The characters were whiny and lame to me, but other than that Attack on Titan was the best anime I've seen.
Wasnt a big fan of AoT. My fav so far has likely been Darker than Black or Code Geass. Been enjoying Season 2 of Sword Art Online a thousand times more than Season 1.
The action was pretty awesome but story was kinda meh. I found it humorous that they couldnt come up with a power more crative than summoning a giant sniper rifle from the air for the girl.
still pretty good though - way better than anime. Muv-Luv series probably takes around 200 hours to 100% complete too. But damn it was a good build up + climax on the last part visual novels that aren't nukige are generally that long though
