The ending was a wild ride. Kinda confused on why everything led up to Mikasa’s wish though. Why would Ymir and Mikasa want to do that to the world?

I’ve been at work all day so I’ll be crying tomorrow even though I know exactly what happens 😭

Melissa Huynh

I didn’t think I cried but totally did several times.

Daniel Sellars

Only 6 minutes in and you realize that Ymir was the one who was at fault, and it wasn't just everyone in the village throwing her under the bus for the letting the pig out, but she smirks because she knows this action is what eventually makes her the founding titan (Time became fluid for her so even before becoming a titan she knew).

i already knew how it would end and still sobbed so many times, it was my first anime and i hold it so dear

glad to say been with the crew since day 1.. i remember seeing your guys video pop up on my youtube a day after you guys posted it

LPP

Full circle indeed and it was amazing to be able to share your AOT journey, thank you Studio Gek! BTW, here's an amazing behind the scenes look at the MAPPA staff putting this masterpiece together (there aren't any spoilers :) The guy who looks like he hasn't slept in a year is the director LOL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4_t2QM3bQo

Elina

As somebody who stumbled upon you guys when your very first aot reaction vid to episode 1 came up on my YouTube recommended it has been so much fun watching you guys experience the story from beginning to end, especially as a manga reader. I've been an aot fan for something like 5 years and this truly is the end of an era it feels so weird. If you guys ever have time I highly suggest you read the manga from start to finish or just rewatch the whole show cuz I'm telling you this story is meant to be revisited over and over and you'll find so many new things within the story with foreshadowing and parallels. I go back and read it from the beginning from time to time and even after like 6-7 times reading it I still find new things in the story. Anyways I'm glad you guys got to experience this story, and that we could all experience it along with you :)

leah

ahh ive been watching you guys since you posted your reaction to finding out abt reiner and bertholdt... this is so full circle. so happy to be here for the end :)

ssj4rit
>>121469722

I don't think she knew she'd be the Founder at that point, I think she just smiled because she was able to set something free even though she herself was a slave. But it's meant to be interpretable I guess.

Alex Michael Christensen

Holy crap this episode was THE BEST episode of fiction ever, the only time I have ever cried from a book, movie, tv show, videogame, etc. The soundtrack, animation, art style… just everything was perfect!

bhliss

can't believe it's over :(

Daniel Sellars
>>121469722

1hr and 3 min in Eren explains that the founder's powers make time seamless. As soon as Eren got founding titan powers from Ymir he was able to in the past send the smiling titan to eat his own mom. As soon as he has the power it's like he ALWAYS had it.

Aaron S.

I think Eren wanting to wipe out the outside world when he says “he wanted to do it” I think stems from the bitterness he was filled with when he found out that ideal world he spent his whole life fighting didn’t exist. He was just left with anger and wanted to destroy these people who had locked him in a cage and ripped away his dream. It’s incredibly messed up but makes sense given his character path

aubrey !!

so sad that it's over. i cried only at the end, not even at the ending but js knowing that it's over for good

Alex Michael Christensen

Falco in the very first episode of season 4 when he wakes up from his concussion says he was flying in the sky and people were zipping by him with swords or something like that. It was a combination of Zekes spinal fluid to give him memories, and power, and the female titan has the ability to copy other abilities. She mentions when she was training they had her eating all types of things.

Henrique I. Pereira

Just finished watching the episode and going to watch the reaction now. Honestly I wish I liked the ending but I don't. I mean, it's not the worse thing ever but for the caliber of AOT, it's kinda bad. Eren was way out of character at the talk with Armin. It feels like they put some plot twists just for the sake of having them than making the story better. Hell, I even cringied hard when Eren was saying that "at least 10 years" shit about Mikasa. I wonder if manga readers hate or like it though and if the anime made it worse or something.

asdfg

doubled down on the depression today to watch this again with you guys and you did not disappoint

YourGuy

IT DIDNT SHOW WHEN ARMIN SAW THE BIRD ON THE SHIP WITH ANNIE

Alex Ramirez

FYI the last minute of war continuing were bonus pages for the last chapter. They released like 3 weeks after the final chapter of AoT was published. The hate for the ending started before those bonus pages released. People who wanted Eren to annihilate the entire world were the ones who hated the ending. Saying Armin thanking Eren was stupid and stuff. The original ending is great and the only thing I wanted from the bonus pages was a more fleshed out epilogue but instead it gave more ammo to the haters.

Jordan Dahlager

I realized what Ymir wanted from Mikasa was a proper resolve to Ymir's feelings. In the scene where Mikasa speaks to Ymir it shows an image of the spear killing King Fritz rather than Ymir blocking it. I believe Ymir regrets not having the resolve to kill Fritz and this is why Ymir entrusted everything in Mikasa because she was longing for someone who had the resolve to do what Ymir never had, and that was to sacrifice the one she loved for the sake of the people.

Jordan Dahlager
>>121472125

Oh and one other really cool thing was Armin stepping up for all the Eldians towards the end in the face of all the Marleyan soldiers. This is a throwback to season 1 when Mikasa and Eren put all their faith in Armin to convince the garrison that they were not threats to humanity.

Denzel Mwandha

I saw a crunchyroll comment that said the manga started 13 years ago and the anime ended today, so this story literaly had the lifespan of a titan shifter

DrDinosaur

I’m pretty sure that the tree does have that thing inside of it at the end because when Erem and armin were talking they said something like “this has happened before countless times” or something like that and my take on it it that the show is just one of those times that all this has happened and the cycle starts again with a new “founder” after the thing dies and gets reborn

Nonos

If y’all look in the credits showing the ppl visiting eren’s grave, it shows mikasa with a guy implying she still lived her life and married someone. And it looks like Jean but not confirmed.

Joker
>>121471974

when i first read it i didnt particularly like it, for the reasons you stated but also just the weird behaviour from mikasa and armin after eren died, the necro was so uncalled for, but my qualms with erens character shift in his talk with armin has subsided (not the necro ew) because i think the exact point is that it wasnt out of character, it was EREN in those moments, not the founding titan. now maybe the lines were a bit cheesy but bros like what 19/20 there? gotta cut him some slack bro has been through it. it made sense that in that moment, while hes there killing millions, he strips away the facade in his chance to speak openly to his friend to almost get away from it all while accepting his true feelings as a teen. the plot twists for me were welcome details, even if not necessary to the story, i thought they were cool. but yea no i think the anime did well (they really shoulda replaced that one scene with smthn else tho god damn😭)

Matthew Valentine

this looked SO good, it was a full feature film length and had only as many awkward looking cuts as a regular length episode. MAPPA let your animators take a vacation! they have earned it haha

DrDinosaur
>>121472321

And idk for sure but I’m pretty sure that the new chapters coming out is a sequel so more the kid at the end mayb🤷

Keneizha Rubanarayana

Just wanna point out a detail. In the very last scene post credit with kid, I don’t think that signifies titans will return. When Ymir went inside the tree, she was running for her life being chased to death by those dogs. This new scene is more “peaceful” and the kid is walking alongside the dog that’s acting like a companion. And it seems more like he or she idk is exploring the area. Even if that weird centipede thing exists in there, maybe it’s not titans that form but something else entirely. Ofcourse that assumption has been left to the viewers’ pov but just wanna throw this out there.

jblakk

FYI: In those credit "panels" you see mikasa going back to the tree and the others visiting the tree too. And they show (I believe) Mikasa getting married. And in her funeral its HELLA decorated. So she doesnt die alone and sad. She dies being loved by others, and doesnt forget Eren at the same time. (I also think its implied she marries Jean, but thats more debated than the rest. interpretation wise)... PS yall are the goats. Goodbye to the Studio Gek rookie era. Heres to more journeys down the line with this channel!

Keneizha Rubanarayana

Also, it wasn’t all meaningless. The very first thing eren promised at the beginning of the show was to get rid of titans. And he did just that. The only thing I didn’t like about the ending, manga and anime, is the fact that eren ended up being responsible for his mom’s death, but I guess that’s more of a preference issue than anything. But this is what I told my friend:

Keneizha Rubanarayana
>>121472572

“You know the rest of the ending I think is phenomenal. I don’t think everything was pointless, and “paradis” supposed destruction took place in such a dystopian time in the future that it’s literally not in his hands. He gave everyone a chance to live free and in peace, and it’s up to future generations to uphold that peace, and if they fail, well that’s on them. And isayama’s whole viewpoint is how confrontational human beings are. And like, if you look at the whole world. You know when world war 1 and 2 happened, people exaggeratedly said it’s the war to end all wars, but look what happened not even like 20 yrs later. So the whole ending was hella realistic” Basically what Carter was getting at 😅

DrDinosaur
>>121472321

The specific quote was “the hell we went through has happened over and over”

Jordan Dahlager
>>121472088

*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* (for the episode) Yes. As an anime only since AOT was adapted as an anime its been impossible to avoid all spoilers and so I went into this thinking I was going to hate the ending from all the bad ending rumors but man was I blown away. I loved this ending so much. I am convinced all the haters were just biased and illiterate. There is so much to take away from this last episode. I was also spoiled on flying titan and Mikasa kissing erens head but oh well.

