What didn't make sense to you?

And Eren breaking down is a tragic masterpiece. He doesn't want this but he's a slave to freedom. It's good to make this bad ass look like a pathetic sniveling loser.

Hot take: AoT peaked in the basement.

The outside world and the subsequent war against Liberio (and the world) wasn't nearly as interesting as the bread crumbs leading up to it.

It was still almost as hard to follow as it was in the manga. The fight is just a bunch of flashy shit happening all over, and the ending doesn't make a whole lot of sense either.

Also, Eren's breakdown over Misaka is just as stupid and character-shattering as it is in the manga too.

So what are the actual differences in the ending?

I haven't watched it myself, but I heard they changed Armin's line "Thank you for committing genocide to save us, Eren."

So what are the actual differences in the ending? Because I seem to recall that when the finale first aired manga readers were complaining about how the ending was changed, however if I'm not mistaken the author of the series said the anime ending was exactly what he wanted or pictured?

What about the ending didn't make sense to you (from the anime)?

Someone already mentioned them slightly changing Armin's line, but I think the bigger deal was the post-credits. I looked it up just now and it doesn't convey time passing nearly as well. It goes from Mikasa dying from old age to Paradis being bombed to hell. The only indicating that time passed is that the buildings became skyscrapers. So it very much came across as them getting like fifty or sixty years of peace, then being obliterated anyway.

I thought it was a solid ending. It was not the peak of the show, but I don't think it ruined the entire series or anything. It ended as well as I could expect.

I mean, I've only seen the anime and thought it was perfectly clear there were hundreds of years that passed. Skyscrapers don't just happen overnight.

Damn, there was post credits stuff? I didn't even know about that lol.

Also, it kind of makes it seem like Eren had the right idea, that Eldians would never be free or safe as long as non-Eldians exist, and even after losing their titan powers the rest of the world just proved him right.

And I think this was one of the big issues people had with it. The fact that it didn't clearly indicate how much time passed makes it seem like they were wiped out because they were Eldians.

With the anime making it clearer that it's a much longer timespan, it fits more in with the message of war being an immutable part of existence. There's every possibility that no one really cares or even remembers the Eldian prejudice anymore and the island was bombed for entirely new reasons.

I guess that really does depend on how long it took for society to change

I looked at the anime epilogue again. Aside from adding more transition scenes, the skyscrapers also look a bit more futuristic than contemporary ones. Obviously it'll vary, but I can easily see it being another hundred years after Mikasa dies of old age. So roughly two centuries at least after the Rumbling. I'd even go so far as to suggest three.
