I will not go into great detail as to why I despise this show. Eventually, I will make a YouTube video and go into great detail, but to summarize, the pacing is way too fast, the characters have no characteristics, and they are all miserable all the time. There is nothing worse than a cast that I don't don't care about. The show quickly establishes that the side characters have no worth. It doesn't dedicate any time to their development. It doesn't make you want to relate to them because the show has absolutely no downtime. The characters can't take 2 seconds to just chill
...
and have some fun because the show is just plot plot plot plot. Nothing matters except the plot and the main character. Everything else just serves to traumatize him, and make the big reveals in this show seem really dramatic, when with the exception of a few of them, they are all easy to spot.
So the characters are terrible and it gives the audience no reason to care about them. Problem with a show with terrible characters is that nothing else matters.
The plot is interesting, the premise is enthralling, and the first couple episodes are spectacular, if the characters we even mildly interesting.
I thought I would never say this, but this show is in desperate need of a beach episode or something. Make me care about the characters. How do you do that? Show them having fun for a single time in the entire show.
And that really is the thing. This show wants you to feel miserable. The only emotions you ever have watching this show are sadness, anger, gratification, and vindictiveness. If you manage to carr for the characters, then maybe you would feel relief and excitement.
But was joy mentioned there? No. Because you will never have just some simple joy watching this show.
If you want to watch a show that balences the plot with the characters, one that makes you care and keeps you invested, one that is almost as dark and depressing as Attack on Titan, but that has some light, joyful moments sprinkles in between, just watch "86". It's phenomenal, and everything Attack on Titan should have been if it had good writers.