Keneizha Rubanarayana

Also studiogek, I’ve been keeping up with your reactions since the first video. You guys are my fav reactors because your reactions are genuine, honest and fun. You guys are also good at taking a step back and trying to pick up on the themes of the show without being narrow minded. I feel like the audience Isayama intended to write this ending for is ppl like you guys. Thank you so much for sharing and letting us be a part of such an awesome journey! Have fun with the rewatch and I look forward to all ur future content

nans

What a phenomenal show. Isayama is truly in a league of his own for the story he crafted and the world and characters he let us be a part of for the past decade. There is always a feeling of bitterness and a sadness that is hard to explain when saying goodbye, but this finale was on a whole other level. Also the irony of Eren losing his life in a titan's mouth in the end, when the first time he landed in a titans mouth after pushing Armin out of the way we thought he died ?? Crazy. Ahhh there are so many moments to reflect on and puzzle pieces that are scattered throughout almost 100 episodes, it's going to be an emotional rewatch from beginning to end. It's truly been an honor watching this masterpiece with you all ❤️.

nans

I'm sure you guys have been down the reddit rabbit hole post watch, but I thought this post by Poetspas was super interesting! "What an absolutely fantastic finale. Every main character's arc gets rounded out perfectly. - Levi fulfills his last order by killing Zeke, absolving himself for the deaths of Erwin and the Scout outriders. He finally embraces the idea of Armin being necessary to save humanity, forgiving himself for picking Armin over Erwin. After everything, his body is broken, the titan killing tool he had become overextended itself when he killed all of his men, dearest to him in the whole world, in the woods. He now has to live without being that tool, and is all the more peaceful for it. - Zeke, who has scoured his own life in search of any semblance of meaning for his suffering, is confronted with the horrible truth that in doing so, he neglected the sources for all of his joy. His life's goal, the sterilization of Eldians, had been a dismissal of both any possibility of a joyous future and the Eldian race as a whole. As his last act, he rallies the most terrifying avatars of the Eldian race he hates so much. And in his last moment before dying, he enjoys the simplest of small wonders... the nice weather. - Mikasa holds on to the love she has for Eren, her commitment to him, despite his final wish not to do so. And it is through this unfathomable love, this fundamentally unbreakable loyalty to him, that she manages to save him by ending him. The biggest act of love she could ever show him, is killing him. It is the final testament to Eren never being able to grasp how her love for him worked. He thought that she needed to let him go to save him, but she would never. And it is through this that she stops the rumbling. - Armin's final moments of greatness embody his three main characteristics: his incredible mind, his role as Commander of the Survey Corps and his devotion to Eren. Through sheer willpower and critical thinking, he not only manifests himself in the paths, but for his last move he figures out how to come out of there stronger than he was forced in. As the final Commander of the Survey Corps, he asks for not just an army of Scouts to lend them their strength, but an army of fallen Eldian souls through path-manifested titans. In finally standing up to Eren and proving himself his superior, he gets to see the sights he always wanted. And he finally proclaims himself as Eren's equal by owning up to setting him on his path, even though the legacy he claims is one of genocide. - Reiner has always been a shield forced to be a weapon. His soul commands him to protect those he loves, but his mission dictates him to attack those. It has lead to a broken mind, but finally his mission and soul are aligned. He is not charged with killing Eren. His only goal is to protect his comrades while they finish their missions. And at the end of it all, he stands as the shield against the soul of all titans in defence of all of humanity. - Eren is a difficult one for me, because there's so much going on with him that I do not understand. But one thing that stood out to me is what I feel his story has been all about. He's never been as steadfast as Reiner, as talented as Mikasa, as smart as Armin, as charismatic as Jean, as dangerous as Annie, or as beloved as Connie and Sasha. He's always been average. Average but dedicated, and coincidentally gifted with godlike powers. He is a warning to us all what happens when ordinary, unremarkable people manage to get lucky enough to be embued with powers they shouldn't have and are willful enough to use them. He is every world leader with a finger on nuclear codes. He is an omen for the end of humanity. An average person with the potential for divine consequences. - Jean is also difficult for me. I feel like Jean's primary arc has always been that of someone who despises the idea of responsibility, being drawn to it, good at it and thrust into it. His arc got 2/3 of fulfillment by (1) his acceptance of his fate as a Scout, even being proud of it, and (2) after all of these years finally being the one to end Eren (in his Founding Titan form) and bringing their rivalry to its natural end. I feel like it should've been him instead of Armin who rallied the Marleyans to put down their weapons after the Eldians got turned from titans into humans. It would've signified him taking charge of his people's fate and being prepared to shape the future they would share with the rest of the world. - Connie turning into a Titan is poetic considering his mother being turned into one was one of the first steps for Eldia to understand the titans. I've never really understood what his character was actually meant to say, though I've loved him greatly. Maybe the role of a normal person among great people? Maybe he is a mirror to Eren in that regard? The choices an unremarkable person can make to become a great one? In any case, him embracing Jean before they turn into titans is absolutely tear-inducing. " https://www.reddit.com/r/attackontitan/comments/17nn3ml/comment/k7vktbe/

Mango

I started following you on youtube since I saw your aot reaction. Loved your reactions since. Btw asking the commenters did Eren not know that Mikasa will kill him? Only that Mikasa will be the key to end it all, but not knowing how she will end it? I have read the manga but it’s been so long I kinda forgot this was a thing. Ps. Mikasa and Eren VA sings the part where Mikasa is sitting at the tree at the end of the anime

LuvStarburst

I can't believe the journey is done after finding you guys a month after you started the series and getting to experience the episodes with you guys.

YourGuy

First time we see eren and mikasa in the manga, eren dreams of mikasa saying "see you later eren" then when mikasa kills eren she says "see you later eren"

bloosmoke

Great ending to the series. What you guys said about Eren's perception of time in the discussion just suddenly made the whole character click for me. As soon as he got the founding power he suddenly existed in both the past and the future. That means as soon as he touched Historia's hand he was jumped forward to the very last moments of his life which was Mikasa coming for his head. The rest of his life in the present from that point on he just saw himself as a human puppet reenacting all the things he already did. It wasn't like "I have a vision of the future how do I stop it?" It was like "Sorry Armin I already stomped all those people out, there is no "present time" for me, you think Im talking to you in the present but this is the past for me, I just exist in a horrible flashback of my life." In this way he truly was a slave to his fate. Crazy!

EaterOfRice23

as someone who hated the ending in the manga, I gotta say the anime made it slightly better, I think it could have been executed better

asdfg
>>121472294

This is probably a reach but I saw someone say the show was split into 9 arcs like ymir split herself into 9 titans

When carter started to really cry because he knew what was gonna happen :')

sam
>>121472088

yeah for like 2 years all i was hearing was the ending was terrible and was scared to watch it but i personally couldn't have asked for a better ending! it was very realistic if eren did succeed in killing everyone there still would be no peace, conflict and hatred still would exist no matter what... but in the end he did accomplish two of his goals and that was getting rid of titans overall and essentially he wasn't trying to save the world but rather create a world where his friends would live a "happy life" and they did live a good life, war broke out hundreds of years AFTER they all died

FURsona
>>121473520

just curious what kinda ending would you have wanted

Nrock23

I would say it wasn't for nothing since it looked humanity went on for a quite awhile before war again

Elina

There's a quote from Erwin in one of the earlier seasons when he's talking to pixis where he says that the only time that humanity will ever truly stop fighting is when there is one or less people left in the world. Your convo at the end reminded me of this and I feel like that quote really sums up one of the major themes of aot. This cyclical violence and conflict can never truly end because people will never truly be able to agree on everything. Ugh man this story is just so freaking good.

Ant just watching

Just wanna say thank you for making me enjoy this journey more one of the best groups I came across

joe
>>121471264

They are just sharing their own experience. Chill out..

EaterOfRice23

You guys should do an analyzation of the endings, theyre very interesting

Carrie

I feel like I just watched Carter experience every human emotion to ever exist within the span of this one video 😂😭 bro is going through it!!

