To the boy who sought freedom, goodbye.
5 November 2023
Having completed the manga last year itself since the story was too gripping to be put on hold, I may not have been surprised by every twist and surprise thrown at me but absolutely LOVED watching this episode in animation. Even thought it's basically a feature length film than a regular 20-minute episode, it delivers a crescendo of nonstop action and drama throughout the duration, and KILLS IT.

The animation was marvelous. If there's one thing I have always loved about this anime from the beginning, it is the action sequences, and the makers definitely saved the best one for the finale. Looking as if filmed from a camera rather than drawn on paper or a computer screen, this episode is the best dose anime action fans can give themselves.

The dialogues, the plot and the character drama alone prove AOT is worthy of being regarded as a high-quality, heart-stopping literature. And this episode shows what happens when you accurately balance fighting with drama: the perfect entertainment. This is one thing this anime has never failed at.

In the end, it's the mangaka we must credit for such an epic, timeless story to come alive on the screen in the first place. Thank you Mr. Isayama. This would never be possible without you writing the story of a boy who sought freedom. Eren and Mikasa would never be forgotten, because part of what makes this story so intense and powerful is them. No matter what opinions others hold, for me this is the most powerful final episode in a long while and would remember it for years to come. Goodbye, Attack on Titan.
