Did you know that Isayama asked to storyboard the season 2 outro and spoiled the ending nearly 6 years before even writing it?

I can't believe that Mikasa broke up with everyone. It doesn't fit with her character cause she is very family-oriented person and she can't be alone too long yes she needs to take a break for rest and grieving process but in my headcanon she writes the letters to Armin every season. The same thing with famous ackertalk, Levi and Mikasa can ackertalking by this way, the letters are perfect option to communicate with each other. For them two awkward introverts it's easier to express their thoughts and emotions in writing before they will meet again
Dear Captain Levi All things shall take place in their proper time. How is your leg? Hope you're doing well. P.S. I sent your favorite tea from Mitras. Sincirely yours, undisciplined subordinate Mikasa Ackerman

Seeing some people interpret the ending as “everything was pointless what’s it all for” greatly ignored the message behind Armin and Zeke’s conversation.
And it’s a very important one. There is meaning to life even if the cycle never ends. Enjoy the moment, appreciate the world. Find the love. As Erwin said, we all die. But does that make our lives and lives of our comrades meaningless? No.
This world is cruel but very beautiful.

Attack On Titan Final (Final?) Thoughts
With AoT now done done, I really want to give my final thoughts (season 4 part 27):
If it weren't for Attack on Titan, I would have never become as active talking about media online as I have.
I would have never met, talked to and followed cool people like @raelis1, @momtaku, @ghostmartyr, @tatakaeeren and many others, some who fell out of love with the series and some who yet love it in its (im)perfection.
(I actually started as an anon on @momtaku's blog.)
I currently have almost 1300 followers, most of who followed me for AoT.
For 10 years, the series has been an active, weekly/monthly/in general periodic part of my life and for all of the issues I take with it personally, I loved most of the time I followed this story.
I loved theorising about and analysing this delibrate (and less delibrate and flawed) mess.
It's a compelling and memorable first long-form story by a young author and I'd say you can do much much worse (but also much better) for your first outing.
And to think, I went into the first episode expecting to hate it because of an unfortunate encounter with a fan of the series. But from there I caught up with the anime and then the manga, followed by quickly getting endlessly fascinated by it – and from the start I was fascinated by what I considered the flaws of the series as much as the positives.
And since getting into the series, I really developed my taste: I truly love dark stuff with a heart buried within it. The definition of shock value differs so much from person to person, but to me AoT *generally* had a good balance of both.
It is a B-movie (horror) that also has sincere and complicated thoughts about humanity. It uses all the tropes in bad visual novels and manga aimed at teens and up, but sometimes also turns them upside down in really cool ways.
I think it ended up a slave to unfortunate tropes within its ilk of series, but only two stories have ever come close to make me invested like this one.
And for the most tl;dr version of my thoughts on the series, for probably the last time (might make this a yearly thing, might not; at some point I also want to finally redo my Favorite Character List from back when I started this blog):
I love it with all of its warts. I think the anime ending really solidified this very specific opinion about it I have.
All of the contradictions within this series' themes and characters are fascinating. And all of the straight-forward ideas powerful and burning fiercely.
Not new, not original, but to me absolutely still memorable and still meaningful.
And I have been saying this since season 1: I think the anime 100% ended up being better than the manga. If I'll ever be able to get a full version of the story, I'll be getting all of the anime.
(It's also better in case Isayama ever goes full trash person, but supporting the anime has its own issues.)

goodbye, aot
thank you so much Isayama, your truly the best mangaka in japan and that's no understatement. amazing story, great female characters, good character development, and an amazing studio to top it all off. it feels bittersweet to me now that the show has finally ended but thats okay :) aot will never leave the back of my mind as it is truly one of the greatest shows i've ever watched.
and a big thanks to mappa for all of this! you really sent off the series in the absolute best way possible and none of us could be more grateful for you dedication and hard work. Some of those aot scenes look straight up made in real life. thanks a lot mappa!

The creator has received some hate from fans for the ending ever since the manga finished and now again from those who hoped the anime would end differently. Now he's going to make a new ending. Many felt Eren was made to be a bad guy when he is the victim. I don't see it that way. He was redeemed through his sacrifice in order to make titans no longer exist to harm humanity when humanity is doing that just fine on their own.
His choices ultimately made one less monster to worry about in the world, but yes, he had to go dark in order for that to happen. But he's the main character so I understand why fans wanted him to walk away unscathed. That's how I felt and still feel about Xena. ⚔️
Well, I guess it ain't over after all! 2024 be ready! 😂
ETA: I'm still looking to find some other sources to verify this but none other than this blog so far.
ETA: The new manga story is going to pick up where things left off. NOT a new ending...

