Attack on Titan |
Our Top Pick tonight is the series finale Attack on Titan (Adult Swim, midnight). It took 2 years (3 years in its native Japan), but the fourth and final season of the anime Attack on Titan concludes with its second special (a.k.a. 4 episodes). The story of Eren Jaeger and the monstrous Titan beings that plague his world has taken many turns since the 2014 debut. Needless to say, the conspiracy went all the way to the top and historical oppressions were uncovered and fights for freedom were waged. In the final specials, the heroes split with some wanting co-existence and others seeking to cleanse the world of opposition. I enjoy the show, but it can be thick with its lore and large cast. Plus the voice acting is often over the top and overly dramatic. But that's not uncommon in anime. (I haven't gotten to the first special yet.)
Elsewhere, Gypsy Rose Blanchard gives her Confessions, Love is at the golf course, Dr. Pol is still incredible, and Naruto makes sacrifices.
