The “Final Season” have 3 parts. It haves has many seasons the rest of the show does. It’s getting dumb.
EDIT I like the show but stop doing the “Parts” thing. Start calling them what they are Seasons.
I legit already forgot what even happened in the first 2 parts that I watched. I’m just gonna wait until it’s finished and then rewatch the entire season.
I hope they don’t retroactively try and re-number the seasons after it’s all over to erase the evidence of their terrible planning
Or worse, find a way to use “The Final Season” thematically in the narrative to retroactively look like they planned it all along (unless this is already explicit in the manga).
Either way, their use of “parts” since Season 3 has been super annoying and misleading. I hope nobody pulls this shit again.
You know, I think I might respect them more if they just really leaned into it now and called the next tranche of episodes season 4, part 3, section a, subsection i
I feel like they did it this way out of some kind of contractual obligation. Like they are getting paid to make a third season, not a specific amount of episodes. So as long as they continue to produce “season 3” they’ll keep getting paid.
I can’t think of any other explanation as to why they’d do this otherwise.
“Final Season: Part 2” baited me hard. I couldn’t even fathom that they weren’t going to wrap things up at that point. I had waited to watch the first part and I thought I was clever.
Nope, another cliffhanger. Fuck me.
The AOT anime moves at such a glacial pace, and there’s so long between seasons… I still haven’t watched past S2, because after S1 I went and started reading the manga, and like three hours of reading put me well past even where season 2 ended. It’s like every episode is three pages in the manga lol. Really compelling mysteries, but at this point I’m waiting until it’s all done.
I watch anime with a friend and we have forbidden to talk about AOT until new shit comes back, I really hate how they handled this ending…
In the meanwhile we can keep watching other stuff, and forgotting part 3-1,2 of AOT lol.
I just remembered how waiting two freaking years to get the ending that Got did made it so much worse than if the airing of final season hadn’t been so dragged out.
Really glad I just got Aot over with quickly by reading the Manga over waiting however many years it’s been since they announced the “final season” to get the ending that it did. It would have been another GOT type disappointment, since if I’m made to wait that long then I’m expecting something legendary like I did for GOT.
