You, the average shounen follower: :wojak-nooo:
Me, the Seinen Enjoyer: :chad:
Also mangadex has been down all month, so I havent read anything.
I've had to memorize the different translation groups sites just to get my fix.
I just want people, including myself, to forget this manga ever existed, and to move on.

The anime was good up until season 3, when it was still about little people fighting taller people with epic music and tragic stories. And above all, when we had the mystery of the plot, which was way too ambitious to be solved in a satisfying fashion.
I wish I had never read all these horrific, genocide depicting manga panels, nor invested interest in a plot that would unfold in such a silly way.
I also hate the fact that such panels are going to get animated and voice acted. I know myself, and I know that boredom may very well lead me to watch the anime adaptation, but fuck man. I've already been in a traumatic situation once in my life, and the screams of terror of people (even acted, but we all know how dedicated to their jobs seiyus are) is not something I want to hear again.
Ending on 3 isn't half bad idea since it also leaves the same open end of "war, war never changes" of the manga but without depicting a genocide
I don't think it was bad, just not good. It was a very safe middle of the road ending which I don't think holds up to the quality of most of the rest of the manga.
After reading it just now, that's my thought as well. It's meh.

There's even a implication that war might happen again, in which case, what was the point of literally the whole fucking series? I get that Isayama was going for the "conflict never truly ends" message (hell Armin says it outright) but damn, a more satisfying resolution to such a massive war would have been nice.
I'm also confused if we're supposed to see Eren as a "hero" now? Nah brah you're still a piece of shit for killing 80% of everybody. I'm now convinced Isayama has radical centrist brainworms.
"thank you for commiting genocide"
unironic line in the ending of the biggest manga of the past 2 decades
manga was a mistake
I really was hoping it was shit he said lost in translation or just the kind of background radiation you get from living in a shithole right-wing country but nooo.
some japanese people are based, isayama just isn't one of them
I’m tired of stories that speak to vague platitudes like “it’s human nature to war.” It’s such a skin-deep interpretation of history to assume that nations will always fight “just because.”

Also, placing Eldia in such a powerful position to do what they wish to the rest of the rumbled world leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I guess it’s their turn to do imperialism now? Is killing 80% of the world worth it for that?
Eren as a “hero” now? Nah brah you’re still a piece of shit for killing 80% of everybody
Absolutely confirmed a piece of shit.
Satisfying endings are hard, and I don't think any ending can ever be the peak of a series and thus will always feel kind of meh but also...
spoiler
Also what was up with Eren acting all incel like at paths? Throughout the series I just thought he saw Mikasa as a sister and didn't feel romantic about her! I mean she obviously was into him and he never really showed non-familiar/platonic advances towards her
the story they write just gets infinitely bigger to the point that any ending will be unsatisfactory
:george-rr-martin:
Also maybe mor obscure for this sub but Ashita no Joe and Gunbuster+Diebuster for sure
I got in to an argument recently with somebody who said AOT is a Moby-Dick level masterpiece to be remembered for 100s of years, and the copium today is better for me than when Trump lost.
i remember when i wanted to start watching anime again a few years ago and my 2 choices were Jojo part 4 or AoT, im so glad i chose jojo now
I was reading the ending like, wait this literally just the Zero Requiem but shitty
genuinely shocking how shit it is
i'm just gonna pretend the story ended at 138, fuck me
This was back in 2018
Recently, fans were teased by this surprising tie-in when Hajime Isayama spoke with Bessatsu Shonen Magazine. In its latest issue, the artist behind Attack on Titan opened up about his ideal ending for the series, and he said it’ll remind some of Marvel’s sci-fi comedy. “At first I explored emulating The Mist, but now you could say that I’m moving in a more peaceful direction, similar to Guardians of the Galaxy,” Isayama said as he explained where he hopes to take Attack on Titan. (via Fuku Shuu). “I’m not talking about whether Shingeki no Kyojin [Attack on Titan] will have a good or bad ending - I only speak of my own attitude as the creator, as well as differences in my methods of ensuring that the readers enjoy the series.”
:agony:
Marvel and its consequences have been a mistake for the human race.
I really would have much preferred a time-loop confirmation where Eren is having to fix the world. It would do so many things: He would never be free, which was his dream. A thing that Isayama claims is the worst thing you can accomplish. It would open the ending to a lot of different possibilities. It would resolve a lot of plotholes.
But instead we get this lol.
I'm just sad for the people who were invested in this story for 8 years and this is the ending they get.