Yuri

Now I remember how complex and dark AOT is. But those are the beauty of this work. Their first kiss scene brought tears to my eyes. I've been watching since your first video and hyped finishing this wonderful journey with studio gek and everyone!

ssj4rit

Falco talked about memories of a prior bird titan, yet we never saw Ymir summon one, kinda was hoping the anime might at least put that in Snake Titan was cool though

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

The end of a masterpiece. This is why “Akuma no Ko” fits Eren perfectly. It could be translated to Child of Evil or Devil’s Child. It’s so painful when you realize that he was stuck in trying to change something that he started himself (well, it started with Ymir but someone has to enable it). Thank you for letting us go through this AOT journey with you. ❤️

JT

The bird that pulled on Mikasa's scarf at the end is called an Arctic Skua, but also known as Parasitic jaeger

Chrisiyyi

It is kinda a grey ending, it is a sad ending which makes it feel weird for me, specially that it all really didnt matter in the end, whole thing only did matter for the people in that moment/few generations. I wouldnt been able to think how to do it alot better then this though. I wished Eren lived together with mikasa and the rest, but its kinda impossible to end it like that.

Goldy

Guys if I'm not mistaken, are eren and armin literally walking to these places and thats why they are older in each environment or are they skipping around the world instantly and growing up with each scene?

𝓓𝓪𝓷𝓪

What a freaking journey. An era/decade just came to an end. I feel so empty, depressed but happy at the same time. I just... No words man, no words. As always loved your reaction, right from ep1 a year ago till today. What a ride ha? 😭😭😭😭 I don't even know what else to say. As Neal said " Don't be sad it's over, be happy that it happened "😭😭

LeFlaneur

When I first read the ending it seemed that the future war in Paradis happened pretty quickly, maybe a few decades after Mikasa’s passing, but looking at it now it seems like it could even be a couple of centuries. Yes it’s a “downer” ending, but the reprieve seeming way longer than I initially thought feels somewhat less nihilistic than what I got from the manga. Another thing I’m reconsidering now is; who was the “aggressor” in the future war? Who’s mainly responsible for starting the “loop” again? We’ve always seen the story from an Eldian POV and that’s still the case here, so I simply assumed that Paradis was the victim and the rest of the world attacked SPECIFICALLY in retaliation for the Rumbling. Now however, I’m kind of unsure because of Historia words. In the end Eldia is back on top and getting militaristic, and we also know that for most of the in-universe history Eldians were jingoistic except for the 100 years between the exodus to Paradise and the present events. The anime also make the rest of the world seem comparatively more “pacified” than the manga did, so while I initially thought the outside world doubling down on hate, maybe the future war is really an escalation to Eldia getting back into some Eldia nonsense.

BrianTheWoeful

One of the best finales, not just for anime, but of all time

Ratmano

the ending of aot suffers the same inept writing that the last season of got has PLOT ARMOR it makes it so that there are no stakes in it and every tense moment is squandered because you know everyone is gonna live. also nothing gets accomplished in the story so why end it like this?

Synad

The whole debate online whether the ending is good or bad due to Eren not doing 100% feels to me just like Zeke and Armin having that discussion about why to live in the first place. Do you end the life outside of Paradis because the cycle of violence is a human constant, or do you stop and preserve life as a whole because we live for the sake of our moments in time that are special to us and other beings should have the right to experience it as we do? I completely get why the ending is such a hot topic because it really depends on what kind of philosophy the viewer wants to personally follow. The final shot was always going to be the fate of Paradis no matter what happened, because that is the fate of us all in the real world, but how do we get to that point I think what matters and that's what's really interesting when it comes to Attack on Titan - everyone thinks they see it the correct way. I think it's a very mellow ending by design, because the characters live in this cruel world that's not too dissimilar to our own, we just have it easy most of the time living in our big cities behind thick walls and enjoying our comfy internet. The cruelty of life cannot be denied, but like Armin said, we live for the moments that are special for us and that makes it worth it.

Rae

I honestly could not stop sobbing during the second half. The fact that Mikasa is the one who truly frees Ymir is so poetic to me. Eren is who Ymir thought she wanted, as he’s someone who desperately desires freedom and will keep moving forward to achieve it. Mikasa is who Ymir needed, as she’s someone who is truly free and is able to fight for what she believes is right. She's Ymir's antithesis and was able to do what Ymir couldn't. It really just makes Eren's death all the more tragic and heartbreaking 💔

kim odejar

Mikasa married jean (allegedly) and have children with him you can see on the end credits she keeps visiting Eren's grave even after old age with her family.

BrianTheWoeful

I totally agree with Carter’s perspective about the ending montage it is a bit of a bummer that it all seem pointless but from the architecture and scope of that city alone, it seems to have been thousands and thousands of years. All of Eren’s friends lived their lives and most likely passed away far before war and conflict began again. With time, more and more people are born. Ways of livings change. Cultures progress. New art forms and ideas are created. Conflict is just part of life

Reed Stevens
>>121480252

I think it's Jean too because it would give more reason for her husband to go visit the grave of someone she clearly loves way more than him (As Jean would have the background knowledge of everything that happened and her lifetime affections for him/also having bro love and respecting/missing him, but also would be happy to be with her afterwards as he's loved her since early teen years).

BrianTheWoeful

I didn’t think about the tree just being a symbol before but now that the angle has been brought up, I actually think that’s a really good point. Titans don’t exist anymore. It just means to say that war starts once more

kim odejar
>>121480252

Yes it's very logical for her to be married to him. As for all the people he can understand what Mikasa is going through. Though in manga you can see that it's Jean's back but since manga has no color it's just speculation. But glimpsing on the final end credits even it's tiny I also think 💯 it's Jean.

Ale

I have so many feelings, yesterday the whole day at work I was anxious, it's weird to let go something that I had since 10 years ago 🥺 Manga readers didn't like the end back there because of that scene of Eren and Armin just talking like 2 best friends, they couldn't believe Eren was whining and such, I never felt that was out of character, in fact it, we were seen the real Eren after sooo long, I love how petty he is saying that he wants Mikasa to remember him for at least 10 years after his death, it's so pathetic but that is what makes it real for me, he clearly did not want to die, he did not want to have the burden of being humanity biggest enemy but he did. I think a lot of people just misinterpreted that part and hated it based on it. Another thing is that people said Eren became a bird because of that final scene with Mikasa on his grave and made fun of it, not understanding that is just symbolism. But whatever, I'm satisfied with this ending. Just one thing, during the credits, I know it was tiny af but in the Manga you can see it clearly, Mikasa did married and had a child (presumably with Jean) so she did live a good life after Eren's dead but of course she never forgot him, and she die of old age so she did live a long life like Eren wanted :') Thank you guys for joining us on this journey, I'll miss your reactions to the show, but expect some more videos talking about it ♥️

Hippopi
>>121480978

I have to admit I found that one panel about the "10 years at least" really out of place and cringey when I read it, but the anime does a better job at showing that Eren is truly human and most of all, the same emotional boy we knew at the start.

What do you mean "everyone is gonna live"? Let's be honest, Isayama could've taken anyone out but he didn't want the ending to be a complete tragedy. How is it plot armour just because you think it should've ended differently?

Ratmano
>>121479355

so youre telling me that is makes sense that 10 people can take on hundreds of titans without suffering so much as a scratch?

Ameth

I think the scene at the cabin with eren and mikasa happened. But it happened in the paths. Remember how when Gabi shot erens head off, him and zeke spent forever in the paths in the span of like 1 millisecond. I think that happened with Mikasas last headache on Falco, they lived some time in the paths and before they separated Eren told mikasa how to kill him and where he was, which is how she knew where to find him.

Dk

Levi ending the story as a homeless handicapped war hero is too real

Rae

As bleak as the ending is, my personal takeaway is that even though the cycle of violence and hatred will always continue, we have to try our best to not perpetuate it and if we can’t we have to keep trying regardless of what the outcome may be. It’s been repeated throughout the series that human conflict will never cease. There’s a devil in all of us; we’re all capable of violence. So what do we do? We escape the forest and even if we can’t we have to keep trying. I believe that's what the scouts were trying to do. Because remember, they actually had a hand in furthering the Rumbling by helping Eren get to Zeke. Aot has always been about making choices that one thinks they will regret the least. They just didn’t wanna regret not stopping an omnicide. The scouts represent what the Survey Corps stands for and what, I hope, we all stand for: fighting against insurmountable odds for even the slightest chance of an unrealistic idealist world.

Hippopi

The most heartbreaking and powerful moment for me was Armin screaming at his body. All his insecurities that have effected him his entire life, all his hatred is only towards himself. His VA did an incredible job throughout this whole special.

