NEWS: Attack on Titan The Final Season Anime's 'Conclusion' to Air in 2023

Also just going to go on record and say that the ending of AOT is pretty okay. Now when the manga was finishing and people had legitimate criticisms, I was appreciative of their perspective. Unfortunately, I have since changed my mind after seeing the discourse via the anime. It appears that the reason people hate AOTs ending it because they hate how the characters are trying to stop the genocide of billions of innocent people. They are people who think Eren is a super-chad, edge-lord, badass, that Floch is based (and not a fascist) and the rest of the characters are "cringevengers" (???????). I would say more but the spoiler tag is giving me problems on mobile...so whatever. Just really dissapointed by the lack of good faith criticism from the 12-18 year old age grou-.....oh wait I now see the problem.

Looking forward to this!

This is the announcement I've been expecting since Part 2 started airing. Someone had postulated that the series would end with a movie and suddenly it became canon instead of opinion. Seeing the pacing of the episodes made it obvious there would be a Part 3 because ending with a movie just doesn't make sense. I don't know why so many people really believed it would happen and I especially don't understand why they would WANT it to happen, given the number of chapters left in the manga and the fact that a movie wouldn't be released for 2 years (at least). Movies are supplements, not a way to end a long-running series that's already been completed.

Am I happy that the "final" has been dragged out this long? Of course not. But I am glad to know that we'll get a proper ending even if it's next year. I can wait. And even if I can't, I can just read the manga. Yes, really; it's an option, people.

Using Mushoku Tensei and 86 as examples, those really should have been season 1 and 2. There was enough narrative differences, character changes, changes in location, and a gap between release to justify them being different seasons.

In those cases, the whole season was being worked on and was announced as 26 episodes from the start split in half. This was before each respective show even aired (MT did have a delay for S1P2 admittedly but that wasn't part of the production).

This is different from AoT's "final season" because they likely didn't even know how many episodes they needed to do. In fac, I was surprised they called it "The Final Season" when they first announced it because the manga was like a year away from ending and I was like "Wait, do they already know how many episodes they need?" I thought they may have been working with the mangaka to pace out the story like Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood did but nope.
