Why is he using this picture? You know what you're doing GB. You know exactly what you're doing and have this image on screen first for this video Because ever since the manga came to a close this image in the manga and now I see it for the foreseeable future for the anime One of the most mean yeah, oh, yeah, this is gonna be as mean as it gets definitely But before I get into that get used to this fucking picture when I finish the manga of attack on Titan a few years back Gonna be completely blunt. I hated it Oh Hey, he hated it. Okay. Okay. He's one of you. He's one of you. I hated the end. Why are you at 1.5 dislikes?  This guy is so passionate about anime. He is who I'm gonna listen to I'm gonna listen to him I'm gonna I'm gonna see if I'm gonna genuinely like this or dislike it. Let's see I'm gonna be one of you guys on it I talked about it when the ending first came out and then I talked about it a few weeks later when there was an Extra eight pages added and I said I hated it even more than I did the original ending because of some of the added content Just was not good.  That is pretty much how I felt about the conclusion of the long But years back when the final chapter and its extra pages came out So obviously it's been a long time since that happened And I've had a long time to really sit on my feelings my thoughts of attack on Titan my journey Throughout the anime my journey of watching these final episodes or the final chapters as you know Crunchy will cause a cause on this site you know I've had a long time to really think about it and think about how I truly felt about the conclusion the ending and Up to this very moment like her up to this you know day when you know before I watched this episode My thoughts still remained very firm. Okay, I truly believed that I didn't like attack on Titans ending Well, that's fine. I mean I can't say anything because I never read the manga. I never Like I've never read it. I don't know the complaints like I don't know why People complaining and don't like it like I don't know that stuff So that's I can't say anything about that. He read the manga He read to the end and then like it and so I went into this episode pretty much knowing that it would be all downhill around this part of the episode That's the part not really liking the content and the way the story was going to evolve because of just Certain events that happen and so I had already some bias against the ending in this episode But he hates the ending if he's able to watch this ending and appreciate it It tells you something about his character regardless of that.  I'm saying a lot of people say that it's like Game of Thrones I compare Attack on Titan to Game of Thrones Because or I used to until I saw the ending of Attack on Titan But with Game of Thrones Everybody loved the fucking series until the last season the last season happens. It didn't go the right way I hated it doesn't mean I hate Game of Thrones.  What does 100 teach you? It's about the journey. It's not about the destination. It's not about landing Though the ending would solidify it as a masterpiece. You know what I mean But I wouldn't call Game of Thrones a masterpiece because the ending wasn't that great, but still I still love Game of Thrones You can still love something it is shaped just because the ending just because the destination wasn't worth it Doesn't mean the journey wasn't new anime and manga light novels It will have an impact for the and wait, wait, wait. I'm gonna continue this. I know I keep pausing I won't pause as much.   There's even better now.  I want to see what people would say I want to see what because nobody's gonna be happy One piece ends. I promise you there's gonna be people that don't like it.  So with that said that picture Let's let's clear it. Come on Come on cutie reviews made it abundantly clear before I even started this. I had some bias towards it. I left this episode Happier than how I left the manga. There we go He's probably still gonna say something like he still doesn't agree with the ending but still he left happier So the anime did a better service than the manga did for him And I think that anyone that knew how harsh I was with my reviews on the longest ending Can probably say that's very high praise that is very high praise that I even a remote conclusion It sucks less this anime With like I would bump it up from like how I had a four out of ten or a five out of ten It was seven probably a seven or even an eight. I didn't I didn't watch this. I didn't watch this This isn't pre-watched I was guessing I was in his brain the staff and the voice acting and all that that worked on this episode But from a 40 was seven that's from a bad to a good That's pretty good for the elements Was enhanced and more understandable digestible and changed a little bit to make it more Acceptable for the audience that watched this and so let's let's give a good part here This scene is very iconic and let's get into this since I've had it on the screen All right, let's get it when it was buddy on it because Aaron breaks down and basically I don't want her to find someone I don't want it.  She does higher scene is Aaron showing weakness at the final moments of like I don't want to die Which is understandable, but he's like I don't want to die I don't want you know me costed to move on I wanted to love me I you know want to love her I want her to be with me. He's just saying all these feelings They just I mean I'm gonna be honest with you guys If I die, I don't want live to find love Would you find love Go looking for another life partner because whatever happens next when we die Wherever we go.  There is no reason for me To find another love. I have the love of my life. I don't need another one Exactly.  Just waiting to meet her again I'm not gonna find something. There is nobody else. She's my life That's why I'm with her is because she's my life partner. There is no cat.  I've never cheated. I've never done shit like that in my life So I understand Aaron it is an incredible whiplash of emotions because the entire theme of this episode is just Aaron Is this unstoppable force that is giving his friends a chance, but overall it's just like he's going to conclude his job He is going to kill off humanity He is going to 100% wipe out the opposing force because that is the only way to save his friends to save Paradise Island that was his objective at least before we got to the scene We found out a little bit more about it and how you'd be stopped etc The point of the matter is is that everything up to this very moment these final moments of you know the series You're under the impression that Aaron was just this stone cold person that was just driven He has to move forward driven by conviction and he needed to finish his job Okay, and so when you get to this scene and the reason why a lot of people dislike the scene is because it is a Whiplash it is a straight whiplash of emotions and even if this goes into how Aaron's character was a few seasons back The thing is is that this is an Aaron that's been hardened by so many depths So many people has died and he has chosen to let die that it also comes off very like Why are you doing this? Why are you crying or being emotional at this moment after everything you have done and I'll talk about that in a second But the point is is I'm trying to get into the psyche of why people dislike this scene It's like I know I I know Where he's gonna go with this but y'all already know how I feel about that whole thing like Aaron's breakdown was literally Aaron Like that says Aaron as a guy.   