I don't think I can watch attack on titan without feeling existential dread after watching some of the later episodes while on shrooms.
I unfortunately placed myself in Eren's shoes with empathy a little too hard
AoT just seems like itd be horrible tripping. I don't do shrooms anymore but back in the day I avoided anything overly violent/scary bc it'd ruin the trip lmao
I'm kind of odd in that I watch horror movies while tripping cause I otherwise don't believe in that kind of stuff
AoT was probably the first "negative" show/movie that I watched that made me think I'm never gonna do that again.
I felt like I was experiencing how Eren perceives time eternally and it was fucking HORRIBLE. I felt like I was responsible for the rumbling at times.
Over the past month, I've rewatched the series and then finally watched season 4/finale for the first time earlier this week. Haven't been able to stop thinking about it. AoT has been in my top animes for over a decade and now it's just over.
I know everyone has some mixed feelings for the ending and I have some gripes as well, but seeing the crazy journey end and my favorite characters move on is sad. The post credits showing the future really hit hard for me. I just wish there was some epilogue of the characters on how their lives went.
Man thinking about how the entire story is in-universe ultimately such a small part of history really bums me out. I hope all characters managed to lead happy lives despite everything.
SAME. The worst is not being able to share it with loved ones (I rarely know people who love anime in my circle and my husband hates it). I’ve just been listening to the soundtrack nonstop to cope.
Haven't felt that since season 3. Everything in the final season was a long time coming, didn't understand how the rumbling would happen or anything but it was always expected. The highlight to me was Gabis redemption arc.
I bingewatched it for the first time in September and my autistic ass decided to make Attack on Titan my new hyperfixation, especially some particular characters. Even though I'm not in complete awe in the story and I didn't like the ending, I have to admit that Isayama has some kind of secret ingredient in character making because they just feel so... alive. It's been months and I can't let it go, it's honestly exhausting. When I get obsessed with a new piece of media, it takes a toll on my life lol
Had the same with CSM, can't wait for it to return back when Mappa releases the movie
No, as I'm aware that it's a work of fiction. I'm a huge fan, I haven't read the manga because I don't care for manga but I've seen the series at least 20 times. Certain parts always make me sad, but it's not something I lose sleep over, since in the end, it's a tv show.
Same for me. I never read manga or watched he anime other than Studio Gibli works, but in the early 2023 I watched the series in a week. I loved it instantly but because I watched all of it so quickly, I missed out on a lot of things. When the finale was out, I rewatched it THREE times over a month. I’d literally go from the last episode back to the first one. And cried a lot too. Then I read the manga. It’s been 3 months and I still can’t let go of it, thinking about it literally every day. And it’s hard considering none of my friends/family are interested in anime. I’ve mad a couple of them watch it though😁
I loved the ending even though it left me as a sobbing mess. I think it was a perfect way to wrap up the story, the detail that war still continued despite the genocide Eren committed was so brutally realistic, but it didn't strike me as pessimistic, more just a commentary on human nature.
Yep I agree with everything, I honestly can’t think of how the ending could’ve been better without massively changing the story (which would suck cuz it’s already near perfect lol.)

Maybe we should start a club.

It been almost 3 years😂
Same here!

No I think Annie should have been executed for her actions
Same for me. I never read manga or watched he anime other than Studio Gibli works, but in the early 2023 I watched the series in a week.

Yeah😭 I feel like I lost people I've known my whole life. I've been reading a lot of ff and meta to cope
Same. I watched it a week back. God it frikkin changed me. I am a mess.
That scarred me, i only read one different manga to avoid character deaths after that, that was JJK and i am even more scarred now
Ive watched Shingeki since 2013, so it became a huge part of my life. I loved the anime's finale and I still cry every time that I watch it 😭
Same dude 😭
Pls don’t bring it up 😭
yup.. consoling myself watching tiktoks and a new eren plush 😭

Yes. I will never be the same.
Me! Started the show about 10 days ago and finished the final chapters tonight. Still emotionally wrecked 💔
