| Absolute perfection. No words. Mappa went above and beyond and managed to deliver the best episode of anime. |
 |
| Yeah, this ending is still horrid as I remember it when I first read it when that final chapter was released. End of an era for sure after a solid decade with the anime version (personally 6 years since I first saw the series in the middle of season 2's release), but not the best sendoff possible by any means. |
Well mappa delivered on the frame i was looking forward to the most. 1/5. Loved it. |

Don't listen to anything a single person says about the ending being "the worst". The ending is one of the most bafflingly misunderstood things I've ever seen.
And no I'm not saying it's too big brain or difficult to understand. It isn't at all. It's just that people seem to have COMPLETELY missed the point of what AoT was leading up to and what we've seen in the 4th season.
There was no way Eren could have or should have won. He was reduced to a crying child. This is the poetic ending of his character and of Attack on Titan. I'm not saying AoT was 100% perfect, but the fans' desires for a fan-focused ending are mind blowingly out of touch with what Isayama has been leading up to for yeeeaaaaaaaaars.
| @eightdollarwater in my opinion, one of the worst things about it has nothing to do with eren not winning because i didn't want that in the first place. it has everything to do with the fact that a story about freedom, oppression and discrimination had a shoehorned romance as the key to the ending. mikasa being the person ymir waited for comes outta nowhere no matter how many mental gymnastics one can do. and that's not even mentioning the blatant plot holes and bad writing |
| Almost forgot how much this ending sucked, luckily I was just reminded in full HD, so here's a tribute to The King, one and only sane character in this clown world. Fly high Floch.  |

| Lmao I feel so vindicated. For years I kept saying that this show was edgy trash relying on cheap plot twists and absuing the mystery box, but the fanboys kept insisting that it would all come together in the end but instead we got this absolute shitshow. This is why I never follow ongoing series anymore. |
 |
| If i'm ever recommending aot to anyone I will instruct them to stop at season 3 because that would be a better ending than the one we got. From season 4 it was all going downhill culminating in this garbage of an ending, if Isayama didn't know how to conclude the series he would have been better off leaving the ending open-ended instead of giving us this crap. |

| @I_Am_Freeballing nonsense? The ending has so many plot holes and inconsistencies it deserves all the hate it gets. Why does a story about discrimination and freedom suddenly turn into this cheap romance centered ending out of nowhere, why suddenly Mikasa is the person Ymir waited for all this time? Why did Ymir love king Fritz? You can like the ending sure, but saying its a good ending is big cope. |

| @eightdollarwater Haha, the ending isn't disliked by many because it's misunderstood or because Eren lost in the end. It's simply not well-written. Plot armor and plot convenience were always present across the story, but it goes up tenfold in the conclusion and throws out any sense of danger. - All deaths after paths, outside of civilians, are results of suicide. The Alliance suffered 0 casualties in the biggest fight of their life; even their parents were spared how great is that. Good for them. - Stockholm syndrome. Nothing to add here; legitimately the worst thing Isayama could come up with to explain why Ymir followed the royals' orders. - Only Ymir knows and, since she has no tongue, she takes all of that valuable information to the grave. I guess filling in the gaps of the story isn't important for the readers and viewers. - Hallucigenia disappears and is never spoken of again. Poof gone, magic. - Paradis gets carpet bombed years later like everyone predicted. Fascists deserved it. Now the world can exploit the island for its resources. Hoorah! - "No I don't want that". And that's not even covering every issue I have with the way it concluded. |

| @Meinyaa Why can this story not be both about discrimination/freedom AND romantic? Are those mutually exclusive? The freedom and discrimination are still the main themes so I don't know why are you acting as if it was somehow lost? What's wrong with Mikasa being pivotal to the story? The entire reason titans existed for 2000 years is because Ymir cared and loved Fritz so she was listening to his dying wish. Mikasa showed her you don't have to blindly follow the one you love by being able to kill Eren, which freed Ymir from her suffering. The ending makes PERFECT sense to me. |

@otherhalfling the ratings on IMDB were already low even hours before it aired.
One piece fans on AMIR'S discord reviewbombed it hours before it aired.
So what is your point?

| @Itspreshh Okay, we will see how it goes. The majority of fans have found the ending to be disappointing since the last chapter released. It's fine to like it, personally, but you also have to realize that the majority opinion isn't "wrong" either, for thinking it's a shit-show. Given the reception of the final manga chapter, I think we'll just largely get another wave of disappointed fans who waited to watch the anime. Maybe the IMDb rating will go up a bit, but even if it ends up in the 7s after the dust settles, that's still not a good look for a series that had episodes sitting at the top of the highest rated TV episodes of all time for relatively extensive periods. |

| @KneelBeforeMe Yes, I'm a fan of the series so I'm defending it. At least I'm not a hater who is still so butthurt over an ending that happened more than 2 years ago I have to keep refreshing the thread just so I can be the first one to shit on it. |
|
| @ZXEAN I'm interested to see where it will land when the dust settles. I can't imagine it will be well-received, but maybe the production will be able to carry it to some extent (I haven't watched the episode yet, so I can't say if the production is good or not. I'm just assuming it is, because none of the criticism in this thread has been about the adaptation). |
