WARNING! THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT BIG BROTHER 28! The inaugural Power of Veto ceremony of Big Brother 28 has unfolded with intriguing...
While renowned for its intense drama and abundant gore, Attack on Titan also stands out due to its sharp storyboards and exceptional animation that make its action sequences a highlight. Although many view AOT as a near-perfect example of an action anime, it is not without its flaws, particularly evident in the latter half of the story, paving the way for several other series to outshine it.
Perhaps the broader scope of the seinen audience allowed Parasyte to more deeply explore the psychological dimensions within the action genre—an exploration Attack on Titan had to temper due to its focus on the shonen demographic's limitations.
Seven accepts his deeds, and rather than losing his sanity, he embarks on a journey to right the wrongs. What differentiates Scissor Seven from Attack on Titan is its ability to make viewers laugh with its offbeat humor even during the most tense situations.
On top of everything else, Scissor Seven doesn’t bind itself to any weapon or power system. Every fight in Scissor Seven is different, thanks to its gravitation towards martial arts, providing it with countless possibilities for portraying combat.

While both are known for their gore, Chainsaw Man and Attack on Titan are completely different in their approach to action. In AOT, Eren Yeager is driven by his higher calling, an idealistic endeavor for the sake of humanity, or at least so it seemed.
Chainsaw Man’s Denji has no such moral mission. He’s completing dangerous tasks simply to secure three meals a day, a roof on his head, and a bit of affection. Despite being a shonen anime like AOT, Chainsaw Man’s writing and presentation feel way more liberating than the former, which is ironic considering AOT is all about liberation.
What makes Chainsaw Man a better action anime than AOT is its barbaric action sequences, witty character writing, and unpredictable storytelling. They all give it a refreshing feel compared to anything in the shonen landscape.
Thankfully, that's not the case with JJK, as the masterpiece action anime is known for its conclusive ending. Regardless of who wins a fight, JJK always makes sure to address the thematic issue at hand, which makes it easier for the viewers to understand the characters on a deeper level.
Compared to Attack on Titan, Saga of Tanya the Evil dives even deeper into the tactics and know-hows of war and militarism. It’s Tanya’s tenaciousness and bravery on the battlefield that bring this masterpiece action anime to life.
Unlike Eren, Tanya never loses her sense of purpose. Even though their approaches might seem similar, Tanya still holds onto her set of morals, despite manipulating her way to the top using her silver tongue. Tanya isn’t a hero, anti-hero, or a villain; she is simply there to fulfill her objectives.
