Attack on Titan is a generation defining masterpiece. Over the past 10 years, Attack on Titan or, Shingeki no Kyojin, has been one of the most popular, most loved, and most complex and interesting story that give us an important message relevant to our past, present and future. The lore, the characters, everything, has evolved overtime, and its different plot lines, characters, music, scenes, everything has become memorable for a huge generation. Attack on Titan's ending it the equivalent of some of the entertainment's biggest events in story telling for the Anime community. This is the climax of the story spanning over a decade to finish,and well for some it may not be perfect, for some it's amazing, for me and a lot of people, this season and the whole show overall is a masterpiece.

Story: 10/10
The story of Attack on Titan was pretty simple at first. Humans vs Titans, humans surviving in a titan apocalypse, and back in the first few episodes and seasons that was just it, but now the story has evolved over the past few seasons to something more something greater, something that has blown the minds of every viewer, instilled fear, emotion, joy, excitement, anger, hatred in them, and has created a community that has together supported the show, and brought people who can share their theories, and opinions.

This season's final chapter has a story that has made me excited, laugh, and cry. This is the end of one of our favorite stories, so this is most likely to be emotional for all. From these last 2 movies/episodes, we are able to see beauty unfold in this dark and cruel story. These last chapters are a love letter to every season that came before it, we end up seeing all our favorite characters that have leaded us up to this point face their greatest battle and ultimately their climax. The story captures everything it needed to do, it has created a bunch of iconic scenes and twists and turns that will define this generation and overall will be remembered for years to come. The ending left many viewers, including me, satisfied, it gave a fitting conclusion to this amazing show. 10/10 for the story.

These last 2 episodes were animated beautifully by MAPPA and were made with so much care and detail, and it really shows how they have learned from past animation mistakes, and have really improved on everything. To me these last episodes have been the best animation quality Attack on Titan has had, and it has deserved. The blend of CGI and 2D animation is seamless and everything looks beautiful with all its colors and visuals. In this final chapter there have been many scenes that I can say are wallpaper, and poster worthy. Some scenes look super majestic, and it really gives the show the quality it deserves, and fixes some scenes that looked awkward in the manga. Without the masterfully drawn animation, we wouldn't have had some of the iconic scenes we have now because of this season. Amazing how a busy studio like MAPPA is able to produce this masterpiece level of quality for Attack on Titan, so I truly commend them for their hard work. Thank you MAPPA for this masterpiece.

Sound: 10/10
The soundtrack for Attack on Titan has always been spectacular, sure some scenes in past seasons may have felt better with a different soundtrack, but in this final chapter they have not missed anything. The music hits all the emotions and excitement felt through these final episodes and overall completes a scene. The OP and ED for the Episodic version of these episodes are beautifully made, and the final ending theme is just perfect. Linked Horizon has returned to great us with a final song for this masterpiece, just like when we first got Guren no Yumiya back in 2013. Over all perfect soundtrack.

Character: 10/10
By far, Attack on Titan's strongest points is its characters and how they have evolved throughout the seasons. The character growth of Eren has been my and many people's favorite. We get to wonder and ask questions like, "why did he start the rumbling?", "why is he abandoning his friends?", "is he truly free?", and all these questions are things that have kept us engaged with his character. Eren's 2 best friends Mikasa and Armin play a crucial role in this story and especially Mikasa's development, "will she be able to kill Eren if she has to?" that question is one of her weaknesses, and it's what makes her complex. Armin who has always been seen as weak by a lot of people has a chance to grow and overcome his weaknesses to become one of the strongest and most important character. These 2 character's and their journey with Eren through the years is what we have since the beginning to see the end of their journey has been emotional to say the least.

Attack on Titan is mainly about how humanity will always lead to war and destruction, and what the characters have been through to show that. This chapter is fascinating since our characters that were both enemies are made to join sides to stop a greater threat. The relationship among these characters is what truly makes Attack on Titan special. How it all ends, who dies and who lives?, I can't tell you, but for me the ending left me empty but satisfied. 10/10 for these masterfully crafted characters.

Enjoyment: 10/10
For my over all Enjoyment of Attack on Titan's last and final episodes, I'd say it was a masterpiece. No other work from me can describe how I overall felt about this show. The crazy twists, the amazing action scenes, the character development, everything, has made this experience perfect for me and I truly believe that anyone can find enjoyment and thrill along the ride that is Attack on Titan.

Attack on Titan has been a journey, through the harsh realities of war and genocide, to the experiences that give life meaning. It has been the gateway to the world of anime for many. This show is something special and something that has changed lives and can even teach us a lesson on how to better our future. The story of Eren, Mikasa, Armin, jean, Levi, Connie, Reiner, Hange, Erwin, Zeke, Bertolt, Sasha, Grisha, Ymir, and the others will be remembered as one of the most epic of stories. This journey after 10 years has ended and with it,

Attack on Titan will go down in history as one of the greatest shows of all time.
