      Oh, I figured the tropes you listed would be tropes that appear in aot. Considering this post and even our very discussion is about that specific show.

        Eh, no. I addressed general state of affairs in anime/manga.

        When I began to watch AOT and saw the guy who gets swallowed by Titan, but then somehow managed to control it, I had a flashback of Ikari Shinji from Evangelion and I seriously dislike the way this little brat was depicted. It was long years ago, so I may be wrong about details, but that’s how I felt back then.

        But like I said: i have little problem naming some titles I enjoyed in spite of recognizing the tropes they featured.

          Fair enough. If you ever give it another chance though, I promise it’s worth it. The way Eren progresses and where he ends up as a character is very, very rarely done in anime.

          I’m also surprised you’d bring up Evangelion in a discussion of overused tropes. That’s another show that takes a pretty bizarre turn and ends up going places that few other shows ever even attempt to.

            Thanks, but I have truckload of other titles to watch… eventually. I have plenty of free time, but it’s more “chunks of time” than hours I could dedicate to watch something longer.
