| Haven't watched it yet and love the story (manga), but just haven't been able to bring myself to watch every week after about episode 17 or 18. The pacing is pretty slow; and it seems like the fight in ep 25 will be pretty awesome to watch, but that they messed up the story as well. I'll watch the rest in bulk. Loved the show from ep 1, was "effing amazing"; from then till now, the show has become "It's a pretty good show" Jojo's Bizarre adventure kinda spoiled me with how good of a damn adaption it was and kinda upped the bar/my standards for what an adaption should be though |
| The fight was lame. Episode 21 fight was much more entertaining. |
 |
| EPIC!!!!!!!!! OMG. Eren turning on fire wasting Annie. Mikasa was awesome but damn Levi saved Eren before he got crystallized. Annie is still alive right? What!!!! 0____0 A Titan is inside their walls??? Season 2 Please!!! |
| Pretty good episode. Only problem i had with this was Levi randomly showing up even though he was supposed to be injured. >_> Wonder how long it'll be for us to get Season 2. |
| All I've seen is an Annie refusing to kill or fight Eren and an Eren trying to kill Annie. In fact Annie never wanted to kill Eren , Arming or Mikasa or anyone important to Eren. All those who have died are those who pointed out Eren as a monster.......what a shock , Annie killed those that hurt Eren one way or another. |

Lol. Eren's Raging Face = Evangelion. |

I KNEW they reminded me of something I'd seen before but couldn't place it until now--the shape/look of the Eva unit eyes. There was also that part where an arm flew off near Erwin, blood splattering everywhere. Throw in Eren's Shinji Ikari moment(s) in ep24 and you have some showing of respect/ripping off of Evangelion. |

Narukami07 said: ravagestorm said: Now you guys know how I felt when Madhouse ruined the ending of Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail. Was the shitstorm as huge as here? I doubt there was heavy criticism. It was an OVA continuation of a popular enough (but nowhere near Shingeki's level) seinen with two prequel TV series. Not enough of a fandom left for arguments when the OVA came around with years in-between, I wouldn't imagine. ...then again, what do I know: I was irritated by the changes/end fail but dealt with those feelings by giving it a 7/10 and leaving it at that. Too bad I was more passionate about Shingeki! PS: Death Note is the best anime adaptation in known existence--an adaptation that nailed everything whilst correcting the flaws of the second half's pacing. The same director as Shingeki's + Madhouse. MH may have fucked up on-going series like with Claymore's worst-can't-continue-open-end-ever, yeah, but when a series is finished they're the best of the best. The Shingeki director + MH duo also nailed HotD. Thus, I'd take MH over first-time WIT any day. Most studios fuck-up on-going series adaptations when they're pumped out like this. |

| ...I actually forgot about those last few minutes (first half of the final episode was perfect--THAT LAUGH!) of Death Note. I guess I put it to the back of my mind since there's so little wrong with it otherwise. At one point I described the sappy marathon alteration as removing DN's final twist but it didn't ruin anything--the series was effectively over by the cock-up point, thankfully. The anime team were clearly Light fans that couldn't bring themselves to have his character end... that way. About HotD: there was no on-going ruination to be seen there. They re-arranged one separation section without hurting anything so they could end with the desired cliffhanger, whilst also taking the series in a pairing direction fans liked that suggested the lead was doing a Makoto from School Days. But the anime stuck to the manga whilst making it more sexy and gory than B&W pages allow - emphasising the show's main appeal - whilst displaying flashy animation. In short: MADHOUSE DID GOOD WHILST LEAVING OPEN-ENDING, YAY! PS: Someone, somewhere mentioned Berserk's ending in a negative light; comparing it to ep25 of Shingeki. Best anime ending of all-time, for my money. It left viewers forever haunted by what they'd seen whilst making it impossible to not read/buy the manga to see what happens next. As on-going cliffhanger endings go, you just can't better the impact Berserk had. |
dxia said: - A guy named Keiji hitting the cocoon, which is a serious nitpick. I would honestly keep Jean as the guy hitting it. Who cares. Well, I do. Not because I wanted to see exactly Keiji, but because it was the straw that busted the Scouting Legion presence there. They looked like morons, up to the waltzing injured Levi and the kids trio taking over the action, completely disregarding their [timely] character development and roles in the manga, with the prospective second season in mind. I could make it sound even worse and prove it, but the more I think, the angrier I am getting. And I don't wanna. At this point, we all will be running in circles - the anime-viewers would not care (so, the episode is successful the way it is, really); whatever I say, the series has finished. Anyway, if there is a second season, I am more inclined to think that it will be preceded by a prologue or a zero episode, perhaps fixing all the action bullshit here in favor to properly resetting the facts. On the blackening titan-form: looked really like Jabberwock's (from Project Arms). It may be only tribute to the influences Isayama said he had had, it might be foreshadowing a new ability (Annie's leg clearly disintegrated in Eren's hands). On the other hand, further in the manga, I can't say his regeneration speed has improved (up in the trees chapters). Eren's will at the moment was to defeat Annie, was in rage and exerted himself with it. The way I see it, it's more like a burn-out, similar to his first fights and when carrying the boulder to the outer gate of Trost. |

