what do you think about the whole series after the ending (Spoilers)

was a 10/10 for me before, didn't expect the ending to be perfect but didn't expect it to be this retconned and just unenjoyable either.

eren was removed from my faves as well was the manga.
for a lot of stories with bad endings i did reduced my vote with 1 or 2 points but this ending I absolutely hated everything about it and ruined the whole story for me. I have no desire to reread or rewatch the series no longer again after they lead up to... well this. So yeah the journey was great, but was extreamly ruined in the span of few chapters soooo by the end I rated it 3/10.

the anime is still good yes and it's fine to keep it in faves, every season stands up to itself it can be view as if this was your fave arc even. we shall see if the last season is going to have an anime original ending but i highly doubt so.

i do see a lot of emtards praising still the ending because uwwu eren simps for mikasa awww cute soooo idk

About a 9/10 for me, I have my grips with the final few chapters but nothing that really ruined the rest of the series like they did for other people. Hell, the 8-extra pages made the final chapter better for me, seeing that Paradis (in the future) was eventually destroyed by some kind of war helped change the unrealistic and optimistic conclusion the original chapter was going for into a bittersweet and thematically-consistent conclusion.

I am not saying you guys need to like it, hate it all you want. I just personally liked some of the themes Isayama was elaborating on with the ending and felt it was consistent with the rest of the series, even though the ending was a bit rushed and anti-climactic.

Let's hope that the anime can fix some of the pacing issues, mistranslations and elaborate further on Eren's absolute BS omnipotent and time-transcending god powers.

The fact that the panels were done practically back-to-back is probably what makes it better (for me personally), there is literally no context to them so we can spend hours and hours theorizing as to the context behind them. For instance, was Paradis wiped out in retaliation to Eren's genocide? Did Mikasa marry Jean? How far into the future does this boy live in? what kind of power lies in the tree anyway?

I don't particularly need answers for everything when a series ends, for me its probably better when an ending raises a few new questions since it stays relevant in my mind for a long time. e.g. Monster and Oyasumi Punpun.

Also, to what you said about the extra pages being unadaptable, I think that is untrue.
These pages could be easily done as the credit role after Mikasa talks to Birb Eren, as the credits roll (and some new Sawano song plays in the background) we see the tree growing incrementally in the centre of the screen with society changing in the background. Eventually the focus will be placed on the boy and his dog at the end of the credits. They find the tree and move towards its entrance, the show then fades to black.

I can't really argue with you there, since I can't really see the problem with it. It didn't need a story since the story of our protagonists and the plot had already ended. These panels exists as a small epilogue with a single purpose, to show the growth of the Eren tree while the rest of history played out in the background.

the ending retconned the entire storyline throwing the last 50 chapters in the trash, previous great scenes are now meaningless knowing that Eren was lying this entire time, you can't even enjoy them anymore dropping the series rating for me effectively to 0/10 I'm waiting for AOTNoRequim.