But anyways enough with that the point of the matter is there we go seen in particular I didn't always have a huge issue with like I have problems with him not wanting the cost to move on It was very selfish. Yes, especially for but he is selfish He is selfish That's the thing like we don't have to agree with him. We don't have to agree with characters But that's the point like we don't have to agree with that. That's who he is.  I don't know.  I don't think he's selfless. He's a child. That's honestly how I see Aaron I've always seen myself. I don't think he's selfless at all I don't think that that describes his character at all just because he doesn't like care about himself and whatever He just cares about this group. That's all he's selfish in regards to the group compared to the world Like out of field things like he's acting very selfish so to speak, you know Just like oh, I want me costed to basically never forget about me after my death. It's like bro What the hell but um anyways that this is not the scene that I legitimately had most problems with the scene I had with after this is when he starts talking to Armin and he starts saying that you know like oh I don't want to leave me cost or any of you and all that and this anime episode starts talking about how Aaron and Armin are going to go to hell like they are legitimately They will go to hell together for instance when Aaron dies He's probably going to a bad place and Armin will probably follow him into that of this because they both have killed countless people Technically in the way this anime episode explains it is that Armin set Aaron on this path Even if Aaron kind of made a lot of decisions on his own to get the Titans the founding Titan, etc Armin still tries to take responsibility Armin blamed himself for what Aaron's become it was inevitable, bro Armin didn't have to do anything Aaron was becoming or landing exactly where he landed the destination was inevitable Which is a huge Improvement to his character showcasing that you know He is taking responsibility of everything after you know Erwin died and all that and he's like yeah You know I have obviously condemned a lot of people to death as well I'm just as responsible for the rumbling as you are Aaron, and so we'll both go to hell together and Organically speaking this episode conveys that very well, and now you're probably wondering why do I have a problem with this?  What are you talking about?  That's my take on it I purposely want to do a series with Chibi now and Rev I don't care Am I a file for like in Michiko Tensai like is he a file for He's not defending pedophilia man, but he's an anime review channel. He reviews anime What does this have to do with the real world?   Oh, wait. Wait.   You see what she looks like Doesn't take like a lot of drawing to understand what is wrong with this dialogue It's just it's like for one Armin is potting off all the Responsibility and everything all the weight and burden of the world over to Aaron That's literally how it feels how it is conveyed to the audience that he's throwing all the depths and everything Onto Aaron's shoulders that this is how the manga was this was the actual final chapter of The manga of attack on Titan and so this stung a lot of people it stung a lot of people It's like why would Armin be like oh, thank you for killing so many people for our sakes. It just it felt like whoa Yeah, yeah Whiplash of just what I saw that panel.  It's just like bro. What it was really messed up It was a legitimately messed up sequence here with all things considered when you factor in Armin here tried to calm down Aaron he doesn't meet it in a literal sense in my opinion and in the anime Armin says this still So I don't know why he needed the manga panel for it. I don't he didn't say this in the anime I mean he didn't word it like this everything with Armin's character and you know Aaron's character and Erwin and all that and just what Armin's been doing is just they felt very out of place So when you see this happen in the anime, they obviously don't have that line like Watch the scene again for yourself. They do not have this. No This is a meme scene as well people I mean the hell like this happens like this scene happens, but not These this wording not not not what they're saying in this specific panel But this scene happens because of this but it is not in the anime so they completely cut that Changed it into basically Armin accepting that he will go to hell to with Aaron and so it comes off more organically So they yeah a huge issue that a lot of people had with Armin and Aaron's character with this little exchange It's a huge improvement. I definitely made the episode a lot more Enjoyable to me and once again I went into this episode very very biased to a degree and I am gonna lie I'm gonna try to sugarcoat it so the fact that I think that it's much better. That's a big deal Yeah, I think that's a big deal The final sequence is another contender. I complained about in the This happens in the manga like this whole sequence is credit sequence where they show what happens Like hundreds and years and everything this this happens in the manga, too They show all that that's not like an anime. Oh, yeah We so at the end and here I'll show you basically if you come down here and you look the final moments of the manga You see like the flash okay. Yeah, no, you see, you know an old Mikasa and whoever she married with kids, etc And it's very clear. It's John. It's very on. Yeah, that's obviously John. Oh Wait, that's I mean it Does that really mean maybe he's just with her I mean, it's implied with this picture, but it's interpretation like you could just see that as a friend going with her But you could also say that's his son. I don't know I don't know and you see the kid know that and visiting Aaron's grave and you see can that's not him It isn't being done to Paradise Island, you know the place is doing a lot better and as you could see time passes a little bit in the buildings They they get blown up.  It's like really so it pretty much made everything just like so Aaron Should have finished everyone off walk was right as well And it's just like they really should have annihilated the other side dark ending But you know that was the point that was being made here It just you know our characters all died and Aaron, you know Basically backed out and cried out and didn't finish the job This was the original conclusion of the manga as you can see here So let's shift over to the anime you look to the anime here. I'm gonna just let you see it You can easily see with the final sequence of events here that You can see the weapons are stopped being used but the buildings are way more futuristic Yeah, it looked like cyberpunk.  