User blog:Winston4278/A Brief Introduction: How did I get into Attack on Titan?

Like many people who are fans of Attack on Titan, my first introduction to the series was with the anime back when it first premiered in 2013. After finishing the first season, I thought the structure was decent but I didn't give it too much thought after that; I figured it was just another average anime series. The long wait between the season 1 finale and the second season helped contribute to my average feelings about it as a whole.

Eventually I got the opportunity to meet several of the voice actors of the English dub, including Lauren Landa (Annie). When I met Lauren at Fanime 2017, I mentioned that I thought the series was pretty decent but it felt like something was missing. She told me to give the series another chance since it was really going to pick up with Season 2. I got her autograph and told her that I definitely would. Boy, am I glad I did; the second season surpassed the first in every way and that resulted in me checking out the manga series as well. I soaked up the manga like a sponge and, despite part of the 'Uprising arc' stretching longer into the politics area than I thought it should, the story turned out to be one of the better ones I've read in awhile. Now every month I anxiously look forward to see what direction the story will go next.

So thank you Lauren Landa for convincing me to give this amazing series one more chance!
