After watching the ending, i walked away from the fandom for a year, i see the good and the bad with this ending, i still side with my first thinking, the ending feels bad, I can't see how to some is this a happy story.

No one care whats my experience with attack on titan, but here it is anyway, at least i write down what i feel to make my mind clearer, i discovered aot when it came out, it was one of my first anime discoveries, with another and corpse party, i never watched animes before, and didnt watched a lot more after.

Attack on titan was epic, mainly do to the incredible quality of the serie, and serious tone to the universe and story.

Now i dont plan of writing too much, so, here's why i can't appreciate this ending, i'm a soft heart, i cannot stand injustice and death for nothing, even as a kid, i felt really sad when animals dieds in shows (i am legend) , even more when human died, because humans usually know why they are dying, even if this is unfair, they "know", as opposite to animals, that cannot really "think" death on its true level, the disappearance of everything we are.

Me being such a very sensible person always made me suffer while watching attack on titans, i think only Violet Evergarden managed to make me that sad lately, two exemple of event in attack on titans that made me really sad were the Levi squad death, because they were cute, and really good at fighting, but they had no clue the feminine titan could use the crystal power to resist their incredible assault on her, resulting in their annihilation, it felt really unfair, but at the end, like lots of peoples in aot, they died to protect Eren, the "only chance" Humans had against titans.

So here i come, Eren being not only the one bringing doom on the world, but most of doing so for his own fucked up reasons was the cherry on top of the cake of the injustice and unfairness of this world, and story, the fact that Eren made clear that there was no other way that doing the rumbling, to save paradise for some years, really made me feel like all those who died for paradise cause/eren from Eren mother, to his father, levy squad, the dozen squad members charging Zeke, and likely most of the death of the show after that, died in vain, in complete ignorance of the fact that they were doing what they did for nothing, and probably to help the wrong person.

What was already sad became meaningless, and yes, it is the reality of some death in the world, but not in a fictional story, in a story people's die for a reason, here, after all that happened in attack on titan, i feel like there is not reason other than "humans are bad beings, and even if some try their best, they will sooner or later be exterminated" , thats what it is, what's the difference between this ending and Zeke's plan, Paradise peoples got destroyed in the end, living somewhat even hundred of years before annihilation is not a fair deal.

To me it feel like its being sadistic to characters we like, all that to make the point that humanity is shit.

And all the philosophical side of Eren, the main focus of the idea of Freedom, no one will ever really be free.

I mean, i know that,, i didnt needed to see petra getting smashed for Genocidal crazy Eren, without having lived a happy life, and a little girl getting eaten by dogs ,to learn these lessons.

Tell me if you think its stupid to feel that way, but after dealing with all the not so well written thing and incohérences brought by this end, there's only just this unfairness that is left in my mind.





My feeling on the aot ending
