I hear you. The music of Attack on Titan is truly one of a kind. It is both epic and emotional, and it perfectly captures the tone and atmosphere of the series. I can't imagine watching the show without it. Hiroyuki Sawano is a genius composer, and his work on Attack on Titan is some of his best. He has created a soundtrack that is both iconic and unforgettable. I also agree that Isayama is a legend. He has created a story that is both complex and compelling, and he has developed characters that we care deeply about. Even though the ending of the show was divisive, I think it's important to remember that Attack on Titan is a masterpiece. It is a series that will be remembered and talked about for many years to come.

The best scene in the last episode, in my opinion, was Zeke's death. The thing that made this scene iconic is that Levi did not go to Zeke، but Zeke was the one who called for Levi. It was like if Zeke was telling to him: “ Come and kill me, man. You can take your revenge now. ”

[@faust3209]

I agree. When Armin says 'umi da' he isn't just saying life can also have good things. You see Zeke is very sad, and baseballs make him happy, so Armin is also saying happy is a good thing. Zeke never once thought this in his life so when Zeke said "ooohh wow" that was him actualizing himself as an individual (this is very subtle, most ending haters won't get this except for me and a few intellectuals). Zeke is a monke, and monke are on the ground (not free), trees are above ground (leaf) so they are more free, and birds are above trees (so most free).

As an aspiring writer myself, AOT is a truly inspiring piece of media, that holds so much value in how to tell a character based story, packed full with commentary, development action.

[@Alphabunsquad]

It’s a very odd show in that it was both character driven and plot driven. The plot elements were boiled in so early and it was clear there was a gravity pulling us there on rewatches from the very beginning, yet still so much of the show came from the emotions and struggles of the characters. I think it did a good job of tying its mechanics to the emotions of the characters so they can flow together. I feel like that always what makes a good story since it’s kind what we all want. We don’t just want our existence to mean something but we want our feelings themselves to mean something, for our stories to mean something, for our feelings themselves to shape the world. Any story that creates a device where the feelings of the characters are so deeply entwined with some sort of fantasy mechanics is always going to be impactful

[@differentbutsimilar7893]

I can get behind that at some point, less in others. Eren's characterization is a frustrating mess for me. Early on it's great. Everything past that made me feel like Isayama didn't know what he wanted Eren to be in his story. I feel like there are some big lessons to learn in scope and planning. It just kinda felt like he didn't like where things went towards the end, and couldn't fully solve it. Which resulted in an ending that really let down a lot of people. Eren's characterization, and the ways that different characters reacted to him (especially given the motivators of theirs that were made known to the audience) really cheapened some major plot points for me. So much tension was taken out of it all by that. I just see a lot of deeper concepts on the table that got shelved because Isayama couldn't or didn't want to go all the way there with it, and so went for the next big twist until he cornered himself a little bit and found himself needing to compromise on what would crop up in the end. They also have a nasty habit I noticed with characters. A lot of the things about them that you're supposed to believe are true of them, are never displayed in the characterization itself. They leave it to the characters around them to react to THAT character, the way the writer wants you to see that character. Another bother is kind of just moving on from tense moral dilemmas. What is something a character would never do in one episode, becomes something they do like its normal the next. And only in a few particular instances with very plot-centered characters is the transition ever explored. They just one day start operating like different people. And there are plot points you can look to for why, but it feels unsatisfying. Again, I think this is a matter of planning your characters. There are a lot of points where I think he changed characterizations just to serve the plot advancements he came up with, at the expense of plot cohesion and character relatability. By the ending, we are nearly Evangelion levels of "what, why, and how?" That's my take anyway. There is a lot about the character writing that worked really well on me before the first big twist, when the plot was more like a normal shonen. As soon as the Code Geass style political suspense plotlines came in, it felt like none of the characters were really fitting their roles anymore and it became hard for me to have a consistent picture of any of them. It became sort of a neverending stream of people saying and doing stuff just to get to the moments Isayama wanted. I all but lost the characters to the plot. And that was when the plot was still adding more characters! My one wish is that he gave fewer characters more time. If anything, most of the mid to late characterization felt rushed and for me didn't do nearly enough to justify itself. He pulled out a lot of very heavy historical, philosophical, and sociopolitical ideas to string these characters up and some of those checks bounced hard! I mean, I enjoyed the ride, but I found the writing to be pretty flawed overall. Ambitious, but lacking the direction to always bring full impact from those ambitions.

[@differentbutsimilar7893]

@@Alphabunsquad That last part you said is the thing I don't get. We want our existence to mean something. But I struggle to find the meaning in what any of the characters went through by the end. The reality they are left with is abject tragedy, guaranteed to lead to even more. I see no meaning in what went down. In truth, all of the characters had a role to play in the ever spiraling chain of suffering that would inevitably continue after their deaths. At best, all of those feelings took them in a big circle, leaving a world not unlike the one they started with, arguably worse. I just don't know where the solace is in that. As far as AoT is concerned, those feelings ARE meaningless.

