Well, this is the best SnK ending, on par with most of its openings, so is nice to have it as its own entry on MAL to rate.

If they were animated by one of the Japanese anime studios MAL considers to make "anime" then yes they would all be candidates to be added. Especially if they were related to an anime already on the site.

The iconic video to this absolutely marvelous song has been added, at last.

Many people formed up headcanons because of that video, and were mad at Isayama-sensei that he didn't do an ending similar to stuff you see on the clip, lmao.

I thought the visuals were mediocre at first, but they grew on me over time and after watching the clip more than once. Right now I think they are really okay and artsy.

Flawless song, with a beautiful choir, wonderful instrumentals, and awesome hype, but unfortunately, the visuals are not befitting of such a banger of a song. It's not exactly bad, in fact the second half actually matches the audio. Just the first half of the visual is somewhat out of place.

Whatever, why am I even bothered, this is just an MV...  The actual ED visuals from the anime has the exact atmosphere like this MV's visual, but better.

Awesome ending though, that's undeniable.

Beautiful song, too bad the medium did not match it. 

Maybe the ending for Monster would be a better fit.

Echoing the same sentiment as everyone here. On one hand, I'm getting goosebumps and going on a nostalgic trip, recalling Eren's mom tell Shadis that "Eren is so cute! Eren is special!" as this song plays in the background. On the other hand, the visuals here are well... something else entirely. Still, not too bad, and to be honest, it did fit the song despite itself.

Why would I spend my time watching shows I don't like? 💢

It's the main source of the aptly titled 'Akatsuki no Requiem' theory.

The characters and scenery form a coherent story if you see them as representations of certain AoT characters/scenery. Considering it's the official music video for the AoT ED 'Akatsuki no Requiem', it gained a lot of traction back in the day.

Stuff like this gets approved all the time but I’ve been waiting ages for the Op for the JJK mobile game to be approved and it hasn’t. I have no clue why, other anime mobile games Ops are in the database. I have no clue how MAL approving works.
Please stop, I don’t want to see any more Dekugo😭

That's odd, why did they decide to add it just now? Right when we're a few weeks from part 3 dropping?

If you substitute the characters/scenery for characters/scenery in Attack on Titan, it forms a coherent story. It also uses a lot of symbolism similar to Attack on Titan. This is also the official MV for the Season 3 ED.

great song ofc and I actually love the visuals contrary to what I see a lot of people saying here lol.

I'm not gonna look into the Akatsuki no Requiem lore as what was linked suggested it had some manga spoilers. Isn't the manga finished now too? So should be confirmed if the connection is there or not and no need to speculate about it now.
