I know it’s a little late to be making a pre-finale-emotions-and-Tangled-fandom-positivity post but I felt I really had to, so here goes...

I’ve been really sad lately, knowing that Tangled would be ending. It kind of crept up on me. I don’t keep super up-to-date on when episodes come out, how many episodes are coming out per season etc. especially due to the fact that I’m always behind on the show itself. So it just was like…suddenly the last episode is here.

There are plenty of wonderful shows out there but…it can be hard to find a show like Tangled the Series. Tangled has always been one of my all-time-favorite disney movies. There were certain movies I would just watch over and over as a kid and/or teenager, and Tangled was one of them. I was beyond delighted it was getting a show, and even more delighted when the show was good. No, not just good, incredible. It surpassed my wildest dreams and expectations. Not only did it keep true to the characters and canon, all the things it added or altered, characters, plot, style, the writing…it answered questions about the movie I didn’t know I’d been asking...I could go on and and on about this, but the point is that everything came together to create this truly amazing show. There aren't many shows that I react aloud to, but Tangled had me gasping, laughing crying...it truly was something special. Always will be.

There have been times when I was feeling extremely down and like nothing would lift my spirits, then the next tangled episode would drop and it’d keep me going the full week. Having a show like tangled to anticipate, having new episodes to watch and react to, has been more than just a nice, fun show... it’s been something that has kept me going through the dark times.

I knew that they were stopping at 3 seasons, and when I first heard that I was grateful that they werent planning on milking it for money, that they were really going to stick to the plan. Stopping at 3 seasons would ensure the quality would remain as incredible as it has ever been.

But... as season 3 arrived, and more and more episodes flew by…the last episode drawing nearer…I started to feel more down, more like “…oh but we could milk it for one more season right? It wouldnt lose its quality that much...” I started spreading out when I’d watch the episodes much more, knowing that these would be the last episodes I’d ever get to watch, the last of the new content. This week I’ve been agonizing over when I’ll watch the last episode, if I’ll watch it the moment I first can, if I’ll risk spoilers and wait as long as I possibly can…I’m still extremely conflicted, honestly.

Because this’ll be it. After today…there won’t be any more. There will be no new content. I’ll never get the feeling I get when i watch a new episode, never be able to react to new content...

This was more than just a show to me. It’s been...a beacon of hope. And losing it is more than a show ending. It…really is a loss.

From the very beginning I have loved the Tangled fandom to bits. It took me forever to join tumblr (or any social media for that matter), so I was not well accustomed to what fandom life is like on the internet (…I waved through the window of pinterest mostly XD). Tangled was one of the first fandoms I ever joined on tumblr and I’m so beyond glad I did. I don’t think my experience of the show would have ever been the same without you guys…I so looked forward to hearing what everyone thought, for theories, for edits, for fan art and fics…You were one of the reasons I so looked forward to episodes, one of the things that brightened my week.

This past week I decided, even in my desire to savor/milk each episode as long as I could, to be sure to watch the second to last episode a few days before the last one aired so I could check in the fandom one last time before the finale. I’ve been so behind lately I really haven’t been able to join in the fandom and catch much of the awesome things you guys have been posting over the last half of the last season. I wanted to catch at least some of that, and hear everyone’s thoughts on the last episode before it came about—theories, worries, hopes….

And oh my goodness am I ever glad I did. I was wondering if everyone would be either super excited or super sad…And seeing so much positivity, so many bittersweet posts about the fandom has brightened my spirits so much these last few days. Knowing I’m not alone in losing this amazing show…it has helped so much. It feels less like a loss and more like...I dont know, we’re going into battle together.

So I want to thank you. Thank you all. You’ve been here when the sun was shining, and here during the dark nights. You’ve been there to theorize, to debate, to cheer, to write, to draw… You’ve been here to brighten my days. You’ve been here from Life After Happily Ever After to, well…I guess we’ll find out, won’t we? I’ve made so many wonderful friends through this fandom and I’m so glad Tangled brought us all together.

I’m definitely still going to be here, posting and reblogging for tangled after the show ends. I still have at Tangled fics on my computer I started long ago—(one I started way back from season one and never finished)—and I will definitely be writing more for it. I may post even more than I did before, as I do my best writing and overanalyzing once I have the full canon. (Please feel free to message me if you’ll be sticking around to chat about the series, and/or to drop some fic prompts in my askbox on my writing blog @antihero-writings!) (I wonder...should those of us who are planning on sticking around come up with some hashtag to identify who’s planning on continuing to post?)