Unless you've read some interview with the author or are privy to his views or inspirations in any way, the only the only themes we can be sure of are that of conflict in general, war in general, and the wars and conflict that come from prejudice, bigotry, vengfulness, and the how the feelings of deserving revenge can be wrongly be targeted on generalized demographics & even across generations.

@kostasspirou1010 I see this come up in a lot of series how if nobody dies then there are no stakes. And its just... Incredibly dull to me. Death is to drama what jump scares are to horror. An easy way to illicit a response and that's it. Absolutely nothing about this ending would be improved by more character deaths, and it would be identically safe, because death on its own is meaningless. It wouldn't have been shocking if more characters died, and the world is so fried who would really care? What made it unsafe is that there was no big secret twist, no genius solution, no positive outcome. Just the same terrible conclusion the series had been saying the whole way through: The world is cruel and sometimes beautiful.

More importantly, it was the fact that even though mikasa loved eren, she was able to break free from him and kill him in order to save humanity (something that Ymir was not capable of doing to king fritz for over 2,000 years). After seeing mikasa find the strength to stop the one she loved, Ymir was able to break free from her shackles and finally do what she needed to in order to save the people she cared for aka the eldians.

Seeing Eren be both a sympathetic villain and the biggest bastard around was probably the most enjoyable experience I've had watching a shonen protag in an anime.

Aot was the first anime I watched in late adolescensce and early adulthood, followed by Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Code Geass. Edit: Plus the fact that at the time of 2015, I was entering college life. And with a bonus, at that time, they aired the spin-off Attack on Titan: Junior High, a comedy series that took a light-heartead approach of the series, especially at a time where both me and the protagonists focused on academic studies. Looking back then, it felt like a nostalgic journey of early adulthood.

Each character appearing and remembering the character development they have been through since S1 also added up while watching the final ep. This truly was something special for a lot of anime fans. It reminded me of how I got into anime and how I got into drawing. It was a story that shocked and intrigued me when I was 11 lol. A story that I will always look back to. Call your name is such a beautiful song even in different remixes and rearrangement. Thank you Gigguk for that tribute intro. (also I completely get why people fell out of watching it.

I actually personally think that Ymir needing to ‘break away’ from her ‘love’ was amazing. It might just be because I’m a victim of gr00ming, but after seeming her say she still ‘loved’ him, I never once thought it meant real love or that she had a good relationship with Fritz. What I instantly thought was that she was gr00med and had an unhealthy attachment and wanting to her ab^ser since she was confined to loneliness for so long. I think it’s heart breaking but, good none the less. Of course Mikasa isn’t in the same situation as Ymir but I think that it shows Ymir that even if someone feels soul bound to someone, they can still defy all of the odds and escape unhealthy attachment, inspiring her to do the same.

The scrapped plotbeats are just a hard-coded part of the story to me. What I learned from AoT is how heartbreaking a scrapped ending can be, and how fans who trust the creator will just accept it because they want to be satisfied. This adaptation coming out is the only thing causing me to come in and say something again.@@Ideophagous You say "wow!! they added a line confirming a timeloop!!! this makes the difference between it falling on its face and not!!!" but from the sounds of it, you liked the original ending to begin with. Nobody is FORCING you to actually look into the criticisms people have with good faith. and unless you want to, I truly believe you'll always be willfully ignorant to the critiques and theories. If YOU just want to accept what you consumed as entertainment and move on, nobody is stopping you. Sit down, enjoy your brainrot, and let the adults have a conversation about their media instead of wrongfully generalizing anyone with more to say than "I liked it!" as a complaining idiot.

[@Ideophagous]

@@MarissaChillya I've criticized the ending to death when it came out in the manga. And no it's not some added line that changed my feeling about the ending, but a number of added scenes and dialogue changes, and especially Armin and Eren's conversation which had some major reshuffles and additions, making Armin's reaction and Eren's justifications more acceptable. Not perfect, but acceptable. Basically, the changes unruined the ending for me (and for many others as far as I can see). I still think Isayama could have done better, but I can see what he was trying to do, and I respect it. To quote SOS Brothers, "he sacrificed the characters and plot on the altar of the concept". Through Armin and Sieg's conversation, as well as the final added panels, he tried to convey the message that "life is meaningless on the grand scheme of things", and that "as ephemeral individuals we can only draw meaning from the small moments in life and our connections with people close to us". I think that's a great philosophical message, and if he had to break some eggs to convey it, as long as he didn't make a complete mess, I think it's fine. If it works for you, you can just assume that the story was conveyed to us through a somewhat unreliable narrator (Armin), who messed up some details, or deliberately kept them for himself.

It takes me back to 2017, when I was on a trip to london with my family, I remember the day before the flight to london I discovered AoT, and I binged all night season 1, and fell in love with this show. I was 13, now im 18, I grew with it as it evolved as well. Truly an end of an era, yet its not bittersweet, I look at the memories of everything and smile and cherish them

[@tuckemon]

Attack on Titan is the most "we live in a society" anime ever. It very much encapsulated the notion of mankind being its own worse enemy and we're always going to find a reason to kill each other. Its a cycle that will never break until we go extinct.

