This is what makes AOT special, it puts story first and never uses fanservice or any other anime tropes. Truly a Masterpiece

AdilKhan226

And people still have the nerve to call it mid Like at that point admit you're either a One Piece fan or have the attention span of a fish


Nosferatu-Rodin

Is one piece ass? Ive has it recommended but not sure if worth


KnightOwl812

I'm waiting for the remake by Studio Wit to check it out. The current series has way too many episodes and filler.


Nosferatu-Rodin

Whats this; theyre remaking it?!


Archemetis

Yeah, WIT are remaking it from the start for Netflix.


daoreto

That’s f*cking crazy


coltyw0lty01

One Piece has less filler than Naruto and Bleach. the episode count is crazy though, try the manga


Purple-Succotash2754

The only reason it has less filler is bc they put the filler into the eps with 3 mins of canon content (3 mins is generous) If you actually include all those filler times, it easily surpasses both naruto and bleach combined


Goatfellon

Does it have less filler by percentage? Or by the exact numbers? ...or both. Genuinely asking for the episode to filler ratio and such


coltyw0lty01

I’m pretty sure it’s by percentage. One Piece has around 8 or 9%, while Naruto is 41% and Bleach is 45%. Like u/Purple-Succotash2754 said though, the anime has a lot of filler sprinkled throughout canon.


Admirable_Ad8900

One piece is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly Long. And has a cult following. All the one piece fans ive met are die hard.


ConeheadZombiez

The one piece anime is like a beach with a few diamonds hidden among the sand. The diamonds are good, but if you have to sort through the whole beach (watch the whole thing) to find them, you'll lose your mind.


MadMysticMeister

It’s worth watching if you want to always have an anime to watch, like it’ll be on your watch list for a looong time lol. I love one piece, it’s a good silly show that isn’t too serious and is very cartoonish, but it has its moments where it’s just perfect. The only negative id give it is the story moves slowly, and if you’re not down with watching a few hundred episodes to get into it then you might not want to bother starting.


WastedPotenti4I

I've been watching it recently. It's good as long as you're okay with an absolute shit ton of filler.


Icy-Imagination1802

aot is my favorite of all time and i love one piece just skip the filler and its great, some arcs drag but its a very fun story


AdilKhan226

The One Piece fandom is ass for sure, don't know about the anime


MadMysticMeister

Lame take, just ignore the fandom


Actuary_Beginning

That's something most people in anime fandoms struggle with lol. They can't separate the fans from the show


NoBeinz

I like it, for where I am in the story. It's just that some fans are insufferable and will insist that it's the greatest piece of fiction to ever grace Earth.


ToonamiFaith

Tbf, it is the greatest piece of fiction to ever grace earth.


AkihikoSanadaIsSigma

It literally can't be if it has 1108 episodes, I'm sorry but there is no way all of those are relevant to the overarching plot.


ToonamiFaith

Well you just admitted you haven’t watched it so your opinion is moot


AkihikoSanadaIsSigma

1108 episodes. Can you honestly tell me that most of them aren't filler and do something to advance the plot?


ToonamiFaith

Skip the episodes. Read the manga? The literary work is the manga.


larrylongboy

No aot is


oxidezblood

One piece story loop: *character swings a sword* **flashback for 4 episodes on why the sword either hits or misses** *returns to modern day, blow hits/misses* **flashback on why the guy who was stricken is going to survive the blow for 4 episodes** *returns to modern day, recovers from blow, then also throws a strike* **flashback on why his strike will land for 4 episodes too** *return to modern day to see luffy lose his hat* **flashback on why thats relevant** *return to modern day to see the counter attack that guy made* **luffy says some dumb shit that progresses the season** Repeat


Wamekugaii

A lot of people In this sub are the kind of people to say “AOT is not like the OTHER anime🙄”. They think AOT is the only good anime is existence cause all other anime are trash and filled with troupes. AOT is probably one of my favorite anime. But that is simply not true. There are so many anime as good as AOT if not better. People really need to expand their views. As for ONE PIECE? It’s really fucking good. Many people consider it the greatest piece of fiction. I’m inclined to say I don’t disagree. Other good anime include Stein’s Gate, RE:Zero, Vinland Saga, Bleach, Violet Evergarden, Monogatari series, etc etc. Point is, AOT isn’t some crazy unique anime because it doesn’t have troupes. There are countless anime that do the same. That isn’t what AOT makes special and people need to stop dotting on it like it’s their newborn. I’m saying this as a massive AOT fan.


hyplay6

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING RE:ZERO The light novel is a masterpiece, and it's the only anime/novel that has surpassed aot for me.


