where they would play a larger role(For example how Kirishima had his story during the Overhaul arc) it didn’t have to be much, they wouldn’t even necessary need to fight. But it seemed that he would increase the pacing while cutting away other segments. Fans would be at odds over what part of the story they enjoyed. Some hated the school training and tests while others hated the dramatic battles with the villains. I’m just glad most of the things he did managed to set up got proper pay offs.

Hell no. If that was the case, he never would’ve gone through with Endeavor’s atonement.

You mention All Might and Bakugo but I think most ass writing was when Gran Torino survived. We already had so many characters in the story and not even relevant side characters ended up dying

The writing was « ruined » ???😐did we read the same manga lol. The goal of the story may have been changed by hori mid production, he still managed to finish off most plotlines well enough to tell a good story. Id rate it 8.5 without a doubt.

If hori had full freedom, im sure he would have made the manga longer and could’ve develop and execute better the storyline and the world building.

No

Are you saying it wouldn't have been all for nothing

It appears that Horikoshi chooses which characters he wants to kill off and which characters he wants to let live without much influence from the fans. Endeavour is one of those examples. I recall him mentioning that he wanted to kill him off against Nomu, but he changed his mind since there was still so much story to tell. He could've chosen the typical 'redemption via death' route, but he chose to spin it instead. I believe he was never going to kill All Might in the first place. I think what he meant was that that fight vs AFO was going to come later, but he moved it forward and pushed the villain stuff for later, i. e. S5 of the anime. So many times we see the mentor die and it's up to the successor to figure out the path on his own once the torch is passed, however, Horikoshi decided to let him live and spun the trope in a different direction. Bakugo saving All Might was amazing for Bakugo's character. Should it have been easy to fight AFO with his injuries, no. Even with the explanation provided (quirks rebelling, weakened, etc.), that felt forced regardless of how epic it looked. I agree with your point that for the villains being as horrifyingly powerful as they are, our heroes rarely show that they feel the consequences that the story is trying to relay to the audience. This is until s6 and onwards, of course. Basically, the villains don't do enough lasting damage to those we care about, even though they are more than strong enough to do so.

I wouldn't say his fear is responsible, but the people who stoked that fear are responsible

I have only watched some of the anime, but I began to lose interest with the change in emphasis of the plucky young heroes to the villains. It seemed that the overall tone changed as well and became more grim. Instead of being about the young heroes getting stronger and growing as a team, the anime switched more about the villains and horrific battles with the heroes getting injured and barely surviving confrontations. The emphasis also focused in on fewer of the heroes with many of them becoming more or less irrelevant. In some respects, it switched from "watch the young heroes learn and grow" to "watch them get beat up".

Another inconsistency: how does the survey corps know that colossal titan can explode when transforming? Bert has transformed 4 times and the first 3 times there were no explosions. Even if we assume that collosal can transform in 2 ways: with & without explosion, how did paradise forces know about it?

To me scaling is similar to time in Jojo, it just doesn’t matter too much. Interesting about the thinner walls though, also looked like there where windows and towers on it in early versions

Yea scaling is something a lot of mangakas cant do for some reason

It seems that no one mentions it here but the real inconsistency or a plot hole is has to do with fucking Ymir and bigger lore. Let me just say, if Eldians are descendants of Ymir then what the hell is the royal blood?

one inconsistency I can't just get out of my head, was the setup that titans actually weigh less than expected

Another one was when Rod transformed into the incomplete titan he licked the serum off the ground but hange said she couldn’t experiment with the serum because it evaporates as soon as it comes into contact with air.

3:47 I think these scenes are meant to be “establishing shots” which mostly just try to convey the threat of their heights, so obviously cause Bert’s colossal Titan is huge they will make Eren’s Titan look tiny so it can be established that he is a big threat, same for armins Titan stomping on the ship. Although in the anime they remove the ship and replace the whole scenery with a wasteland with nothing left after the nuke explosion.

The only one i cought thats definitely nitpicking but its when hanas is fighting the "smiling titan" he hooks onto nothing at one point

the colossal titan disappearing is like the only major undeniable plot hole in aot. every other one can be argued to a certain extent

When the colossal Titan first appeared the lighting was regular Titan lighting, just more of an earthquake, not a nuke

How noone talks about Eren's berserk mode when fighting Annie in S1? It never get any explaination further

Titans are much lighter than humans. So they shouldn't be able to dive in the ocean. Only float at the very top

Reiner transferring his consciousness to his balls is probably the biggest writing failure in the whole series. (I still love the series to death but man was that very strong plot armour.)

0 inconsistencies. Just wasted my 4 minutes 👎

Naw bro the only legitimate mistake in this video is how the colossal titan disappeared without a trace. The rest can be explained.