This is like this is like 2300 it is what 100% more futuristic and you see the skyscrapers being built with these credit scenes it basically showcases that a lot more time passed in comparison to the manga in the manga These look like typical skyscrapers that you'd see in like 20 year 2001 You know, this is not necessarily Something that is futuristic. It looks like modern day.  There's a whole world out there What if one person around the world like like a thousand miles another way decided to bomb them? you know what I mean we're currently at and Technically Attack on Titan if we had to consider where its story was taking place was probably the 1930s 1940s So it is obviously still a gap But it's like really we knew there was a lot of advancement in the world outside of Paradise Island So it's like all things considered their technology was already pretty advanced. Yeah, so it's like when you look at this It's like it doesn't come off right it feels like I don't see the criticism behind it I'm not talking about him, but I do not see the like I understand Maybe the whole air I don't even understand that scene whenever like like talking to Armin and stuff But I definitely a hundred percent do not understand this whole argument with people complaining about the ending like that Ever died for nothing I that really bothers me like I just don't get that I don't get why people have a problem with that Like what do you mean he died for nothing or all of that was for nothing that does not make fucking sense to me at all It doesn't make sense to me Maybe they only rebuilt for maybe 10 to 20 years and that was it But when you look at you know the anime it's very clear like a hundred or even more so years past Until they came back and like I'm gonna give you an example right now man. Let's say Let's say um a major terrorist was alive right now, and I killed him, right? All right What does that mean peace for the next 10 years? Bro, that's not even peace for the next five minutes. I could have spent my whole life hunting down that terrorist Five minutes later another one's born or another guy decides to do something else Does that mean me stopping at one terror? Does that mean that means nothing? No, it doesn't that that means a lot That means a lot. It's just inevitable. It just happens. It's life. It's a cycle. It happens over and over and over again That's exactly what it's a consign did just because Aaron died or just because Aaron does something doesn't mean that it Something else is it gonna happen. He's not God. You know what I mean? Like even so Conflict that happens here probably isn't even completely Affiliated with like Yamir and the Titans love how we're talking about all this and then this dude comes to chess is when do you watch Naruto? Affiliated with probably you know other reasons etc. You know it could be oil Whatever it doesn't matter the point is is that you know The way the episode the ending of the episode conveys it is that it is not completely people just taking vengeance against Aaron and the Rumbling yeah, there's probably a part of that but there's enough time that passed that a lot of the old generation is probably forgotten So yeah, I feel like the anime once again it corrected another issue because the manga conveys it like it's only been 10 years And I don't even mind the manga the manga makes just as much sense as the anime Time doesn't matter This they should have they could have showed a picture from a day later after the rumbling and it was just went back to shit It would still make sense A lot of people have survived from that 20% is going to be angry But if you convey it to her like I like the anime version way better I'm gonna admit that most of the old generation that was a part of the rumbling has just forgotten So they wouldn't really even know the pain of it. And so yeah Anyways, that was corrected, but now it is time to whiplash into the negative. So here we go Here we go here we go the things that this episode did not fix and I think that is very important to talk about is the Entire segment with Yamir here I think that this is a very bad segment and it showcases The flaws that Ysiyama had as a writer at the end here and let me explain the problem explain Let me go at Ysiyama turned the story about war and hatred and all that into a love story And it wasn't properly conveyed like majority of the series anyone that really takes a hard look at attack on time Okay, let's just look at the the entirety the grand span of the anime and the manga the story is about at first You know humans trying to discover the world outside the walls who are these Titans who sent them? What are they etc and trying to make it to the beach make it to the sea so to speak and then they find out that there's Humans across the ocean that are sending Titans and stuff over to them trying to kill them eradicate them And it's just basically bad blood between two factions for a very long time I'm letting him cook, but I also have something to say so I'm just letting him cook and Technically no side truly knew the original origin point or history of how it really all started They only have they had their own history so to speak of what really happened And they're always back and forth and just this bad blood could not be settled and never killing each other One side had to be eliminated, which is what led to the rumbling and why Aram is like Once I've got to go it's either our side or their side and flock as well That was you know chastised multiple times throughout the story Technically was right in the end because if they would have finished the opposing side paradise wouldn't have died at the end credits Just gonna say but anyways The point I'm trying to make is is that the story has always been about the cycle of hatred and just you know bad blood And how you know there will never be truly an end to conflict But Isioma decided to change the story's main message to love and I don't know if he changed it to love I think it wasn't to be taken literal But like the whole thing with Fritz and stuff like to show her freedom Her like she's she's she's she's liberated from King Fritz I feel like that is what it should be taken as should be so literal as to love But then again love could do a lot love could do a lot like love is a very powerful fucking emotion and the Shit that love could push you to do and start wars like foundation of war to be love and shit You know what I mean? There was no romance. They never showed any hints from Eren's side We only understood that Mikasa is in love with Eren, but not the other way around I mean, I could see where he's coming from this is a deep critical out like look into this At least he's looking at this from this perspective, you