Television Is 'Assault On Titan' completed/finished?

[GearSolidMetal]

Typically I'm not a fan of anime, but I've made a few exceptions. Assault On Titan S1-3 were one of those exceptions and I rather enjoyed it.

But I decided I'd only finish it when it's officially 'finished' and I heard they were hook-baiting the audience with if they were about to end it... wait there's going to be another set of episodes. They're about to end it.... wait they might be doing a theatrical movie as a series finale.

This is just from what I recall seeing on Twitter.

So anime fans in-the-know... is it 'finished?'

Yes. Final season was split into three to extend our suffering

Whoops. Meant 'Attack On Titan' not Assault.

So did it wrap it all up well?

I've heard some anime series have terrible endings, as if they have no idea how to end a long-running narrative.

It was alright. Really hard to end something like AOT that really gets that satisfactory feeling though.

Season three where the world breaks open is one of the best writing in any series written so it's really hard to back that up.

Certainly not one of the weaker last seasons. First few episodes were great if a little confusing.

Ending was absolute ass

This is most shows that are massive. Don't think it was horrible but season 3 ending was so good it makes season 4 ending look like ass in comparison.

AOT season 3 does that to damn near every show though.

*Sigh* I'm going to regret asking this...

Compare it to some endings of some more popular TV shows.

Game of Thrones?
Dexter?
Lost?
Sopranos?

Only watched sopranos and GOT.

Your list is kinda what I'm talking about.

Really hard for them to have the "phenomenal" ending everyone wants. Most all these endings get hated on. Without watching the others I'll put it below sopranos and above the rest just on what I know of their endings.

S4 is by no means badand starts off real good. Just hard to do justice with endings.

They mainly dont explain some stuff as far as i remember

Not as bad as GOT nowhere near which was total shitshow

Starts off strong, and by the third season you're thinking Jesus Christ that's exceptional stuff, but the end was meh.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

I remembered, the forest scene when the entire group on horseback is trying to do a wide maneuver is the best action sequence I've ever seen in my life. Incomparable with all the shooting and car chase horseshit in movies.

I stopped watching before s3 when I read that the ending was going to be terrible. I gave it a shot last weekend and s3 has phenomenal writing and build up. Now I understand why people are upset even when I haven't read the manga/spoilers.

 

[Scerpi]

Ending was absolute ass

I saw it heading that way

I rewatch the first three seasons though

Sooo good

 

[Natural Order]

I played the first video game version. Had no idea what the show was or about.

Flying around hacking off limbs of strange giant humans with creepy faces was a blast! Not sure if I paid attention to any of the dialogue though. Pretty good game though in that musou flavour.

Just watch it and give us a review.

I think majority of anime doesn't end well. Just finish it since you are already 3 seasons deep.

Think it's been three or four years since I watched the first three seasons. Going to be rewatching from the beginning and continue up to the finale.

May write a review of each season to compare & contrast.

It's not that bad. A lot of people forget that watching a show is also about the journey. Having a meh ending doesn't erase the fact that 95% of the getting there was awesome. Like let's say the last 30 mins could use being changed... well the hundred hours getting there were fun, so at that point just write in/imagine whatever you want that last half hour to be.

I'm beginning to think that the best series are considered goats because they had decent endings.

A bad ending can take a giant shit on a journey.

Make you regret watching the journey in the first place.

Very much so.

The Shield
Breaking Bad

Two of the GOAT shows, and the endings were cherries on top of the sundaes, rather than giant shits on them.
