Since we'll be lacking AoT material after next week, I was curious: Are the OVAs worth watching at all or are they mostly filler junk?

"Wall Sina, Goodbye" is a fun little Annie detective caper but none of the OVAs have any real impact on the overall narrative. I'd only recommend them for completionists. The scout training one is a straight up slog to get through.

Illse's Notebook
The Notebook was a canon manga chapter that was cut out for time in season one, and is well worth checking out.

The headshot wouldn't really be good as the (basically) season ending cliffhanger. Like, it'd be funny but it's something that is resolved so quickly it'd feel extremely cheap to have to wait nearly a year for that.

I thought they'd end it at the headshot too, but take it up a notch and just have the walls fall apart and the rumbling start before having the ymir stuff as the first episode of the next season.

I know you guys want more closure on the main story but me, I wanna know what happened to minor characters like Gustav, Anka, and Rico. WHERE IS OUR GIRL RICO, ISAYAMA.

It's a very good thing for Rico that Isayama hasn't remembered her for a while. Just look at what happened to Sam and Daz when they showed up again.

(That said, the last big moment Anka had was her specifically noting that she didn't feel anything from Zeke's scream, so she's probably fine. Heck, she's probably going to be in charge of the Garrison since everyone with command experience who outranked her is now dead.)

I like the OVA where Mikasa meets the weird mirror man just because of what a strange little episode it is.

Here's hoping it's a fast forward a few months at least and 'where are they now' chapter. Would absolutely hate it if the entire final chapter takes place in the immediate aftereffects of Eren going down and characters looking into the sunset pondering what comes next.

Ten pages will be a Mikasa and Eren’s lifeless head make out session while everyone looks on in disgust, even the worm. Falco uses this chance to eat the worm and revives everyone including Grisha and Marco and they all have a huge party.

Yeah, there's been a lot of BS spoilers for the last few chapters. I remember seeing a lot of "RIP Levi" back in December.

Trying to avoid them either way, though. I want to see this one properly, not just in out of context snippits.

I'm just not sure that the Attack Titan really does [spoiber]team up with the cast of Evangelion, even as a promo tie-in. At bare minimum, you have to think it's a bit weird for Shinji to do the Predator handshake, even if the Survey Corps did have Eren "pushing too many pencils".[/spoiler]

Moving at the speed of death.


So I let this series rest for a looong time because the author likes to introduce a ton of poo poo and I felt like if I had to slowly go through it all I'd forget all the major poo poo by the time I got to the end. I just read from chapter 60 up until now. Jesus christ what a trip.

Sooo lets see if I got this straight, sorry for the ramble: this is a world where the timeline follows the principle that everything that happens will happen no matter what, including stable timeloops with no beginning or end (Grisha murders the royal family because of Eren, but Eren only got to the point where he'd manipulate Grisha because Grisha already murdered them). Eren touched Historia's hand and got a big massive dose of future information. He knows how it will all play out and that he will play a terrible part in it and can't avoid it because that's just how time works in SNK. This is the source of his change in attitude.

And that... eventually all that loss of life will work out for major long term peace(???!) By eliminating the majority of the world that's been infested with old history and half truths propagated from generation to generation and have the survivors of this apocalypse band together to end said apocalypse, by murdering Eren? Hell, the team fighting the apocalypse is a blend of people born and raised on both sides while the peanut gallery is pretty much exactly the same. If they survive, they'll have bonded by overcoming the end of the world and could use that basis for long term peace. It's hosed up but this seems to be where it is headed.

Did the author attempt to turn Eren into Adolf Christ?

Someone help me with this manga ending trope checklist:

[ ] Something related to outer space
[ ] Giant plants
[ ] Everyone becoming friends
[ ] Time skip to far in the future
[ ] People coming back to life
[ ] Everything dies for some reason

You want the story?
I'll spin it for you quick...
Eren wakes up back in chapter 1 and immediately beheads himself with a big knife in front of Mikasa and Armin. The rest of the issue is a quick highlight reel of what happens in this new timeline. After all these years, the author and audience are finally free.

Eren can have a little ommicide, as a treat. I know it's too late but it would have been neat to know what the Ackermans were besides "experiments with Titan science." Turn everybody into Ackermans! Problem solved. No more shiny centipede problems.
