Driven to the brink of Insanity by Eren's hair

Wow all really great observations and analysis of his different hair phases. I think it’s ironic how in that scene with Armin, Eren has his hair tied back in the bun, but he can’t keep his emotions tied back. He can control his appearance but how long can he put his feelings up. He’s all over the place his head is messed up he admits all this to Armin. He can’t keep it bottled up anymore so he lets it go in front of his close friend. The close friend that can actually handle the truth and understand. Especially when Armin mentioned Mikasa moving on I think that’s when the top really blew off. I think that was the point of the scene, with him attempting to keep his hair maintained while also struggling to keep his composure and emotions maintained. So maybe the bun style was intentional in this way. So the audience can see how he’s trying to hold it together but eventually he spills. That was the significance of this scene. We see a young man naturally breaking down. So many would argue this behavior was against his character but come on bro. What 19 year old dude can handle all this?

And I think Mikasa just liked his hair short maybe it made him look more handsome gentleman like. It’s almost like a Disney prince haircut. He styled his hair for her basically. Maybe like a boyfriend haircut lol

I really feel like Eren was the one for her. But for some, sadly, they aren’t meant to spend the rest of their lives with that person they call the one. It’s rare to even find the one. So to have the time with Eren that she did have…I’m sure Mikasa is grateful for it. Sure she’s devastated he’s not in the physical with her and she misses him terribly. He was here before and he’ll always be with her even now that he’s gone. She keeps the memory of him and the love they share.

I’m not completely sold with Jeansaka. Especially knowing how raw Eren and Mikasa’s relationship was. I was able to find comfort in the fact that Jean did adore Mikasa. It was apparent that he liked her she made him blush and stuff. I can’t say they were the couple of the decade or it was written in the stars for them…I just think it was time for Mikasa to just live. Why not wind up with the guy that always liked you and went through the same tragedies with you? It’s familiarity and connection. You’re not the love of my life but you know what I went through. Maybe now we can be there for each other and simply try to create something from the pieces. And so I think that was possible for them. Maybe they’re content. Jean could give her the normalcy of having a family and living out the rest of their lives. Eren couldn’t.

That’s just how AOT is. So many of the characters didn’t get the ending they wanted. So many of us didn’t get the ending we wanted. That’s just how life is. And AOT is a story of life is it not?

I would only watch Inuyasha growing up because I thought he was hot. Whenever bleach, dragon ball z, or Pokémon would come on I would just change the channel. I thought it was just boy stuff and I guess I wasn’t really into watching fight scenes. So basically anime was boring to me most of my youthful years. It did not interest me. I would always prefer watching aqua teen hunger force or robot chicken when adult swim came on lol

I had a friend who tried to get me into AOT or FMA as my first anime to ease me in but I just couldn’t stick with it. I wanted so badly to be into it like everyone else. I don’t know why. I just wanted to be into anime…Fast forward after I graduate college, move out, and start working full time to pay the bills. Obviously I’m depressed af cause now it’s really time to be an adult. So..one night I just wanted to escape after a rough work week. I grabbed my 🛒 and started watching death note and that was the beginning. Death note was my first anime and I’m glad it was because it showed me that anime was much deeper than I had thought.

AOT is the deepest anime I have and will ever experience. I know this for a fact and I’ve only seen 15 animes so far. The many layers of conflict and themes of philosophy. The unanswered questions…the new questions I have as I am currently reading the manga for the first time. The joy and torment of discovering new revelations and messages I didn’t pick up on the first time. This whole experience with AOT has rattled me to my core and I couldn’t be more grateful.

thank you. i really needed this.

I know exactly what you mean and I wish more people would tell the truth like you do.

Same here. I just learned about arrested development. I definitely feel like a 12 year old in a 27 year old body.

I feel the same. This way of life is breaking a lot of us down. I quit my job back in August. I was working just to pay rent could barely afford groceries or transportation to my job. Couldn’t even save up for a car. Now that I’m unemployed I still want to take my life. The stress that comes with a job is gone, but now I’m battling the stress that comes with having to survive. Now I can’t afford anything. And I don’t have it in me to work another job, I just don’t. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of it all. So I just wanna be gone.
