After a fair amount of controversies, a “Final Season” that lasted almost three whole years, and a polarizing manga ending, the anime adaptation of Hajime Isayama’s iconic saga gets an epic, feature-length finale that brilliantly encapsulates why this story became so popular and gives it a satisfying and thematically resonant closure. Wrapping up almost 100 episodes of intense action, brutal deaths, and enough plot twists to leave M. Night Shyamalan slack-jawed with awe was no small task, but what is arguably the defining anime of this generation has come to a fantastic end that pays off spectacularly in nearly every way.
Studio MAPPA has struggled to keep up with the production demands of this final season of Attack on Titan, but both specials in The Final Chapters more than delivered on the level of visual quality fans have come to expect. Whether it’s the dynamic and fluid 2D ODM gear scenes – including a standout sequence by returning and legendary animator Arifumi Imai – or the detailed and kinetic clash of Titans, this is the best MAPPA’s Attack on Titan has looked. Seeing all the resurrected Titans, and the vast variety of designs – which somehow also pays off the season 2 opening with all the Titan animals – is very metal. In fact, the entire Battle of Heaven and Earth is just wall-to-wall hero moments for all, with every character getting a cool and memorable glory shot – even Pieck – while Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto’s score pays homage to the 10-year history of the show with nostalgic music cues, even bringing back Linked Horizon for a fantastic final theme song.
Of course, it’s not all just cool and gnarly fights. After keeping Eren’s thoughts and motivations at arm’s length for the entire Final Season, the finale finally has Armin and Mikasa confront him. Yuki Kaji cements his performance as Eren as one of the all-time best voice performances in an anime, with the finale showing the most vulnerable we’ve ever seen him, and the most emotionally raw Kaji’s performance has been. But he’s not alone, as Yui Ishikawa and Marina Inoue also do some of their best work as Mikasa and Armin, respectively. We’ve seen these two characters struggle with Eren’s betrayal for so long, it is cathartic to finally see them find a way to move forward.
