>Japanese fans love the ending>Western fans hated itwhy is there such a difference?
>>287196069It's the bell curve meme, Japan has an higher average IQ, but they all tend to be midwitsWestern fans tend to be either troglodytes (haha eren cuck haha) or smarter than the average jap (it's a thematic mess and the writer had genuinely no idea how to end the conflict in a good way so he started winging it).
Westoids didn't care about the plot and just wanted an edgy genocide anime. They got filtered. Anyone who complains about the ending, filtered. You watched 40 hours worth of content and were too stupid to understand it.
>>287196069I just finished reading it other than thinking Eren's character got a little assassination during his talk with Armin and feeling like Hange's heroic sacrifice was somewhat completely pointless I thought it was a fairly poignant way to go out showcasing the cyclical struggle of war and violence
>>287196069>>Japanese fans love the ending
>>287196650Not OP, but I recently watched making of the final chapter. All the Japs in the comments were crying about how westerners cannot read between the lines and understand subtlety that makes them hate the ending.
>>287196069casuals liked it no matter the country. same happened with bnha. same will happen with jjk and csm
>>287196764No, the csm ending is too suddenIt's genuinely just in the middle of the fight suddendly the series ends time resets goodbyeNot even normalfags will accept that
>>287196069>Japanese fans hated the ending.>Western fans hated the ending.>Cucks loved it.Why is there such a difference?
>>287196069Japs are big into cuckoldry
>>287196650wikipe, my beloved
>>287196069
>>287196069Most western fans liked it too, go look at the finale's score on MAL. Only /a/ and other neckbeards seethed about it because their meticulously thought out predictions / crackships ended up not coming true.
>>287197839>mal
>>287197888That's a reflection of what normalfags think about something. OP claimed "western fans" hated it and that's overwhelmingly false
>>287196069It's almost like AOT was written by a guy from a completelly different culture with a foreign perspective on historical processes, morals and storytelling conventions.
>>287197963Is it though? The last episode of lost is a 9.1 on imdb but normies fucking despised it, arguably unjustly but still a site rating doesn't necessarily dictate popular opinion.
>>287196069Japan also loves Rent a Girlfriend. It's an island of cuckolds.
>>287198328Most people just consume the anime and continue with another while leaving the old one behind. That's with every medium, most just lack the capacity and/or will to criticise the story. The actual discourse is always carried by a small minority (10-20% of the viewers) and their interpretation, even when they lean towards the normie-side can be radically different from the absolute consumercattle. In AOT's case, it was heavily criticised by the active people, not just by chuds and shippers, but also others who were amused/disappointed by the terrible dialogue, character assassination, the overall change in premise (the switch from the multilayered conflict between people to a marvel-tier save humanity from a world-ending threat), the ridiculous plot armor and so on. Even in Japan there seems to have been a proper amount of criticism, the ending changed some dialogue lines, though they were insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
>>287198328IMDB ratings are bullshit, rottentomatoes is closer to the truth
>>287198496Mal seems more analogous to imdb to me tho.
>>287198735No anime studios are bribing MAL to pump their numbers unlike IMDB.....aside from Solo Leveling using bots
>>287198851All the sites listed do that, the thing that makes imdb numbers bloated is factionalism which is rampant on all old rating sites lol.
>>287198851imbd numbers arent that high, no one gives a fuck about that website except tiktok corona anime fans.and mal is full of chinese bots, they rate-bombed chihayafuru (one of the only good series that was at the mal top) because the author talked about taiwan. the top is full of dogshit chinese cartoons
>>287196069Normalfags don't care about inconsistencies or sudden changes in narrative. They saw a cool fight with le epic music and some emotional scenes sprinkled on top. That's enough for them to rate it 10/10 and move on.
>>287196069i think its two kinds of cultural toleranceobjectively, the ending has flaws, but i imagine the japs think on more of a bigger picture and liked the ride for what it was and the ending for what it meant so they are not wasting time making a big fuss about it cause they dont bother being that cynical, that mentality is common among people who liked the ending in the west toowestern reception was a big circlejerk of memes and shitposting and making a big narrative about it, lots of bad faith arguments and expectations on how the characters should be like THEY wanted it to be and some genuine criticism here and there
>>287199605Apparently kbots and chinkbots aren't just for pumping up their slop huh?They really need to add a rating weight system.
