| Aside from the premise, I didn't get Attack on Titan vibes at all from the 1st episode of the show. The only similarity was the post-apocalyptic premise, but that's been done a ton of times before in anime long before AoT came along. Attack on Titan just happens to be at the forefront of the anime fandoms consciousness right now. If anything, the animation, art and setting reminded me more of Darling in the Franxx. |

| I guess now someone will call it a reverse Digimon rip off or SAO rip off, or something like that...because brand recognition is more important than idea recognition. |
| Folks are far too much obsessed with Titans, team of main characters standing against humongous monsters is not that rare in anime. If I were to look for similar titles, then it'd be of Darling in the Franxx huge mobile fortress, equally big monsters, a faction leeching energy, aliens. Story wise I'd say it's also a spin on .hack and sao but in reverse where the software is using the real world as means of entertainment, |

Well, the short, in-universe explanation is probably that it's a pretty decent or even high-end job for one of the people living in the thing, seeing how she wasn't only excited, but when that happened people weren't at all surprised that she accomplished that. It'd imply she was a well performing student and got a good career out of that. We the audience probably see it as a shitty job, but they live in an impoverished human zoo inside of an entertainment resort and are none the wiser. So butchering and demolishing the remains of the animal creature things the guests at the resort hunted is probably a pretty nice station to be in, even if they're not aware they're in a resort. They're the ones going to the surface and being around all of that instead of scraping shit off of the side of the giant construct. Following that up with showing her bullying far less relevant and great MC girl in a very hatesink-y, stuck up way, surrounded by her lackeys, was probably to establish her as a villain that was supposed to be easy to root against. Mean to poor old MC girl, oh noes :( Then ya get your good 'ol THE SYSTEM in episode 2, which seems like a pretty focal point to the whole series thematically, where the alien robot things live in the network of a system that demands pretty extreme obedience and treats then as replaceable/disposable, and then MC robot dude sees MC girl as existing outside of the "system" in terms of her being recognized as "dead" and such - further reinforced by her wanting to be a soldier, which was established as something that the humans pretty much never got to do. This is prolly relevant to Linmei working hard within the established system (sure, she's unaware of the system like the rest of the humans, but she did better by it than most) and they're probably going to contrast that with MC girl somehow. I'd wager it was some kind of setup for something like that down the line, Linmei = representation of somebody working a dead end shit job that they think is great because of a system that they're largely ignorant about even existing, MC girl = OMG NOT SYSTEM HA HA. She's a hatesink alpha girl bully working in a capacity that's great for people who do exactly what the alien robot things want the humans to do and what's expected of them. They're probably going to use that to contrast her unfavorably to the MC girl later on. That's likely the thematic point of it. Not like it's meaningful or anything and I worry I made it sound like it's a lot deeper than it is, but y'know, I've been thinking about muh girl Linmei a lot man. This is girl of the season. Forget the show itself. I'm here for Linmei. |

| Second episode actually made me see the similitude to Attack on Titan in a sense that there's another world outside Natsume's world. |

I can only guess there is still a lot of things about how does this world works that we still don't know... For example, do every human that born in this world happen to be a "controled avatar"? if the "players" live for centuries, do they spent a whole life in the same human? do humans exist by they self and the players just take control of them at fights? With all that questions in the air we can't say if Linmei, as a human, wants to be a butcher, or if it is a player that wants it. I any case, I will assume it is a very well paid job, so she can have a good life (as a human) or buy enough oxi-whatever to live for some more centuries.. |
| No one said that it was an AoT rip-off, but that it was similar. Funny thing is that people assumed that people were thinking it was a rip-off when they weren't, but now some are calling it a rip-off because of that... Confusing right? Human psyche is weird. Oh gathered this from MAL episode 1 discussion thread, since OP is posting a source too lol |
| This is my first time reading that people were comparing it AoT. I don't really see the similarities? It's not as dark or as good as AoT tbh. |
| 臭い- |

No, not all the "humans" are controlled avatars - only the Gears, who fight the Gadoll, are. As episode 2 mentions, the Tankers are real humans, "an endangered species". However, even the real humans have chips implanted in them by the Solid Quake corporation (apparently), seemingly to control them. The one exception is Natsume, putting her in a unique position to potentially change the status quo. |