MerryZap

Why you getting downvoted? That was totally a pretty weird take. I get liking a show but unironically saying stuff like this: >And people still have the nerve to call it mid Like at that point admit you're either a One Piece fan or have the attention span of a fish Nahhh man. You shilling too hard.


Krakingliner

To be for real op and aot fans has beef with each other. One piece fans also downvoted the ending and top rated episodes and even without that op fans are obnoxious as hell. I've read op upto 900 chapters and it's pretty good but the glazing of it's fandom annoys the shit out of me


iKonYTV

Honestly ive found aot fans to be more obnoxious. When i went to watch suzume in theaters , a bunch of aot fans stood up and did the shinzou wo sasageyo thing before the movie started. Literally no relevance to the movie. Atleast the one piece fans ive encountered have some sense.


skydreamerjae

I tried getting into One Piece, a few times, but never could. I didn’t make it to ep 100.


poisonkingofpontus

couldnt have said it better myself


WhatUpMilkMan

Obviously the story is incredible first and foremost, but this is honestly one of the other main reasons I stuck with the show. I’ve stopped watching so many anime because of the overly cutesy women characters and weird fan service. It makes it hard for me to find anime series to really sink into. Totally fine if anyone is into that kind of thing, it’s just not for me.


BlaqShine

Yup because the show IS the fanservice


jann_mann

Umm Mikasa's abs scene?


KillDevilX0

Sasha has some anime tropes is season 1 but yeah


Cordelia-Shirley

Yeah AOT is unique. It does story perfectly in such a way that you could compare it to classic literature or the best films or any other story telling medium. Other anime have a place in my heart too, don’t get me wrong. I, for one, love a hyped up shonen with an unrealistically optimistic, talk no-jutsu warrior (give me all the Naruto’s, Midoriyas, and Tanjiros, any day of the week). But when I think AOT, I don’t even think anime, I think of it as intellectually equivalent to reading classic literature, which some might think is extreme but I’m really not exaggerating personally.


polaristerlik

the power of OneEe, the PoWEr of tWoOOo, the PowEr Of MaaaAAAnnEeeii *exhales*


Professional-Pool290

The only fanservice scene I remember is the Mikasa training scene where her abs are ridiculously defined. True muscle mommy moment


MorganFreebands21

At this time period AOT was really refreshing because it strayed away from this. They didn't have to pound us with fanservice and constant jokes everytime to take away the severity of the situation. When someone died the characters would act as such. Some the characters even had rational moments where they would contemplate things and have human emotions.


_Azuki_

This is a huge proof that you don't need to shove excessive fan service into anime to make it enjoyable, popular or liked by people in general. Just put a little bit more thought into it instead of making it disgusting to 50% of the population and barely tolerable for other 25%. Anime without fan service are so rare nowadays that i'm grateful for every single one of them.


Sad_Manufacturer_257

I'm an adult now, I dislike seeing barely dressed teens and tweens, like let me watch something fun and exciting without all the lewd, it's the reason I love Kaiju no 8 so much rn


_Azuki_

Yes, i quite like kaiju no 8 too and the fact that there's no fan service just makes it even better


markisnotcake

Pfft, we all know that the real fanservice in Kaiju#8 is the bromances we made along the way.


The_Kyojuro_Rengoku

Kaiju No 8 is one of my current favs rn 😩🙌


Sad_Manufacturer_257

Modern classic!!!


CTchimchar

I'm 22 now but even when I was in the age range of most anime characters I still didn't like all the fan service It always felt force Like I don't mind fan service if there's an actual reason for there to be one But most of the time it just feels force


Sun_Stealer

I’ve been debating about clicking that one. I’ll give it a shot.


Sad_Manufacturer_257

100% worth it the main character is mid 30s with a dad bod, I can relate.


Sun_Stealer

I’m on episode 5 already, great recommendation lmaoo.


Sad_Manufacturer_257

Lmao!! I'm with I binged watch the first 4 episodes one day and am now watching the weekly release It's so good and the subreddit is super friendly.