Audreyldo

And i’m crying again

SeCo D. Raw

you should check out all the scenes during the end credit, they still tell the story of the mikasa and the rest of the group in little time skips

Darkfurno

Glad to have taken this journey with you guys! As someone who was somewhat let down by the manga's ending, I still looked forward to seeing this, because no matter what the writing in AOT was like nothing I've seen before and I will always have good memories of it. Only after the anime ending does it truly hit me that it's actually over and it sucks, but I can say the anime did this ending justice, they cleaned up the dialogue and clarified some things that were a bit of a mess in the manga and I'm overall happy to see how it turned out. I would give anything to experience this series for the first time again.

Ameth

Mikasa and Jean married, if we watch that slide show closely with the montages of time passing with the tree. Definitely Jean!

Jimmy Gilligan

It would have been a massive loop hole if paradis didn’t get levelled at the end of the show. It wouldn’t make sense for the remaining 20% to not fight back and take revenge on paradis because historia said the 20% all suffered

Reed Stevens

Glad to see this vid, I subscribed when you guys released the season 1 episode 3 reaction and have been enjoying your content ever since, really cool to all experience aot finale within the same short period of time. Eren is the ultimate tragic hero.

Jimmy Gilligan

That tree is definitely the founders tree that Ymir fell in because eren who is the Titan god is buried under it and it has the big entrance in it just like the old one.

Jimmy Gilligan

Eren never really cared about anyone other than his friends. His goal was to make his friends live long fruitful lives and that’s exactly what he did

Wulfheart

The scenes with Armin were memories that Eren took from Armin until he died. Since Mikasa is immune to this because she is an Ackerman, I interpreted the cabin scene as Eren pulling her into the paths moments before he dies and giving her an alternate reality with him. He ends it by telling her to forget about him and where he is so she can kill him.

Shpitz

I do think Eren calling himself an idiot was minimizing it a bit, the guy is literally, mentally, insane. It makes sense knowing the power of the attack titan and him knowing what he's going to do so long in advance. It's really interesting to me that knowing he was going to massacre humanity - is exactly what put him in a deranged enough mindset to actually do it.

Shpitz

Also I'm glad Isayama didn't go for a happy ending, attack on titan was always down to earth and painfully sober to the worst part of humanity. It's heartbreaking to see their world is still engulfed by war and hate, but we haven't seen anything to suggest it would've healed from that and I think that the logical continuation ):

>>121484849

Except it isn't Ymir's tree, because Eren was buried on Paradis and we saw the tree grow throughout the centuries. It grew into something that looked like Ymir's tree. Especially because we saw Ymir's tree destroyed when she first transformed.

HNadR

I want to experience this again with y'all. So, do post if u ever plan on watching it again.

Rae

Eren is the most tragic and complex character in series. I know the word "complex" has been overused ad nauseam but that's exactly what he is. By definition, a complex or round character is a character that's layered, nuanced, and has beliefs, desires, motivations that are contradictory and conflicting. It's one of the many reasons why we all love him. Eren is both selfless and selfish, caring and callous, and had internal as well as external factors that were involved in his decision to do the Rumbling. We’ve seen throughout the story how he’s capable of loving and caring very deeply for other people especially those closest to him. Yet we’ve also seen a side to him that’s extreme and at times disturbing even in the early seasons. Levi literally called him a monster and not because of his Titan powers. Mikasa said that his Titan was the embodiment of humanity’s rage without even knowing it was him. And during the Rumbling he confessed to Ramzi that he wanted this to happen after seeing that the outside world wasn’t what he imagined from Armin’s book. He said in season 1 that the person who saw those sights from the book would be the freest person in the world and this was then brilliantly called back in the first special when Eren reverted back to his child-self overlooking the clouds with all the destruction underneath him. I think he did it for his friends to give them long lives and to make them look like heroes but also there’s a selfish part of him that wanted to do it. Both reasons contradict each other but they make sense because of what's already been established and aren’t mutually exclusive imo. There’s a fine line between writing a character that’s complex and writing someone who’s out of character and I think Isayama wrote Eren to be a tragic nuanced thought-provoking character. I'm so glad y'all got to experience this incredible story. It's been amazing watching y'alls journey and I can't wait for future reactions. Shinzou wo sasageyo 🤍

Rae

This is just my opinion but the tree being there at the end doesn't necessarily mean that titans will come back. As Zeke said in this episode the reason Ymir created the power of the titans was because she wanted a bigger, stronger body to protect herself from the people attacking her. And she created the Paths because she wanted a world without death where she could be connected to everybody. So all the powers we know of came from Ymir's subconscious desires. If the kid walked into the tree there’s a possibility that he would create an entirely different type of power than Ymir did. And since unlike Ymir who was fleeing for her life and being hunted down by dogs, this kid is exploring with a domesticated dog, so he would likely create a power far less destructive not born out of fear and misery.

Hippopi
>>121477131

I think the ending suited AoT perfectly. AoT has always been a show unafraid to show the reality of humanity and the world, which is why it hits so hard. It's reality that eventually everyone and everything will die, planets will crumble or be destroyed, the stars will eventually burn out, and even black holes will someday cease to exist. Does that mean that nothing matters? Our lives only have meaning to those around us and those who remember us once we're gone. Compared to all life that has ever existed on Earth, humans are a miniscule fraction of a second on the timeline. Compared to the universe itself, we're nothing. Yet we go on living, feeling, loving, fighting and dying anyway, because it feels important to us at the time. In the grand scheme of things nothing and no one matters, yet we were born all the same and are special to have existed in the first place.

Sean Fuller

I’ve been here since S1 and oh what a ride. I avoided reading the manga so I could experience it just the way it started for me. I think the ending was good. It was bitter sweet but that’s what this show and life is about. There will always be war and conflict but the key is that life is about the small things. Eren is the perfect dual sided character. He wanted to save and protect his friends but he also wanted to destroy the world so it would be like what he and Armin read in their book. In the end even though he could see the future and past he couldn’t change anything even if he wanted to. I think this was as good an ending as it could have been. In the end his friends did get to live long happy lives. People live and people die, what matters is living life to 100% and doing what you think is right. Thank you guys for this awesome journey and remember… GIVE YOUR HEARTS

Frida BØ

Loved watching all your reactions to aot, been watching since early this year!🥰 Please watch something more wholesome like haikyu or something after this 😭

Mia Malvik

Next to Anakin and Eren in terms of character quality is Guts from Berserk, yall don't even KNOW 😩

nans

adding another interpretation because this finale is all anybody is going to be thinking about for a while, but the tone difference between ymir getting chased by dogs and running from fear to arrive at the tree compared to the child at the end being accompanied by the dog and having a more curiousity driven approach can mean different possible outcomes in times of war/conflict. ugh isayama the man that u are

Sam
>>121479355

Levi literally ended in a wheelchair and half of the people you’re talking about were titans themselves lol

Ratmano
>>121479355

while i agree that some of the alliance shifters are super strong that doesnt mean they can take on a literal army of shifters like the balance of power didnt shift until armin got out of the paths so either A) plot armor or B) isayama wrote himself into a corner. so even though some of the allies were shifters themself it doesnt change the fact that there were hundreds of other shifters on erens side before they gained their own will and reiners plot armor goes all the way back to s3p2.

Sam
>>121471264

Go be bitter somewhere else Henrique… “someone enjoyed something I didn’t… better change that!” You must be fun at parties.

Sarah

in the end credit scenes where it turns to the modern world having wars the song that is playing is German and it mentions the biblical story of the tower of babel and then it literally goes "history repeats itself" 😩

spidey

We are humans that’s all we know is conflict that will never change unless we all go extinct. It’s sad 😞 but true 😭

ThaDoubleB

Eren says he’s an idiot that wanted to wipe everything away because a part of him did, a part of him wanted an unoccupied world. A part of him wanted to just reach the ocean and finally have freedom, but instead there was a whole world of people that wanted to kill him. But that’s not the reason he did it, he says all that after Armin says “You did all this for us?” he didn’t want any of them to feel the weight of the atrocities that Eren committed, so he just says “I’m an idiot and wanted to do all this.” it’s a lie with a kernel of truth. Armin rejects this though and decides to share Eren’s burden and “go to hell” with him.

HaNo0onat

10 years of my life with aot anime , I remember the first day I watch episode when just released. I was just Watching new anime release and saw pictures of Armin ,Eren and mikasa as kids and thought they looked adorable 😭 and then the horror began . But I loved every part of it , such a goated cast all of them evil and good characters 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Emily

crazy I was 14 when I started watching this anime now I'm 23 so emotional

i watched the 1st episode when it was first released. it's really been 10 years.. feels like the end of a huge chapter of my life. i'll always love this show<3

Henrique I. Pereira
>>121471974

How is it Eren in those moments when in season 4 he is literally crying in front of a kid (ramzi) and stating that the rumbling is to attain his true freedom: an outside world with no enemies, no one living there? In season 4 his resolve is shown again and again, but in this ending he says that he did it all just because "he's an idiot with too much power" when in his inner monologues the literal opposite is shown. I dunno, maybe it's that I rewatched the whole anime recently, I feel like people are a bit bindled by the hype and because it's been a while since they watched the entirety of the show. The more I think about this ending, the more I dislike it. Just sad honestly, was expecting way more consistency.

