Out of curiously where did it go bland for you?
It went to terrible when the whole business with Historia, and then after that it went from terrible to bland.
No, they really haven't. They've been underwhelming and disappointing. I'm not holding a grudge on the anime, I just have pretty much lost most of my interest in SnK. It's not really good anymore. Dressrosa wasn't horribly paced at all, and that arc alone was better than anything SnK has ever put out.Not enough Luffy x Nami in it for him.
Oh come on. It had that crappy pacing political arc for a year, but that is long gone. Outside of those 15ish chapters, the other 76 chapters have been amazing. Isayama even said he was sorry about that, and he would change how it was handled with the anime version of it. The manga is going hard right now. Holding a grudge on this anime for 1 year of horrible pacing is like being mad at One Piece for the horribly paced 2 year Dressrosa arc.