[@tulip135]

That Annie and Mikasa okapi moment being like, the only lighthearted moment this whole episode is CRIMINAL😭 Honestly, one of the many, stupidly trivial things people are still hung up on even after this finale is Annie Leonhart. Idk I think people give her too much of a hard time still. I didn't care about her on my first watch-through of aot, but then I realized her character perfectly embodies a nihilistic perspective that is very thematically relevant to AoT's story. People mainly have an issue with how she doesn't value human life, namely through how menacing she came off in the female titan arc + when she killed the Levi Squad. And to that I say: NO SHIT. Never in her life was she treated as a person; literally abused by her father and treated as a weapon. I'd argue she was worse off than Bert & Reiner in that respect, who at least had loving families. That’s the main reason she seemed more “ruthless” when killing, but she DOES show remorse when she wakes up (why do so many people miss that??) But, I agree that her redemption arc could've been done MUCH better; most of it was implied or done "off screen," which is why the characters "forgiving her" felt wrong to so many people. I had no problem with it because I understood that these characters have gotten to the point where they understand each other. They have ALL, Alliance and Warriors, been forced into dreadful positions of violence. Even Levi wasn't explicitly shown to be spiteful toward her, likely because he (unlike many braindead fans lmao) understands that she was an indoctrinated child who had a mission to complete (although, interestingly, she tried to end the Paradis mission MULTIPLE times. When that didn't work - courtesy of Reiner - she just wanted to get it over with and return back to her father, hence, the female titan arc). I also think Reiner's redemption was emphasized more because his betrayal hit harder for the main group; he actually bonded with them whereas Annie actively (and understandably) tried not to get attached. Anyway, long story short: People bring up the Levi Squad every time, even though it's been years, all while ignoring EVERYTHING else that’s developed her character. However, she did not need to be taken out of the show for 4 whole seasons. It worked, story-wise, but there was so much wasted potential there; and that's one of my biggest AoT criticisms.

[@willzombieking8100]

I've talked about the baby scene with my friend because I love it so much! As they fall down the cliff, lost of colour in the swarm of fear, the cries of one baby are played through it all. The baby is in colour, a red. While it represents this fear Zeke mentions, its also that melancholic sign of hope. Despite the ever-approaching titans that will trample all humans on-top the cliff or be doomed to fall, the people instinctually push this baby forward. It moves closer to doom, yet its life is paradoxically extended. As the only true source of vibrant colour, its emphasised, yet the red specifically allows the scene to show this violent, quick struggle. Its reflective of life itself, in the context of the universe itself: all of humanity makes up only a fraction of a moment, as seen in how quickly these people pass the baby forward, yet each pass represents a generation. The final episode has some amazing philosophical questions and messages that make it a 10/10 for me.

I agree with most of your points except the Ymir loving the King. When she got superpowers she didn't rebelled, she kept being a slave, and even sacrificed her life to save his. I don't see how it is a surprise she had a twisted love for him.

[@abdelbouzazia4955]

And it mirrors an aspect of Mikasa’s relationship with Eren. In fact for 99 percent of the show Eren didn’t treat mikasa well he even went as as far as to insult her and everything she stands for but she still loved him even when he almost never let her feel that she was loved. Because that’s the thing if inconditionnel love exists then Mikasa and Ymir are a great depiction of it

[@rdf274]

Makes total sense. Altho, describing it as textbook Stockholm syndrome definitely takes some of the magic out of her arch

[@abdelbouzazia4955]

@@rdf274 Yeah it's different, inconditionnal love is just an incomplete description of the idea presented in Aot, but stockholm syndrom is pure nonsense if you look it up on the internet you'll find that that victims are always manipulated in some ways, it's completly different from Fritz and Ymir's relationship where he's not manipulating her he's just ruling with an iron grasp a salve ignorant of the very concept of freedom

[@JaketheMovieGeek]

The thing people don’t understand about Ymir is that from the beginning she wanted to be loved. So once she has her titan powers she starts doing things for the Eldian Empire. The King says to Ymir that she’s done great things for Eldia like making roads, making bridges that span mountains and fighting the tribe of Marley. Ymir interprets these praises as love. Then when it’s all over she realizes that the only people who really only loved her were her daughters

This is one of the first two anime that I ever watched. It was so long ago since I started that I don’t even fully remember if I started watching Sword Art Online or Attack On Titan for my first anime. What I do know is this: I began watching this amazing story when I was just a 11 - 12 year old kid. Now, I’m a 20 year old man who saw it come to a glorious end. Which basically means that I have been watching this story for at least nearly half of my entire life. And, because of that, it has left such an incredible impact on my worldview and taught me so many lessons about conflict and human nature, lessons which I will carry throughout the rest of my life.

It's true that the reason why Mikasa was chosen by Ymir was open to interpretation... but only to a certain extent. The parallels between Ymir and Mikasa are pretty clear, they were both bound by love to someone and while Ymir was literally enslaved by her love Mikasa was able to kill Eren despite the fact that she loved him. The public shouldn't always expect to be spoonfed
