AOT left a big impression.. one that I won't forget about years down the line. A lot of people are caught up in experiencing perfection that they forget the impact that this story had and how difficult that is to achieve in this genre. That being said, the story should've ended earlier on because it was cycling through the same theme over and over again.. Personally, the magic disappeared as soon as I realized the underlying meaning was about the cycle of revenge/war so how it ended was kind of trivial. I don't think this series deserves such low ratings though considering there are relatively wayy worse manga out there..

Don't listen to the critiques from manga elitist.. They have exquisite taste and nobody can satisfy them..
This is a modern classic..
Plenty of plot twists, easter egg and memorable moment..
10/10 for me and other like minded...

Initially, I gave this manga a fairly high score. However, after I thought about it for a bit the amount of plot holes and/or stupid plot points ruined my overall "ending feeling". Don't get me wrong, I still think this is one of the better mangas out there and it is worth the read but I feel like the mangaka, while talented in some aspects, was lacking in keeping things within lore he already established or just simply didn't explain why something happened but rather is just did.



It almost felt rushed towards the end.

Epilogue is ok.

The story was a really good read with plenty of twists and foreshadowing that kept me wanting more. It had multiple likeable characters with their own flaws and strengths which is lacking in many mangas.

Overall the art was decent, the story was great. Though like most manga I’ve read, the epilogue and ending arc were a bit of a let down compared to the rest of the series.

AoT might be one of the most intriguing series of its kind. Although Titan is basically human, it is in the end basically a monster with their sheer size and superiority over humans. Still throughout the series, humans fought and found a way to go toe to toe with the monsters and it has been where the strength of the series lies.

Still the way the author choose to unravel the Titan mystery and the way to solve the innate problem of the threat Titans bring to the world, was rather poor. One development after another feels like something thought on spot rather than a fruit of a long planned plot coming out together in the end. Such can be felt throughout where one character would make dubious decision, and then another, and then another one.

Even so, the author at least managed to keep it tense until the end and cover for those dissatisfaction. Isayama-san has all the right to pick the end of his story, and I won't criticize him for that, since, unlike for example TG:re, AoT's end is a wholesome. In short, it is great action series, but the plot is so so.

Really bad.

Eren basically throws away whatever he has stood for and...

The plot twists throughout the whole series, the characters, the story, everything is simply a masterpiece, but a certain Hajime Isayama decided one day that he wanted to do the last arc the way he did, and tell the final chapter the way we told it.

The last arc and the last chapter are simply absurd,

I did my best to like the ending but it contradicts pretty much 9/10 things that ever happened throughout the story. It's not a bad ending, but that is if it were to be the ending of a 6/10 manga and not a masterpiece like SNK was (until that last arc).

Way to ruin a manga. Just read until chapter 124 and then pretend the rest was just a dream. Anyways, thank you Isayama sensei, you made a great manga, and it was a pleasure to read it (Until just before that last arc ugghhhhhhhhhhhh)

Quick reminder before you read my review: Are you reading/re-reading the manga? Do yourself a huge favor and listen to this playlist on Spotify while you're reading. The soundtracks are fucking amazing and match perfectly with the story. If you want to fully immerse yourself in the story, especially during the emotional and battle scenes, then listen to the soundtracks. Trust me on this.

After almost a decade, Attack on Titan is finally over. Despite all the debates regarding the ending, this series is undeniably a classic.

The story starts with humanity vs titans. Good vs bad, simple as that. But as you start going deeper into the story, the lines between good and bad, moral and immoral, become increasingly blurred. Everyone has their own reason for doing the things they do, for giving their lives for their ideologies and beliefs, for fighting tooth and nail to protect their homelands and the people they love, regardless of what the outcome might be.

The whole point of Attack on Titan is that nobody is just good or evil. Everyone is just trying to survive the cruelty of this world, the cruelty that we are all different, and that these differences will ultimately always result in conflict. The cycle of hate and distrust inevitably repeats itself, because it's human nature.

When I reached the ending of this series, I stopped and watched some of the early episodes of the anime. It hit me like a ton of bricks just how much these characters from the 104th Squad have changed. They're no longer the kids getting yelled at by Instructor Shadis during military training, no longer kids feeling helpless by their own powerlessness. They're fearless warriors now, who have gone through their own personal hell, and would go through another one if it meant saving their comrades. Idk man. Seeing their growth had me crying like a baby.

I'm satisfied with the ending. Yes, it's not perfect, and there should've been two or three more chapters explaining things in greater detail. Overall, though? I think it was realistic and brilliant. I can't wait to watch all this shit unfold in Season 4 Part 2, with the soundtracks and all that. Prepare tissues because we're gonna cry all over again fam. Hopefully Isayama would add more details in the anime.

Now, time for spoilers! I've also gathered a few comments from Reddit to explain the ending of AoT:



P.S. If you've never listened to So Ist Es Immer, click this link. It's the perfect song for Levi and his comrades.

I still have so much more to say about the other characters, but my comment is long enough as it is. So I'll end my essay here, with a conversation between Mikasa and Eren which never fails to make me emotional:

"And you... you wrapped this scarf around me. Thank you."

"I'll wrap that around you, as many times as you want. Now and forever.. as much as you want."



Thank you, Mr. Isayama, it has been an absolutely incredible journey. Shinzou wo Sasageyo.