Jayden Hart

Love your guys reactions. 5 goats

leah

this is a quote from someone on twitter but the “it was all for nothing” argument against the epilogue makes even less sense in the anime. the episode makes it clear that paradis enjoyed at least HUNDREDS if not thousands of years of peace before the retaliation. i personally loved the ending :)

nans
>>121499672

yes! and we don't even know if it was even a retaliation! might've been something completely unrelated, wars break out for much less

Maximum Homerdrive

Think about the camp fire around the end of the final season. Remember how they were cursing the fact that they were being held responsible for bled that their ancestors shed? Pretty much the same thing here. How many generations removed from tragedy can humanity go before fighting again? The goodwill created by Eren was to protect the lives of his friends. He wiped out 80% of humanity for that. He didn't do it for everlasting world peace.

Maximum Homerdrive

btw all those moments Eren explained his rationale to Armin were visits over the course of the series. that's why you see them at different ages when talking

>>121479625

I havent watched their reaction yet but I wanted to scroll through the comments to see if there was a similar discussion about the ending that there is on the internet and this is basically the two sides i’ve seen. As far as my take, i agree with you. People who take the other side are coming from an understandable rational point of view, but were also talking about humans, who are inherently irrational creatures who on some level, some more than others, act in emotional ways. Yeah it sad that the fighting continued after a long time, but just like zeke and armins conversation, everyone made their choices because they we’re fighting to protect something or someone. Their actions arent made any less meaningful from the outcome they couldnt foresee because the characters themselves believed in their own actions, and others after them did too until their dream was fulfilled and in fact it was although temporarily. People can disagree with Erens actions, but they should be able to understand that he did what he thought was correct in order to protect the lives of his friends and the experiences he had with all of them, the same reason why the Marleyan Warriors attacked Paradis in the start of the show.

maeve !!

knowing that this is the last aot reaction from y’all almost made me as emotional as i was watching the final episode! i’ve watched every aot episode of reactions, and it’s been a wild ride. thank you guys so much for doing this, and of course i’ll be staying here for more show reactions!! 🙌🙌

GreetswithJudgement

Awesome reaction as always. I resonate and agree with all you’ve discussed and that is the beauty of AOT. Thank you to you guys for joining the journey and ending it with the rest of us! Thank you to everyone who participated and watched along with Studio Gek! Thank you to the creative team for making a lifelong masterpiece. Bad ending or not, this is the greatest show I have ever witnessed in my life. What a bittersweet ending. My only gripe, Levi deserved a better ending. Maybe not better but I wanted more of him. His ending is very poetic. Fighting all his life, now he can’t fight even if he wanted to! He deserved his tea shop! Can’t wait for your review for this amazing show.

GreetswithJudgement

And yes, Levi is the G.O.A.T of the show. And I could be wrong but the one who has truly thanked him or seemed gracious for everything he’s done for them is Erwin. Yes he was taken care of in the end but I feel like he should have been acknowledged way more from his comrades. But that just shows how beastly he is. He doesn’t need to be acknowledged. He just needs to respectfully rest. His mental strength is just unmatched. He just deserves more. His sacrifices deserve to be rewarded.

Linn

Been here since the start (well on YouTube at least)! Thanks for an amazing journey!

OolongAdesma

I personally think that the power of the titans did come back in the end. we never saw the giant worm thing actually die. I think it retreated to where eren's head was burried. I say this because the tree that the kid stumbled upon in the end credits was way taller than the others just like the tree ymir stumbled upon. Titans don't exist anymore (and ackermans dont have their powers anymore) after eren died because ymir is finally resting so there are no more subjects of ymir. When this kid touches the worm again though he'll probably end up like ymir and he might make subjects that can turn into titans just like she did.

Max Grodman

Been watching along with you guys since like episode 2. Been a great watch thanks for so much entertainment. When I first read the ending I liked it but it wasn’t my favorite, it’s all a lot to take in. But with time and thought it’s only grown on me. And on rewatch it all fits in well imo

TheBookerDeWitt

Where were YOU when AoT finished???

Oum

GUYS HOPE YOU CAN READ THIS BEFORE THE REVIEW SP. - EREN choice: Be it to free his friend or not, eren never had a better choice to begin with. It's either sit to be killed, run far away and watch everyone die, or GENOCID*. People mistaking it as it is a matter of him actually saving his friends or doing it for selfish reasons. However, the "what IF" perspective with Mikasa is actually his real selfish desire. It will lead eventually to everyone's death and his own too, but he was dying anyway (Ymir's curse). Still he chose genocid*. - Armin and Eren convo: As armin said it is indeed pathetic, pathetically realistic. None of us wishes to see his favorite badass character on the ground crying and weeping which why all are hating on it. But it was just him being cruel to himself for one last time bfr the end, he loathe himself for all the things he done, he despised the fact that no matter how powerful he was he still couldn't do much other than kill 80%, blaming it maybe on his "stupidity" as said. Knowing damn well that if not for him, all that peace talk would have crushed Eldia by now. He was just being vulnerable to all the hate in him, not "stupid". - The dreams: Eren was visiting each character in seperate timeline, Armin's one being the most. He needed to explain everything to him, however, with it having a time limit, he divided it into 3 times; as a kid, teenager, and pre-war Armin. - End-credits: The song playing at the end is called "2000 years or 20,000 years from now" which technically means this is way far in the future. It is by no means realistic to expect Eren's sacrifice to last for such a long time, nor do I believe that such war was intended for revenge. It is no surprise if actually these people have already forgotten about what "Eren" or "Titan" is, if they actually know. It is just Isayama proving what the vicious cycle is again and again, as Pixis and Erwin once discussed. Eren achievement: The greatest one being the eradication of the Titans, that alone deserves all the despair we went through. Eren said that he kept moving forward, knowing that Mikasa "actions" would end the curse (which is killing him herself). Ymir sacrificed herself for king Fritz while also sacrificing her own people years after years, while Mikasa chose the lives of the many people over the one she cherished the most (without the genocid* mikasa would have never killed eren, therefore no curse eradication) . Armin said that Ymir made Eldians connected to each, and that's definitely to find the one to end her cycle which started first with Eren (in path) and ended with Mikasa. She was the one going inside Mikasa's head and causing all the headaches.

I was crying my eyeballs out yesterday night when I watched it with a friend , cried my eyeballs out throughout the rest of the day and now I am here to do it again. This show has left an impact on me that no other show will ever leave and it has left a void that cannot be filled by other shows I think. A masterpiece and I am grateful to everyone that participated in making it.

This was an incredible journey and seeing you so hyped about this episode cured my post show depression a little. I will definitely rewatch your reactions some time, it made the whole viewing experience so much better. Can't wait for your S4 review!

HxH, Invincible, FMAB, AOT. They usually drop this many episodes per weekend. Idk why ur salty over this its not big deal guy.

nans
>>121509814

Also AOT and Invincible are longer than usual anime episodes so it makes sense to accommodate this weekend! I absolutely adore hxh but it’s the show that gets the most episodes weekly so it makes sense to cut two eps so that everything else gets atleast something out. They also still need to do avatar whenever they get the chance so it’s a lot

James

It's been quite a journey for these last ten years, and AoT will definitely have a lasting impact for the next few decades. I have a few interpretations of my own for the ending, and for the series in general: In an interview some time ago, Hajime Isayama talked about his experience with growing up on a farm that was surrounded by mountains, and he remembered being fascinated with animals killing other animals for food. While most people, who have never lived on the countryside, would think the idea of living things feeding on other living things is cruel, violence for survival is actually natural in our world. Additionally, and something that is rarely discussed, is the use of technology in this series. "We depend on technology to survive" is not really a common theme in literature, but we initially see people on Paradis Island using technology to fight for their survival, and eventually, we see the Marlians advancing technology to fight against to what they perceive as a threat. However, in the end, instead of technology leading to survival, it has led to death and destruction. This goes in parallel to what's happening in the real world where we're developing technology to help combat climate change, but it's technology that is causing it in the first place. And lets give credit to Isayama for creating a masterpiece of a story. Who ever knew that a 19-20 year old with dreams of becoming a manga artist, and being turned down initially from several publishers, would create a generation-defining piece of work. Isayama has indicted that he is ready to move on from AoT, but he definitely deserves to take break.