I really hope I’m not the only one who keeps posting/writing/creating fanart for it. It would bring me such immense joy and comfort to continue to see tangled posts all over my dash even after the show has ended.

Because the fandom only really dies when we stop posting for it, right?

And now, well…I suppose I’m ready to watch the finale….ready as I’ll ever be.

waaah thank you again @honrupi i’ll do my best!

Rules: Answer the ten questions, write your own ten questions, tag ten people.

What’s the first fandom you can remember being a part of and would you consider yourself still a part of it? - Oh jeez, umm.... I think it might’ve been Naruto? XD Naruto is the first media property I remember getting super into, and it opened me up to a lot of aspects of fandom that I wasn’t aware of at the time (i.e. fanart, fanfiction, doujinshi, etc.) I don’t really think I’m a part of it still, but I do find myself wandering back over and seeing if I can find content once in a while!

What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received? Alternatively, what would make you happiest to be complimented about? - Ajkkl;ajfioasjis wow..... ummmmm... I can’t pick out one in particular but I’ve been told “I’m really glad to have met you,” and it just... makes me really happy? I know it’s not good but I get really tense in everyday settings when I interact with people, and I constantly wonder whether or not I make the people around me happy, or if I’m just a bother/a tag-a-long or making things awkward. Hearing someone say that they feel happy that I’m around helps me squash the constant doubt over whether or not I should just keep to myself or try to engage with other people more. (Gah I’m sorry if this sounded incoherent.)

Do you want to be famous? - Sometimes yes, but no. I think ultimately it’s more that I want to have something that I do so well that I’ll be known for it, and or that it benefits other people in some way, and not necessarily that I want fame.

What’s something you always wished you could be good at? - Dancing. I watch way too many dance videos and listen to too much music to not know how to dance worth a damn, but I have no rhythm and am very stiff ;;.

If you were given complete freedom to plan your dream vacation, where would you go and what would you do there? - Hnnnnggg this is hard. I honestly want to just say Akihabara, Japan, because I’ve never gone and it’s been a dream, but now I’m kind of thinking Nepal? Kathmandu has a bunch of temples and I would love to just walk around and.... absorb the atmosphere? Learn about the history and the everyday life? Also Kathmandu, the name alone makes it sound like a cool ass place. I think I would like to just go backpacker-style and take everything in.

How did you first end up on Tumblr? - Oh boo, it was in my first year of college that I made and actively used an account, but I was lurking before that. I don’t know how I first got pointed to it, I think maybe on an internet forum?? Or through tumblr posts pointing me to fan translations etc.

What was the last piece of media you saw/read/played that left a memorable impact on you? - Hahahaha, this is hard. I think My Hero Academia was the last media property that I got obsessed with and had a notable impact on my life. I remember binging the manga after season 1, and jumping straight in to the fandom. People in college knew me as "the girl who likes my hero” and that made me both really happy and really sad lmao. Midoriya was one of very few anime protags that had notable anxiety and he really inspired me, and the show as a whole was just a mixing bowl of everything I wanted.

What are you looking forward to in the foreseeable future? - More reboots/continuations of anime that stopped before their manga ended (looking at you ouran)

What’s a random fun fact that you’ve learned recently? - That apparently in England (and maybe all of Europe), lemonade is sprite?? I feel like this is wrong but I’ve seen several confirmations and I’m so confused....

What’s a piece of advice that you’ve always found useful? Take things a day at a time - my anxiety makes looking in to the future really daunting and often times it just paralyzes me and makes me procrastinate, so while I still try to plan ahead, now I just look at what I have to do for the day and focus on getting it done. It’s helps me make some progress, no matter how small.

mmggmkldmfdio I’m gonna tag some of the same people from my last post ‘m very sorry for the spam: @lightanddarkkh @godkinglogan @mimilovegoodhurts @ane-san22 @yaun21 @mashedjagaimo @esmechanwantsacookie @autumnlovestomatoes of course, do it if you want and at your leisure! My questions for y’all are under the cut:

What media properties do you find yourself re-watching or returning to constantly?

What genres of music do you like? Any particular reason?

Do you like pineapples on your pizza or not? Do you have any opinions on people who say the opposite? (lol i’m sorry)

When’s the last time you did something that made you really happy? (i.e. going on a trip, seeing a friend, watching a good movie, etc.)

