Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season - Kanketsu-hen

In the wake of Eren Yeager's cataclysmic actions, his friends and former enemies form an alliance against his genocidal rampage. Though once bitter foes, Armin Arlert, Mikasa Ackerman, and the remaining members of the Scout Regiment join forces with Reiner Braun and the survivors of the Marleyan military. Their meager united front sets out on a mission to stop Eren's wrath and—if possible—save their old comrade in the process.

As Eren pushes forward at any cost, he battles his own internal turmoil. Although he feels immense remorse over his horrific invasion, Eren believes he harbors noble intentions: he believes the path ahead is the only way to save his friends and, to a greater extent, his people.

The opposing battalions spiral toward an inevitable final clash that may claim the lives of millions. Though they face an army of monsters beyond anything they could have previously imagined, Mikasa, Armin, and their allies stand brave in the face of certain doom.

GOAT. I would end there if i could but this site dont allow it. Where to start and where to end with this show. Its been a wild ride.

Remember seeing footsce of this show long time ago for the first time with giant naked men with nothing between their legs running around like idiots. Never did i think that the story would turn into this epic. Its everything.. action is incredible. Theres a thrill seeing them go up against different titans no show can match. Much thanks to the incredible music also.

Great characters. No fanservice. Mature writing. No quirky Shounen humor. Its dark. ... Serious. At all times. No fillers. Everything thst happens feels important. It never slowd down unlike allother 100 episode animes ive watched

Its themes. War. Society. Politics. History. Discrimination. Its so well made. So brutal. It doesnt shy away from anything. While not moralizing.

Animation is great. Facial expression especially. Noone has done that part better in any anime ive seen. The dread. Horror. Desperation. Resignation. You can feel it through the screen.

Already touched upon it. Music. Theres no greater. Sawano is king. And has done so much great music. But AoT is his peak. And what was seemingly a mission impossible to step in for season 4 Yamamoto did brilliantly with equally good music.

Openings and Endings have been consistently good.

That will have to be it for me. GOAT. No Anime have made me feel this way before. Sadness. Excitement. Happy. Just all emotions possible. A journey worth the life ive been given. Regardless what happens just having watched this made life worth it.

Mixed Feelings

I knew it was over with the manga years ago, so seeing it animated is bittersweet indeed. Nothing to look forward to anymore. Though I am happy to ride this fun ride. Way back in the day I thought it was all over after season 1. We had to wait ages for season 2 and the franchise kept evolving. Scary, to think it could have all ended so much earlier or even earleir if no one had given Isayama's Manga a chance (his drawings were pretty bad :D).

Perfectly done by Mappa. Isayama can be very happy to have worked with yet another great studio that ... was very faithful to his work and even put some of the more... confucing panels into animated action. Andy, boy the animation was awesome and consistent - crazy with all that was going on. Voice acting great, visuals stunning, soundtrack more of the same. The safe way for a series finale but I wish we had gotten some tracks since the first part of the "final season".

Structuring the finale into chapters really broke the flow though.. more than having individual episodes if you ask me since the length suggests a movie experience.

Story
Yes, I disliked certain choices and the way some characters changed and their choices... but that makes a fantastic story, right? I really longed to see Eren united with Mikasa and given him a brake but this wasn't a friendly franchise to begin with and why should the protagonist get of easy right.

Though, I do appreciate Isayama wrapping up the franchise and its main story, I, to this day, do not think it fits its overall tone. All the characters lost the ugly side of humanity and it was pristine and to good to be true and pretty much cheesy. Didn't like the extended "Gangs of New York style" ending either. If they plan to map the world's future expand on it, do it but don't make things up to give us these cheap shots some sort of fans crave. But maybe I am all wrong and a "cringe" Eren planted his consciousness like a seed in his head and will reign terror and get what he wants as a new source of all living matter, force a new Mikasa to be born and they will live in all ternity. THE END.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I am shook to the core and almost threw up and, yes, I cried. This world will always be an important part in my life though it is a chapter that ended since it won't change and evolve anymore.

Same as always: an unyielding desire of the author to say something very clever without any real capability behind it, resulting in an absolute mess followed up by "and now I will speak through the mouths of the characters so that you know what I, the author, actually wanted to tell you."

First episode I wanted for most of the characters to shut their mouth up. Second episode I just wanted author to shut himself for just a split second and let the story flow on its own just for a mere moment, without turning everything into recital of his narration plan. Speaking of freedom, huh?

I ... just hope H.I. shall get enough hype and praise from that single work, and everlasting spin-offs, and whatnot, thus they will not be producing anything to this world until necessary capabilities achieved.
Until they really have something to say instead of having a desire to say just something.

Core idea is good. Ending idea is good. Implementation is abysmal.
Thanks WIT for their best effort during S01-03. Thanks MAPPA for working their asses off during S04+.

You know, right after finishing this, I started questioning myself. I'm literally considering a Tokyo Ghoul rewatch just for the sake of checking whether the butchery called the Marvelous' adaptaion was worse or not. Wild times...
