I don’t see a discussion thread for the recently concluded Attack on Titan anime series, so here it is. Mods, feel free to delete if inappropriate.

  • It’s not about the characters pulling it off better but the story. Justifying all the plot holes by calling Eren an idiot doesn’t mean the plot holes weren’t there.

    Best example of a pathetic breakdown from protagonist done well is actually the Death Note manga. They foreshadowed it from the get go and the story was fairly logical.

      Yeah, fair enough. I personally am just happy that we got an ending that works and sticks to its themes. Could it have been better? Absolutely, but after Game of Thrones, I’m happy AoT was able to give us an ending that works as a bow tie. On the foreshadowing bit though, Eren was always shown to be prone to hatred and violence, so I dont feel like any of his decisions ever seemed out of character