| The man said to buy the DVDs :) I'll go with the manga and the OSTs, though, 'cause no subs issues on the BDs. Oh, I forgot. You wrote the alternative script, right? If I may suggest, the scenes with the rest of the kids (on the horses) could go back to episode 24. It might change a bit of the arrival of the carts with the imprisoned Eren and the others - like, crossing the gate. And I think, we can also put the flying geese there, too :) If plans A, B, and C are about to happen, let's give more food for thought by using familiar images w/o explanation. Good work on trying to offer a script I personally enjoyed to read :)) |
| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. Read more at http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=669005#Fz5Zx9ORsmJCexLp.99 Mod Edit: Just a reminder folks. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| The manga author has reconfirmed in a fan event that he is very pleased with all the changes made in the anime, specifically mentioning Ani's smiles and the fights between Ani and Eren in this final episode. He said all this is something he would have loved to do in the manga but somehow could not, so he is very happy that these changes are put in the anime. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

If you were at said event in person, what did he say about the wall reveal? Levi? Crazy Eren? He did not say anything about the wall reveal, Levi or crazy Eren or moving some of the dialogues from Eren to Armin etc etc. as far as I see though. |

Narukami07 said: No, the director has always been Araki Tetsurou. As for episode director, there are FOUR in this episode and one of the four is Araki. The other three are all episode directors in some previous episodes already. So there is no new name in this final episode.Narukami07 said: Seriously, just ONE.SINGLE .ANSWER and i'll stop bringing this quote up!But still, as my previous post stated, did they really change directors with episode 25?? dxia said: You probably won't get it more than what I already saw about Ani's smile and fight between Ani and Eren (which are specific things). Anyway over the time the author has been consistent in saying he was personally involved in the project and he is pleased with all the changes and what we see is he said the same thing after the series ended so we can take the view that he is talking about the whole series. I don't see much likelihood that he would bring up specific details to talk about. I want to see what he thinks of them in detail instead of some blanket statement. |

| it was the worst episode so far, Annie didn't seem like to fight... she just run away from eren... |

Like in the previous episodes, Isayama's opinion of the changes in the anime was what I was truly waiting for. It doesn't entirely erase those nagging issues that people have brought up, so I still have the same reservations I did before. Perhaps his praise could be lip service, but I do think he's being honest. At the end of the day, it's his story and how it's presented is how he sees fit, so that's fine by me. |
| This is indeed a grim reminder for mankind, the day SnK season 1 ended |
| I would'v liked more content and things explained faster. Wouldv liked to see more Unique Titans like the armored or Giant titan. Thought they spent way too much time with Eren vs Annie. wouldv rather them have more fights with different Titans. But o well, it is what it is i suppose. I didnt read the Manga and dont plan on it. Im hoping for a s2 eventually and they dont leave us with a Claymore type ending. But as for the action scenes...they were amazing. def gotta give the animators props for those scenes. I give it 9/10 |

| season 2? |
  |
| The ending was bullshit I wanted Eren and Mikasa to have an incestious moment. (Even though they aren't blood.) It was pretty obvious she had feelings for him besides the point that their parents told Mikasa to protect Eren. TBH the series had SOOOOOOOOOOOO much plot holes. Call me stupid, but what happend to the Colossal Titan or w.e at the beg. of the series? Why did the 'Female Titan' attack people besides the point of her father? What was in Eren's/Mikasa's basement? This series was FAR from perfect, but 10/10 personal. And 7.5/10 overall. #Opinions. |
| I really enjoyed this anime series. Would definitely want and would watch a second season if it came out with one. 9/10 |

| Lol at manga ragers, I've read both the manga and anime and without a doubt the raid on Stohess district was better depicted in the anime than it was in the manga. It was just plain better. 10/10 episode and series. |

Madhouse is a great studio but somehow they really fuck it up in the end (I really can't get over claymore) I just wish hunterxhunter will continue as its now...faithful to the manga. |
