Usually it’s in a journal, but I decided to do it here because I thought some of you may understand. I’m sorry I sometimes don’t have the confidence to say what I want to verbally so I go on a writing rant. This story stays with you long after you read it. The best feeling is opening up your manga after a year or so to visit everything and everyone ones more. The anime is incredible, but I’m telling you now the manga hits different in a way that one random Thursday you’re going to be at work or school.and think fondly on the characters and lessons. It’s possible I’m just not ready to say goodbye. Now it has been confirmed and I’m heartbroken. I needed them to publicly announce it because anything else was just speculation, and it gave me hope. Then I would have known from the start that a lot will be cut and condensed. I can’t help but wish they told us at the beginning of the season It was only going to be thirteen episodes. This is the best part the biggest lessons the most beautiful relationships. However, they have been giving us exactly what we wanted for two seasons only to crush the ending to fit a certain time limit. Look.I get it I’m not new to anime I know we get what we get and we don’t get upset when it comes to any anime adaptation. Season three while good, is going to fast for the arcs to be resolved in any way that FEELS like the manga. The characters and their arcs have been build so well from the foundation of season one a two. BUT the emotional impact is not going to hit the same. The voice actors are passionate, the animation is flawless, you can tell so much love went into the production. The adaptation is well done, do not get me wrong. I read this manga when I was eleven years old and it made such an impact on me. I just cant help but feel so upset by this. I know that makes me sound ungrateful, because we are lucky to have such a great adaptation to begin with. I am genuinely so disappointed that Fruits Basket season three is one core. I need to write this so I can move on an enjoy what’s left. I’m starting to see your ending in a different light. The tragic tale of the boy who sought freedom. Is it an epic ending? Ummm no… but Just like Red Swan it was an ending that portrayed the cruel fate of Eren Jaeger. He did it all so that he could save the ones he cares about most. the readers…selfishly wanted him to be… However, this whole time he wrestled with these emotions of pain, emptiness and love alone. The emotionless killing machine everyone expected him to be. It hurts because all we got to see was his modified self. It’s a reminder that people have to pay for those failures. Attack on Titan is a reminder that humans and systems fail. This ending is emotional, impactful but most importantly human. It was to not only to set the tone for the next season, but to foreshadow the rest of the manga. Red Swan was not your typical Shonen banger. Those who liked the Red Swan OP love this ending. This brings me back to the title of this post. The way Eren sobs to Armin is the same way he sobbed to Mikasa when he used the coordinate for the first time. He had to become this in order to protect the freedom of the ones he loved most. Eren has not been his true self for a while. We can see this the whole way back to season one. Eren acted emotional and impulsive because the real Eren was emotional and impulsive. After taking time to process it, I realized that this ending while surprising was completely human and valid. I have been seeing a lot of posts about how the ending was bad, rushed and out of character, and while I did have a similar experience reading it the first time I must say I am disappointed in myself.
