I'm Relatively New To The Anime Space. My Good Friend Got Me Into It When We Met And Is Slowly Introducing

i'm relatively new to the anime space. my good friend got me into it when we met and is slowly introducing me to more and more series, but i have to say attack on titan is by far the best.

i could go on for hours about the writing and all of the ways it's so masterful in it's storytelling, but i actually started writing this intending to talk about eren so...

i haven't really engaged in the fandom much on account of avoiding it until the dub for the final episode came out, but i've been able to gather that eren is pretty polarizing as a character. and i have to say: i fucking adore him.

he's so devastating as a character that i just can't hate him. thinking about the way he embodies the central theme of the story so well makes me absolutely feral.

i know there's some people who just can't see past the rumbling, and i honestly understand that. but i just can't not see him as a traumatized child radicalized by the world he grew up in who got his hands on power. i think he said it best in the finale when he said he was just some idiot who got his hands on some power.

i didn't really have a point with this... i just fucking love eren jaeger so much.
