Review of Attack on Titan: Final Season - The Final Chapters

After years of hearing about how horrible the AOT ending was this ending really came as a shock. I loved it. This was exactly how I imagined a story like AoT would end, and how it should, the ending was fitting, it worked, and that's the biggest praise I can give. I was afraid the show would go for some ridiculously hopeful or optimistic ending, essentially circumventing the grounded realism that typified the story. If there is one thing I hate about stories that explore the concept of the kobayashi Maru it's when they completely side-step the issue and go "no, there is no Kobayashi Maru!!!! Bad guysare just bad and everything can be overcome with the power of friendship", it's such a weak and cowardly story move and I am glad to see AoT didn't fall into that trap. Rather than throw away everything we can learn from the story in the last second the story stayed true to itself and remained a masterpiece.
10/10, would recommend to anyone, one of the great stories of our time.
