The biggest problem with AoT is that it got an anime way too early alright but not for FT reasons per se. For anime-only fans it is fine, but fans that start the manga because of it don't get what they seek. It is still "young" as an otaku friend of mine put it. So much still left unexplained and probably won't be for a few years. It has massive conspiracy but it is still a brutal action shounen. FT is less complicated when you look at it despite the unexplained stuff. With FT we vaguely know it will get explained at a particular point but with SnK it can get dragged on for a very long time. The current arc is evidence enough that they don't necessarily need to finish things while they are at the age they currently are since focus shifts severely for plot relevancy.
