“The end of one of the greatest stories of all time. This piece of art has provided me with every emotion possible,” onewrote on Twitter. Anotheradded: “The people who said the ending was bad did not understand AOT and I just feel sorry for y’all tbh. SHIT WAS A MASTERPIECE!!!”

One simplysaid:“All good things must come to an end.”
Not everyone was pleased with how The Rumbling came to a close, however.
“Finished the Attack on Titan finale, and my god, does it just feel like an awful fan fiction,” oneremarked. “How can a show with so much potential at the start become so bad.”
Another viewerwrote, “As this is one of my favorite anime of all time, i’ll say I’m pretty disappointed with this episode and ending as a whole. rly disappointed they chose this ending for my fav anime. 5/10 for this ending, everything else 10/10.”

Others were middle of the road and a little less effusive with their reactions. Onecommented, “‘Fine’ is how I feel, I liked the conclusion and how it ended but nothing stood out as amazing or awesome to me, some good fights, no real twists or anything it ended exactly how I thought, nice happy 7/10 ending.” Anotheradded: “It was a good episode, let’s just leave it at that.”