Are there any characters in media that you really relate to?

What is something that you like seeing in other people (could be an interest, or a quality)?

Are there any habits that you have that you’re thankful for?

If you watch anime, what was your first one and when did you watch it?

What does your url mean, if anything at all?

Is there anything that’s constantly on your mind nowadays?

#answering questions is hard but thinking of questions is even harder #sorry its so long

SnK S3E1 Poll Results

The poll closed with 1,336 responses. Thank you to everyone who participated!

This is just a general warning for potential manga related spoilers in the comments! Tread carefully!

Rate the Episode

Overall, viewers were excited about the new episode and ranked it well. It seems everyone is fired up and ready for the anime to pick up where it left off. Bonus points for a short one year hiatus this time!

I'm really excited to see this new version of the Uprising arc unfold. This episode did a great job at highlighting the paranoia and "on the run" aspect better than the manga counterpart, with the safety net feeling well and truly gone. The tagline for volume 13 was "No Safe Place Left", but it's the anime that really made me feel that was the case.

Trust WIT studio to surprise even the manga readers with their content. Everything from the OP to the pacing was completely unexpected, but I love it!

GREAT start, a good way to hype both Manga readers and anime only fans into the start of the new season ! (putting it in the ‘was this a good start’ question)

Is it 7/29 yet?

Rate the OP

There have definitely been mixed reviews on the new opening. The majority of voters were happy or content with it, while about 22% of respondents could have thought better on it. Maybe it will grow on people as the anime continues!

For me the opening was a masterpiece. The melancholy and the foreshadowing for those who don’t read the manga is fantastic. As I am current with the manga it made me sad for the kids because I know how things are now and I was also excited to see them again in animated form.

I must admit, on my first listen, I was thoroughly disappointed by red swan and thus hated it with passion. But shockingly I LOVED it just on my very second listen (which was when I actually watched the episode)! I then understood that there was nothing wrong with that beautiful song nor the opening itself. It was all my personal expectations, biases and unwillingness to accept something new.

Something about the animation in the OP was weird and the still shots they included looked like someone else's fanart.

I'm disappointed with the opening. I just feel like it's not on bar with the previous ones. But I guess people are right about it being more suitable for an arc that's focused on character development, so I don't hate it as much now. I just hope that we get a second opening when the action kicks in (since they're covering up to the ocean) that makes the viewers more hyped. My problem with the current opening is that it doesn't feel like Attack on Titan anymore. I'm also not super happy with the drawings in general.

The opening really fits this part of the story because this is the part when shit gets real.

This OP is very different from the previous three. What is your favorite opening so far?

Shinzuo wo Sasageyo took the lead by a huge margin (including votes for our lovely typo version, “Shinzuo no Sasageyo”), managing to outdo the iconic first opening, Guren no Yumiya!

Bring Linked Horizon back.

Regarding Red Swan: While it is a departure from the bombastic hype we've had before, this is such a good OP for this arc. It takes the OP in the complete opposite tone, which is exactly what this arc does with the rest of the series. The visuals are stunning, and the song itself is an absolute tune. #RedSwanDefenceSquad

Also, regarding the OP, the song isn't bad, but it doesn't really fit the AOT style of epic openings. To me, it feels more like an ED, which have always been softer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a more epic second OP as we move into the RTS arc.

There was no ending theme this time. Will this become a consistent thing?

Respondents were confident that we’ll be getting an OP. Of course, as we’ve learned over the week, this is true! And surprise! It will be Linked Horizon!

Which of the below were your favorite moments?

It was close to a tie between “Kenny’s explosive entrance” and Levi’s “KENNYYYAHHH!” with the former barely taking the lead. Safe to say, the cliffhanger in this episode left us all impatiently awaiting episode 39! Other notable favorite moments were “Moblit ready to throwdown for Hange,” “Hange promising to torture Sannes,” and seeing Eren at the ocean.

Still salty about not seeing Eren build a house in his Titan form

I really enjoyed that they moved certain conversations like Eren and Historia to that particular part of the episode. It just fit so well! My kids. :')

Where is my jeankasa moments???

KEEENNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!1!!11

I am just glad to get to watch SnK again.

hanji hot

I liked the moments between Levi and Mikasa - she asked him about his wounded leg and she was really worrying about him. I'm glad that she shows some interest in other people (not just Eren and Armin).

What do you think of the new episode’s pacing?

