RE: Anime Review ~ Attack On Titan: A Deep Dive into a Shonen Masterpiece
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I agree with you about what you said about the last season and the unnecessary division of parts. I remember when I saw them on air and it was stressful watching "Final Season Part 1, 2, Final Part A and Final Part B", that until the end, the end was a long film that even had its extended version later (recently). If that isn't milking this franchise for all it's worth, I don't know what is.
I also agree with the ending, which was quite disappointing. Even now, I still wonder what the creator had in mind for Eren, giving him that ending. AOT definitely stands out from other popular anime for its incredible Plot-Twist since the one they gave at the end with Eren and the blond (I don't remember his name) was quite unexpected and absurd beyond belief.
But anyway, aside from those couple of (but not unimportant) details, this anime is one of the best I've seen.
Good review.
Thanks for the comment. Totally get the frustration with the "Final Season Part 1, 2, A, B" chaos—it felt like they were stretching it out forever. And yeah, that extended final film was such a cash grab. I’m with you on the ending too; Eren’s arc left me scratching my head, wondering what Isayama was thinking. That plot twist with Eren and Armin (I’m guessing you meant him?) was wild and kinda out of left field. Glad you still think AOT is one of the best despite those hiccups—appreciate the kind words about the review.
Yes... They milked the franchise for all it was worth during its finale, which was stressful and unfortunate. And yes, that very moment is what I'm referring to. Watching Armin give Eren what he deserves after that pathetic confession is... surreal. How easily they ruined one of the greatest antagonists in anime history, really.
I'm also a believer that a masterpiece deserves a grand finale. And I consider those who have one worthy of being called that, a "masterpiece." Unfortunately, very few of the popular anime of recent decades have good endings.