Sami Casingal
>>121515573

My tiny brain is having trouble comprehending this. So did Eren know all this from the start? Is that why his father gave him that key and gave him that Titan power because if anyone were to play a key part in eradicating the titans and curse, it’d be eren? And did eren decide genocide was the best option he was given to get the most decent outcome aside from the human conflicts after the Titan power disappeared? And he knew that by doing this, Mikasa would have no choice but to kill him and be the final key to ending it all? Is that what happened here? If so, I guess i understand it a little better. I thought eren became the bad guy for a different reason, but I’m also bad at piecing everything together

Broski McBrosef

can't believe its over, thanks for the incredible experience!

Elijah Martinez

Rewatch AOT IN DUB!!! Believe me it great and easier to digest the dialogue plsss

AKA480.

Guys, with all due respect, we don’t hate the ending because we don’t think about it enough. We think about it deeply and that’s precisely what makes us hate it. Instead of just going on about why I hate it , the YouTube channel ABD did a video on the ending that I highly recommend you guys check out. They go over a whole bunch of things that not everyone thought of and they break it down pretty well I feel. The video came out back when the manga ended but you should be able to follow along since the anime only changed some minor details. And the extra pages they mention in the video already came out and were adapted in the last couple moments of the anime.

It's goes to show we humans cannot avoid conflict whatever it may be. We just never learn from pass mistake and keep on repeating it.

OMG GUYS!!! There is a new show on the frickin level of Arcane! The Gek boys NEED to watch it here. Just look at this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsaBrbE1Yrc It's called Blue Eye Samurai. I have NEVER seen this high level of cinematic animation. It uses 3D so artistically that it works wonderfully. The choreography of the fights is GODLIKE. I have already seen 6 of the 8 episodes and IT IS INSANE.

came to write exactly what you just wrote ; it hurts but makes sense

Wiame
>>121480840

the thing is , titans didn't exist also before Ymir went to the tree. which makes me question : is Ymir even the first who got the titan powers? maybe it's an endless circle where one finds the powers , this all happens. there's peace . conflict starts again and another one finds the damn tree. that's how i thought when i saw the panel

It has been an incredible journey having you all together and finished this show. So nostalgic.

Loved watching this entire series over again with you guys and finishing it. If you go back and watch Episode 1 Season 1 it's insane how different you guys are compared to now. Truely an epic memory ill always have.

Mattchu

Love the video as always! I’m missing atla tho when u guys posting that?

A_Daddy Daichi

Sooo many things to say but one thing is to me, the ending shows what could happen after everything. Unless Isayama confirmed that is what happened after Mikasa died. Eren did what he thought was the right choice mainly for his friends. Doesn’t mean war is non existent anymore.

Alyson Loza
>>121483034

That scene got me good. I've always had a soft spot for Armin. Truly incredible.

Mysterious Figure

The thing I dont get is how is it explained that Eren influenced Dina Fritz eating his mom when at that point Eren never made contact with Dina? If Eren being the coordinate is what makes him able to control other titans, how did he control Dina without touching her, even if he saw the whole timeline all at the same time past/present/future... the physical contact thing being required to make other titans do what he wants still hasnt happened during the time Dina Fritz ate his mom. So how is that explained? Unless, he used the Founder's power in the future to control her actions in the past? These time paradox explanations are always a bit silly but that's the only way I can understand him being able to control Dina to make her eat his mom in the past and not Bertholdt.

Baconstrip

Something I love about the boy finding the tree at the end: this time around, it's just a boy exploring in the woods with his dog, not a child slave running away getting hunted by dogs. It gives a bit of hope that, despite the cyclical nature of it all, things can get better.

Baconstrip
>>121540242

The same way he influenced Grisha "from the future" (not really) from the Coordinate, which exists outside of time. Except at that point it was just through Grisha's future memories of him, but once he has full control of the Founder's power, he seems to have free reign.

Mysterious Figure

Although, if the founders power can affect the past from the future, couldnt Eren have just tried changing events by manipulating the past and thus creating a future exactly as he wanted? I mean there are infinite possibilities this way right? Why is the vision of the future he saw by touching Historia absolutely absolute? Also, attack titans power is actually to be able to see the experiences of all the previous and future attack titans right? I just dont get why is that future so absolute? Is there any situation before in the story Im forgetting where some of his visions of the future were changed? The more Im thinking about it, it feels like the attack titans power of seeing all the past and future experiences of other attack titans and the founder's power of being able to affect events in past/present/future, those two powers are at odds with one another because they almost seem to cancel each other out if you could just change the past infinitely no?

Rip Darth Maul

People, who don't like the ending thought about it for 2 years and have heard all the arguments that you presented and many more and still decided to hate the ending, because of its objective writing flaws.

Jocelin
>>121540946

I believe the only future Eren saw that would suffice was if titan powers were to be eliminated. To do so, Ymir has to be put to rest. Ymir has been a slave to King Fritz for 2000 yrs because as revealed, she loved him. When Ymir originally died, Fritz wanted titan powers to survive and be passed down. Ymir upheld his wish by making the titans in the Paths. If Ymir is not put to rest, then she'd continue to make more and titan fear would continue. When Eren has his talk with Armin, he reveals it is Mikasa's doing that will free Ymir. The moment Mikasa ends Eren and expresses her love with a kiss, Ymir was watching. This moment is what frees Ymir. The reason exactly why this moment was important for Ymir is up for interpretation. Even if Eren had done differently to change the past, if this moment hadn't happened, then Ymir would still be a slave creating more titans. Titan powers had to be gone for Eldians to have some future and not be feared for what they can become.

Raph

That reunion scene between Mikasa, Armin, and Eren got me so emotional, especially when Armin screamed. In that moment I'm sure Armin and Mikasa felt the most pain they've ever felt.

Oum
>>121515573

Nah it's fine, I can say all this bcs I have watched AOT for so many times. Eren knew what was coming from the day he kissed Historia's hand, he still didn't believe so and tried his best to find other alternatives. Time proved him wrong again and again, after testing his fate so many times and having his head all messed up with those past and future memories, he chose genocid*. Grisha genuinely wanted to show his little son the basement, however, after the fall of the wall he had no choice. He did what he did due to the memories eren selectively showed him, and knowing damn well how ignorant Eldia was and how powerful Marley is. They needed a winning card, and eren was the quickest alternative to avoid the massacre coming for them (Grisha was in death door at that time). Not because he knew about the eradication of the Titans. Eren knew that Mikasa's choice would lead eventually to the titan eradication, however, as he stated with Armin, he didn't know how or why. He knew his death was certain, but didn't know that actually Mikasa will be the one to kill him and by doing so, she will end the curse. He did what he had to do knowing its the only way to lead Mikasa to that "choice" and eventually get the best outcome out of the worst. I still do not wish to ignore his raw feeling, as he cried and stated he wanted to actually wipe everything. Eren did have those thoughts indeed, however, he can never hide his genuine sacrifice with his hatred towards himself. He certainly wanted to live, but genuinely chose death.

He did try changing it. He said he tested it over and over but it always played out exactly how he saw it.

That scene with Armin screaming triggered my trauma when I saw my spouse not being alive anymore because of cancer 5 years ago. It sounded too similar to reality. I really couldn't handle this show continuing anymore because it was just too real for me so often. Life can really suck and you have no idea how much it hurts until it actually happens in real life. Despite of all the death you tend to witness of the people around you, it only REALLY sinks in and you understand the horror of it once it happens to someone you LIVE with every day and is the love of your life...

Just found out that the Ed song was sang with mikasa's va and eren along with revo from linked horizon

Resubscribed to watch this with you guys! Personally I think the ending was perfect. It wrapped up the story nicely and stayed true to the theme of moral dilemmas and an imperfect world. Eren was a slave to freedom because take to it's logical end point and you need to be free from everyone else, hence the unpopulated world he and Armin wanted to see and the desire to wipe away the resentful humans. He was also just an idiot with power as he said and power corrupts. As for the credit scenes, peace doesn't last. You have to keep fighting for it which is the paradox. It represented the cyclical view of history: Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.

Would you be able to link that video here? I tried searching and couldn't find it, would be interested watching that.

"Reiner, tell me. Why did my mom have to die?" It’s crazy looking back on this conversation knowing Eren was the one who led Titan Dina to his mom.. to save Bertholt.. to save future Armin.. to get to this moment.

asapvarg

Resubbed just to rewatch this ending and finish this reaction/watch series with you guys, glad we could all share in this wild experience. So sad it's over but grateful to have lived through it. Keep up the great reaction content boys

Henrique I. Pereira
>>121545417

Yup. It's crazy how contradictory Eren is in this ending when you look back at his conversation with Reiner ("why did my mom get eaten that day", "I will push forward until my enemies are destroyed"), and his breakdown in front of that kid, ramzi ("when I found out about the outside world I was dissapointed"), and during the rumbling ("this is true freedom"). According to this ending, all of this was an act and he didn't knew what he was doing, meaning he was putting an act even in his own internal monologues too which is something that doesn't make any sense lmao.

