The following contains full spoilers for Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2, which is now available to stream on Crunchyroll and Funimation.
After almost a decade, Attack on Titan has finally come to an end, with The Final Season reaching its proper, undeniable conclusion… well, Part 2 of The Final Season, anyway. This chapter brings apocalyptic horror accompanied by Studio MAPPA's best animation and goosebumps-inducing voice acting, all while the themes of the show are finally brought to the forefront. Though it is unfortunate that we have to wait another year to truly see the end of this story, this season is Attack on Titan at its very best.
The first part of The Final Season was about the attack on Marley and the rise of the Yeagerist faction, with Eren starting to distance himself from his friends. Part 2, then, was all about Eren's full descent into the ultimate villain and the rise of the resistance, with the start of the Rumbling threatening to flatten the Earth and forcing old comrades to betray one another as they weigh the wellbeing of those they know against saving the lives of those they don't.
At the center of this, of course, is Eren Yeager himself. It has been Attack on Titan’s biggest accomplishment to see Eren get one of the best heel turns not just in anime, but in all of fiction since Walter White. After last season presented a cold, closed-off Eren, this season finally revealed his plan to annihilate every last human outside of Paradis Island. What makes his arc so satisfying is how clear the show is about it not being a sudden 180; Eren is no Daenerys. Instead, the murderous rage inside him has always been there. Eren has always been headstrong and brash, idealistic to the extreme even before we met him in Season 1 – we just went along with it because he is the protagonist and because his anger was directed at nameless Titans rather than men, women, and children.
Much of the season was devoted to reconciling Eren's actions with the kid we knew, and trying to understand what led him to activate the Rumbling, with revelations that recontextualized everything we thought we knew about the show. Rather than follow him through this whole ordeal, we spend half of the season without even seeing Eren, but he still casts such a large shadow that we consistently feel his presence even when he is literally hundreds of feet in the air as a terrifying whale Titan. Attack on Titan makes the brilliant choice of distancing us from him and focusing instead on how the other characters react to Eren's actions.
Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2 suffers from a couple of oddly paced episodes, and the fact that it isn't the actual ending takes away from the impact of its finale. Still, by the time the final scene of the season finale arrives and we see the Titans obliterating Marley while we hear Eren's speech from all the way back in Season 1 about wa...
Attack on Titan reaches its darkest chapter yet, with bleak, horrifying imagery, devastating emotional revelations that recontextualize the entire story so far, some of the best action scenes in the entire show, and one of the best character arcs in all of anime.

amazing
Attack on Titan's (almost) final season is the show at its absolute bleakest, but it still finds time to be as exhilarating and complex as ever.
