Here we are... the last episode of this cultish anime has just been released and there's so much to say...
If you haven't watched the last episode of this show yet, watch it now and then come back and read my review, I'm going to spoil.
First of all, SNK is for me one of the anime that brought me into this universe, I grew up and matured with SNK.
Now that this series is officially over, it leaves me with both a sense of accomplishment and a strange feeling, one that leaves me on the edge of my seat, since I'd have liked to have seen a little more philosophical dialogue between the characters (for example I would have liked to know what Eren said to Mikasa at the very end) and more explanation from Eren on where the titans' powers come from (I may have misunderstood but I don't think it's explained why this "Alien" came to help and give Ymir his powers).
This ending is logical. It's not intended to provide solutions to humanity's endless quarrels. Eren knew very well that this was not going to be the case, but he wanted at least his friends and his people to be able to live without suffering, and this ending is exactly what it should be. Eren suffered enormously to achieve this, he had to take on the role of humanity's murderer, sacrificing his own people in the process, so that after killing so much he couldn't live in the world he would have built for them either, but in the end he succeeded in creating it for his people and for his friends.
I'll remember this anime for the rest of my life. It brought me so much. We can now officially say that this anime is part of history with a capital H and that it is, and I hope will remain cult.
Thank you to everyone involved in creating this masterpiece.
