Attack on Titan: Final Season — The Final Chapters Promotional (Studio MAPPA)

INTRODUCTION

Last year, despite the Attack on Titan anime still airing, I wrote my concluding thoughts on the series.

In the article, I argued that the whole point of AoT was to alarm us about the permanent consequences our actions may have. And that while we can learn from our mistakes, we can’t reverse their effects.

Now that the story has officially ended, what should we take from it?

Several videos and articles have already explained Attack on Titan’s ending.

But in this article, I simply want to write my farewell thoughts to one of the greatest anime of all time.

PLOT

Amidst Eren’s Rumbling, his friends and former enemies team up against his rampage.

Armin, Mikasa, and the Scout Regiment’s remaining members join forces with Reiner and the Marleyan troops. Their meager unit vows to stop the Rumbling and save Eren, if possible.
