Attack on Titan was the anime series that started me on the journey to watching and loving anime. I cannot express how thankful I am that this series exists.
It also brought so many more people into anime than anyone could have ever dreamed of. AOT 2013-2023 An Era Defineing anime.

10 years watching this anime, the ending...well its not good, but still the production was absurdly insane, it was atleast fun if you isolate the rest.
But for a franchise like this, it not deserved a ending like this.

Despite any controversies, the final episodes links all intricacies together like a nice bow around a giftbox. A bittersweet ending that is not harsh or merciful, just human.

This serie finally comes to an end. After three amazing seasons, the fourth one (by its scenario as well as its animation quality) was a huge disappointment. Those two special episodes however were absolutely great, despite the ending we got. This is still infuriating that Isayama decided to give us a bad ending and to depict Eren as the bad guy. Or the Avengers as pretty stupid, I'm still not sure.

Disappointed also by Mikasa's behaviour, I suppose a lot of people are happy that she broke free from being the little girl that follows Eren. I preferred that version though, seeing her and Armin going against Eren was really hurtful.

There are things that I don't really understand despite the "explanations" given by Zeke. Old titans holders were dead, not in the Way (if it's called like this in English, the eldian world where Ymir was) so why were they able to come back to live and help them against Eren ? Let's just say it's how the Force works.

Overall happy that we got an end to this anime that I cherished so much and was the first real anime that I watched. Sadly I probably won't rewatch it, or not until the end. I rewatched the first 3 seasons 4-5 times but I don't think I'm able to watch the last season again.

I've heard a lot of shit about the ending of the manga, but the production and wrap up of all the themes that made this anime so amazing was nothing short of master class. Rarely has an anime coming to end made me feel such a range of emotions. Yeah the wait at some points was absurd to say the least, but the fact MAPPA did their absolute best to pump out TOP TIER animation the whole way through is a blessing. Erens scene with armin towards the end really fked me up and really made me want a whole episode of them talking it out but it is what it is

AOT is going down in the history books as an all time great and the gold standard of story telling and t production. absolute 10/10 across the board !!!!!!!!!!!

It ended. Ah I cried so many times during the episode. Everything was perfect, I have read the manga back when it was publishing and I loved the ending but anime made me to appreciate it more. All the old osts bought the nostalgia, the sakuga was amazing.
The cabin scene...... knowing there might be a world where Eren Mikasa lived for four years makes my heart bawling..... so much emotions. Eren Armin scene was done superbly, seeing them opening and recognize each other's ideologies was best. At the end..... fallen comrades appearing scene was really emotional, see Levi cry after dedicating his heart along with the survey corps made me bawls my eyes out.
Especially Levi distributing candies was so wholesome.
Lastly Mikasa, you have suffered your entire life, wishing you were able to find your happiness.
And for me AOT will remain #1 show forever even I might see better anime/shows in future. The amount of time and passion I have devoted to AOT in last 4-5 years, I can't imagine myself doing for any other show again. It's just I can't go back to my teenage years fan boying on any other show.
Thank you all the staff members, Sawano for your banger osts, op/Ed artists that made songs which I will always keep on listening, studio wit, mappa, everyone and especially Isayama sensei for blessing with such a cruel yet beautiful world along with a cast which I will cherish throughout my life.
In years I will surely rewatch the whole stuff, and I hope I can remember the emotions which I felt on first watch/read.

Shit, it's really over now. Took like a 46 billion years but it's over.

All and all, I thought Mappa did a fantastic job on adapting this final part to the final season. Everything was really top tier in terms of quality and I thought it was even better adapted than how it was in the manga. Of course the ending itself is alright, like it's the most 'ending' sorta ending ever ya know? Like it just feels like an end to a series but that's just it, an end to a series. But never the less, good series and it got an alright ending.

I don't know why this was hated so much in manga form as I haven't read it.. all I can say is that in anime form, this was the best ending I could've ever forseen.. I've never gone through so many emotions in a series in my entire life.. I have no words to explain how much this anime has affected my life. this is the best show I've ever seen period. the ending was sublime.. I have nothing else to say, I'm literally in tears of joy right now. Well done Mappa 😭 I absolutely loved every minute

Absolute perfection. No words. Mappa went above and beyond and managed to deliver the best episode of anime.
@I_Am_Freeballing seeing you since the days of manga, I appreciate you for your stand throughout the run here on MAL. I loved the ending and seeing a fellow sharing same commitment for the series is really great. Hoping the forums here would have more open minded and rational.

I find it hilarious how in the first few pages of this thread all the manga ending haters rushed in to say how the ending sucks while watching the raw claiming they don't need subtitles cause they know the manga lines.

9 hours later, the official subs come out and the most controversial scene from the manga is almost entirely changed.

I didn't mind that scene in the manga at all but the anime still made it 100x better.

The very definition of a dogshit ending. Literally the worst ending ever, this anime is literally a 3/10 and the fact so many prop it up despite it being over zealous pseudo intellectual trash is proof we need to have iq tests on this website. If you want good anime, watch black jack 2004 and 21 since they end the series way better than anything this horrible mangaka and studio ever can.