know But I don't think it's to be taken literal this whole shit like this this whole scene of like love and stuff I don't think that's the the the How literal it should be taken you know what I mean? Like I think this whole scene is just showing her liberation from King Fritz You know what I mean? Like I feel like that it's is what Yamir is about that's that's and she's hot too Like the whole thing here at the end Yeah, what's wrong with that Someone even said in chat there said she's hot so it's all okay But Aaron literally said in the army scene that he loves Mikasa and wants her to never forget him and love him forever Yeah, Kasa loving Eren Eren never really got the same to her like he loves her It was like love that just never was fulfilled between the two But there was a mutual understanding a bond there but basically Eren never said I love you to Mikasa Mikasa never really said it to him and That's basically it and the whole reason why you know Mikasa was even Destined to be alive so to speak was for her to bring down Eren like that was the whole role that Yamir Guided Mikasa to take down Eren and it turned into like a love story so to speak like that The way the message is conveyed here is that it's a love story that you know Mikasa will be the one to the message Is like that is if you take it literal like that I feel like but I feel like what attack on Titan You can't just take things like that like if you look at attack on Titan through a very normal basic lens And I'm not saying she's doing that he's looking at this through a reviewer very advanced lens But I'm saying like to a typical viewer if they're looking at the attack on Titan through a basic lens It might come off like that But I feel like if you look at it deep like you do with the entire story you look at different things I Feel like you you don't see it as literal as like romance as about romance and love and stuff in the suffering to end No wonder King Fritz do be like that. I'm really down. Oh my god The the line and pain of like the Titans, etc. Take down Eren take down her lover and all read the first comment on the video Yamir didn't protect her kids. She saved King Fritz The panel is meant to represent what she should have actually done it seems pretty obvious honestly. That's Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah. Yep MW and DJ DJ DJ HB BBF F8 408 exactly all that and just put it into it all and where's Gothic because so kind of weird So they retconned us and as you could see here This is basically King Fritz and we get to actually see what really happened here that King They reckon it Fritz got stabbed by the spear and let me get everybody up to speed for everybody remembers this Okay, so basically what's going on with this brief little scene that happens here with Yamir Mikasa kind of having a Conversation is that King Fritz never was alive Technically Yamir didn't take that spear and die for him King Fritz died and Yamir was with her children and What makes this a really bad sequence is because it's not Confirmation if this is what Yamir wanted like for instance if this is a what if like you know What could have happened if Yamir would have stepped away and allowed King Fritz to die Isn't this like a what if scenario? Like the whole thing with Aaron and Mikasa But then people are saying the whole thing with Aaron Mikasa that what if scenario like they're saying that's not even a what if People are actually saying that's not a what if that scene with Aaron and Mikasa at the cabin and everything and everything's normal They're not they're saying that's not a what if This is literally a what if You know what I mean, so I don't know what GB Shaan say right here Or if like, you know Yamir didn't actually die and it's very calm parallel timelines I don't know if they're getting it's a multiverse shit.  I don't think that was the the ending I don't think that's what he was hinting at at all.  If this actually happened and this was legit, okay Let's just say this is the true history of what happened to King Fritz and Yamir did not die to the spear that means the whole elements of like the 13 years of like, you know Titans for instance like You know the reason why there's a time limit on Titans They can only live for a certain amount of time is because Yamir died After that long when she had the Titan she died and then it passed on to her descendants and then also the reason why the Her you know the children even got tight shifting powers is because they ate their mother the whole horrific scene that was in the long And was kind of censored in the anime, but they ate their own mother cuz King Fritz forced Forced his children in you know Yamir's children to eat her to be able to pass on the genes of the Titan shifting powers And that's kind of what led to the legacy in the maybe Chibi He's looking at this through a what-if lens himself Maybe he's speaking what if this happened? No, I don't know. I think he's she misinterpreted the scene which is fine Like if he knew this was like a what-if scenario kind of like what if this happened? What if this is the rather went down?  What happened here? So yes, I know this is probably a message saying that this is what you know You know you're probably wanted that she wanted this to happen But the problem is it's not properly conveyed 90. I think it is probably Properly properly conveyed like I saw this and I knew like immediately what it was. I think it was conveyed perfectly You know what I mean like who watched this? scene unless this is the first time you're watching attack on Titan You were confused. I mean I Understand like people could be confused but for me. I'm not the smartest person. I mean live things. I am that's all that matters I don't know what y'all think but like I went into the scene. I knew exactly what it was I didn't watch the scene. I was confused Nani and a properly conveys this and that is a huge flaw because it's left up in the air if this is the true history or not Which does kind of play with the themes of attack on Titan that you know You never know really what happened, but it's still very bad, especially for the final chapter now another problem Here is is I never really dived into this one too much even alright, so the first problem I don't agree with him with I feel like it was properly prop fuck. It was properly conveyed I feel like it was perfectly conveyed like I knew exactly what it was what was happening on the screen Confusing it could confuse people, but then you just watched the scene over and you realize it But I think it was properly conveyed in my longer reviews for the ending But another problem is is that even if hypothetically we're wanting to believe if you didn't like Chibi you'd be hating on him I Even if I didn't talk to Chibi I like that he's going in a depth with this Like he's a deep thinker and at least he's looking at it through like an advanced deep thinking lens So even if I didn't like him even if this is the first time I'm seeing and I would respect him enough to