Sami Casingal
>>121515573

Wow thanks for that thorough explanation. That answered all my questions 😁

Henrique I. Pereira
>>121545417

Also Eren and Mikasa relationship becoming the central point of the ending even though it had literal 0 development is weak as hell too.

Rip Darth Maul
>>121545417

Right. I really expected more nuance from people like Carter or Brig who really seemed to think about certain elements and questioned the forming of the alliance.

Silvana Salinas

If you guys rewatch this show I will 100% rewatch it. The second time you watch this show you’ll see foreshadowing in season 1-3

Stevetheiguana
>>121545417

Ymir waited 2000 years to be inspired by a woman breaking free from an "abusive relationship", and Mikasa was the first one in all those years to do that? If Eren can see the future, and all titans derive from Ymir, couldn't she also have that ability? If Ymir saw this all happen, and all these possible outcomes, why did she need to let people die from titans for 2000 years, 80% of the world die to the rumbling, just for her own satisfaction to watch Mikasa's "choice".

studiogek

Love you all and all your comments🥹 What a special show

Toff

been an amazing journey, watched from the first day you released the first aot reaction til now and I’ll be staying! yall are the goats

e riv

Levi finally shedding a tear gets to me every time. I'm glad this journey has ended for all of us.

msanta23

It's been an honor to watch it all together. Thank you guys.

Verletzt

So sad AOT is over. I read the Manga so knew how it was going to end, but was still epic. The music when the Scouts first attacked Eren was incredible! Got me so pumped.

Yuri

I've been listening to the AOT soundtrack over and over again. The song for the scene where Levi salutes the Survey Corps is TheDOGS, which is included in the season 2 soundtrack!

morena

REMEMBER!!! S.1-E.1 of AOT tittle that says "To You, in 2000 Years: The Fall of Shiganshina, Part 1" that tittle defines the ending of this episode. Since, S.1-E.1 we saw Erin waking up on that same tree where he was buried on this very last episode. Ironic isn't? Therefore, the PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE is still happening all over again as you can hear both Erin and Armin talking and hugging having their LAST conversation they said "I'll see you again, in hell" and they'll miss each other. Also, the events happening on the OUTRO of the final episode was the "Hell" happening all over again (tree growing, futuristic war, nature taking over, a random stranger finding the gateway to the big tree where Erin was buried also where the "titan worm" was found etc.). Well, basically from beginning to end, they're dancing on an INFINITE LOOP that they cannot escape! A "Hell" that would never END!

LeavBot

I love aot so much and I loved the ending overall but I still am a bit conflicted abt the message just being a pretty pacifistic person. The idea of world peace is def a very complicated topic. Also I feel like the thing with Eren is that he isn’t wise or really mature I guess. He was still a kid that was just mad at everyone which sounds corny asl but I think it’s true. I could talk abt the ending and the show forever but for now that’s enough 😭😭 btw I’ve been watching since u guys were 9-11 eps in and I’ve loved the whole experience 🙏❤️

LeavBot
>>121619222

Another thing abt eren is that yeah it is a little dumb that he killed 80% of the world bc he’s just an idiot and immature but I guess u could look at it like a message about what happens when such crazy power gets into the wrong hands

Dwob

What an end to a journey… Glad I was able to experience this story again with you guys 😭 it’s been wild

Kian Dehghan

Amazing ending although I was so emotionally confused lol, realising the GOAT of the show eren was a hero and then him dying, and Mikasa being without eren in the end is so depressing. It hit so hard because the 3 characters who have been with us from the very start aren't all with us at the end. Also 80% of humanity dying is a big downer in general, but none of that means that the ending was bad, just how deeply invested I was in the characters and world.

sushi

i ugly cried so much

khalxeesi

such a full circle moment <3 loved watching along with you guys

Pulse rifles suck in pve

I think it'd be cool if you guys go back and reaction to the EDs again and pay close attention to whats happening on screen. It's mindblowing how much they spoon feed us information all the way to the end but someone that doesn't know any better wouldn't have a clue.

giselle

I don’t mean to make this show even sadder but in the end credits we can see ppl visiting eren’s grave. It’s seems like armin was the last to visit 😭 so that means they died in order they raced to the tree.

"I subbed to Studio Gek, and I have no regrets about that. About entrusting the future to those kids with the same look in their eyes as you."

Bryce Jones

The "idiot with power" line was great because throughout the entire show Eren has always been a crybaby and selfish. He's always been behind while Mikasa, Armin, and everyone else excelled ahead of him but he always believed he was special and would do the right thing if he had power. But as we see, he was nothing special and couldn't change anything with power. In the end his friends were the only thing that mattered no matter the cost. He got what he wanted because they all got to live long lives. Great ending IMO.

ChrisBrah-4

u guys JUST skipped the 1 second right after the end where it literally said "THE END" instead of "to be continued" 😭😭

Alyssa

So emotionally drained my dudes, this show is a tragedy and so beautiful. Won’t think about anything else for the next month 😔

Brittney Wright

Wow, what a journey it's been so amazing to watch you guys go from one to the end!

Crowderr

So good to have watched this show with you guys. Thank you for sticking with it and keeping it all up you guys have improved my weekends for over a year now. Top men and thoughtful genuine funny people. Never get to watch anime with anyone as everyone I know is either sports or going out drinking so its been like i've been able to enjoy it all with someone for a change and although I still can't talk about it listening to your opinions is close enough. Can't wait for you guys to get further into FMA:B. I'm still 50/50 with that and this. Cheers

Connor O'Hara

My big takeaway with Eren's motivations was that he DID do it to save his friends, but the only way he foresaw to do it was by slaughtering 80% of humanity. The reason he believes this was the only outcome available to him is that he couldn't think of a different solution. Some part of him deep down wanted to hurt the people who wronged him, the outside world. Because he was so single-mindedly motivated by revenge, violence was the future that his choices predestined for him. That's why he calls himself an idiot. Maybe if someone else had the power of the founder instead, there would have been a different outcome. Eren is being self-aware about his motivations here, and saying that it's his fault that there wasn't a better way.

Jackski

Now do a rewatch of the series and notice all the things that link up to the ending. It's crazy

kiiturii

Carter said it but just to clarify, Falco's jaw was different because he was originally turned into a titan through zekes spinal fluid, so his shit got mixed up with royal blood, he was seeing memories from zeke on the ship and had a vision about soaring through the sky, that's why they decided to try the transformation

kiiturii

it's like Carter is speaking through my brain in the post ep review, agree with him 100% on everything lol

kiiturii
>>121949395

and that's why Reiner was always saying that Eren is the worst person to have stumbled upon this power. He knew all the way back in season2 that this would happen.. man, imagine the fear when he saw Eren control the founders power even for a moment

kiiturii
>>121952496

I wanna see their reaction to the ending foreshadowing in the first season lmao

Cooper Anderson

nah carter is so real for the tears at that ending part fr

Alinto

I think its a near perfect ending for a near perfect show. A happy ending wouldn't fit the story or vibe of the whole series, all the way through AoT has been a brutally honest story covered in realism (like the things that happens is what would've happened). I think the reason for eren doing what he did is more of just... He is the most static character in the series. All the way through he has been the "Suicidal maniac" always looking of in the distance as Armin says. and i think the "thing" (worm thingy) is some kind of metaphor for life from what Zeke says to armin.

TerraZetzz

80% of humanity sacrificed to get rid of titans.

KeterLordFR
>>122463172

The creature that gave powers to Ymir and then to Eren is based on the Hallucigenia, an insect that went extinct millions of years ago that we found fossils of. It's one of the biggest mysteries ever found, as scientists can't seem to understand how it lived, what the purpose of its appendices was, and even where was its head, if it had any. It was nowhere near as big as the one in the anime though, but it was confirmed that it's the source of the creature's design.

