Agree with the others , but i’d recommed to the watch the first part of the last season too (and then for completism the last season, but be ready for something bad…and the anime even fixed some od the problems too)
But i’d also recommed you to read the manga, there are some parts that i like more in the manga rather than the anime, and also some changes and scenes that were important and got removed (the first half of season 3 is very different in the anime for example) and some part are unironically better drawn.


Little complain about the game adaptation, i really really dislike the OST and found them really really boring.
But my opinion might’ve been poisoned from how majestic the OSTs of the anime are. A pity they didn’t use them in the game.

He “noticed” that if you take 20th century European history, flip the map upside down, and crank the propaganda to 11 you get instant grimdark worldbuilding.

It’s not some /pol/ revelation, it’s pretty on‑the‑nose parallels to diaspora, ghettoization, imperial guilt, and how fear narratives justify preemptive genocide. The whole point is that *everyone* thinks they’re the righteous victim while planning mass murder.

Isayama wasn’t winking at anything mysterious, he was basically speedrunning “what if historical ethnic conflict but with flesh mechas.”

play the 2nd one if you havent it's a lot better. Give the show a watch because despite /a/ getting filtered by a single bad bit of dialogue during the ending it is actually a very good show, especially to begin with.

Incredible how this and “ending was fInE” is the only things you ending defenders can say .
>>
>>287883015
The final arc is genuinelly badly written. Even if you remove that line (which is what the anime did ) there is still a lot of asspulls and ruined characterization going all around.
It could’ve worked even in the way it ended, but it needed to be longer and better written instead of what we got.

Yes, in retrospect it would have been preferable if that wasn't actually "Ymir" but the alien parasite deceiving and manipulating Eren and the Fritz/Reiss family, but woe to Japan if they make a demon the villain of the story (thanks to Based Frieren for starting to put an end to this).

They put less focus on the whole mikasa fiasco and more into Eren himself being disgusted about the genocide.
They still had him pulling bullshits like “i did it because i’m dumb”, so was still bad in that regardless but at least the infamous “i don’t want that” and the more infamous “thanks for becoming a genocider for our sake” were changed

The ending is awful. The main character was turbo Hitler, but cucks out of his final solution and is portrait as an incel loser in his final moments, I'm not even joking thats how it goes play by play. It was the most based and redpilled media ever produced until the rumbling (final solution). My personal theory (and probably the truth because im enlightened and always right), is that he got The Call and was forced to change the ending or they would kill him and change it anyway, or they just killed and replaced him. Now watch me get banned by the tranny jannies for saying the truth.

Now that was just bullshit, I don't even care about EH but, come on, at the very least Isayama was heavily implying something happened between those two beyond just handholding sessions and future plans discussions.
Nevermind her getting dumped into background character space despite her getting an entire arc centered around her.

You still have get falco flying
And floch and the jaegerists being walking strawmen
And the alliance having tons of asspulls and plot armor
And reiner getting shafted
And historia getting shafted
And mikasa never developing as a character
And the worm
And ymir secretly being in love with her rapist and this being revealed without foreshadowing or character exploration

Yeah it would make the final talk more palatable, but only a full rewrite of the final arc and some bits of the previous arc would be able to fix the whole mess

I still think the sequence in S2 where Bert and Reinhardt transform on top of the wall is still the best scene I've ever seen in anime to this day. The sudden reveal, the music, the visuals, it doesn't get better than that. That being said, never watched anything after season 3 because of crappa.

Nothing Reiji has written has subverted expectations in the way Isayama did. Kazuya was a pathetic cuck from chapter 1 and any readers who were shocked by some of the stuff he wrote later just weren’t paying attention.

I liked the reveal. It was fun seeing Zeke's smug attempt to show Eren their Father was wrong get flipped on its head when Eren revealed he was the one telling his Father to do that shit.

I thought the ending was fine. Eren sold his soul for peace.

>>287906589
Character are supposed to grow and evolve across the story.
Same reason people disliked Denji being reduced into a retard.
Hell, eren was liked specifically because he was actually evolving as a character during the story, and him regressing into a retard to alongside the stupid lines in the last chapters is what soured most about him

How? Eren bitching out makes it better. It means he was a slave to fate just like his Father. The Attack Titan was in control the whole time and once there was no way the plan could get ruined Eren was allowed to voice how much he actually hated it.

Eren didn't want to kill his mom, Eren wanted to marry Mikasa and run away, he didn't want to fight his friends, he didn't want to die to fulfill some weird monsters plans. The reveal could have been expanded on better that Eren didn't want to do any of this but his mind was all fucked up because of the Attack Titan.