listen to his opinion I just don't agree with that take like to put that one take he has This is fake or whatever the problem is is that Ymir's love for King Fritz makes legit no sense Okay, we know that they had years together and there probably was like a lot of honeymoon moments Just beautiful moments between the two most likely But it is conveyed very toxically and just like it's not a good relationship like Ymir has Stockholm syndrome That's literally what conveyed here that the reason why she died for him was because of Stockholm syndrome She was basically a slave and that's it and she had children with him That's it. And so she never really loved him. She was just basically just Stockholm to just do that type of stuff and We never get to see King Fritz's actual like Personality like all we know is that he's this really cool Ruler so to speak and he's very cruel to Ymir cutting off her tongue and all that just doing horrific stuff So to speak to her we never got to see maybe his good side And I feel like you see on the really dropped the ball there is that if we would have gotten I mean I would have liked to see Maybe something that attracted her towards him, but the thing is Look at the modern-day world, bro.  That's not what I'm leading to But what I'm saying is he doesn't even have to do good things for her like for some girl You know what I mean some guys are attracted to toxic girls. It's toxicity could attract the people You know what I mean like he doesn't have to do good things for her to like him Some girls are like that some guys are like that. It's not just one way What do I like? I'm not I'm not attracted to toxicity. That's why I love live. She's the opposite of toxic. She's beautiful in and out Like like in and out burger. What?   You could ask yourself that you can everybody asked that like why is this girl with this guy?   Why is she with him? You could say the same thing with a guy. Why is this guy with that girl?  He's just a normal guy. He's not this hero Be better You're a villain be good He's not like that.  It's just there's a lot of things that become very complicated If you know, it's just Stockholm syndrome or love or whatever. So I wish isiama would have given more details and information about king fritz and who he really was we needed the details I think that was enough But uh, anyways besides that we need to move into another segment and I respect his date At least he explained it His story as a character.  I never did I'm gonna be completely blunt here I'm just gonna show this scene here because I think that it's legitimately such a sad moment because Historia was a very powerful female character that became a ruler. She had a birthright, etc She was up there side by side with erin and obviously erin's motivation was to kind of keep her out of this and all that But she was really sidelined There was at the time when this was coming out in the manga and even I saw anime discussion of it There was a lot of discussion that maybe this child here that his story had was erin's child There was a lot of speculation, but there's this yeah, people saying that's erin's child because uh That the kids eyes are like erin's mom's eyes.   I was like, uh, I don't know Look, it's a it's crease though who she really was so it's just like sad how her character was I agree with this because she never really got anything else to her character Yeah, apparently she got the whole history knew the future and stuff But it's like we didn't see her do any of that at all just whole paradise got killed We saw it at the end credit. So her character was wasted. Just straight up wasted. That's my two cents on the map I agree with that I understand that that's one of the criticisms. I agree with Um, does it affect that I think it's still like a fucking masterpiece that I 10 out of 10 like I love it No, but I still have that criticism like a historia I I think isyama didn't do a great job in making me connect with her like she should be important With what he's telling us about her she should be Top tier but she's not instead She's a long like I care about fleggle more Now besides that we also got to talk about like this final scene with reiner I got it. I got a show that's not the sniffing scene.  All right, you know what man? I I I would have loved to see reiner have a better send-off You know like reiner is my goat And the last time I see him is him sniffing his story his letter I think that's uh, that's Like I wish I would have seen him in a better position But whatever man he he's done. He's done. It's not like he hasn't done it before you look at the earlier seasons He loved the historia.   I mean he's you could say he's returned back to his root like his true self You could say this is who he really is He sniffs it. This is a pervert. He's a hentai. It's it's legitimately So it's in the end All reiner was was uh Was a sniffer had to see that reiner's final scene just amounted to him sniffing letters And this is a guy that had so much to where he's like he just that's funny There's even so many scenes in this episode His final episode where he's like, I just want to die pretty much. Oh, I could take the colossal titan's explosion, etc It's just like this poor man was reduced to i'm just gonna sniff letters and never When he put it like that man when I saw it I didn't have that reaction I was just so happy I was I was so caught up in a moment like I was like in disbelief that it's actually ending We're in like the final 10 minutes So I didn't see like this scene like that until now and now i'm listening to him. I'm like, wow This is really the last time I saw reiner Holy shit, and he sniffed the letter And then we never saw him again never have anything never even got with historia.  Did he have a fuck? That's the question Not a shipper by any means and i'll get more into that in a second I'm a shipper. It's very pathetic and it comes off just very sad that this is the last time I've ever seen reiner Any arm and shippers in here? Sniffing his army and I just think that For a character that's so iconic and entangled with the story thanks to being the armor titan It's sad to see that this is his final moments.  There could have been just so much better for his character But this truly is it even smells good So yeah, but let's say That's great. I'm gonna make this one really quick and I also want to make a brief disclaimer John is a character.  