The largest denominator are waiting to see how more of the season plays out before making a final judgement call, and many are confident that everything will be okay. Still, there is a small percentage who are concerned that they won’t get to see everything they hoped for.

Uprising is my least favourite arc, mainly due to the pacing issues. So I am very excited that they will be tackling those. I'm going to need a few more eps to correctly judge things, but I am hopeful.

I was kind of disappointed. I know they want to change the pacing and all, but I don't accept them sacrificing some important and necessary scenes for character development. I've yet to see how the rest of the season will unfold before judging it, but yeah, I really hope they won't rush things again, especially when it's my favorite arc!

I watched with an anime only and he was confused by the pacing, and how we got to the cabin from seeing the beast titan at the end of the last season. I hope they don't keep rushing through the manga chapters. I was not enthusiastic about the episode.

The pacing was really fast, but that's the price of having to condense such a complex manga into an anime, that probably had limited time/budget, as they all do. So I am happy to get what I can, and enjoy the hella beautiful animation, instead of complaining about all the scenes they cut out��

A lot of stuff really quickly, but it's understandable. This is my favorite arc and I love political intrigue, so I'm hoping we start to fill in some of the scenes we've already skipped past as we go along and the Anime-onlies are already hooked. I *really* hope we get to see the badass competence of our Vets - they deserve it!

Which main character got the best S3 glow up so far?

Levi is (unsurprisingly) the clear winner in this competition. We think his new bedhead hair is charming, too! In second place came Eren, followed by Mikasa and Historia.

i don't think there was any glow up this season. kenny's great tho, 10/10 would stan

The girls aren’t animated with lipstick anymore. Yay or nay?

The vast majority are either unphased or delighted by WIT moving away from the colored glossy lips of the girls. A small percentage of respondents are going to miss the look.

Don't actually care about the lipstick, it just makes sense that they won't put it during the whole action.

The characters are finally starting to look truer to their manga counterparts this season! How do you feel about it?

76% of respondents are thrilled about the anime starting to match the appearance of the characters’ manga counterparts.

The changes to animation and character styles were kind of weird but I got used to it eventually

How do you feel about Mikasa taking down Reeves and his cronies by herself?

46% are happy with the development and seeing Mikasa get a chance to shine on her own. Meanwhile, 18% are disappointed that Levi didn’t tackle Reeve’s cronies with her, while 14% are simply upset they didn’t get to see Levi do his iconic chokeslam at all. Let’s be hopeful WIT will make up for that in the future!

i proper wanted to see the Ackerman duo but watching Mikasa chokeslam some bitches made me pop a boner and i don’t even have a dick

I would have LOVED the duo action, but I anticipate to see that in the following episodes (or else Wit and I are gonna have some words). At least it's nice that Levi trusted Mikasa to handle this mission without his supervision!

Mikasa was great! A little sad they cut Jean being protective over her safety after Sasha shoots the arrow though.

It was alright but developing her personality and relationship with the other characters is more important than constantly just giving her ~badass~ scenes.

Considering that Levi had to be somewhere else, I'm fine with it since it's such a small scene. But I still want some Levi/Mikasa duo action

i liked it, but it was mikasa AND sasha

too OP

Manga readers, what best describes how you felt about seeing Eren at the ocean?

Nearly half of voters were surprised to see this animated so early, followed by 28% who were moved by the scene. A small percentage weren’t happy that WIT implied about the ocean so early.

I NEED MORE EREN WITH LONG HAIR!!!!!!!!!

It was a great decision to show it in the beginning. It sets the tone for the following episodes.

I'm already finding delight in the sense of dread anime-only watchers will have when things start going off the rails and they have Eren alone in this scene in the back of their minds.

It was the most beautiful "eye close-up" this anime could have ever done! Amazing scene - wonderfully colored, animated, and sad and touching. 10/10

Interesting choice, nice way to bring it all back at the end though

As a TV producer it's understandable. They would want to hook people early on, esp for anime only viewers

stop lowkey spoiling ffs

I watched the season premiere at the movie theatre and when that scene came up I could hear a discrete general gasp coming from the audience. I liked how everyone was shocked but still tried to contain their excitement for anime watchers.

Felt like they’re trying to make it seem like a dream sequence rather than a reality.

I felt it gave more mystery to how the plot will develop for anime-onlies. It was a great decision to show it at the beginning, especially Eren alone.

Anime only fans, what best describes how you felt about seeing Eren at the ocean?

