This is my thread for AoT's final volume 34 (135-138). As it doesn't have a cover yet I'll just use the magazine cover instead but I'm making an exception and not giving it a score this time until the last chapter comes, and I'll do a separate whole thread for the final chapter.

Why is EoE so scary if it also is so hopeful? The answer was given in the TV ending. In a way instrumentality represents absolute freedom, you're not tied down to anything, even your physical form, but absolute freedom can also be scary without something to ground you.

Rereading AoT has me considering it for my top 1 manga again but even on just one read Berserk has held it so let's compare.
AoT vs Berserk:

Panelling: Berserk
Themes: AoT
World: AoT
Action: Berserk
Aesthetic: Berserk

I reread AoT volume 26 and it was another 11/10.

I reread AoT volume 22 and gotta give this the 11/10 too.

And the mountain of corpses aren't just nameless characters either, here we see Mike, Gelgar & Nanaba. I actually really appreciate how even if we don't care about a lot of these very minor characters, Isayama really does. He never just invents new characters, they really *exist*

Today's a great day for my mutuals to read or reread MHA. It's genuinely a great work of storytelling and superhero-fiction, filled with nuanced characters and societal themes, and can be mature and heavy while still remaining optimistic and good-natured.

I reread AoT volume 11 and for having this arc at a strong 8 before I don't think I can give it less than a 9 now, just on a mathematic level because this volume is a 9/10 again.

I reread AoT volume 10 and that's another fat 9/10. Just gonna get right into this bitch

I made a quick 3x3 of what I see as the biggest cultural landmarks through anime history. I also tried to make them match on different levels both in choices and placements.