I don't know. Did I miss something? I'm no shipper. I'm just I want to keep this 100 real. Okay I'm not a shipper. I don't care who mikasa ended up with if it was erin or whoever. I I didn't give a crap I did But isiama made this final episode in the final chapter very romance heavy Like definitely wanted to imply that all of it was about love and romance and all that So basically it's very important to talk about and kind of the message behind it and what it means to the story Erin's entire objective is for mikasa not to move on like we saw him break down So I know I don't want that I don't want her to move on I don't want her to forget about me I don't want her to get with anyone and in a way erin wins. She never does move on He never you were jumping when the slides went Oh, I was too busy in my reaction mode when I was reacting to the episode that I missed a shot It sounds like me or she never moves now. I'm gonna see it and she continuously comes to his grave has a scarf on She's buried with a scarf. She delivers flowers to wait wait. Hey, I don't think that's his objective Yeah I don't think I think she'd be misinterpreted a few times and that's fine I mean like the whole thing with ymir and stuff But like I really respect and appreciate like his takes and she even buries herself next to him And so it's clear that she never moves on. Yeah, but the thing is fyi We know she gets with someone even in the anime it shows it, but let me let me show you the scene so basically Okay, this scene right here, right? This this is okay before he speaks, right? This is what I see, right? It could be interpreted That this is her and john's child. Even if that is john, right?   It could be that's not even john. That's just some random guy That she got with and had a kid that could be or it could be Take number two. This is john and john's kid and mika. So it's just holding john's kid It's not even hers. It's just maybe she's just a cool aunt or something. You know what I mean?  This is their child Nowhere does it say that it's just an interpretation at that point I don't know. That's how I see it at the end here. You literally see her with a kid and it's very clear. This is john How do we know that That could be any guy with a mullet in a hat And she comes here to constantly just you know be beside erin's grave Visit him etc with family friends whatever and the reason why I think that this is really bad.    You know how many people have the same hairstyle?  You know how many people have my hairstyle If they showed a backup if they showed a picture of me looking at that tree with the back of my head You would think it's either me or kim jong-un.  She's buried with a scarf and that's the whole The significance here is that the fact that she still has the scarf on Showcase is that she still loves him. That's the whole point of the scarf And so the fact that she has the scarf on while visiting his grave with jawn next door and her kid Jawn is continuously reminded that why would isiyama that obvious if he didn't want us to interpret that way? I don't think attack on titan He's he's doing things for you to clearly interpret something for that to be 100% I I feel like it's the ending so he wants you to think I don't know the only reason why she is with mikasa Like why he's with her is because he He won because he lived like, you know, she never would have chosen She never would have been with her.  I don't think anybody in the chat could tell me 100% Unless to some of you mikasa and jawn 100% are together and that's their child Could you say that? Could you say 100% clear as day as clear as my forehead is huge 90% it ain't a hundred. It's not a hundred. So that means there's still 10% I am a siyama. It's a hundred percent.  That's the lay on it Nobody could say a hundred It's mikasa's child 100% Why because she's holding him and so thanks to circumstances why he Is that a hundred percent mikasa's child I don't think so. I don't even think this is like some weird Um, um theory. I don't I don't know. I feel like he purposely wrote it for us to imagine it People are saying yeah, it's a hundred percent her kid. I don't know Mikasa stole someone else's child you could say that Or she's just so cool like that could be jawn and his kid They came to visit mikasa was there and mikasa's holding the kid because it's her best friend's child Wins and it's a really awful feeling You know jawn has to feel very awful about or his eisen's child and the fact that's also never tackled showcases one of the other Fundamental flaws once again with romance and love with isiama and attack on titan For instance, he's not good with love and romance. It's very clear like the whole Historia stuff and king fritz to just now with jawn and mikasa to erin and You know mikasa and then we have the stuff like the most organic one honestly I'm gonna be honest, man. I think as far as romance and love goes isiama captured the reality of love perfectly I don't know man. I don't know like I look at it differently. It's not clear as day Love isn't as clear shouldn't be as clear love should be complicated. You know what I mean like It would be different if something was defined as a romance I don't know man. Like if i'm connecting with a movie About love it's not going to be a romance movie. I'm not going into a romance movie trying to relate with it A roman like I'll go into like a horror not a horror movie, but like a uh Something like interstellar. It's not romantic. It's not a romance, but I'll come out of that Feeling something in my heart. Maybe feeling more romance in that than a romance film The child could be adopted Yeah Could be adopted. It could be erin's leftover child. No, I know what it makes sense. I don't even know Or maybe I don't know bro. Maybe maybe the baby was just hanging around too erin knew the baby the baby just crawled his way to the tree and now he's hanging up He is just like and it's not even that good, but armin and just like any that It's the only somewhat okay one, but it's just like Roman maybe erin made a baby friend.  I was definitely does not do justice It definitely undermines a lot of things or I feel like degrades the quality of a lot of things I agree with him with the historian take everything else.  He didn't die and erin's dead and he's maybe the baby is erin Maybe all along isyama was riding an easy guy And the baby is actually yeah, exactly rudy from ushukotensai, but it's erin It's it's erin reincarnated to a baby and amicus is gonna happen. I'm not even gonna go there Just bro This is oshinoko in the same world find it as well. She never moves on That's to feel bad, but uh Anyways, besides all of that This is the end attack on titan is over A decade long has come to a close and just sink a few years from now. There's gonna be Yeah, who's to say that's even me because maybe it's some other broad with a red scarf People that are going to watch attack on titan for the first time and start from the first episode to the conclusion And a binge and that's gonna be probably a magical experience and maybe it's not even a kid Maybe it was a doll.  I'm completely fine with that.     It's it's it's the normal world It's not the world. It's the characters we love. When will these corporations understand that? Why doesn't our spin-off work? It's because we don't care about these new characters We don't care about the world.  We don't care about the fucking hope the hotel kids The review videos to talk about it like I talk about some positive aspects in the final chapter as well But yeah, this is a good episode and the passion effort and love and detail that has been put into this series Some start to finish from episode one of season one to where we're at now It's dude the war ham. I got the dumpy.  That's what it would be called. Tell me not marvel would do that And that's where I respect anime.  Yeah, I said ringoku, right?  Did I care about his mom?

