    Animoo arguably features more tropes, than any other pieces of “cinema”. After a while you no longer see the movie/series, but certain tropes. You know “oh, a redhair character, she’s gonna be Asuka #34786348568475”, or “oh, the frail school student, let me guess, Ikari Shinji #89475986759856” and you think to yourself: gee, I wonder how they are going to apply this version of Asuka and Shinji and what are going be their deviations to the original trope.

    Said tropes are either connected and presented in a fun, often original way, or bland and boring. For me, Attack on Titan falls into the latter category.

        Not really. There are still titles that I enjoy very much and am surprised by their story/worldbuilding.

        It’s just that tropes are usually too easy to recognize and predict.

        • The protagonist, young horny male is invited/allowed/ordered to live in the apartment of his older supervisor/superior. To spice things up, an energetic, AD-HD like character, that might be also a young female, also lands in the same place… Some drama and comical situations are not optional.
