Whenever it was that S1 hit Netflix. When S2 arrived years later, it barely even made a splash. No-one really cared.Also, the idea that Attack on Titan isn't escapist is pretty bloody wild mate. It's extremely escapist - it doesn't deal with any emotional realities or make people think about their own lives - ironically unlike a lot of more "brightly drawn" anime. Grimdark often is extremely escapist. 40K certainly is. There's zero real or relevant or meaningful or relatable about it.And you're talking anime? You think like, most kids today watch stuff like Attack on Titan, because mate, they don't. Attack on Titan was big with people in their 30s and 40s particularly, that's why you've heard of it. The stuff younger viewers are watching is a lot more interesting than that.</blockquote>