Emergency animal diseases present a real threat to Australia's red meat and wool industries. Biosecurity planning and regular inspection of your animals is essential. Recognising symptoms early can make all the difference in reducing the impact of an outbreak. So how do we help producers feel confident identifying signs of exotic disease in their sheep? The Department of Primary Industries and Regions has partnered with Animal Health Australia to develop an innovative tool to educate farmers on what to look for. The Sheep Emergency Animal Disease App uses augmented reality to project a digital flock of sheep integrated with the user's real-life surroundings. Using the HoloLens headset, you can inspect the flock and select the six sheep. Identifying the signs of disease is made easy using hints that pop up in real time. The app can also be used on a mobile phone or tablet without a headset. The Department of Primary Industries and Regions and Animal Health Australia innovating the way we think about educating producers on emergency animal disease preparedness. This is an educational tool, not a diagnostic tool. If you notice any symptoms in your animals, immediately call the Emergency Animal Disease Watch hotline on 1800 67588 or your local vet.

I'm very happy to present this work on the effects of COVID and inequality in Latin America, which is joint work with Ivana Severo, Maria Jose Cota and Miguel Sekely from the Centro de Estudios Educativos y Sociales of Mexico, and Francesca Castellani and myself from the Inter-American Development Bank. So what I'm going to show you today is first what we do with the 2020 household surveys. We look at those and we check what happened in COVID on inequality, and that's what we're going to do. But then I'm going to show you also a bit of the longer time trends and some current work that we're conducting on by looking at what happened in 2021, but not on inequality on labor markets, but as we know they're linked. So I'm going to also show you a preview of the current work that we're also doing. So general trends for Latin America and the Caribbean, well mostly Latin America and the Dominican Republic in this case, we see that this is a 30 years trend of inequality. We can see if you look at the lighter blue line, you see that inequality increased between 1992 and 2002 kind of steadily, so in the first decade there was a large increase in inequality. But then in the 2000 and specifically in these cases starts in 2002, we see a consistent drop of inequality, so we're moving towards more equality in the region. And this is related to many things. So first of all, you can see that the share of the poorest, the sale in the total income increases over time, and we see the same in the richest, I have a pointer, in the richest the sale that decreases, so you can see that this inequality is also related to the extreme part of the distribution. And also you can think that in the 2000s you had a lot of things going on for the region. You had some demographic changes happening, so a lower dependence ratio through time. You also had an expansion of the education system, so lower education premium that were going on, and also more favorable terms of trade for the region in general and the commodity boom, etc. But then what we're going to focus on is on the darker blue line, which has a very similar trend, but it's only for the 10 countries for which we managed to analyze the data for 2020 and look at inequality. And you see that during 2020 there was an increase in the Gini coefficient. It doesn't look, it's not as big as the Indian one. This is an average for the region, it goes from 0.49 to 0.50. But still, it's a 2% increase. And if you think of the increase that we saw in the first decade of this trend, where the average growth in inequality was half as much, then it becomes like a powerful increase. This is just to give you an idea of what's going behind those average trends. This is the story of, it's pretty much for every country. You see that the income share of the poorest increased pretty much for older countries that were looking at between 2000 and 2019. And the same story is very similar for the richest. For most countries you had the decrease of the share of the total income. And so as a result, you had that in most countries the Gini coefficients between these two years increased even though in Costa Rica and Colombia is not exactly the case. But for the rest of the countries, that's what we observe. And then during the pandemic instead we see that there is a general increase with larger heterogeneities among countries. And when we look at the percentage changes, you see that there are some countries, these are Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and Chile in which the increases in inequality were very large. And you have some countries in which the changes were not profound, Costa Rica and Argentina. Where I see Mexico and Paraguay, there is like a reversal. And you can think that perhaps 2019 was a specific year, you shouldn't compare those two. So we also show that when we take between 2015 and 2019 the average Gini coefficient and we compare it to 2020, the picture is the same. So we see that there is a general increase except for Paraguay and Mexico. And then we start to think about trying to dig deeper into these changes. And we estimate this equation in which on the left hand side we have the natural log of the income of the household. And then we have a series of dummies that control for gender, for the average age of the adults in the household. And these are dummies in which category they were. There was a young category, a prime age or an older one. The education levels and the urban and rural area. And we estimate this for 2019 and separately from 2020. And these betas that we observe for each country and year, we interpret them as the premium related to the gender, age, education, et cetera. And what we're going to calculate is how this change, this premium change between 2019 and 2020. And then to check sectoral changes instead, we take the hourly wages, except for Chile where we have only the weekly wages. But we take the wage of only the employed because we want to see also the sectoral changes if there were some sector premium they changed. And so in this case we don't look at the full household. We just look at the ones who are occupied, which means that the unemployed are excluded from these estimations. And what do we find? So first of all, the summary of what I'm going to show you is that there is a lot of heterogeneity across countries. So it's very difficult to summarize except for education, which we will see last. And so in some countries like Colombia, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru