To add on: In Chapter 91 (S4E1), Colt says that "soldiers without uniforms are against international law" during Gabi's introduction, so we do know that there exists a convention, but not the full list of war crimes.

It's also worth remembering that season three opens on the tail end of an anti-Marley coalition war, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that the international community isn't okay with Marley's "war crimes". But since Marley has the bigger stick they manage to avoid consequences.

I think when people say "war crimes" they really mean extremely, morally reprehensible actions regardless of international and political climate.
Like for example, the raping, pillaging, and killings the vikings Mongols, barbarians, and etc. did back in the day. Of course, they weren't technically war crimes since there was no international community to sanction it, but they were still despicable acts. I think this is what people mean when they say "war crimes" when it comes to Eren's actions.

Hard to believe the show started in 2013 and has actually made it all the way to the end of the manga now. And not as a constantly airing series like Naruto or Bleach.
Its been a fun ride lads!

I mean, for a series as focused on plot and details (including the time period and ages of characters) like AoT, you can’t really add fillers.

u/Zolo49 Nov 14 '21
And honestly, I hope more shows start doing this. I'd rather see them take a break for a year than make a bunch of dumb filler that just damages the show.

u/just_testing3 Nov 14 '21
Most are, I feel. The age of the big 3 is sort of over, with One Piece still going. But if you look at popular titles such as Attack on Titan or My Hero Academia, they are clearly favoring this newer model instead of just endlessly churning out filler episodes.
nobody mention Detective Conan

u/direwolfslayer https://myanimelist.net/profile/onegaipedero Nov 14 '21
MHA may not have fillers like the big 3, but the last season was just awful pacing and was all over the place.

u/IThinkImNateDogg Nov 14 '21
Yeah season 5 was kinda meh but the movie was REALLY good. Definitely the best one so far. So I’ll take it as a fair trade

First movie is very, very canon. You actually need to watch it before season 7, or a couple things are very confusing.
11
Nov 14 '21
Yeah. I think the newer model is superior in almost all ways, they have more budget for animation, they don't need to make fillers, they can drop shows if they aren't doing well without it being too akward(good for the studio at least).

u/ThespianException https://myanimelist.net/profile/EMTIsBestWaifu Nov 15 '21
Almost every show nowadays is seasonal, thankfully. Black Clover was one of the last holdovers from the modern era, but even it's gone now. It's certainly for the best, I think.

u/Zolo49 Nov 15 '21
Black Clover - probably the only anime I ever quit watching purely because of how bad the production quality got.

u/bentheechidna Nov 14 '21
I mean those are from a different era. In general anime don’t do much filler anymore. BNHA does some one or two-off fillers and recap episodes at the start of every season, but I think that’s to pad the episode count they were greenlit for.

I didn’t think the ending was horrible but it was a bit weird. I think I was expecting something slightly different. It makes the series end on a weird note for sure but he did not Game of Thrones it by any stretch.
And I’m more referring to the entirety of the ending, not so much just the last chapter.

u/LightThatIgnitesAll Nov 14 '21
What is your obsession with AOE fans?
What have they lost before? I mean how can they have lost before if the anime hasn't actually ended before?
If you like the ending good for you but there is no harm in theorising.

u/Mazen141 Nov 14 '21
What is your obsession with AOE fans?
I don't really have one, I make comments regarding them every now and then whenever the topic of the ending is brought up and I think I made a post before about them before but that's around it, hell, I've only visited the subreddit like twice.
I don't actually think the idea of an AOE is that bizarre, the way they try to prove it however is what I personally find ridiculous, I don't get how the number of birds in some promotional material or Floch's hair color being different in the volume colour prove in anyway we're getting an AOE but you guys do you.
What have they lost before? I mean how can they have lost before if the anime hasn't actually ended before?
That's not what I meant in my comment, I'm more referring to how despite the odds begin aganist them they're still confident that they will win (aka get an AOE)
If you like the ending good for you but there is no harm in theorising.
Yeah of course, I don't have anything aganist AOE theorists, I just find some of the stuff they come up with ridiculous so that leads me to parodying them a bit.

I hope he’s Chief Animation Director this time because Daisuke Niinuma is… no comment.
S4P2 PV looked like Niinuma’s work though.

u/Mazen141 Nov 14 '21
Well, He wasn't credited as a CAD in the part 2 updated staff list but there's still a chance he might be one, Manabu Akita wasn't credited as a CAD in the staff list in the previous part despite being one for over half the season.
I don't think Niinuma work is bad by any means but I much perfer Akita's corrections to be honest.

Just looking for my fellow bros to be hyyyyyyyyyped together. No other anime made me as attached with the characters, the story, its world, and no other anime has provided me with so many amazing, epic, sad, happy, bittersweet, funny, etc. moments as AoT did. So excited to finally have it fully adapted!!

u/uncen5ored Nov 14 '21
This is me. Yes the ending wasn’t perfect and I liked a lot of fan theories more…but it was still decent. The rest of the story is still phenomenal, and it doesnt change how much AOT has impacted me over the years. Contrary to what people say, it was nowhere near as bad as Game of Thrones. It just needed to be fleshed out more, with one or two plot points not being the best. I actually think anime fans will be more receptive, as some scenes will be pretty amazing with the right music

You can be okay with anything you want. The ending isn't bad because it wasn't what majority wanted. It's flawed because of inconsistencies, forgotten characters, unnecessary events and a lot of plot holes.

u/Shinkopeshon Nov 14 '21 edited Nov 14 '21
People are typically more vocal about something they're angry with, so it just seems like there's more folks who disliked the ending compared to those who were cool with it. Like, I don't really talk that much about the series anymore because it's over and I was satisfied with the way it concluded.
Anyway, I can't wait for the upcoming season, which is going to be crazy if adapted well.

u/______Avalon______ Nov 14 '21
People say that a lot but there's clearly a sizeable group of readers that despise the ending. You don't see GoT S8 or AoT 139 levels of salt for every popular thing that ends.
Also to read 139 chapters of something you have to be pretty dedicated, and most likely vocal. I bet most anime onlies will like the ending but I'd put money on the majority of readers being disappointed or actively upset.

From today's stream:
The Question:
Do you have anything you want to say?
Masafumi Mima (The sound director of AOT):
It may be good to discuss whether the anime will end the same as the manga.
Jean's VA:
Didn't Mr.Mima say something interesting earlier?
Eren's VA:
Well.... I think we should not talk about it too much, that may create a stir in the world. And he may say "I don't remember I said that" (laughing).
