The trailer looks really good for a fan animation, I think I'll give it a Go when it comes out

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

well, according to me,, aot ending may be a sad or tragic ending,not a wish fulfilment one but that was a good ending,,the way they delivered the message about human and wars ,,it was perfect,,maybe few problems here and there but i think that was really good,,

i liked and also did not like its ending for the both reason above,,,,i also loved the war in the end,,

if fan animation shows a different vanilla ending then I will watch it.

I haven't heard much about it, apart from the fact that it's a fan series from people who were disappointed with the ending of Aot (I was also disappointed with the ending), IMO it's an interesting project, the animation looks good for a fan project, I'm curious how it will turn out but judging by some of the frames from the manga, I have a bad feeling, it might turn out to be an edgy shit xD

What do you think about it?

I loved the original ending and don't have anything major to complained about, I would still be watching it to see how they tackled the ending.

The most efficient fix to AoT's ending would be to just axe the epilogue and stop the story at Armin and co. on the boat starting a new journey as peace ambassadors. Ambiguous enough to be open to interpretation as to what happens next without spelling it out. Because obviously the author thinks it's all useless and the outcome is predetermined, but he doesnt need to show us that and ruin the entire journey in the process.

Anything beyond getting rid of the epilogue is just too much trouble for what it's worth.

It won’t happen, it’s from the people who were making the Berserk project that got taken down. It’ll gain the attention of those with rights to AOT and it’ll be swiftly shut down. Honestly, it’s pretty disrespectful to Isayama as well

Weren't people the most angry because of the Ymir/Mikasa asspull? I don't really think the "hopelessness" of the ending is out of place when nobody did anything to actually break the cycle.
That was actually one of the better things about the ending. I don't think axing that epilogue necessarily makes the story any better.

I dont pretend to know exactly what the audience hated the most. I'm just speaking for myself. I think the epilogue shits all over Armin's ideology and (perhaps unintentionally) retroactively vindicates Eren's original plan to kill everyone outside the walls.

Given that the story at its core is a battle between Eren and Armin's ideologies, the heavyhandedness with which Eren is proven right and Armin is proven wrong is a poor writing decision. It is a completely one-sided philosophical battle where Armin gets made to look like a fool at every point in the story, it really needed more balance and that is why i think the epilogue was completely unnecessary.

What's the point on seeing an alternate finale made by people who didn't like the original one? I like the finale, but even if I didn't like it it's still the finale written by the author.
What do they want? Gain glory over Hajime Isayama? A fan made finale will always be a fan made finale.

It is a completely one-sided philosophical battle where Armin gets made to look like a fool at every point in the story, it really needed more balance and that is why i think the epilogue was completely unnecessary.

That's the thing though, the epilogue implies there was no right answer.
Armin was able to end the Paradis/Marley conflict with his ideology, he didn't exactly fail. Eren thought the only way to end that conflict was to get rid of the notion of 'the other side' entirely, which was impractical, since the author clearly implies that the islanders would just end up fighting themselves if there was no one else.

The core of the series was never a psychological battle between Armin and Eren, they both simply presented two ways to deal with a problem. The core was always how there is no permanent end to ALL conflict. One conflict ends for another cycle to begin. Armin was just a dude, not Jesus; he can't bring eternal world peace. He ended that one cycle and was hailed as a hero.

Again, the epilogue is left up to interpretation. Some people feel like it was Marley who retaliated again after what, a 1000 years? I can see how those people might feel it was all for nothing. If you look at it as a different cycle though, it leaves things on a nice bittersweet note. Which also sets it apart from a series such as Code Geass that just made everything sunshine and rainbows at the end.

It at the very least looks better than that dog shit fan made Jujutsu No Kaisen manga. But I have no clue what they plan on doing for this ending, so I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in seeing how much of an egotistical train wreck it amounts to.

@certifiedbinger the cliffnotes version of the story is as follows
Eren: fight, don't think, just kill or be killed.
Armin: but what if we can peacefully coexist tho. What if we understood each other.

The two go back and forth, mirroring the ideologies of each other at several pivotal and climactic points in the story. Most notably, during the rumbling, Eren's answer to the cycle of violence and the Eldean question is that he must annihilate everyone outside the walls to ensure the safety of Paradis. However, he cannot bring himself to go through with it and decides to spare an amount of people outside the walls equal to that inside Paradis. Had Eren gone through with his plan, Paradis' survival is ensured. However, he instead stakes the island's survival on the off chance that the survivors can learn to understand each other, thus mirroring Armin's faith in humanity and hope for peaceful coexistence.

Now, if you wanna use some copium you can argue that the epilogue spans hundreds of years and is therefore far removed from the main plot. However, I find it dishonest to deny that the narrative juxtaposition of the incomplete rumbling and the nuking of Paradis doesn't undermine Armin's character. I mean we see these events virtually back to back. The rumbling is stopped, and then within minutes we see Paradis nuked. The logical conclusion is that Eren SHOULD have completed the rumbling. As a writer you should be cognizant of the implications of such a dangerous juxtaposition. You can't show the audience a smoking gun, or a child and a broken vase in back to back scenes, if you don't intend for them to make a connection.

Just axe the epilogue and leave the fate of Eldeans and noneldeans for the reader to decide. The epilogue is the worst of all worlds. Not only does the author refuse to elaborate on what happens in the postwar era, he also shows a conclusion to a postwar story he didnt bother to tell in the first place. It's cheap, forced, unearned, and it soils the main plot. If the author was dead set on that conclusion, then he should have actually expounded on the postwar era to explain what exactly leads to Paradis' destruction that doesn't implicate Eren and Armin.

Don't get fooled this so called "fan project" is by that vocal minority Historia fans who wanted her to marry Eren in the ending and be her child's father. They are just mad that MAPPA went ahead with rightfully adapting the canon material and didn't animate this lol. Hence, this hot shit exists. Plus not to mention, how disrespectful it is to Isayama. He should be suing this whole team. They did the same with Berserk as well.

@Irshiki It's a better story will always be a better story... now we know that Isayama's ending has raised a lot of controversy, but I don't understand why we can't see the reinterpretation that the fans have done on aot? It doesn't take anything away from Isayama's ending, it could simply show something different than what we saw and if the fans' story is better than Isayama's why not see it?

@Shilohzz How would this be disrespectful to Isayama? Fan fiction or fan revisions have always existed on any work and this has never erased the original work of the author... just because this project gets credit I don't see how it can be an insult to Isayama

@dk107_ Aot no requiem had started since Isayama's ending was brought to paperback, Mappa's adaptation has nothing to do with this project, also why is it disrespectful towards Isayama? This project does not erase the work done by Isayama and the fans from this project do not earn anything... not to mention that it is very ridiculous to report a team just for having made a fan fiction

Because it's a reinterpratation made by fans, it's like saying "Good work Isayama, you work all those years to make your series, to gain fame over other authors, but you know, fuck you, we don't want it".
The finale of the series is there, like it or not, there will always be one and that's the only one that will be published and you know why? Because he's the author of the series, the series is his and whatever he says and decide to with it that will be it.
Really hope that these "fans" working on this fanfiction will get a huge lawsuit by Kodansha, so they can understand what authors' rights mean.

No I did not miss it, simply the point I'm trying to make is another. You don't go changing or try to make a reinterpratation of the finale of a story just because you didn't like it. All these talks about this kind of stuff are dangerous, only the author of a story have the right to do what they want with that story. A fan read it or watching and they either enjoy it or not and that's it, that's their role.
