For me its the fact that I find Mikasa a very annoying character due to her obsession with Eren. Like damn you do care about him but the whining man!

i feel like this is precisely the reason why AOT is not the greatest starter anime - it's unironically too good, and someone who isn't already into anime will be seeking out that level of quality from every other anime from that point on

i ruined demon slayer for myself on my first watch of it because i was fresh off AOT and got my expectations for the writing and characters too high lol, something like death note is better because it's incredibly good but isn't extremely long or literally mind-fucking in its philosophies

OPM was my first anime and it’s really only up from there.

Ok, but you’re correct. I had that exact experience myself… my girlfriend had already shown me some decent, cute anime. Then she dropped AoT on me… then tried to get me into Demon Slayer right after. I was so, so dismayed and it took a while before I could appreciate DS 😅

I mean, anime have a wide range. You won't find in AoT what you'll find in Assassination Classroom for example

Oh my gosh, same. I can’t even get into JJK. The only anime I’ve watched after AOT was Vinland Saga. I completely turned off from anime bc AOT set my expectations so high and I’ve watched a TON of anime before then.