I’ve got one. The outer most wall is about 960km in diameter, which is just under 600 miles. Apparently the island of Paradis is meant to be Madagascar, but in real life it’s less than 400 miles wide. Despite this, the walls are able to fit so snuggly inside the island that it’s inhabitants did not even know the ocean existed.

One tip I would give anyone to help with scaling: programs such as Blender or Unreal have ways of showing proper scaling in 3D space. I know that not everyone has the computer power to run these programs, but even a simple mockup in Blender can give you a better idea of how tall or short things are. Also these programs are free

I always thought about how the colossal total destroyed the walls when there’s wall titans

i never got the scale difference argument with eren’s titan vs the colossal. eren is clearly hunched over, if he stood straight he would clearly be standing around the knees.

In the first chapter Berthold transforms just in front of the wall without any devastating nuclear blast, but in the rest of the story it seems like the nuclear blast is part of the colossal titan transformation and is inevitable.

There’s an inconsistency in Attack on Titan that occurs in Season 3, Episode 11. In this episode, Keith Sadies mentions that he met Eren's father, Grisha Yeager, outside the walls 20 years ago. However, we know from later events that Eren consumed his father five years before the meeting with Keith Sadies. This means Grisha lived for about 15 years from the time he arrived within the walls until his death. The problem is that, according to the established rules of the show, a Titan shifter can only live for 13 years after inheriting a Titan's power. This raises a contradiction, as Grisha should have been dead before 15 years passed, but he was still alive when Eren ate him.

AOT has always been inconsistent with the walls. widely noticed within the anime.

Maybe the fact that colossal titans explode but bertholdt didn't blow up the walls

Bro you sound like Farket dude that makes videos about the forest. Same energy for real

I always saw the whole scaling thing (in the anime not the Manga, there its just an error) is meant to represent the state in which the character who tells the storie is. Like when eren tries to stop Bertholds Titan, he feels extremly small, meaningless and powerless so he is drawn that way. The whole wall thing in the first chapter is very intressting tho, never caught that. Very sudden Video end but other then that good video, looking forward to more!

I believe that different size of colossal titan might be sort of visualising their view on it. In scenes where this titan must seem powerful and scary they seem to make him look larger, while in less important scenes its just smaller. Some sort of visual writing imo

Major SPOILER ALERT!! Only question I have is, why didn‘t old man titan in season 1 turn into his human form again and become Founder&Attack Titan after eating Eren(who already was a shifter, just didn‘t know it)? Instead he walked around doing what Titans do until Eren transformed the first time inside him. At all other occasions they pretty much immidiately turn back to their human form after eating a shifter. Is the explanation really supposed to be „because he didn‘t chew and Eren wasn‘t dead“? Seems just a little weird and convenient, seeing as most Titans just throw the human in their mouth and swallow them instantly, only biting on what was between their teeth on that initial bite.

I don't know if this is an inconsistency but they kept saying there's tens of millions Titan sleep inside the walls, clearly with the size of the Colossus Titan, that's impossible. I can understand king Fritz saying that to scare off Marley but the later mentions were weird.

Sometimes the railways of the walls lay flat, but sometimes the walls have these foundational structures around them, so they rail has to go up and down over these.

The huge exaggeration of scale is kinda cool tho.

Inconsistencies tend to happen with stories that don't go through a full story drafting process, or just with stories that are very long running in general. Human memory is imperfect, or with per-chapter drafting, its planned as it goes. Per chapter drafting has its strengths and drawbacks, like inconsistencies or the potential for you to mess up an ending, and the inability to go back and change things because you release it as its drafted. But it also prevents burnout, and pushes out the story faster. As you are working on it linearly rather than retracing old work.

I'd say, height is indeed very inconsistent throughout the whole show. I see that as an artistic mistake and very rarely that mistake helps the narrative. I will agree the language is a mistake that is easily forgotten by the voice actors, since they all speak the same language in the anime, we don't actually think about it. About the first scene of the colossal titan, the only thing I can think of is that Bert created some extra steam, and Eren wasn't that smart at the time to try to investigate. One thing that always bothered me is that the first episode explosion doesn't seem to be as strong as the one in the Shiganshina war, the only explanation I would have for that is that the titan user can somehow hold back on the explosion (which it would make sense to not damage the wall).

Armin actually mentions that they have to be careful about their accent in chapter 107. So their accent is different.

The size inconcistencies between titans is the one I noticed even in the anime, not that it bothered me but I was confused sometimes.

3:00 is not an inconsistency, we can see eren lifting an entire battleship that is half as tall as him, we see eren kruger do the same thing so it's not a scaling error or anything that's actually the ship's size when compared to the colossal titan

The walls are almost never drawn to he 50 meters, they feel like 200. I personally dont mind size inconsistencies but this one feels weird since they're just always super tall so just give them a bigger cannon height