An uncertain number of voters are most definitely certain they read the manga! Meanwhile. 37% of anime only viewers were really pumped by the implication of getting to see the ocean. A smaller percentage are confused but still here for the ride, while 18% don’t really feel anything about it either way.

My sister is anime only, and she said a mix of options - confused and shocked and excited - looking forward for the rest!

Anime Only, don't know how I feel. It was played out well so looking forward to it.

I was shocked yet I was amazed on that scene

shocked and excited - looking forward for the rest!

Your reaction to Kenny?

The overwhelming majority are #readyforkenny and excited to see him! We suspect that the 7.6% of voters who don’t know who he is are anime only viewers. We’re excited to see how you guys think of him in a few weeks!

I'm not sure how I feel about Kenny. I imagined him a bit differently. While reading a manga I saw him as harsh, cold, mysterious man with deep voice and scary looks. In the anime however he looks too young and his face is different.

Looks like WIT was really anxious to introduce Kenny. I didn't mind it overall, but I hope their shuffling scenes around doesn't become overwhelming.

Kenny: Omae wa mou shindeiru Nifa: Nani? *bangbang*

Rate Eren’s abs on a scale of 1-5

The majority of respondents are thirsty for Eren’s animated abs! 105 of voters will take a hard pass, however.

I was so scared they were gonna draw Eren with the body of a 12-year-old like so much of the official art back in the day did. Thank you WiT for keeping him manga-accurately ripped

Do you feel this episode was a strong start to the season?

While a fair number of voters are tentatively waiting for more of the season to make their judgement, the majority of respondents agree that the season started off with a bang and are looking forward to more.

GREAT start, a good way to hype both Manga readers and anime only fans into the start of the new season !

Which group are your favorite characters?

All of the characters are winners in this poll!

Do you read the manga or do you only watch the anime?

The majority of respondents are loyal manga readers. We had 162 anime only respondents this week!

Where do you primarily discuss the series?

Reddit takes the lead!

Additional thoughts on the chapter?

I miss Levi’s speech about how he’s ‘just being an asshole’ when eren can’t harden his titan 😰 it was cute

It really was just an extended trailer, everything included in the trailer was in the episode, it was very good and I enjoyed it nonetheless!

I'm so glad to be seeing my loves in animated action once again

I’m excited for the rest of the season!

The episode was definitely awesome for a first episode. I’m kinda disappointed that they skipped Historia’s explanation about her past, but I hope they will show it in a future episode. Also, the opening was stunning. Seeing my favorite characters as kids made me smile so much. Overall, this episode got me excited for the next episodes.

Amazing! Glad that it was not Eren centric and We'll be seeing Levi alot. I hope they show more of Mikasa and Levi moments. It was awesome. I first watched the episode at the cinema so I couldn't watch it with the opening. But I loved it!

Small Levi in the opening is so beautiful I want to cry !!

Where is abswin?! I have priorities, WIT, where are yours??

This is so good! I was at first worried that they will shove Levi down our throats (as much as I love him), but now I'm surprisingly confident in this new season! I trust Wit to make great changes in the pacing, because the anime version definitely need some improvement. The animation is stunning and Mikasa and Levi were amazing, they can slay me when they want.

Trust WIT studio to surprise even the manga readers with their content.

MANGA SPOILERS: I'm most curious to see how different the plot will be now that they seem to have skipped the whole SC/Reeves company collaboration. The OP was honestly a shock at first watch but now I can't stop listening to it. I think it's perfect, especially for us manga readers, because it really tugs at your heartstrings when you think of what's currently happening in the manga. Especially that scene with kid!Eren bumping into soldier Eren. I'm still crying. :( All in all, brilliant episode, can't wait for next week!

RIP to my bae Nifa

They cut out a shitload of little dialogue that isn't important to the plot between the characters I was hoping to see animated so that was pretty disappointing. I'm expecting that trend to continue. On the opening, I'm a manga reader, I get what they were going for and all the undertones and such but I still didn't like it much. I don't like how some of the characters got the shaft completely and how characters important to this season like Erwin, Levi and Historia and characters related to them barely got any parts in the opening.

Baby Erwin!!!

I can really now feel the connection of the anime and manga! Can't wait for the other episodes, it was spoiling some parts (if you read the manga) but either way if you watched or read or both Attack On Titan you'll still love and appreciate it

Thank you everyone who voted! We’ll see you back with episode 39!
