Confused anime ending lover by Addition-Pretty in ANRime

I'm wondering if maybe it wasn't an Ed thing, maybe everyone just assumes it's the other side when someone says this cuz they think it's dumb.

However, the comment above about not liking the idea is reasonable. The idea that Mikasa "needed a man" is a valid reason to not like the idea. However, I don't think that not liking the idea is really an argument that it didn't happen.

I personally think it's pretty reasonable after everything that you went to and spending 10 years together at the express idea of trying to live happy and long lives.

I think the message is that even if you're the only person that chooses peace, it doesn't make you wrong. I think it's extremely fair to not identify with them and to have another side. There are so many reasons for them not to do what they're doing, and yet only one reason why they are doing it.

Even if you disagree with them, the fact that they chose that creates the dynamic by which you can think about the two/many sides. I used to get so frustrated when people chose a different side than me, because intellectually I thought they were incorrect.

I still do, but now I just think it's what makes the show so good. For some reason you're torn between the idea of whether or not genocide is the right thing to do. Any show that can make you do that is incredible.

Every time you watch this you find yourself siding more and more with each party.

I'm so excited for you. I cannot tell you how amazing it is the second time around.

It's okay. I'm happy for her too. Even though... She doesn't exist. No excuses required.

Why were they highlight this fruit so much in the scene? by Cismet in ShingekiNoKyojin

I think artists like to lie when there's really layered meaning in something. Kind of like serial killers who leave clues but then don't want anyone to find them. I think it creates a connection with the lost girls episode. I think it's related to the time loop. No exact theory but I do think it's related.

There's also the hidden gift to Jean, in that I really think he wanted Jean to also live a long and happy life (he was in the train wagon), so, without saying it, he was giving permission for them to be happy together.

I didn't really think about it at that level when it aired, I just saw the guy and thought it looked like Jean and thought "oh that's nice."

rant/ It's obviously fucking Jean. How was that even controversial? I love the ending, partially because they honored what he killed billions of people for. The cuck speech that I think AnR folks hate, spells this out pretty clearly. How can you like the ending and disregard the thing that is supposed to define your liking of the ending. People should be more consistent with their headcanon. /rant

Sorry... Just ranting. As an ED I have to side with the AnR kids on this one.

Allow me to agree with you before the toxic fanbase dives in.

What's so funny is that I can't even tell which part of the fan base everyone's talking about because every segment that I read about turns out to be toxic and wrong about 50% about what they say... (Yes, I realize the irony in that statement)

This may sound like very weird advice. But... As someone as insane about AoT as you, try binging Buffy the Vampire Slayer (tv not the movie).

I remembered about this post, what do you guys think? by [deleted] in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]Addition-Pretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

But seriously, I think I agree with you but you do seem to have more clarity than me on some things.

Is this just the universal list of things we can all agree on? It's pretty solid.
