The AOT Anime is the finalized version of his story, I'm so glad that the last talk between Armin and Eren was fleshed out/refined and making it more sense in the anime compared to the manga

Very interesting and cool how Isayama felt like he couldn't/shouldn't change the ending that he set in stone from the beginning, because he realized that he in a sense was like Eren who was unable to change the future he already foresaw. I like that parallel between them

The fact that his man has never written or worked in anything other than Attack on Titan blows my mind Absolute Genius

The scene where the colossal Titans pushes the masses of people towards the cliff, and the women desperately trying to save her baby by passing it from one person to the next, while everyone faces imminent death, gave me goosebumps.

Armin doesn't just blame himself for the attack on Liberio's harbor. In his conversation with Eren, Armin specifically points out that had he not (when they were both kids) shown Eren his books and told him stories from his grandfather about the world beyond the walls, Eren would never have gotten into his head to pursue his dream of ultimate freedom, thus setting him on the path of the Rumbling. By his own internal logic, Armin sees himself as being just as responsible for the Rumbling as Eren.

One thing I do like (that the anime did better than the manga). Is that it shows more time passing in between the end of the war and when paradis gets destroyed. It still shows the message. That war perpetuates. But it makes it seem a little more hopeful. That eren at least bought a few hundred years of peace (up for debate how long it was)

I have no words to describe how much I'll miss this anime, and how amazing it is. What a masterpiece

Even with all the power in the world, the only thing Eren could guarantee was a peacefull life for his friends nothing more. He couldn't change human nature. Hate and war will always be a part of humanity. Enjoy the small things in life

Attack on titan still hurts inside my soul. But its beautiful and worth it. The emotional rollercoaster that the show takes you on is unparalleled. The complex characters and their struggles resonate deeply with viewers. The breathtaking animation and epic battle scenes leave you in awe. The thought provoking themes and intricate plot keep you engaged till the very end.

The line "Eren Lives and gets the girl, Armin gets the Annie, "And Pieck becomes my Wife". Last One Got Me Dying.

A lot of authors start with the endings. Normally starts as a short story of an event that the author is inspired by and wants to get it on the page. Then, they start at the beginning and think ‘how do I get there?’ Thus begins the process.

mikasas pain is almost tangible , the ending is perfect imo. thank u isayama for writing this masterpiece! it’s tragic but also an amazing work of art,

As a writer who was inspired by this series…holy fuck. The ability currently to relate to him. Humanizes him and gives hope for my own. Writing is a vent and a way to be free to do what you wish….but when your so minded to what you want. Sometimes you gotta let bad things happen to truly have the freedom. Freedom to do horror or warmth. To relate personally to a character is such a happy feeling.

I RESPECT & LOVE how Isayama lived & ended that phase of his life with AoT throughout. The fact that he says “when I was younger” shows that he knows that he’s changed through the years as a mangaka BUT he didn’t want to betray his young self that started out as a mangaka that was creating AoT & hope that people will enjoy it from how he originally planned it to be ❤ A very genuine feeling from anyone that starts their journey of creating 😌 This gives him a literal NEW ARC as a mangaka & storyteller. I look forward to see what he does next! 😄

Ymir Fritz died an untimely death after being chased by a dog, but I liked the description of the last boy running alongside the dog and reaching the tree. This scene alone is redeeming.

I can see why a certain portion of the fanbase dislike the ending, but I can never get behind the narrative a lot of them push where the ending we got wasn't the one Isayama wanted to make and that he was 'forced' to change it. Yams knew exactly what he was going for in the last few chapters, you don't have to like it, or even accept it, but to go so far as to lie to everyone else that it was suppose to be radically different or even worse yet, that he made it 'bad on purpose' is absolutely insane.

Isayama's answer about his story with AoT being similar to Eren's story within AoT gives the "Freedom" panel so much more meaning. Isayama felt the freedom of writing now that he had arrived at a true moment in the story that cemented his original ending.

Im so fkn sad that Attack on titan is over, it was sucha good series, probably the best anime and series that I have watched. I really got stuck to it and will always have a place in my hearth. Thank you Isayama for this great adventure and story.

Isayama deserves better fans