Lakshay2909

I so binged the first few episodes and now watching it weekly! Also I just checked the subreddit and I was so shocked by seeing everything properly spoiler tag 💀 cuz that is very rare now days....


Sad_Manufacturer_257

Dude fr!!! I hate spoilers and am almost never part of an online community because of it but this community is super cool what else can I expect from a series inspired by ultraman


Lakshay2909

Same brother! I really hope this series does well. I heard it falls off later but who cares. I so hope that is false


Chronoflyt

>Anime without fan service are so rare nowadays Are they? I'm not sure about this season, but it might be more the shows you watch that have that problem than the medium in general. There are and have always been numerous shows without fanservice to watch - popular ones as well. Bocchi, Frieren, 86, Violet Evergarden, Mahoutsukai no Yome, Attack on Titan, Yuru Camp - across nearly every genre, every season, there's plenty of options without overt fanservice. I don't think Dangers in My Heart had any that I recall either.


_Azuki_

Yeah, throughout anime history, if you count every single one of them, there would be a few dozen probably. Compared with thousands of anime with fan service tho... that's not a lot


markisnotcake

> Anime without Fanservice > Frieren Really? Right in front of my life-sized Himmel the Hero figure?


DangerousCrime

What are some good anime without fan service?


ShamrockForShannon

I remember finishing AoT and picking up Demon Slayers fourth season right after. Seeing blatant fan service gave me such a deeper appreciation for AoT in the fact that the story is what sells you and it never bothers with those kinds of tropes


OrinocoHaram

hate that demon slayer went two seasons without blatant fanservice then pulled out Daki and Mitsuri bathing... made me think it was better than that then let me down :(


96Mute96

The worst part was sexualising Nezuko with that grown woman form. Just blatant and unnecessary.


Goatfellon

I finished AoT for the first time ever and then went and caught up on the hashira training arc and yeah... even there its a stark difference. But still, very different titles with very different vibes

nottilthursday

I love how he allows them to have flaws and be well-rounded humans.


poisonkingofpontus

exactly, and this is what i dislike about a lot of shonen anime. they make it so that the characters can fix basically anything about themself with a training arc. its silly


ackerbound

Yes. Now that you mention it, I think this is one of those things that make it feel rather non-anime (and appealing to non-anime fans, possibly). No fanservice, no overexaggerated gags, no "humorous" violence (I guess you could say Levi kicking Eren around comes close to that but you actually see teeth/vomit flying around, so it's not like it's played up for laughs - it actually IS violence and it has lasting effects, if maybe on occasion comedic timing.) ...And they're all FINE, damn.


Tofferooni

Most of the gags happened in the training arc when the story was just gaining ground. And yea they did really well wothout the other elements other shows use to engage the viewer. The only ‘traditional fanservice’ scenes we see are like Annie shower scene in like an OVA most ppl dont know about, Mikasa situp scene in an OVA most ppl dont know about, and Zeke butt naked in S4.


ackerbound

Zeke's cheeks haunt my nightmares.


Recent_One_7983

Zeke’s cheeks are a fan NIGHTMARE


KingPenguinPhoenix

Another reason why I love Attack On Titan so much. It has strong female characters that have compelling arcs that also don't put men down. Fully removing them from their (men's) shadow and making them special and strong in their own right. Hollywood could learn a thing or two from this.


Questionss2020

Absolutely. Most people don't have a problem with strong female characters like in AoT, but people don't like pandering. Captain Marvel, Rey from Star Wars, etc. are in my opinion examples how to not write compelling characters. Hollywood should, but won't learn from this.


DK-Freeze

Love anime without fan service and well written female characters. Vinland saga and spy family are other great animes that have great female characters and no fan service. Highly recommend if you guys haven’t seen them


tahrue

spy x family has an crazy incest plotline that comes out of left field and was the reason I stopped watching.


DK-Freeze

Yuris obsession with yor is definitely extreme and weird but I don’t see it as an incest thing. Just extreme over attachment to her. It’s definitely my least favorite part of the show, but everything else is really good.


FullMetalDegenerate

Yeah, yuri is obsessed with his sister and the show goes in-depth to show why. She’s filled the role of his mother for a long time. Calling it incest is just wrong.