KatyRose

Carter is the smartest one in the room

sarah

i cry everytime i see this

Addstir

Special 1 9/10 > ending downgraded my overall rating to a 5/10. Too many plotholes, boring ending which is at this point what I expect from great stories > MC dying for the sake of it. Then he doubled down, showed Mikasa crying over him 3 years later and just made me more mad > Then war against the island for centuries(?), so it was all pointless anyways, how about since as a viewer I don't care about the remaining 20% of humanity (strangers), we just let him kill those, then wipe Eldians memories of it, and then also remove the titan powers and kill Ymir, boom, happy ending > I streamlined it, but just write it out in a detailed manner. Or if you want your fatalistic dark ending, at the moment she sliced through his neck and we saw Armin's memories etc, instead just rewind time back to when Eren asks Mikasa "what am I to you", and have a different scene, then fast forward through a happier future. that way you give the people who want their sad cuckold ending the thing they want, and then if they don't want a happy conclusion they may simply hit pause and end it there.

livewiki

I'm sure it has been said before, but the true tragedy of what Eren is is the fact that though he longed for nothing more than freedom, he was the only one that never was. He was a slave to pre-destination. He saw the future, and nothing he could ever try to do would change the way things happen. He longed for freedom the most, but he was the only one who could never truly be free of the ultimate oppressor: his own will

DJ
>>139575227

Your ending also has plot holes. How does he just kill Yimir without he himself dying? And imagine thinking that him wiping everyone's memories means a happy ending. Humans are humans and will just find things to fight amongst themselves about. We already saw hienuous things happening on Paradis island itself, even before the wall got destroyed.

localnomad
>>139575227

This is such a wild misunderstanding of basically the whole show lmao. The entire point is that, as you said, "it was all pointless anyways." That's literally how war works in the real world. They called World War I "the war to end all wars," then we immediately had World War II. Even if you wipe everyone's memories of the Rumbling and pretend nothing happened, the remaining people will still have conflict and, eventually, wars. That's just not something you can change, even with godlike powers.

2024-08-12 20:14:40 My favorite theory is that the creature Ymir touched to create the titans, inherently made everything as big as it could, which is why the tree it's found in was so big. Also I love that the end credits showed that Mikasa did wait 10 years before moving on, then you see her visit the grave again with a husband at her side, that looks a lot like Jean.

Marvel tier ending. But people love capeshit so no surprise, many liked this like many like GOT's ending.

JeanJean

I still to this day cannot believe this ending was written by the same person that did the first 3 seasons and everything up to the rumbling. It's just so American in tone. I mean yeah Attack On Titan has always had a very western aspect to it but this is modern Hollywood marvel tier. Sad to see because otherwise the show would probably not be the forgotten cultural relic it has become now. People can say anything they want, you can create hype and you can say it's the best ending in unison, but what you can't fake is how something stands the test of time. And the only people that called these last episodes a success are the same ones calling Jujutsu Kaizen a masterpiece or whatever show is the modern next big thing. When you fuck up an ending because you stopped caring as an author, unfortunately people just stop caring too. It's a shame because despite some lackluster moments, it had everything going for it up to the rumbling.

Your suggestions are bad but you are spot on. I personally don't think all the ideas by themselves were poor, I think they were poorly executed mostly. The whole final fight was too convenient, Isayama somehow wanted a final epic fight against extremely powerful opponens but didn't want anyone in the cast to lose their life. Destroys suspension of disbelief, especially when you remember how easily literally anyone at the start of the show, including the best ODM gear users could be done in by any little titan at any given moment. We're so far from what made the show actually charming in it's beginnings. Armin was cringe to the end offering no actual coherent discourse and solution only rambling buzzwords about cherishing life as if this show was meant for toddlers and that specific message had not been delivered at least a billion times already by every grandma ever. Armin pretends the only problem with Eren is his hate, ignoring the urgent and impossible problem of their imminent destruction. Isayama couldn't depict Eren's crumbling stoic facade as anything but as him crying like a baby. Isayama has always had a tendency to portray mature adult characters as children with no emotional maturity. In the beginning it worked fine because the characeters were fighting lovecraftian tier horrors beyond this world, and the cast was young. But in season 4 it just became redundant and rather ridiculous, I couldn't stand their pathetic whining. The soldiers fighting normal wars were certainly afraid but they weren't having psychological breakdowns all the time. Isayama failed to make the character's sense of relief coincide with the grim faith of the world. Everyone's happy, but why exactly? The ending is supposed to be nothing but a clash of ideals by this point since most of the world is already eradicated. So ok, your ideals won, most of earth is still genocided though and Eren is dead. Isayama apparently appreciated his season 3 erwin vision of his dead comrades idea so much he decided to exploit the hell out of it. He uses that specific trope at least like 4-5 times in season 4, it just felt cheap honestly. Hange sees the dead, Levi sees the dead, Jean and Connie see Sasha. It's just so retarded, insincere, overdone. Also what do they even know? How can they even know that this is what their dead comrades would have wanted in the first place instead of agreeing with the yeagerists. Seems like projection for me to legitimize their own actions mostly. It made sense in the context of Erwin and also Levi in the forest doubting his actions to save Eren, but after that it's silly and cheap. I could go on with this but it already looks too much like an actual essay for a comment no one will probably read.

Localnomad That still does not excuse these 20% left. There was just no justifiable reason for Isayama to leave that hanging there as if this was a good result. Especially considering these 20% would be the reason they slaughtered more of their comrades, including their best friend, endangered their own lives and most importantly the fact these 20% remain means that the world is mostly destroyed anyway but at the same time the island of paradis is still threatened by the others, more than ever since the resentment for the island is probably at it's highest. There is just no reasonable explanation in the end for why the main cast is fighting Eren. If you really wanted to resolve the problem of continuous conflict, there were other ways to go on about this without it being illogical, like showcasing the destruction of Eldia in the future by the hands of Eldia. No need to have 20% living, just show Eldians continuing to live on until their self-destruction. Another one could have simply been a a dark twist of fate where the colossal titans also end up rumbling Eldia. There were many ways to go on about this in smart ways, Isayama just wasn't able to let go of his love for marvel and capeshit.

Jokes on you, a lot of people still talk about it, and even if it was subpar it still hit some nice emotional beats and tied a lot of the major themes together. Plot armor and difficult concepts in literally the last episode doesn't make a 10/10 show be forgotten just because you want. It's still a masterpiece.

Attack on titan is amazing and probably in my top 5 despite the awful ending but 10/10 is such a reach. Isayama had great novel ideas, knew how to entertain his audience, but unfortunately as a writer he still very much lacked some maturity and I couldn't help but cringe so many times because of that. It's a great manga but it is nowhere near a 10. I wrote a post under Addstir's comment where I mention some of the problems with the final arc if you're interested, I don't have a problem with most of the ideas by themselves but rather with the poor execution. People still talk about it but let's be honest it's nothing out of the ordinary if you compare it to the amount of discussion for other shows. This is because the ones who fuel discussion are the faithful fans of a show, who end up becoming a minority when the show in question has hype in the mainstream. When an author decides to give up on those to prioritize the mainstream audience, you get slop that pleases everyone and is easily forgotten. I was there when the final scans were released, not all of them of course but a significant enough chunk of those fans at the time were either disappointed or felt the ending was underwhelming. It's the fanbase who perpetuate discussion and activity, not the tourists. The show is still mostly discussed through content creators to farm engagement with shorts they piss out to get some juicy views and such but genuine discourse is not more prominent in comparison to any other popular show.

I found you guys from your season 1 ep 1 reaction and then I got distracted by your hxh and GoT reactions (which I finished/up to date). I'm currently recovering from an ACL surgery and I just spent the last 3 days watching these. So happy to rewatch these with you all!!! It's been quite a ride! I loved hearing all your perspectives and seeing all the emotions this anime can bring!

Hardly an awful ending. Everything up until the last chapter was fine, I agree the last chapter and the resolution had plenty of flaws. But people also grossly overreacted. I still think most of the ideas and themes were executed well, just a poorly fleshed out ending and some unnecessary ‘retcons’. Like why did Ymir’s story have to be about love? Came out of nowhere, and if the goal was to link Ymir to Mikasa it falls flat because Mikasa wasn’t as fleshed out as she should’ve been. So I agree there were plenty of flaws with the ending, but calling it terrible or acting like ruined the show is just immature. Also the reason people didn’t talk about attack on titan as much is more to do with the horrible advertising and pacing. They would’ve been better off taking like 3 years to animate everything than releasing the last season in such a staggered, honestly baffling format. I seriously think that taking more time and making sure everything looked perfect would’ve been better. For example, Levi vs Zeke in the forest was nearly as hype as in the manga. I think it’s clear that the reason for the disparity isn’t necessarily writing but what I feel was a pretty sizeable mismanagement of the final season. I’m not someone who hated on MAPPA or the CGI, but comparing the first three seasons to this last one, it’s really no contest (although I do think MAPPA had some beautiful art).

just because you dont like it, it doesnt mean that its bad. I've seen you complain before. Why did you keep watching then? How about you try to write it better? I bet there's still gonna be people that wont like it. You cant please everyone. Get over it and move on.

Yo Dani

poor Levi.. he kept getting nerfed lmao to make way for the side chars

now that i finished the anime again, i can say how dumb you actually are.. its a rollercoaster of emotions and so many pieces connected between episodes and seasons. where else you fking see that? You're just a hater because you didnt get the ending YOU imagined.

Alan Bun

Out of interest, do you guys still have part 1 up on Patreon? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
