Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan is a dark fantasy anime, and the dark part of the series is reflected by the indefinite gory moments and scenes that have been included in the storyline since the beginning. Attack on Titan is famous for its gruesome scenes, and despite being a shonen manga, fans love the brutality of it.
Isayama’s love for dark and violent genres is perfectly visible in his creations. He even loves other series that are based on such themes. He has confessed to his love for Game of Thrones multiple times, and recently, he was asked for his professional opinion on the prequel of the series, House of the Dragon.
The manga creator, while talking about the series, shared an incident where he was watching the finale of Game of Thrones with his wife, and she got mad at him because of the brutality and violence in the story.
Hajime Isayama Shares His Opinion About House of the Dragon
In an interview with Crunchyroll during the Anime New York Convention last year, Attack on Titan’s creator was asked about what he thought of the popular HBO prequel series, House of the Dragon, as he is a Game of Thrones fan and has used it as inspiration for his own masterpiece. Isayama’s opinion about the series was quite positive.
He stated:
“I watched all of the first season and really enjoyed it. Even compared to the first season of the original Game of Thrones, it was well done. I like Aemond Targaryan. I think that character’s face looks really good as an actor.”
Isayama compared the series to the first season of Game of Thrones and found it enjoyable. He preferred the character of Prince Aemond Targaryen, the second son of King Viserys I Targaryen. He mentioned that the actor who plays the role has a very good face, and overall, the series was well done.
Hajime Isayama’s Wife Got Mad At Him Because of Game of Thrones
While talking about House of the Dragon, Hajime Isayama was asked about Game of Thrones and what he thought about the controversial final season of the series. Isayama shared an incident with his wife where she got mad at him because of the gore scenes in the series. Evidently, Isayama’s wife is not too keen on violence and brutality.
Isayama stated:
“I was watching it with my wife and she’s not really about the gore scenes, so she was looking away. And so she asked ‘Oh, what happened? [I said] ‘Oh, you didn’t watch it? Here, let me rewind it for you!’. She got really mad at me.”
Isyama explained that he watched the final season with his wife, and because she does not like gore scenes, she was looking away but was still interested in the story. As she was looking away, she missed an interesting scene and asked about it from his husband, who replayed the scene for her. Because of this, she got mad at him.
Isayama’s wife hating brutality and gore is truly ironic, as the creator is known all over the anime and manga world for creating some of the most violent scenes in history for Attack on Titan.
You can watch Attack on Titan on Crunchyroll and House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones on HBO Max.
