| is not that unusual but most of the fanbase of shingeki no kyojin considered the writing fenomenal until that point so the disapointment is greater when expectations are greater basically |
| AoT fandom are a bunch of crybabies. They throw a fit whenever they don't get what they want.... Studio change? tantrum... character dies? tantrum... story ended? tantrum... The best way to deal with them is to pretend they don't exist. Oh and the ending was good btw |
 |
| The problem is that most of the AoT fans were deluded into thinking that Isayama was capable of writing a good ending, when any reasonable person would know that the only good aspects of his writing are his capability of building hype and developing mystery aspects. So expectation was obviously never going to be met |
| Isayama set the fanbase up for disappointment after chapter 122. |

| A bad ending can really hurt a series. Oreimo's ending is the only reason i can't score it higher. It was a cute comedy without the incest. They should've left it as subtext and had it be a platonic, normal sibling relationship. In my opinion. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| After too many anime and manga with bad endings or no ending at all, I got used to prefer the journey. I don't like AoT's ending, but it's not a 1/10 (just as it wasn't a 10/10 before). |
| The thing is that it’s so difficult to make everyone happy with an ending, and that’s even more the case with long running shounen series like AOT, since they have way more fans to please and loose ends that need to be tied up. It’s unfortunate, but I guess the silver lining is that good endings are all the more satisfying when they do come along. |
  "Truth is always a cruel thing." |
| It's not so much that a bad ending is uncommon, but it's more unusual for an ending to be "bad"(haven't actually watched AOT, so idk how bad it really is) on a show that is that popular/highly-regarded. I agree that there is an obnoxious amount of bitching about AOT and its ending on here, but there's just a lot of bitching on here in general, and the more popular something is, the more desperate people seem to bitch about it. |
| Poyo. |
| It probably has something to do with how hot a topic SNK is. It's going to come up again and again with the shitstorm that it cooked up in the first place. You just don't pretend an ending like that never happened lol |

| For big titles maybe. But everything else can do really fine these days easily. Not everything is on the same playing field tho from the looks of things.

Uh, dont know how that is causal, I made my account after watching like 100 anime, one of them being AoT |
| it is not unusual at all. usually when anime ends then ending is shit very rarely is the ending good but in the case of aot people are hating on it because the ending is probably one of the worse anime endings of all time |

Was just saying that I didn't know if or if not you cared when the community reaction when manga ended. Then pointed out how people wanted a different ending lol. |
| Most anime/manga endings are pretty bad. It's more difficult to think of great endings than it is to think of mediocre, bad, or terrible endings. I think the average anime ending ends up being disappointing to some degree. |
 ☆☆☆ "There's a huge difference between one and infinity. However, compared to the difference between existence and non-existence, one and infinite are nearly the same. I am the child destined to become the best witch... no... The greatest Creator in the world...!" -Maria Ushiromiya ☆☆☆ |
| Endings are hard in general. Trying to wrap things up in a satisfying way is very difficult. If you have everyone be happy at the end you are cliché and unoriginal. If some charters die or have a less then happy ending their fans will be pissed. people don't want endings they see coming a mile away but also don't want one that just comes out of left field. For any multi-instalment work or fiction to have a good ending seems rather rare to me. This doesn't even touch on the fact that Anime series are often just used to promote their ongoing source materials so they don't even get an ending. |
| Sadly it's not nearly that unusual enough these days. What's the point of fiction/fantasy that's as gimdark, hopeless or tragic as reality! (don't even get me started on edgelord crap) |
| I don't think the frequency of bad endings necessarily negates active criticism for it nor should you go into one expecting it to be bad lol. Especially in the case of something like AoT where it had received lots of praise for its writing before the ending/last arc (remember all those "peak fiction" comments lmao) It's like just because most josei smut have the ML practically sexually assault the FL doesn't mean they aren't deserving of criticism when it does happen |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| It's not unusual, but you still want a good ending to a series you care for innit. It's a shame that it's not unusual to feel disappointed in an ending to an anime or incomplete with a lot of them too. Applies to manga that get axed quickly too or have a painful schedule/hiatuses. |

It feels kind of overkill... like how often does a series actually end well in the first place anyway? Are people really that surprised about it? I understand the hype and all that but that seems to be more on the audience for expecting so much out of it than anything else, because it feels like a bad ending tends to be the norm in fictitious stories to be completely honest. @AwokenStroken, @Katou81, @Gween_Gween, @FMmatron, @Nirinbo, @triplepsycho, @_spoon_, @DonutCloud, @Antiphoenix, @Short_Circut I'm going to laugh my fucking ass off when all the superficial Anime fans (who just watch Shonen) start hating AOT, because it has a "bad ending." Ahh delectable irony. They overhype any Action Shonen that comes out, and don't watch anything else. It's going to be great. The funny part is I'm probably going to enjoy it, I love bleak endings and bittersweet endings. |

| Good endings exist, so I don't see I why should lower my standards to fit an expectation. If a show wants to be praised as exceptional, it has to accomplish things that most shows don't. The ending is part of that. |

The funny part is I'm probably going to enjoy it, I love bleak endings and bittersweet endings. Grow up kid. U haven't read/watched nearly enough anime/manga to make claims like that lol Endings like code geass which r so idealistic or should I say unrealistic wouldn't have worked here in aot anyway if u thought 'permanent peace' is actually a 'thing' |
| For me ending is important as it leaves the final impression of the series to me like let's say your enjoying a glass of great juice and by the the time you finish drinking it the juice taste changes and you vomit it out will you still say it's great juice and and will drink it again to enjoy the it and then vomit it after? A rational person won't Thus a bad ending will have similar effect upto a certain extend and will really impact rewatch value So you expect a good/satisfying ending And since the aot was praised to high heavens last year around this time (which was very annoying) And with its ending being very controversial Backlash to that high praise will also be high |
 |
| I think there’s a difference between a lackluster and a straight up bad ending, and I assume a majority of fans perceived the ending of Attack on Titan as the latter option |
 |
| not really actually, but for some title like AOT people overhating it because its really dissapointing for them ig |

Honestly i feel like bad ends are very rare in anime I've accepted it as the norm in normale shows because they tend to get dragged on and milked until they stop being good but with anime i feel like the creative vision of a single author is more respected . Also when people are unsatisfied with Aot they should give this video a watch https://youtu.be/H6GmVCD7cxk |

|
| Not unusual. Aot fans are just too whiny and the only way for them to cope is to hope for Anime original which I'm 90% sure, will not happen. A better execution for the Anime ending is plausible, but completely changing it is definitely not for sure. |
