Official art in the Japanese magazine (yes, Eren originally had this palette). Eren basically had black hair and gray eyes like Levi.

It is one of the best things I have ever watched. I was never really an anime guy, but this show and Death Note completely changed my perspective, like they probably have for a lot of other people. The problem is, I feel like I made a mistake by watching AoT so early in my anime journey. It set the bar so high that I don't think any anime will top the experience of watching Attack on Titan for the first time. Maybe it's just the feeling of finishing such an amazing show.

If you have any recommendations for anime similar to Attack on Titan and Death Note that aren't too long, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Just amazing. Give the artist some love on their Insta account.

Edit: the artist is obviously an AoT fan and they have lots of great art on their profile. Each of their works are really nice so they definitely deserve a follow.

I started watching Attack on Titan in January. From the get go, I knew this was going to be the best show I had ever watched, and knowing that made me want to take it as slowly as I can, cherishing each episode and the characters in them. This was also my introduction to anime (I used to be a hater but I have since repented of my sins).

Since January, I had been doing my best to watch one episode a night before I went to bed. AoT was my reward at the end of the day, for half of this year, and for all of the plot twists, character development, and of course the love story going on between Eren and Mikasa, nothing made me want to go to bed at a good time like watching AoT.

But then, outta nowhere, the season finale absolutely rips my heart out, like no other show has managed to do.

Mikasa was my favorite character since the start, for different reasons. At first, it was because of her tragic backstory, beautiful season 1 outro, and the fact that she’s so badass. And later, it was because I realized that the purest thing in the entire show was her love for Eren.

So why? Why leave her at the base of a tree next to his grave?

Arguably, Mikasa was the most innocent character as far as unnecessary lives taken. If anyone “deserved” their happy ending, it’s Mikasa. And her love for Eren was so tireless, patient, and unconditional to the mental, emotional, or physical state he was in. That’s so countercultural to the way that most shows and movies portray love as these few fleeting, shallow moments before a hyper romantic scene later on. It felt real compared to that bullshit. And the cabin scene was the ultimate knife-twist, showing what their life could’ve looked like had Mikasa been more vulnerable.

It struck a chord in me that no cinematic story ever has, and I couldn’t imagine it getting topped by something else. I’m trying to heal, and I even created a whole playlist on Spotify that tells the story of the final few chapters, called “See You Later, Eren” (the album cover is her sitting at the tree). I can’t think about her without hurting. Isayama, for this beautiful world that you gave us, I’m so grateful. And I understand that the circumstances made Eren and Mikasa impossible.

But no amount of logic is going to heal me. I’m hurting, and everything that I do, everything that I watch, every bit of media that I consume; everything I do to try and fill the Eremika-shaped hole in my heart isn’t working. It all feels pointless, knowing that Mikasa’s sitting at the tree. You were so unfair to her.

If anyone’s willing to help me, I’m stuck between wanting to heal, and needing to remember. I never want to forget the wound that this beautiful show left on me, but I want to be able to enjoy another show without feeling like a cheating partner. Because if I move on, I’ve also left Mikasa under the tree. I can’t even hardly listen to music that doesn’t remind me of the two of them hurting from the separation.

So please, AoT community. You’ve been doing this for much longer than me, and I need your help. How do I move on, heal from this wound without forgetting how special the journey was? I need you guys.

First time watching since the pandemic, this appeared in episode 3 in season 2, i don't remember seing this weapon before, but i bet it's more effective than a cannon when used against titans, does this ever see use on screen?

EDIT: I'm stupid, I did some checking and people have discussed it on this subreddit before, and I would like to clarify my question is of there's any clips of them in action

Swallowed by the horizon and surrendered to the night, some lights refuse to fade, guiding those who remain in the darkness.

AOT ending in anime is very high rated on almost all platforms with consensus that it was a very satisfying conclusion.

Compared to that the manga ending was very divisive to the point multiple subreddits became AOT hate subreddit after reading it and ppl started wishing for an anime original ending. Many fan fiction endings became popular and one of them even got animated by fans. Even now those subreddits continuously slander the author again and again just out of spite.

This level of stark contrast between these two mediums is kinda baffling tbh. Especially considering the fact that the story beats are almost exactly the same with few minor changes. I know anime can elevate the source material but still... AOT was always known/popular for its storytelling so pretty visuals and extended fights cannot change ppl's opinion THIS drastically.

I wasnt really present during the release of final chapter of the manga so i dont exactly know how it played out.

This might just be me but it’s a trend that I’ve noticed with other anime, so I can’t fully blame Isayama. But I do want to point this out as this kinda feels a sexist bias. And the ones that. Do you end up single? Are usually dead or forgotten. Hell, even some dead ones at the end of the series still kinda centered around a relationship. Between someone.

People have independently calculated thr amount of collasal titans in the walls by the walls circumference and the shoulder width of the titans. A modest estimate is 500k. Yet that amount is nowhere near close enough to trample 80 percent of the world in just a few days given their spee

I was looking at this subject in a very superficial way until I came to a comment that brought a very nonsense theory, but quite cool and interesting. That the planet in AOT was not exactly Earth, but an alien world in which the titans were the native people and hence their apparent irrational hatred for humanity, that they would be invaders of this extraterrestrial world, in theory indicated something like ancestral humans having arrived on this planet and after centuries humans believe that this is actually Earth, because they lost knowledge of the truth. It's obviously a meaningless theory, based entirely on guesswork, but I wanted to know, some more theories that dealt with the origin of the titans before it was revealed what they were, etc.