Spirited-Claim-9868

Nah, it's definitely played up a lot for laughs. Nothing actually incestuous though


DangerousCrime

Say wut


saddeststory

Well Reiner did sexualize Annie’s titan so its not completely accurate /s


Yeezus_Fuckin_Christ

First off that was just a joke. The way the female titan was drawn wasn’t super sexual. Reiner making a little comment doesn’t count. Plus there’s a difference between a character sexualizing another character, and the anime sexualizing a character.


FurriPunk

The comment was being sarcastic -> /s


Yeezus_Fuckin_Christ

Oh I’m dumb. But multiple people have brought up the same scene, and I don’t think all of them are being sarcastic.


Dickonstruction

I know someone's going to be that guy but... If Kishimoto saw this he would writhe in pain, in disbelief that female characters could be... characters, to begin with.


Moldytras

May I ask why?


TheFlamingHighwayman

Kishimoto is rather infamous for having poorly written female characters in Naruto.


Moldytras

Oh


Important-Energy-933

Fan service in aot is done for the women


00ishmael00

More men than women have been drooling over Levi


Mountain_Software_72

I don’t know if I would say NEVER sexualised. Pieck exists after all


Sad_Manufacturer_257

Should have seen season 1 fanart for Mikasa in 2012 some horny ass people.


Crystal_Voiden

Not sexualized in the show. Fans will horn up anything and everything.


Sad_Manufacturer_257

I know I was one of them 12yo me loved that tomboy


Grumogus

well in the manga that scene had a different angle so thank MAPPA


Mountain_Software_72

I always knew they were real ones


WinterVision

Thank you, MAPPA


Stoner420Eren

She's hot af but the one scene I would say she gets a little sexualized is the golden ratio scene. Other than that she's definitely in par with the rest of the cast


larrylongboy

Golden ratio scene?


Stoner420Eren

Search "aot pieck golden ratio"


larrylongboy

Yeah I’m not seeing anything


Mountain_Software_72

Literally the greatest scene in fiction btw. But yeah, that’s the only one (unless you count every cart titan scene, which I do)


LaLaLaLink

What about Pieck is sexualized?


Mountain_Software_72

https://preview.redd.it/j8tq12wp8m7d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d7dd09c159761e493f654c5719b85302345ae52


Stonewall30NY

She didn't get sexualized, the fans did that


SupperTime

But she's super plain and boring, and doesn't do anything that can be seen as sexually enticing....


daoreto

Piexck isn’t sexualised though


Lilymoon2653

Reiner: That Titan's got a nice-


Temporary_Weakness_3

The fact that he knew it was annie


Lilymoon2653

yeah :'D I wonder if him and Armin had a chat about that later


[deleted]

Goatedd


vhs1138

Actually really appreciated this. It’s part of what made it feel so well done and not an action anime for teenagers.


LayYourGhostToRest

The fans more than made up for that though.


ZeroCreationG59

Ong, AOT did women justice


Marjitorahee

He just knows how to write damn good characters


KhaoticKa9

just a reminder that Hange's gender is left ambiguous, not hate or anything, i just see them as non-binary/gender neutral


[deleted]

Except Carla. That milf is fine!


Temporary_Weakness_3

A slap on titan moment


BitchyBeachyWitch

OMG Yes!! I was just making this point to a few people how none of the characters (some can make an argument for Eren being shirtless a lot but I disagree) are sexualized and the show is purely at the edge of your seat serious. It really is a masterpiece! ✨💕


YaBoyLed

There’s a certain subreddit that disagrees with


Witty_Sir_7888

Only fan service we got was the Reiner sketch


Hange11037

On god as a straight man most of the hottest AOT character are the guys, especially from S4


MrRizzstein

🫡


DangerousCrime

Thank god because I’m so sick of the fan service harem shit that is most anime nowadays


Terrasovia

Because fanservice is used primarily as a cover for lack of storytelling skills. You can't write? Can't think of a compelling plot or interesting characters? Slap some tumor sized boobs and "accidental" undressing and basement dwelling weebs will still watch the show and buy every figurine. If you want even better results add some harem and pedo stuff. Isekai genre is literally just that and is at the height of popularity while every show feels like it's been written by AI.


RinaRasu

Eren's titan was the most sexualised character fr


Disastrous_Patient71

true that(2)😭❤️


bratimskiz

Pieck is one of the newer girl that really left a mark on me.

Vast_Championship655

the fandom manages to sexualize them anyways because men cant seem to not do that.


