Looking back on this a month later, this felt more like a review of all the seasons past s4. If you loved s4, you'll love this show. If you didnt love s4, but loved s1-3, you likely wont enjoy this show. However, reading back on this, being the person who liked s1-s3 but nothing after, I agree with everything I said, along with the score. However, I can understand if you dont agree.

My review after watching the Attack On Titian S4 P3 P2

Let me preface this by saying that I am a fan of Attack On Titian, and that I enjoyed season One, Two, and Three. And this review will not include anything manga related, as I have not read it, and this is an anime. However, and my opinion may change after the fact, and I may come to not agree with this, but in my current mindset, this is one of the worst endings to an anime I have had to see. Truthfully, this entire season, that being season four, was horrible, but this ending was in a class of its own.

My first of many gripes is with the plot, the story, the thing I came to watch this show about. With this, I truly believe this was not thought about for more than a day. I think the entire storyboard of this plot was made after a long night of drinking and they just rolled with it. I want to first start with the most annoying plot point of all the show, the catch all that stops you from pointing out the other dreadful plot points: Eren's ability to change the past, and to see the future. This is so fucking stupid. To introduce it for the first time in a scene from the s3 finale that most people forgot about, and to make the the most important plot point of the show? This is horrible. Words cannot describe how disappointment I am. And with this plot armor so think demon slayer wouldn't even dare to make, the show just says "oh I'm a little idiot, I'm a goof, thats why i couldn't find a way to avoid killing 80% of the world"? You have to be joking, this is awful. But besides that, the founder ymir as a character brought only horrible plot decisions, like they simply never explain why ymir was looking for mikasa besides she has the power to remove all titians, somehow? And why does mikasa have that power? We get it, she was a big part of the story, you dont need to make random plot points up just to make her an integral part of the story though.

And besides the paper-thin plot, the fights and animation is pretty cool i guess. Like if you wanted to see this show because cool odm gear and blood and slicing off heads, you got what you wanted. But no one is watching this show muted, we can all hear the absolutely horrible scene in the paths.

This show turned from a balls to the walls, fight filled madness with a good story into a anime focused solely on story, not leaving much room for fights. Which I would had loved, if they did the story right. The issue isn't with the anime's plot armor, or the catch-alls, or the founder ymir, but just direction of the story. Hell, Demon Slayer has horrible problem of plot armor and they still do a season or two well enough. The only thing that went wrong is the plot, and when you base your whole show around that, its going to get bad reception. This ending to me seems like they saw the vision of eren being buried under the tree on the hill, and the rest of the side characters trying to mend the relations between both sides. And while creating this perfect ending, the destination, they tripped, they tumbled, and they bodged the journey, the season to get to the ending. Its horrible that it had to end this way. I wish it didn't.>
