If those spoilers are accurate... Is this what Isayama really wanted? I thought it might fix it a bit but it almost makes it worse I just cannot reconcile this with the guy who wrote the Reiner/Eren basement talk, the Ymir flashback, everything he said about the cycle of violence with whatever this is

LOL @ the personal opinion of the leaker: "I don't know what's the point of snk anymore, I couldn't even believe the leaks this time, everything is meaningless." Me too, buddy.

I really hope Isayama gives some kind of exit interview or something, because everything I hear is utterly baffling and I'm forced to conclude that for some reason he's intentionally burning down his own work.

I'll want to see everything in context before I form a concrete verdict, but right now? Definitely feels that way. I'm also suspecting that Eren and Mikasa shipping is a major flashpoint for this whole clusterfuck. Looking at it, there's a ton of "here's your ship. Now choke on it, you bastards." to a lot of parts of this ending, like Mikasa kissing Eren's head, the comparisons to Ymir's horrible relationship with Karl, showing Mikasa moving on, making Eren return Mikasa's feelings out of nowhere in the most humiliating way... It's one of the few things big enough that I can see management not budging on, while still being central enough that Isayama couldn't just change things a bit and just move forward.

Seems more likely that it will be something like "see? all would have been much much worse if I havent killed 80% of humanity. genocide was good" Thats seems bad by itself too, though

Yeah writing yourself into a position where your options are “justify global genocide” and “everything really was meaningless despite what I said about the cycle of violence before, gg humanity” is not ideal I’ll wait for the full chapter for the actual confirmation/context but... yikes

It's sad, the anime thread was full of so many hyped people, every episode would have multiple exclaimations of what a genius this creator is, how this is the greatest show, what incisive commentary it is... God if they only knew. Early next season wandering into the thread is gonna be like being a time traveller from the future who can't say anything.

The only joy I can possibly get from this ending any more is the shared misery from anime onlys as I watch the hope fade from their eyes and disillusionment settles in. e: That or imagining they'll actually change the ending to something that isn't poo poo but that would require me to get my hopes up again.

The anime has never been a one to one adaption. While they don't change much, they do leave out and tweak some things. It's entirely possible they will be able to salvage the manga into something fine. 90% of the manga material that will make up next season is basically solid. Seems easy enough they can adjust the remaining 10% to be decent by changing it or by simply expanding on it to have more nuance or meaning. Giving more to Historia, or in the finale more clearly showing the "heroes" not being happy with the Yaegerists being in control and what that means for the world, would go a long way towards showing it's clearly not a happy or good ending. I think the biggest point of contention will be the Armin finale dialogue, if you remove or adjust that, it would pull everything together much more clearly.

Is there any indication editorial is freaked out enough by the negative response to the ending to ask the anime writers to tweak the ending? Isayama certaintly doesn't seem like he would take the chance to use the anime to fix anything, he seems like he just wants to burn the bridge further.

But Isayama really isn't in charge of the anime, is he? I don't think he has that much editorial control over what goes on there. I'm not even familiar with any anime that the manga author had that much of a hand in. They might be listed as producers, but I don't think they are that heavy handed or influential. If an anime is that close to the original manga, seems like that's just a result of the anime crew wanting to do that, rather than a overriding directive from the original author. And by that I mean, for those times when an author is brought on to consult or provide ideas for the anime adaption, they're still just doing that at the request of the anime crew, who were free to do their own thing.

While I doubt Isayama is heavily involved with the anime adaptation, it's not unusual for manga authors to be. Some even write scripts for episodes. Regardless, the notion that the anime would a) meaningfully change the ending and b) make it not bad, is patently absurd. There is exactly no reason to believe this.

Change for the better or just change? Because I think there are ample examples of anime completely botching their adaptations. And I’m not sure by what metric you’re judging something to be bad and then being changed. Because I’ve seen several anime that expand on a manga as it goes along, and a result, are also fleshing out the ending more. They get validly criticized for having filler, but they’re adding their own mark on the material. For series ends, it usually amounts to the anime writing their own wrap up. Which I think is being helped mitigated by distinct season breaks being a bigger norm, rather than shows being ongoing weeklies. Ideally that will help AOT here, because they’ll have half a year to plan out how they want to pace out the conclusion. So while AOT has never added a whole lot, it’s never been that beholden to including everything from the manga, so I’m not sure why this is seen as a big leap of faith.

There is video footage of Isayama talking to VAs for the anime and having them adjust how scenes play out, anime ED footage revealed some plot points years before the manga did, and he was supposed to be involved with some of the revisions to Uprising. I think, at minimum, a few awkward bits like Armin thanking Eren for committing mass murder would be smoothed out, but the whole Mikasa thing... it really does look like there was conflict with editorial there, and I'm not sure how that would play out with more people in the mix.

The only speaking lines she had was in a flashback and her being pregnant was being built as important through both the story and framing of any scene she actually got to be in, until nope it was just one giant mislead.

Hot take, but the last arc is an attempt at an exploration of something that’s always been part of the story: an exploration of the human condition, and the strengths and weaknesses human ideologies have when it comes to survival; as well as how people justify their ideologies to themselves, and how they present them to other people to “sell” others on joining their cause. What you get angry about reflects on who you are as a person, how you want to see changed in this world, and who exists that you hate the most. I don’t like it at all, in fact I was team “break the cycle of violence and work towards- OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING  “ but after a month I suppose I can respect what the author was trying to do. That’s not an excuse for what I find to be some of the most heinous poo poo in the last arc and the ending, but at least I think I can Anyway, if you want to read a better story about someone being trapped by their knowledge of timelines and struggling with alienation and the futility of not being able to stop certain things like death and war, read the original Dune books. If you wanna read a very good story about people who have erased their past in an attempt to try and start over as humans, but coming to the realization that people are going to fall into some of the same self-destructive cycles that may end up killing all of humanity, then play Mother 3 That has a lot of the same themes and manages to have a very satisfying conclusion.
