Not if it's thrown in at the last minute at the expensive of all the other themes the story was focused on.
"The real answer was luv" would be an acceptable way to leverage an ending if it wasn't so fucking waaaaaaay overused in media across all genres.
It's almost time. This episode is going to be great. Social media is absolutely blowing up in anticipation right now.
I hope crunchyroll's servers are ready this time.

It was brutal....
They did censor the brains though....
The Hange scene was the most perfect sendoff, heroic, heartbreaking, the OST nails it, she takes out so many Colossals. Adapted better than I could have hoped.
I just find it funny how they went all out in the Chainsaw Man EDs, and for this here the visuals were just subpar, especially in comparison to the previous outro. The song itself is magnificent, like always.

Seeing this reminds me that this is truly a story about love 😘😍😊
Sarcasm of course lol
I think it's going to be the exact same with maybe some slight additions and difference. Do think it'll probably be held in a higher regard cause of the animation, music, voice acting, and so on but, then again, actually seeing some of these dumb-ass lines outside of a manga might make it worse. Who knows.
When Armin says "Thank you Eren" after he wipes out 80% of the human population 💀
The fact that they're botching the release so badly sucks, but at the very least I'm happy we're supposedly getting the perfect middle ground between a tv show and movie that makes no compromises from what I'm hearing
Mappa: "No! We don't want that! A worldwide audience watching the final two episodes of Attack on Titan? We want them to think about their own shows and nothing else for the rest of their lives! Even after the series ends... we want the show to be Japan-exclusive for a while! Ten years at least!"
What a great episode. I'm really hoping the ending gets a couple tweaks... at least, fix some of the dialogue and Eren going back in time to get his mom eaten. I would like more Historia but I'm not expecting anything for that.
Edit: I can guess we can start with Armin not thanking Eren for genocide. I'll take just that at least. Please.

If I were Isayama I would definitely tweak that shit in the anime, after having years to think about it.
Surely they know they must at the very least tweak that line.
Now I have complete faith in Mappa to tweak the ending enough to make it more digestible. Hange's death scene for example was a lot better while in the manga seemed more useless.
At this point manga readers were already mixed on the last arc but the reaction to this episode seems to be very positive.
Also, not even in a million years I expected the rumbling to look this good, Mappa is wonderful.

So, I didn't really put this together when I was reading the manga, but I feel like the anime makes it pretty clear that Eren and Mikasa's cabin life actually did happen and was the "first cycle." In the manga, I thought it was just some sort of alternate "what if" scenario that Eren showed Mikasa when he was having his private conversations with everyone.
With that said...I'm still very much hoping that we are in the third cycle instead of the second.
Excellent episode.

Excellent episode.
The very beginning of the episode looks like Mikasa taking Eren's face into her hands when he dies in the cabin timeline and then wakes up under the tree in the first episode (or, hopefully, in the first issue of the manga). His face doesn't have the titan marks but that would make it too obvious.
They way they open the episode with this scene, and the way they show them sequentially like this, makes it looks like they were happening in order.
When Eren shows Mikasa the "what if" scenario where they run off together.
The idea would be that it actually happened, then when Eren dies from the curse of Ymir, he wakes up under the tree to do it all over again.
That's how I interpreted it in the manga also. But the anime makes me feel a bit differently.
Showing the Yeager grandparents during the Rumbling is a really good addition from the manga. Makes me wonder what other small additions they could make in the next part.
I liked it as well, although in retrospect, showing Liberio's destruction and only those two implies right there and then that all the other Liberio characters have escaped somehow...
Some (good) additions here and there would certainly help, yeah...
Not saying they'll feel the same way (especially as an anime only fan), but lol at some of the posts saying they can't see how they'll dislike the ending with just one episode left
I remember when I thought the same thing with a chapter or two to go... 💀

I really hope nothing about the ending is changed. I really wanna see how anime only fans react to a lot of that nonsense.
Rumbling scene went fucking HARD. Now I want a full series remake with this level of brutality in it.
The ending is most probably gonna gain a lot by animation, music and VA alone. In the manga each person reads at their own pace, and the final chapters didn't do it justice by having to wait a month between those big moments, we had too much time on our hands to speculate and really think abotu everything.
The final final final episode will feel great imo in the moment. The most critical watchers will join the discussion, while the rest will just "that was amazing, now to another thing".