The Japanese audience is all fujoshis obsessed with the bishounens instead of the plot
>>287196069The fact that most people even now on this site think the ending at worst is just 'flawed' is baffling.>The plot armour>Zeke throwing away his entire worldview because a stranger told him he enjoys things (he never thought about babies first argument against nihilism)>Zeke dying stopping the rumbling instantly (Ymir ignored royal blood for Eren and even still simply touching the smiling titan gave eren several minutes of non contact command)>The necro kiss>Eren going from someone with a clear motive he contemplated for over 4 years turning into 'I did the thing I told pixis was stupid, it was just for my friends even though I got some killed, actually it was because fate, actually because I don't know, actually because I'm an idiot woops.>introduce story breaking time mechanics just to have the only use of it be Eren killed his fucking mom and through inaction allowed every titan death ever across the show because eren fucking yeager would fold to a fate that literally has to bend to his will but for some reason is him living an actual hell and accepting it lol.>Ymir loving Karl fritz and needing to see someone go against who they love to be freed being paradoxical given her entering the paths was because she did that very thing. >Crying over a woman he never treated romantically and if anything through rewatch had no chemistry with and was consistently annoyed by>The worm got one shotted off screen>Annie gets to reunite with her abusive dad while every scout she crushed salutes levi for dooming their island (most scouts joined out of hatred for the titans)>Historia and her baby really had nothing to do with the story and she really was side-lined>Eren leaves his friends with still a million to one population odds, a vengeful world full of new erens and a island ran by people named after the man who killed 80% of the globe. good luck.>Paradise gets obliterated from the outside world justifying full genocide. I could go on
>>287196069>Japanese fans love the endingcitation needed.
>>287196069we aren't cucks
Elevens have shit taste.Only retards read this series.
>>287199790Yes, like 70% of the explanation is just this
>>287202367>The Ymir love plot appears out of the blue with nothing in the story indicating this beforehand>The worm is heavily implied to have been revived or reborn at the end of the series.
>>287196069Keep in mind they also enjoy Rent a Girlfriend without a hint of irony. JP can create great content but their average audience has the most dog shit taste imaginable, it’s wild.
>>287202367>picKEK
>>287196811Chainsawman ending is genuinely good unlike Attack on Shit and Jujutsu Shitzen. Let’s not forget my hero shit academia. Nah fuck the cuck anime. Chainsawman was based and true.
>>287196069Cultural differences I guess.
>>287197839When was the last time you heard a normalfag in your life even mention SnK? It doesn't matter what rating they gave it in the heat of the moment, their revealed preference is shown by how quickly and deeply they buried the entire series in the memory hole, never to be talked about again.
>>287201246What bishounens? Every SnK character is a hideous-looking freak. Hackayama can't draw.
>>287203439>Chainsawman ending is genuinely goodFuck you, go fuck yourself, kill yourself, etc etc
>>287196069Nips have no taste. This has been long known.
Was the government holding a gun to Isayama's head for it being too pro nationalist? The switch at the end is just so strange...
>>287205839Cry harder cuck I will fuck your woman!!! Attack on Titan is for cucks! Chainsawman is based!
revi my friend
>>287196711>Japs lecturing anyone about subtlety
>>287196069Westerners are genuinely retarded and full of delusions. The ending was great. If you claim to be a real fan who read along the manga publishing you should know that this was what it was culminating in.
>>287207293Sorry, /a/ still isn't ready for that conversation
>>287197494>Japanese fans >Western fans>Cucks Those are all the same things.
>>287196069for Japanese its awesome when MC ends up as wagecuck
>>287196069I got halfway through season 4 before I gave up and dropped it cause I was just so bored. huge downfall from the ending sequence of season 3 being one of the most kino battles Ive ever witnessed. I think once the mystery and mystique of the titans was gone and it was just humans vs humans it really lost its luster
>>287207931also zeke and eren seemingly changing their personality completely didnt help
>>287196069>Ends with the main character getting cuckd to death>Nips loved it Wow