and Paraguay, we see that the income premium related to households where the head of the household is a man, compared to the income of the households where the head of the household is a female, they increased. So basically these kind of households are very different as we know, but we see that the situation got even worse. And then if we look at the premium related to urban and rural areas here as well, we see very similar things to India. Basically in most of the countries we see that the urban premium that is generally associated to being in an urban area decreased. In most of the countries we see that it decreased because similarly to India and similar to most of the countries, the impact of COVID was more in urban areas. If we look at the age, we have very different, very heterogeneous results. So in some countries you see that the income premium related to the young population, to the average ages of 18, 29, compared to the 30, 44 age group, they diminished. And in some other countries the income premium related to the 45, 59 years old decrease. And by sector it's a bit puzzling what we find because we would have expected that the secondary and tertiary were affected more. And here you see that it's very heterogeneous. In some sectors you have that the secondary premium and tertiary premium mostly decreased, but in some others you have the opposite. And here probably depends on who remained in the sectors and the incomes that they had. Here what we find very interesting is that in general the income premium related to education, in the first graph you see having lower secondary education with respect to non-education, upper secondary with respect to non-education and tertiary education with respect to non-education and pretty consistently excluding Argentina, which is only Buenos Aires and Bolivia, you see that the education premium all decreased. And this is, we believe very much related to what happened in the labor markets of Latin America where you had a large share of employed people that left the labor markets. And so if you think that it's the most vulnerable who left the labor markets and so the lower productive and with lower wages and probably lower educated, then the ones who remain, thank you, the ones who remain are more productive. So probably this is something that is related to who remains in the labor market and is in the estimation. So if it is the most productive among the non-educated ones, that's what can explain this picture. And then we ask ourselves, okay, how did remittances and government transfers affect this change in inequality? Because we know from other reports that remittances, they stopped in the second quarter of 2020, the ones going to Latin America, but then they picked up again in the third quarter and the fourth quarter. And we know in general from the literature that remittances have a beneficial effect on reducing poverty, but the effects on inequality are more unclear. And when we look at what happens, so the light blue ones is the other genicoefficient, the change in the genicoefficient that we already saw throughout the presentation. The yellow is what would have happened if there were no remittances going to the region. And you see that the genie index are not very much changed, which suggests that probably the remittances were not tackling exactly the poorest, but were probably going more across the distribution. Instead, we also know that countries, they had huge fiscal packages to try to help the population, not as large as in advanced economies, but also in Latin America with a lot of heterogeneities, there were large fiscal packages. And it's very interesting to see that in some countries like Costa Rica, Ecuador or Peru, the fact that they had these transfers helped a lot to reduce the increase in inequality. They mitigated it a lot, because without those transfers, the inequality would have been much larger, which we found very interesting. And this is a preview of the other work that we are doing that anyway it's with more recent data. So I really wanted to show this is, we are looking at more countries. We have data for 10 countries again, but these are the ones in which we have quarterly data. So there are the masses pictures. So I wanted to show these ones. And so you see that the shock, this is the employment basically. So the shock in 2020, you see that there is a drop across all the countries. And then in 2021 it starts to recover. In blue you have what happened to women. And in yellow you have what happened to men. And it's very interesting, because we were wondering what's happening to women. And it's very interesting that in some countries you see that it starts picking up and sometimes even more for women than for men. It doesn't happen everywhere. But it's something that we found very interesting. And then you have some other countries in which instead the gap increased and it increased a bit in 2021, but still there is a bit of a gap. So again, very heterogeneous results. And this is some, again, some graphs summarizing a bit of the result. And when we look only at 2021, these are the gender, so we calculate the labor force participation and informality rates and another bunch of indicators for both female and men. Then we take the difference for each of these indicators. And here we are plotting how the gender gap in those indicators changed in 2021 compared to 2020. So here you see, for example, the Argentina in labor force participation. You see that there is, so for all these countries, not only Argentina, you see that there is an increase of labor force participation. So the gender gap changed favorably for women, which is basically the graph before. And it's not only in Argentina, we see it also in Guatemala and Uruguay and in Costa Rica. And here we see the reverse. And then the question is always, okay, they're more likely to be in the labor market, which doesn't mean there isn't a gap, it's just a change in the gap. They're more likely to be in the labor market, but do they get worse jobs or better jobs? Informal jobs can be a proxy of that, sorry. And here we see that he's not always the case. Sometimes even in terms of formality, so when you, I know here it says informality, but the ones that are in these quadrants, in the first and the two, are the ones where the gap changes favorably for women. So it's not always the case.  And anyway, we see that the overall loss in terms of income was larger for women. So even though there is a lot of heterogeneity and it's not necessarily that things got worse, still there was a big loss in 2020. And so concluding, inequality increased on average by 2% between 2019 and 2020. There is a lot of heterogeneities by country, education, gender, etc. Remittances had the modest effect in preventing greater disparities. And instead, government transfer played a big role. And as far as 2021 data is concerned, you have mixed pictures in terms of labor indicators, but still the income loss was greater for women. And that's it. Thank you very much.
