So I've been thinking to myself ever since I finished reading the last chapter. What rating should I actually give this?

The series as a whole was a masterpiece but towards the end the story regressed so much and was so rushed that giving it a 10 is out of the question. For me I'm gonna most probably leave it a blank or at most out of respect give it 8, but I'm curious for what others would be giving this especially after the last chapter. And on what reason would you be giving it that particular rating?

9/10 up to ch 123
6/10 for ch 124-138
1/10 for ch 139
Give it a respectable 7 or 6 if you still enjoy the series as a whole despite the trainwreck that was 139.

i had aot as a 10/10 before the chapter. truth is i didnt love the ending i feel there are some plot holes and it did feel a bit incomplete i was never a fan of eren so him doing a 180 and try to pull a lelouch didnt make me feel much about him i didnt like him from the beginning to the end but i do understand his fans being disappointed i would too, but excluding the ending aot is still a great series with a great plot and great characters i have been following this series since 2014 and i really enjoyed it im not giving it a 10/10 i dropped it to a 9/10 because the ending itself isnt enough for me to consider the series as a whole terrible although it does affect my rating as its not what i was hoping for

I personally don't think 139 was the worst that could have happened. It's what was expected, but the three to four chapters before that just fucked everything. I would say the whole thing with the titan realm reviving dead people was bullshit at it's finest. It's like the horse meme with the drawing getting worse every section. I do feel that the happy ending wasn't too bad. 6 at best?

4/10, I really appreciate it until ch 90, but after that, I just can't look at anything the same way I used to before ch 139 was released. I am cringing looking at every masterpiece pannel after ch 90. The story, characters, and everything is completely ruined. Anybody who is defending this ending is insulting their own intellect.

I felt the same way.
i wasn't a fan of Eren.

Even though I don't like him I do think this chapter brought him back to earth and humanized him a bit.

I had this as a 10 since the Rts arc and the last arc brought it down to a 9. It's quite a unique story, but the ending is quite flawed.

I say I enjoyed the majority of the manga, and the fact that people are now bombing it with ones SOLELY cuz of the ending is tragic. None of us stayed this long cuz it was a bad manga. It just didn’t have an optimal ending. However, I still enjoyed the ending from a person standpoint, even if, from a critical standpoint, it was cliche and had a lot of problems tying up loose ends. All and all, weird last few chapters, but this is still one of the best stories I’ve ever had the chance to watch/read through the past 5 years, which gives it a 9 for me.

I'm still not sure what to give it and I never seen this series as masterpiece anyways, but I know it's going to be in 4-7 range.

I think giving the series a super low score just because of the ending is a little dumb.

My vote before the last chapter was 9. Never thought i would give it a 10 anyway. After reading the last chapter in shitty scans, i was a 50/50 about the ending, and initially dropping it to a 8.5, but now after rereading the chapter with good translation i took the 9 back, and it'll be definitive, at least until i reread all the manga.

An honest 10, will make a spoilery review later on why I think the salty reception this received is undeserving. This was a solid ending to a solid series.

Up to chapter 90, I would have given it a 9 or maybe even a 10 without any hesitation and despite ISayama's sketchy art style.

I was never a big fan of the Marley, post time skip arc. So I would have brought the score down a point. Now with these last 10 chapters I might substract another one.

That said AoT is one of the most important manga ever. It's a real epoch making manga/show.

No the avengers arc was terrible, but I keep the 10 in hope that it could be better with the amount of chapters remaining. When 138 dropped, I lost all hope.

It baffles me how many people are giving it 1/10 because of the ending, claiming that it makes no sense, as if the whole plot went over their head. Like they would prefer this to be just never ending generic shounen. Like they would prefer uninteresting and predictable complete genocide finale. Like they would prefer Eren to just breed with Mikasa or whatever. It's like the whole 2013 cringy shounentard fanbase is back and pretending to be shocked while screaming bloody murder.

The ending was really disappointing for me, so I decided to not give AoT the highest score (10/10), because while it was a grand and entertaining adventure filled with emotions in the majority of chapters, having an ending presenting decent quality for such a great series is important as well. At least to say whether it is good enough as a whole to be called as a masterpiece.

Sadly, I won't call it like that. I didn't have much expectations, or I can say I didn't have any expectations other than just seeing a nice ending wrapping up the story and explaining the most important things (because with only 1 chapter left it was pretty much certain that many questions were going to remain unsolved).

Therefore, my final score for this manga is 9/10. It was such a great ride, even though the last chapters were getting more and more bizarre to reach the climax of bizareness in the final chapter. :P

Give it a respectable 7 or 6 if you still enjoy the series as a whole despite the trainwreck that was 139.

Pretty much this tho I disliked Gabi chapters and the final arc was 5 at best. I gave it 6 which is pretty good score for this manga in the end imo.

Honestly, it's a 9/10 up until chapter 90.
90-107 I'd say 7/10.
And afterwards, it just kept sinking to a 3/10.

I will rate the whole series 5/10. It might be harsh, but it's how I see it.

How some people still rate it with 8 or higher is beyond me.
It's not just a bad ending - it's the ending that renders the last few arcs... pointless.
NOTHING changed, really. If Eren just destroyed Marley's military (as everyone though he would), it would lead to the same ending - Yeagerists in charge, Paradis have peace for now.
But oh wait, now Eren left everyone defenceless without Titans.

I really think that Isayama's original ending was Eren wiping out everyone, leaving only Eldians. That would mean no more war, at least because of the racism. He might have even use Founder to disable "war" and "violence" features. A truely ironic and powerful ending that suits the theme - everyone is free, but at the same time their freedom is limited.

But Isayama went for "i don't remember why i started SAO-- Rumbling" and "i did it because girl rejected me.
Not to mention that atrocious "btw i killed my mom for some reason" moment.
It's somehow even worse than GoT.

Eh, it was alright until chapter 90. Erwin being the best-written character of this series made me appreciate it, but what came chapter 90 after was pretty underwhelming.

7/10 until chapter 90, 3/10 after chapter 90.

Probably a 6/10. The chapters up to 90 are some of the best I’ve ever read but everything after that gets progressively worse until the final chapter. Intro is a 8, training is a 5, Trost is probably an 7, First scouting mission and stohess battle are both a 9, the events of S2 are a 10, events of S3 part 1 is an 8, retaking shiganshina is a 10, declaration of war is a 6, the Yegarist takeover is a 4, the rumbling was a 6, the final battle was a 2, and the final chapter is a 1.

Lmao, if people enjoyed the whole series and gave it good rating a certain bad ending won't make the manga 0/10, if people do that it's just pure class dumbassery. I enjoyed the series and i didn't like the ending that much but it's justified, authors will never be able to please all of the readers, more in present day society as no matter what they do a major chunk will be bitching about it, I have seen this in so many mangas and tv shows.

It's either you like it or you won't and some people take a stand in between, but rating whole series 0/10 or 1/10 which you enjoyed is just stupid and dumb.
2025 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year.