LONGGG rant about attack on titan’s ending and how it correlates to the whole idea of “eren was never free” under the cut
i love aot’s ending.
first things first: aot was never meant to have a happy ending. the whole point is that eren always wanted something better, something greater than the situation he was stuck in. he reached for that, a world beyond what he could see, and he called it freedom. he thought that if he could have a world outside the walls, they would be free. they would be happy.
in the conversation armin and zeke had in the paths, zeke said that the purpose of life is to multiply. he, like eren, thought that you had to look for something greater to be happy, to be free.
eren wasn’t satisfied with just multiplying as a meaningless life form, of course. as a child inside the walls, living with a false sense of security and safety, he said that they were living like livestock. and reproducing without any purpose in life— that is a cow, a pig, those are animals who only live to eat, sleep and procreate. eren didn’t want that.
and see here; this is how zeke and eren share the same idea. the yeager brothers both believe that to be free, you have to go outside the walls and constantly strive for a higher ideal.
but think— even though eren got what he wanted, when he reached the sea, it was when everything went downhill. personally, i think he realized that he’d been leading himself on all this time. he couldn’t be free. not if he slaughtered everyone else, not if he killed everyone who wasn’t from paradis.
eren was always looking for more, looking for the freedom that would satisfy him once and for all. he wanted to have nothing in his way, and that in itself is impossible to achieve.
however (and this is the part i adore), armin is eren’s opposite.
yes, he also wanted to go to the sea, to witness mountains of fire and lands of ice as he said it, but he was content with staying inside the walls.
not because he was fine with being livestock.
armin saw purpose in everything. and he didn’t think of himself as livestock in the first place.
talking to zeke, he said that he would’ve been content just racing with mikasa and eren every day, on that hill, young forever and lost in the happiness of a simple activity that he knew he enjoyed.
he said that he thought that was the purpose of life; to be happy, to find happiness in what you have. and that was freedom for him; because he was free doing what he loved and found meaning in the tiniest things.
eren, in comparison, couldn’t do that.
here’s the thing. eren succeeded in killing 80% of the world’s population, but he was still unsatisfied. why? because he still. wasn’t. free. there were still wars left to be fought and enemies left. perhaps he made things harder for his friends, even.
as shown in the ending, war rages on, after his death and after mikasa’s death and armin’s death. there cannot be freedom if freedom, to eren, means a state of constant peace and happiness; happiness is never everlasting.
but armin was free because despite everything, he believed in happiness and freedom and loving everything he did, even in the seemingly meaningless playthings.
armin taught zeke that just playing catch-ball with a mentor can be your purpose in life. it can be your way to freedom and feeling satisfied. eren didn’t understand that.
now the ultimate question: does this mean eren was wrong for seeing freedom as a life beyond the constraints that held him inside the walls, for never liking what he had in front of him?
no. he was a boy full of too much hope for the world. yet it is because of this hope that he fails to ever be free, unlike armin. he could never achieve freedom because nothing was enough for him.
eren was never free and he never believed in freedom in the first place. armin was always free.
thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

It's true that cycle continues, it's true that there will always be cruel people and cruelty in the world.
But saying that everything was for nothing is wrong because the show repeatedly showed it is not true.
The underlying message was that the world is Beautiful (while also being cruel) and that things Can be different (as in better) than how they used to be.
Sasha's father said something that resonated with the show really well: It's us adults' responsibility to shoulder the sins and lead the children out of the forest. or something along those lines
How even in season 3, when the corps defended the walls from Reiss titan, things were Different from how they had been when Eren's mother was eaten and they couldn't do anything. It showed that those children Eren saw behind the walls wouldn't have to repeat Eren's fate because they Knew what they should do and had the power needed for it.
How Gabi, despite being filled with hatred and obsessed with the idea of eradicating her enemies (like Eren was), managed to grow past that and strive for happiness and peace and to help those she loved.
How even in the after credit scene, the boy who walked in under the tree similarly to how Ymir did 2000 years ago, it was different because, when Ymir did so bc she had no choice, the boy did it out of his own free will. (i saw the comment on YT point that out, i will put it up if i find it)
Things repeat, and certain people never change and certain people will put others down, but things Do change, and there will always be certain people who move past hatred and have the strength to do Something to make a small change for better.
Niccolo : "The world is like this because there's a devil in all of us." Gabi: "Then what should we do?" Niccolo: "Escape the forest. Even if we can't, we've gotta keep trying."

Even if the whole world was killed by the rumbling, Paradis would still never achieve peace. There would have been another rebellion against the government (the yaegerists), some people would strongly disagree with Eren’s decision, and humanity would continue to fight each other like they always have.  
So long as there are two people on this earth, there will always be a conflict waiting to happen, a war, an argument, a fight. Even if there is one person left, they will have to fight with themselves to stay content and sane with being alone forever. Peace is just something that can never exist at the same time as humans.
