It's my favorite anime. Season 3 was fantastic.

I've been watching anime on and off since 1998 and, no, I don't think it's the best anime. It's a fine one, but not the best far from it.

The 3 Berserk Movies

The Egg of the King

The Battle for Doldrey

The Advent

It's good. Better than Kara no Kyoukai, Chihayafuru, Monster, Welcome to the NHK, Houseki no Kuni, or, honestly, quite a few others? I don't think so.

But implying that a My Anime popularity list means much of anything? Come on.

YESSSSS!!

Season 3 Part 2 JUST SEALED THE DEAL!
Every Episode was HYPE!!! The way they drop every info we wanted since season 1 was EPIC!
The battle scene was EPIC!
This is imo is the BEST ANIME SERIES! Almost 60 episodes and it is still making me think of a bunch of theories on what is going to happen!

its a great anime but to me monster is still one of the best anime out there.

Well my question was is it one OF the best animes ever and it certainly is especially now there is no debating that.. and it may be the best ever for me but i said IMO.

Well i may haven't been watching anime since 98 but i sure did watch a lot of them and i don't think anything comes close to the rich story mysterious story,the epic reveals and the mind blowing details of AOT. 

You all should really watch season 3 and you will see why i and everybody else think all this now. 

Only watched the first season and was very hyped at the beginning but it wore off about half way through the season. I didn't like the direction it took. Dunno if I will bother with the other seasons.

As i said it's at least ONE OF the best today and there is no debating that. But i don't get what you are trying to say here.. so an anime that's very highly rated on my anime list and has very high rated episodes on IMDB of the latest season (a site that's not even an anime site) including one ep that's a pure 10 based on more than 20k votes means absolutely nothing ?? But some a bit more obscure animes that no one watched are good cause they are not popular is that what you are trying to say ? :D so less votes from people all around the world mean more and more mean less ? i guess Breaking Bad isn't one of the best tv show's ever then.

And i don't get why you said popularity list because the days of through the roof hype of season 1 and are long gone.. the mega popularity of AOT has died down these aren't some casual mainstreamers rating the show, i think the people are finally acknowledging it as an amazing show thanks to season 3 and it's only gonna get better with the final season.

Also i love Monster it's one of my favs.. i'm actually rewatching it right now but it has it's flaws and i would never put it above AOT mainly because of the snail pacing and it should have been a bit shorter.

Hell yeahhh Season 3 part 2 is exactly what inspired me to make this thread and see other people opinions but it looks like a lot of people here still view AOT as some overhyped show.

You should definitely give it another shot if you have the time ! and when you get to the end of Season 3 part 2 you will be glad you watched it.

Also what didn't you like in particular about the direction it took half way through ?
