If you don't know the ending then you should probably leave now. I actually kinda want them to use Paths to have a different ending from the manga. I know there's pretty much no chance of this actually happening but i just don't want to see Eren die again. But considering the PV actually has Mikasa say "See You Later, Eren" it's definitely not going to happen, but i still cant help but hope. Just thinking about it is making me sad again. Edit: It's over, guys. This is the end. It's finally over. While I might not have been with it as long as some people have, I still have fond memory with it. I still remember reading all the crazy fan theories about what's going to happen and the ending and the analysis on the music videos which words really fail to convey how much they awed me. I absolutely adore the soundtrack which will stick with me till the very end. And the crazy good animations with the ODM gears will never cease to impress me. I still remember the first time I watched the first episode of season 4 and it just felt like an entirely different thing and anticipating the return of the Paradis squad. It was also the time where it was crazy popular and you just heard it being talked about everywhere. While my watch hasn't really been completed yet, I feel like it was necessary to put into words the feelings I current possess. It feels really bittersweet to let you go and say goodbye but alas every encounter also has a farewell. You'll always have a special place in my heart. I never thought Attack on Titan would end up meaning this much to me. Truly thank you for the great memories, I had a lot of fun. It's a sad day but not one to mourn. Shinzo wo Sasageyo!