I didn't hate this ending in the manga and I don't here, but it does suffer from the same pacing and character development issues the rest of the rumbling arc suffered from. That being said, I much prefer this version of Eren and Armin's conversation in the paths, though it's still a bit rushed, at least Armin has a stronger reaction to... you know, Eren fucking murdering 80% of mankind, and the whole "thank you for committing genocide for our sake" thing was removed (thank God) for a moment that serves the intended purposed of the scene much better, with Armin questioning Eren's motivations and finding out that this started with something both of them had in common: The dream of achieving freedom by seeing the outside world as they believed it had no other humans. It's a really huge improvement, I just wish they also made changes to the other twists that just get revealed there without further elaboration, like Ymir being in love with King Fritz and Eren being responsible for his mother's death, but eh, I'll take what they're giving me.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

The ending is fitting for the story but it leaves a sour taste in many mouths because of its nihilistic view on the cycle of life. After the viewer is told to treasure the small things in life and shown how connections with others is how we continue to live on, we’re then shown that it’s all meaningless in the end. We’re told to appreciate life in an unchanging living hell before we inevitably die and that cycle continues over and over for the generations after us. While this world view makes sense in the context of Attack On Titan’s story it’s a view that many either don’t share or don’t want to accept. Putting all other criticisms aside, I believe that’s what people’s core issue with the conclusion is whether they realize it or not. It’s not necessarily the story’s conclusion that’s disappointing, it’s the grim world view behind it. One may also argue that the dissatisfactory ending is intentional because of it’s grim message reflecting on reality. We’re supposed to feel dissatisfied because it’s a reflection on a bloody and unforgiving world around us.

Overall, I enjoyed the ending to this amazing story. It’s a fitting end to a dark tale but it’s a message that doesn’t (and isn’t meant to) sit well with me.

At long last, the actual, for real this time, final final part is here and filled with so many of the things that made so many of us enjoy this series over the decade that it hung around. As expected, the story's climax was action-packed with great animation and the OST never disappoints. Love seeing the animators flex their skills when they animate the ODM movement. And setting aside the action for a sec, the emotional parts of this finale hit pretty hard too.

Re-reading this last batch of chapters this morning, then watching this made me realize that tbh....the ending honestly wasn't THAT bad lol. Sure it may not have been ideal, but it ended the way it needed to, even if Isayama potentially wrote himself into a corner. Idk, I was never part of the crowd that threw tantrums like little babies when the manga ending first came out anyway, so maybe that's why I feel this way as I re-experience it 2 years later. I think the staff did a good job of adding a more emotional impact to the ending though.

Well, it's finally over. It's been a hell of a decade-long run for the anime but all things must come to an end sooner or later. I still think the whole "final season spanning nearly 3 years" thing is goofy, but what can you do when you acquire a monster like this series under the circumstances in which Mappa acquired it. So long, AOT, it was quite the ride.

Oh and one more thing, even if this ending wasn't the greatest, I'm just happy Mappa stuck to it (as most sane people expected them to) and they didn't do an anime-original thing. The suffering of the people on that hardcore "muh AOE" copium makes me so happy, and I'm glad they didn't get what they wanted 🙏🙏🙏
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Not to be a contrarian, but I liked it. The plot is kinda confusing at this point and going all over the place at times, but I don’t regret my 10-year journey going from thinking AoT is overrated, to enjoying it, to loving it, and finally feeling satisfied that it’s finally joever. Besides the confusing infinite time loop bullshit, I really don’t see why everyone hates it so much.

WTF were manga readers doom-mongering about the ending for for the last 2 years? Must be some of the worst fans of any series I've ever seen. I thought that was pretty decent and a fitting end to the series.

Aside from faces that Eren pulls, which were pretty simpy, in his conversation with Armin towards the end, the rest of that finale was solid.

Flawed for sure, but you'd think by the way fans of the manga spoke, that it was the worst ending to a series of all time.

Some of the animation was superb, character acting was great, the OST was hype, the Sakuga was outstanding (in particular Levi and Mikasa punching through the Attack Titan).



@xenosys U didnt understand what happened thats why u dont know why manga readers hated it. I dont have time to type whole stupid story Isayama pulled starting from Part 1 but I will give u a hint : Forced Avengers.

@WiblurFootIA It didnt make any sense.It was not the worst ending but it was the most STUPID ending.Most anime only watchers here didnt understand the stupid story Isyayama pulled from Part 1. In manga people can comprehend what is happening but in anime its little faster so some here are unable to understand what STUPIDITY Isayama did starting from Part 1. Hint: Forced Avengers.

I understood it perfectly. I didn't say it was perfect and it had some flaws, but I was expecting a proper ass ending, and it was anything but. Was actually surprised how decent it was.

As I've said, some Attack on Titan manga fans, especially those that stick to certain sub-reddits and forums are some of the worst out of any fanbase I've seen on any series. Some of their head-canon over the last two years has been laughable.

They've essentially managed to gaslight the entire anime community into thinking it was going to be one of the worst endings in the medium, and I've seen far worse, this year alone. Instead of admitting that it may not be as bad as you'd secretly hoped, as you've had a hate boner for this for 18 months now, you'll still continue to gaslight people people who watch it into thinking they don't understand it.

Thank you for everything SNK <3

I don't have the words to say what a pure MASTERPIECE this last episode is.

It's late (5 a.m. in France), but an anime like this has never put me in such a mood and... it's complicated to speak with an open heart after having loved and enjoyed this masterpiece

I think I will have a very good memory of the last scenes, of this anime in general which gave me chills throughout, thank you, thank you and thank you again
