So I have a few opinions as a non-manga reader. Based on the comments I've seen so far, it seems a lot of readers who hated the manga ending were a bit more ok with how the anime executed it, specifically with how they changed Armin agreeing to Eren's genocide plan in the manga.

My one minor gripe is how Eren/Ymir undid the titan change of the secondary/minor characters (Jean, Connie, Gabi, Annie's/Pieck's/Reiner's parents, etc.). I feel like the impact would've been greater if only the primary titans lose their abilities, and the rest died. Jean and Connie's conversation before they turned was amazing and them coming back made it lose its impact. Then maybe Annie and Pieck go into self exile because of what happens and only Armin and Reiner return as ambassadors. Oh maybe Annie stays for Armin.

Question for the people who are more knowledgeable: I get Eren and Armin conversing on the beach and Eren wiping it from Armin's memory until the after the end, but when does Eren and Mikasa hiding out in the countryside happen?

I need a 45 minute video explaining what happened

I didn't read the manga, but I think the show wrapped up good. It didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Also the Schindler's list moment was great.

I felt somewhat disappointed with the manga ending back when I read it. I even remember reading some quotes from the author where he said he thought he “didn’t execute it well”, or something to that effect. It all just left me feeling a little deflated.

This was a very difficult ending to pull off in the best of circumstances, and then it unfortunately had some problems with pacing and clarity. Nothing too major, really, but just enough to make everything feel a little off. It wasn’t a great way to feel at the end of an otherwise 10/10 story.

However, I am extremely pleased with the anime ending! I felt like they totally addressed the issues I encountered. The pacing in general felt so much better, and in particular I think the rework of the conversation between Eren and Armin was excellent.

I think this is the best version of the story. I’m glad it came out the way it did and that people are receiving it positively

Watched this one last night before going to bed. Woke up this morning and haven't been able to think of anything else today. The show nailed it. I generally liked the ending when I read the manga, but seeing it all animated last night, I can't think of this story being told any other way. It was perfect for me.

I don't have much to add what hasn't been said already, but god I love a good epilogue. I was a bit scared that they'd just cut to black after Mikasa walks off with Erens head but they gave us propper few-months-later, few-decades-later and even a rare and elusive in-the-distant-future epilogue.

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't really get why Eren did the Rumbling. He knew that ultimately he'd fail and conflict would come back to Paradise. Did he do it to make himself a sort of evil martyr or did he even have a choice?

Also, is Historia not the queen of Paradise anymore? Her home didn't look very Queen like and I don't think she was ok with that fascist movement happening there.

Also, what was up with the people at that fascist parade, why did they look like grown up Gabi and Falco and their (dead) friends? Is this just my face blindness?
