Ahead of the long-awaited finale, it looks like Hajime Isayama is making some changes to the Attack on Titan anime’s ending. This was revealed in a recent message that was shared on the show’s official X (formerly Twitter) account.
In his message, Isayama revealed that he was personally involved in making the anime’s ending.
Specifically, he said that he got to draw a bit of the rough draft of the finale, implying that there will be some changes.
This was echoed in the anime director’s message, which was also released recently. Thus, it’ll be interesting to see what will change, especially considering the manga’s controversial ending.
Attack on Titan Manga Ending Continues to Be Controversial
The Attack on Titan manga may have ended over two years ago, but it continues to be a hot topic among fans given how divisive it is.
In fact, discussions about the ending happened again recently as a new Attack on Titan volume was revealed to feature a new chapter.
This upcoming chapter will feature new story content that will take place after the ending. Because of this, fans are hoping the new chapter will at least make the original ending better.
The ending has become such a sore point among many fans that Isayama himself tearfully apologized for it during an event last year. Thus, fans hoped that the anime would change the ending up a bit.
Now, with Isayama’s message, it looks like there will be changes in the anime’s finale. Fans shouldn’t expect massive changes though, as Isayama only implied some minor alterations.
