To be honest this is the best anime/manga I've ever watched/read. I'm not sure what could even be improved tbh.

the ending is best ending??

I wish the voice of the people praising him would have been louder than the voice of the haters. Just because they want Eren to be with Mikasa or they want something else different that doesn’t mean that that would have been the better ending. A big part of the anime is showing us a cruel reality within the aot universe. That’s why it starts the way it does and that’s why we get to know characters just to see them die eventually. It’s the reality the surviving people have to face. And it’s the reality we readers have to face. Isayama connects his readers with the people inside, at least I see it that way. It’s something good authors do, they create parallels.

Asumono said:
Furthermore, the ending was hinted way back in the beginning and it would not have made sense for Isayama to suddenly create a happy ending.

Asumono said:
I like his work. It’s art. I‘m not disappointed at all. I wish he was more proud of it, he really can be!

Of course it had to be a Mono pfp.

And that isn't even what he said there. You ending haters seem to have some age old habit of twisting the words of the author. He isn't even talking about right/wrong, he is only saying that he wishes he could have done some things differently or more like the execution could have been a bit different, which is completely normal for an author. Every author almost atleast once looks back at his works and regrets about the fact or realises that he could have done certain scenes/events differently irrespective of the public opinion. So I don't see what's the issue here? Like I get you dislike the ending, but atleast don't do all this bs.
And he is a programmed machine, right? who has no right to forget some stuff irrespective of the fact whether it's his own story or not, right? He isn't a human, right? And he never even messed up in the first place.

I believe by not being satisfied or improving certain stuff, he probably means to say about the rushed content in the last arc which could have been explored a bit more in detail and we could have had more chapters for more clarity. But I feel like he deliberately chose to end the manga at the 139th chapter due to some symbolism or any other important reason. And as an author, he will obviously have thoughts about where he could have executed certain scenes in a different way but then again that's completely natural.

And I have no problem tbh because all the rushed content will be fleshed out in the anime and the pacing will be fixed as well. Hayashi and the rest of the staff are gonna deliver surely.

U know ur projecting when you think pfp has any relation to anything or that invalidates anything lol. I can probably guess u r one of those people who make their fav anime their entire personality

GoLMatoL said:
I get that you like the ending but atleast dont  spew all this dumbass bs. I swear i lost brain cells reading through this para

GoLMatoL said:
why u taking offence on behalf of the author, what got you acting up? 

dark_knight107 said:
It has nothing to do with fav anime or personality. I just said that based on my previous experience of interacting with the/seeing Mono pfps with the most nonsensical claims and that's why I said that since I thought that you must be one of them. And it turns out maybe I was right.
Wow, so I am the one who was spewing dumbass bs and you lost brain cells after reading what I wrote, huh? And what bs did I exactly write?
I should be saying that for what bs you had written. Go and read again what nonsense you wrote yourself.
Well of course when people like you write such nonsense on purpose and with the clear and pretty obvious intention of mocking the author, then it's only natural that you are bound to be attacked/called out by someone or by some genuine fan.

SNK political aspect put the story way above any action political based anime.
And the ending is good because sometimes things may not be as easy it seems to be.
