Finished with Attack on Titan. It is obviously shounen but good kind, it attempts to be like seinen manga/anime but isn't deep enough. Still it is really good anime, faithful to manga (yes I'm reading manga as well). Great animation, epic story, interesting characters. Will be even better in season 2 methinks but we'll have to wait a little longer (they postponed it a bit, originally it should be available in few months). Still have OVA to check but I kinda hate OVA...
What I dislike the most about AoT isn't directly related to manga or anime. Hate how popular it is. Great show indeed but people are so fucking stupid if they think this is best manga/anime in past five years or so.
Now to say something about these shows which share similar character. Last two I watched have practically the same type of character. Kaneki/Eren are your typical characters which become chosen one. Same goes for Sidonia no Kishi protagonist, he's also hero type. I'm kinda tired of it. Can't wait for some studio to pick up I am a Hero. That's proper manga with realistic, believable character who never becomes true hero with superpowers and shit like that.
Another thing, can Japanese please stop making action movies based on manga/anime?
