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.

As the final credits rolled on the last episode of Attack on Titan, it felt as if I were parting with a piece of myself, a fragment of my very soul that grew in tandem with the lives of Eren, Armin, and Mikasa. For a decade, this wasn’t just an anime; it was a companion through my own metamorphosis, a mirror reflecting the tumultuous journey of coming of age.

Hajime Isayama, you didn’t just create a world; you set a colossal narrative in motion that trampled the boundaries of imagination and expectation. I walked alongside these characters, my footsteps echoing in sync with theirs, through every ... victory and every heartbreak. Today, as their journey concludes, I find myself in a storm of emotions, a bittersweet cocktail of elation and sorrow.

Eren, with your fiery will, you taught me the power and the price of freedom. Armin, through your eyes, I saw the world’s cruelty and its beauty, understanding that hope is its own form of courage. Mikasa, in your unwavering strength, I learned about the enduring nature of love and loyalty.

As I bid farewell to the Scout Regiment, to the walls that have confined and defined them, I'm reminded of the walls in my own life—those I've overcome and those I've yet to conquer. This end is a tribute to the tenacity of the human spirit, a narrative that refuses to shy away from the grim realities of life, yet always finds a sliver of hope in the darkest of times.

I find myself in tears, not just for the story that’s ended, but for the years it spanned—a decade of my life where I, too, faced titans of my own. Loss, growth, fear, and courage. This anime was a constant through it all, a source of inspiration, a comfort in troubled times, and a reminder that we all have the strength to fight our battles, be they against towering monsters or the demons within.

So, thank you, Hajime Isayama. Thank you for the ink you’ve spilled, the nights you’ve toiled, the world you’ve built, and the hearts you’ve touched. Attack on Titan will stand as a colossal piece of storytelling, long after the titans have fallen, a testament to the power of narrative and a companion that helped shape who I’ve become. The journey may have ended, but the memories, like the scouts soaring into the sky, will live on, untethered and forever free.

Farewell, Eren, Armin, and Mikasa. Our parting is such sweet sorrow, yet, you will remain with me, etched into the very fabric of who I am. For in the end, we never really say goodbye to the stories that shape us. They become a part of us—forever.

Mixed Feelings

The journey up till now has been nothing short of a masterpiece, following this anime for so long, just for it to end up in the dumpster has been nothing short of disappointing, to say the least...
Watching a man build up an excellent story for a decade or more, just to throw it all away because of burnout/other reasons has been a sad sight, but not an unique scenario.
After so many rumors of Isayama changing the ending a few times, it's truly a shame that we did not get to witness his actual vision...

The animation, voice acting and sound design were all absolutely top-tier, ... nothing new here. The team put in a lot of effort into this adaptation, so there's nothing to complain about here.

Overall, to stay spoiler free, I'd recommend for nobody to finish watching the final special, the 1st part was still an enjoyable experience, but I'd say stay far clear away from the 2nd part and just treat the 1st part as pseudo-ending.

Isayama initially penned the first 124 chapters of "Attack on Titan" as the epitome of peak fiction, captivating fans with its exceptional storytelling. However, as the story progressed, he seemed to take a different creative path, veering away from the axis of good writing.

The ending he delivered left many, including die-hard fans like me who had held the anime in the highest esteem, feeling a sense of betrayal, disappointment, embarrassment, and even sadness. It was disheartening to witness the butchering of something so remarkable, where every aspect of its brilliance was systematically dismantled, rendering it all meaningless.

Im not just an anime viewer; I started reading ... the manga after Season 4 part 2 concluded. The reason for this was because I encountered major spoilers and heard negative feedback about it.

My motivation to read the manga stemmed from my disappointment with the Alliance formation in Season 4 part 2, episode 7. I hold "Attack on Titan" in the highest regard, considering it the greatest piece of fiction and the best anime ever. Witnessing a decline in its writing quality, coupled with MAPPA's 3D animation, instead of Wit Studio's peak quality (which I still appreciate for its good parts), was disheartening.

At first, I thought at least the music and Eren's character remained intact. However, as I delved deeper into the manga's ending chapters, I found them to be delusional, horrendous, and full of contradictions, erasing, devaluing, and retconning the very essence of "Attack on Titan" that I cherished more than anything else. This disappointment led me to express my frustrations on Titanfolk.

Now that the anime has aired with no changes (it was likely too late for any improvements), I feel a sense of sorrow. It's disheartening to see something as great as "Attack on Titan," with a 10-year legacy and a promising future, marred by the same author who brilliantly wrote its best parts. Furthermore, Mappa's animation made the fights unwatchably boring, leaving little to appreciate aside from the music and voice acting."
