Okay, let's talk about Attack on Titan. Season 5, specifically. Is it ever coming? We all know season 4 was, uh, eventful (to put it mildly).
The Eternal Question: Season 5?
Here's my hot take: There technically isn't a Season 5. Controversial, I know. But hear me out!
Remember how Season 4 was split into like, three parts? It felt like waiting an eternity between each one. The final part was basically a movie, right?
So, my unpopular opinion? Attack on Titan ended with Season 4, Part 3 (the movie).
But Wait, There's Always More (Maybe)
Of course, anime companies love sequels and spin-offs. Never say never! Could there be a continuation someday?
Perhaps a new story set in the same world? Or maybe exploring some untold tales. The possibilities are endless!
Think about prequels showing us more about Eren's dad, Grisha Yeager. Or maybe a sequel focusing on a new generation of soldiers.
"The world is cruel, but also very beautiful." - Mikasa Ackerman, probably summing up everyone's feelings about this whole thing.
However, personally, I think the original story reached a satisfying (if heartbreaking) conclusion. Sometimes, it's best to leave things as they are.
What Could Season 5 (Hypothetically) Be About?
If, against all my "it's perfect as it is" arguments, a Season 5 *did* happen, what could it even be about?
Maybe rebuilding society after Eren's… actions. Dealing with the political fallout. The struggles of survivors.
Or perhaps a threat even bigger than the Titans emerges. A new enemy from across the sea. Dun dun DUN!
But honestly, I struggle to imagine anything topping the emotional rollercoaster we already went on. Trying to recapture that magic could be risky.
Think about other epic anime finales. Sometimes, the best thing is to let the story rest. Avoid the temptation to milk it dry.
The Reality of the Situation
Right now, there's no official announcement of Attack on Titan Season 5. None. Zero. Nada.
So, while we can dream and theorize, it's probably best to accept that the main story is complete. Re-watch the old episodes! Read the manga!
Maybe someday we will get a spin-off or a sequel. But until then, let's cherish what we have. And maybe start a petition for a Levi Ackerman cleaning spin-off.
Okay, maybe not. But a girl can dream!
The lack of a Season 5 doesn’t mean the story is truly over in our hearts and minds. The impact of Attack on Titan will remain forever!
