I find it hilarious that you refuse to watch AOT while your favourite anime is AgK.
They are very similar
One of my favourite anime series is AgK...
Is it really similar?
I think the main reason I don't want to watch AOT is because of how popular it is
I think before dismissing popular anime you need to actually watch a few, I mean, not all popular anime are terrible, it's just that most of them are empty with no character depths but contain some flashy stuffs that people find entertaining as fuck(like harem, fan service, overpower people, action with incredible situation where the MC overcome something impossible, like SAO), those animes will have an impact on people who haven't seen a lot, because, for them, they are original and it's the best thing they've seen yet due to inexperience. Other had unique concept, still exploiting stuffs people want to see, that's what rendered them popular but they are actually good despite all of it, some examples would be: Steins;Gate, Clannad, Mononoke hime, Monster, Death note. I personally even think people new to anime should still watch those, of course, at first, they will find them incredible and such but after watching 200 or more animes, they'll discover that, it wasn't so good after all but will still have this experience. Let's say AOT, I think if you enjoyed AGK, you will love it, it's really similar, plus the animation and music from AOT is totally mind blowing, which was the main aspect I gave I think 7 to it(which I overrated it imo). I think before dismissing all popular anime, watch some, it'll be hard for you to watch only the most underground one, the most popular one, lacks a lot of elements but are easier of access which will allow you to appreciate anime more, to open yourself to it, then you will be able to watch animes that would have looks pale and boring at first and discover why they are really genuine, unique and beautiful in reality. You only develop a taste for unique animes after having watched a lot.