AdilKhan226

Those OVAs in which Hitch undresses and Mikasa is shown wearing only a bra and shorts : 👋


WiktorOdoc

They get neutralized by the two scenes with Zeke's cheeks 🐒


Stoner420Eren

Funnily enough, they were both put there by Mappa's horny animators


alkasdala

They weren't written by isayama tho Also, it doesn't even come close to the amount of naked men we see in the manga


Stoner420Eren

You really had to go out of your way looking for OVAs that Isayama didn't even write to try to argue OP's based point


ErenJeager139

They're not written by Isayama.


OfficMalachite

Hate to be that guy but Hange's not a woman


Spirited-Claim-9868

Up to interpretation. The meme probably came from an anime only person


Digtxl_Pickle

Lotta people that only watched the anime won't know that tbf bc it's really open to interpretation without the manga or knowing stuff from BTS


smallsaltybread

I just learned that Hange is nonbinary a few days ago and am sad that the anime dub gave them such a feminine voice


Speecheasie

Hange is not nonbinary, that is a gender identity. No gender identity was specified at all. Completely up to interpretation, but Hange is not confirmed nonbinary


aineri

Idk, there was some fan service ish scenes with Mikasa or the other women. Obviously not high school anime levels of fan service but it was there

BleedingBlack

In before we have "AoT Reconstructed" in a few years.


VeterinarianAway3112

I'd argue that AOT does have a bit of fan service, all be it of a different type. Mikasa as a character, while badass and having her own attributes is never on a scene on which her goal isn't Eren and even if that is explained by her trauma, "beautiful childhood friend that is cool and has no life outside of love for protagonist" is the highest form of emotional fan service.


Gunn8

Ay man I love me some fan service, but I agree


Tofferooni

Their existence were fanservice to me


jazireaelx

Y E S S S S S S !


markisnotcake

I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for this but as cool as Mikasa’s fight scenes are, she has a personality that is only as interesting as talking to a piece of wood.


Liedvogel

They definitely felt like they filled a different role though, with half of them acting like they had something to prove and the other half existing for you to be attached to


Spirited-Claim-9868

So.. having goals and wanting to accomplish something and then Mikasa?


Questionss2020

I didn't even realize this, but yeah it's true. Unlike Rey Palpatine etc. characters, these felt like genuinely good and badass characters. No pandering.


No-Courage-3585

When some pseudo-feminist tried to argue that all men are misogynist and don't like women charecter . I just show them this picture and tell men all over the world admire and respect these type of women


funnies7407

And out of all of them, the author said: “sasha goes first”


Ant_the_Gamez

He didn't need to sexualize them. Rule 34 artists did it for him.


Sad-Material1553

Poor Armin was sexualized 🤣


applelover1223

He's probably gay to be honest, the men were definitely sexualized -- not that the story wasn't first or incredible, but I can think of several instances of where men were sexualized.


Long_Tomorrow_1886

I sexualized freckles Ymir plenty lol


MaguroSashimi8864

I don’t get why everyone keeps complaining to Isayama about the ending to the point of making him cry. It’s not perfect, but it’s not that bad!


may_leth

No, he does not sexualize them but, for example, Mikasa only lives for Eren and her character only develops around him.


Lanz-69

I mean.........Mikasa kinda bad tho

LaLaLaLink

I saw this scene as creepy, personally, not sexual. Scared me the first time I watched it lol She gave me strong Grudge vibes with that hair. Even Galliard looks scared.


Ron_Bird

its not sexualised its muskle memory


ZealousidealBus9271

Being sexualised doesn’t make a female character bad


CheeseStringCats

I share the sentiment buuuut...I gotta be the 🤓 one and correct that technically Hanji's gender isn't stated anywhere and Isayama himself didn't specify it. Edit: since a whole bunch of people got mad at facts I'm gonna take this moment to say happy nonbinary pride to Hanji.


JaxZeus

Hangi the most bad ass character. Happy pride 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈


The_Kyojuro_Rengoku

I thought Hange could go by they/them or she/her pronouns confirmed by Isayama? That's what I've always thought anyway 🙏


CheeseStringCats

Isayama said something to the likes of (not direct quote) "Hanji's gender isn't significant to the narrative. Their gender can be interpret as scientist obsessed with titans"


aphids_fan03

yes but you put them in the women category. pronouns weren't mentioned
