I wasn't expecting such a positive response form the anime onlys.

As a person who hasn’t read the manga, I’m not exactly sure what the big hoopla is over it being “divisive.” Me personally, that was probably the only ending I would accept for this kind of show. This whole show is pretty depressing overall so it makes sense that it would have a very bittersweet conclusion.

If the show ended like; “Oh there’s gonna be no more war, famine and violence for the rest of time,” then this show would be dogshit. I like how it ends with the world just being in a constant cycle of peace to war and back to peace again. Because realistically, why tf would everyone in the whole world just be immediately kumbaya with one another after The Rumbling almost killed everyone? So idk, it didn’t really bother me and I was fine with it just the way it was and if you disagree, go argue with the wall.

I rest my case.

Well, the anime adjusted the ending, Armin shouldering Eren's sin, and the peace is really long, cause they showed in the credits, futuristic buildings, implying a very long time past, either century or millenia, before history repeat itself.

I was expecting that, because of anime onlys are the mainstream audience, being of em are normies and overly positive.

Otherwise, its so hard to comprehend how they are overlooking this much of plothole's, there isn’t even are overreaching conclusion to the story or the theme.

Lol. A lot of AOT's fans are actually the audience who barely watch animes except the super mainstream releases(Mostly shounen actions). Those 10/10 ratings are just normal for these shows. Writing, story telling, character growth doesn't matter for them anyways. Feed them some good visuals and hyped fights and they will crown it as the greatest piece of fiction.

I'm not an AOT hater btw. These are just facts.

Suuure, that’s why GoT S8 was so loved… it wasn’t.

Its not perfect ofc but I’m extremely happy how much they improved the Eren and Armin convo (even without the terrible fanlation most remember)

Also the battle of heaven and earth fights were peak, the anime pulled off just how erratic a battlefield it was

For the first few days that Game of Thrones was out, the voices of critics were lost in the sea of fans.
It was only a few days later when the hype died down that people started to think about what they had just watched.

@TaifSux Being a Normie is better than being a Weeb imo.

I'm not surprised because manga readers tend to overreact and exaggerate a lot. Even if MAPPA didn't change anything from the source material, the ending would still get mostly positive reception from the anime community because it was never a "bad" ending.

well...many manga readers are snobby annoying elitists.

same goes for "read the book" "read the comic" and other smartasses.

some times its true, but i hate this behavior.

im glad the final anime ending is viewed as positive^^

@ZXEAN as an anime only and a weeb, I can say that I loved the ending :)

I think it was kinda expected because from what I have seen anime onlies actually paid attention to the story and since they weren't manga readers, they weren't occupied in constant theorizing or trying to force in their ideas to the author or the staff and other stuff like fanfics etc.

Btw don't get me wrong tho. I don't mean to say that people aren't allowed to theorize or that it's a bad thing to do. It's just that the majority of the manga readers from what I had seen, took their theories took way too far and then got mad for no reason when the author didn't follow them lol. Or they acted as if he is obligated to listen to the fan demands.

And then obviously MAPPA made the adaptation perfect with the godly direction and osts and the peak animation in the battle sequences.

@dk107_ nah, anime onlies did not pay attention to the story. The thing is, this episode was the lowest rated in AOT. It's also in the fact that it has only been 1 day since the anime ended. Give it a month.
