The beloved anime series, Attack on Titan, is inching closer to its dramatic conclusion, leaving fans in anticipation of how its ending will be portrayed in the anime adaptation. While manga readers may already know the outcome, the challenge lies in bringing this epic saga to life on screen.
According to a post on the Attack On Fans’ Twitter account, the recording for the anime has officially concluded. The next crucial step in the production process is completing the soundtrack, an integral component of Attack on Titan’s captivating storytelling. Once this step is accomplished, viewers can expect the final chapters to be ready for consumption.
Attack on Titan may not be the longest-running anime or manga series, especially when compared to enduring giants like One Piece, which has maintained its popularity for over two decades. Nevertheless, Attack on Titan has managed to deliver a gripping four-season story within a decade, marked by some of the most emotionally charged and heartbreaking scenes in anime history.
The series follows the journey of Eren Jaeger, who witnesses his mother’s tragic demise at the hands of a Titan, leading him and his childhood friends, Mikasa and Armin, to enlist in the battle against these horrifying creatures. As they mature within the military, their characters undergo profound changes, not all of which are for the better. One of the central arcs of the series revolves around Eren’s transformation from a hero to an antagonist, or at the very least, an anti-hero. In the recent seasons, he has harbored deep-seated hatred for Mikasa and used his Titan abilities to carry out acts of genocide. The final chapters will provide crucial insights into the fates of these characters and how they will confront their formidable adversary.
While this marks the end of an era for Attack on Titan, it is also a testament to the series’ remarkable storytelling. Crafting a concise narrative with fully developed character arcs is no small feat, and Attack on Titan has successfully achieved this. Despite facing criticism for a perceived drop in quality, the manga’s conclusion is regarded as a fitting one. Eren, one of the most morally ambiguous characters in anime, has been building toward this moment for some time. Whether viewers admire or detest him, they can’t deny the impact of his character’s journey. For those who haven’t delved into the manga, the anime’s final episodes promise an emotional and action-packed climax that will determine the fate of these unforgettable characters.
