You are not the only one. I am still stuck in the loop of re-watching and rereading AoT. I can't stop and won't; I feel it's better not to detach from something so profoundly beautiful that, it can stay with me for the rest of my life and I wouldn't mind a single bit. About the sad ending, I taught myself not to feel bad so much for Eren, since what he did was by all means evil and does not deserve sympathy.
He was literally pre-determined to commit genocide, though. He's the most tragic of characters. How can you not feel profound sympathy for him? He was trapped from birth in this time-loop of knowing (or forgetting he knew until kissing Historia's hand) that he'd wipe out 80% of mainland humanity. It's an impossible burden to bear. I don't think anybody except Ymir suffered more than Eren.
@@ChristAliveForevermore Sorta. I feel sympathy for him on some level, but just because it was "pre-determined" doesn't mean he wasn't in control. When Eren saw his future, it just meant that ultimately, this is what he would choose to do. So you can definitely still feel sympathy for him, but deep down something still drove him to do the Rumbling (even though he knew how wrong it was), which is why it happened. I do agree that it is an impossible burden to bear, knowing what he was going to do, but he is not guiltless. If he went on to change his mind about the Rumbling, he wouldn't have seen it in his future in the first place. Lmk if this makes sense, I just wanted to clarify this because I was confused about it at first
@@ChristAliveForevermore I really don't get the "predetermined to do this" part. Though Eren does say "I thought I was doing it to protect you guys," to Armin during one of the final scenes, "but I understand it now. I'm just a garden-variety idiot who got his hands on power." This confession made me realize that he in fact was in control of what he was doing, but I guess too arrogant to give up. He also gives off the vibe of a complete douchebag during the final season and speaks in a condescending manner to almost everyone, and is careless not only to innocent people outside the walls, but also to those around him: those who are most important to him. That said, I have never thought that Eren was a poorly built character, rather, I think he is one of the most well written and most fascinating characters in all of fiction.
Buddy, I've been with AOT for over 5 years now. And it doesn't let go. This whole story and this sadness squeezes my heart. And it's so hard to think about AOT because it's suffering. And also to think that you want to forget about it is suffering, because I don't want to let go. It seems to me that these are such lofty feelings that I don't want to give them up by becoming prosaic. The day I become indifferent, I will lose something valuable. Feeling feelings and emotions is the most important thing in life
Bro I binged the entire show in a week (finished last Monday). I had a serious fever during the time watching it and I'll admit I got soft too and exactly for the same reason. What helped me is not singling out Mikasa, AoT had plenty of sad stories and when you think about it its unfair to feel sorry only for her. It's too hard to feel sorry for everyone so I just stopped feeling sad. (Hope it helps :D)
i don’t think i will ever be able to find another show greater than attack on titan. it genuinely changed my life and perspective on things and i have never felt such emotions for anything before like oh my god this show is my whole life it’s everything to me and i don’t know how to cope knowing than it’s over. god isayama you are the goat
could someone explain to me on how some of you get so deeply attach to the show because it a fictional show also im not a hater im a AOT fan myself and it my fav anime so far.
It's happens. Many people just gets emotionally attach with fictions. It's the same feeling when you love a book so much but it's come to an end. It's that nostalgic feelings

I get choked up over the ending still. It's been such a long journey, and the emotional turmoil of the ending is tough.
