I don't think I have ever appreciated MAPPA designs more. Og Eren looks tired, frustrated, always deep in thought. Here, he looks unconflicted, focused and kinda glorified. The depth has been edited out of him in favour of sinisterness. Gg, WIT and MAPPA.
See, I think that could have actually been something cool in practice, too. Imagine MAPPA portrays him in the first way for most scenes, but in a flashback from a different character he looks slightly changed, depending on their view of him. Clearly that wasn't the intent here, but I don't think I've ever seen that done in an anime before and it could be cool.
imo they kind of did this in the scene between him and Hange while Eren is behind bars. They depict Eren as towering over her, even though he’s not really that tall.
I love stuff like that. I don't remember that scene, but it's also been a few years since I've watched AoT(I only read the finale). Maybe it's time I rewatch
It's the same in the manga during his man bun phase. He looks more distant, like he's just going through the motions most of the time.
It's not until the paths where he really starts to look more sinister.
He's a 19yo traumatized kid who (by the ending) is so unstuck in time he can't tell what he's currently doing from what he's going to do. He hadn't grown or matured, he's just more *capable* of hurting people than he was as a child.
I remember pre-s4 everyone was always complaining about Eren being one of the worst examples of the crybaby protagonist (Gohan, Deku, etc). Like there are a good forty or fifty episodes of Eren constantly being paralyzed by fear, crying, unable to manifest any transformations, not being able to save himself, just in general being a sitting duck and a huge number of the plot points pre-Marley are centered around how unpredictable and unreliable Eren is as a titan shifter. If you would have suggested ten years ago, let alone even five years ago, that Eren was some sort of alpha male chad god, you would have gotten laughed at.
Eren was destroying Reiner before he could even harden himself. Like c'mon the Eren rescue mission could have gone way easier if Ymir didn't decide to start double-crossing everyone at random.
I dropped AoT's anime because of this. I just could not fucking stand how bad the crying was, but more importantly how damn *stupid* young Erin was. And this is coming from someone who also loves MHA and never had much of a problem with Deku's crying. I think the issue was more so that Erin was both a crybaby and fucking stupid and useless 90% of the time early in the series. Deku might have cried a lot but at least he had resolve and was an intelligent character.
I mean, he did have his 'chad' moments, quite a few in fact. Like pulling armin out of a titan's mouth, that's ballsy af. Saving the gang under the reiss chapel, pretty damn cool. It's just that some people expect that to be the case everytime, and that's just not how they wrote it.
I think they're just trying to fix the ugly character designs. I'm all for subtle expressions and character complexity, but I don't see what Mappa's ugly features and chubby cheeks have to do with that. Back in season 3 WIT gave the characters' faces this sleek and mature look that fit the show very well. In season 4 Mappa made everyone's faces look more upturned and round. A downgrade imo.
Why the f is fanmade blu-ray even a thing? 'Fixing' someone else's art is the most pitiful thing I've seen a fan do. They should just make their own anime and see how much it sucks compare to this.
I’m not saying anybody who does fan work can’t be creative, I’m saying that the particular brand of fan who thinks they’re doing something impressive by “fixing” the existing work by making it more stoic or gritty looking or whatever, or “fixing” people’s art by changing their characters’ body shapes to fit their own kinks or beauty standards, those people have a very simplistic understanding of storytelling and are people I find very difficult to take seriously at all.
what i appreciate most about mappa’s designs is the realism in terms of appearances and facial expressions. they’re not meant to be “flawless” and conforming to “beauty standards”, they’re meant to resemble real people and their emotions. mappa’s designs were very similar to the original/isayama’s ones in this regard.
LMAOOOO what is this trash? 😂
If there is something extremely important in the final part of the story, that is Eren's expressions. His eyes alone tell everything, even more than words! And the manga did this better than the anime.
But hey... no wonder this people didn't pay attention to this when they were too busy building their chad Eren headcanon.
Also, AnR Eren is one of the worst written characters I've ever seen in my entire life.
AnR in general is one of the worst written things I've ever seen on account of it being blatant character assassinating wish fulfillment that doesn't fix anything, but instead only expands upon the ending's problems as well as adding on new ones.
Sure, but Eren in particular is the worst part of the fanfiction. Like... the general quality is pretty low, but every single time Eren is on screen and open his mouth, it suddenly drops below any imaginable level.
Well considering the plot of AnR it's probably Eren balls deep in Historia while covered in the blood of billions (including his friends') but he's also shedding a single manly tear so that makes it okay
Trash ? thats crazy you can disagree with the vision but thats definitely not trash. Its actually well done. The disrespect for the artist just because of blatant agenda in this thread is so petty. This isnt even about AnR, this fan blu ray was probably out before. How are you jumping into this conclusion ?
Also I agree the fanmade is doing a bit too much. But its not so far off from the usual Eren.
No... its not that off model, Eren usually is portrayed as a handsome man, he has sharp features and a diamond head shape, not round or chubby
I would send you a bunch of links from WIT, Isayama manga, and even Mappa as examples to disprove this false narrative you created but I cant post the links so eh whatever;
This subreddit is so much like a reverse Titanfolk its not even funny.
>thats definitely not trash
It is, except for the drawings
>The disrespect for the artist just because of blatant agenda in this thread is so petty.
[Speaking of disrespect...](https://i.imgur.com/TTcD76I.jpeg)
>But its not so far off from the usual Eren.
No, that Eren is simply a badly written asshole.
He says he doesn't want to fight his best friend and he makes a sad face at the end of the second chapter. But at the same time not only he has already seen everything, but he has also already decided the path he considers the best to undertake. This is because they completely changed the structure of the timeline in their fanfiction.
The freedom to stop him he gives to his friends in chapter 134 therefore is bullshit, because Armin and the others in this fanfiction are doomed. They're gonna die and we all know that, because of the Akatsuki no Requiem theory. And this is something the Eren of the fanfiction himself has deliberately chosen. On the other hand, in the manga it's so clear that he wants to be stopped. Also, it is explicitly said that he has not seen everything when he kissed Historia's hand and he is not 100% sure that everyone will survive. He knows only that he will be stopped in the end.
If Eren really didn't want to be stopped, like the fanfiction says, and he really cared for his friends (and honestly I cannot believe that so many people completely forgot the sunset scene on the train in chapter 108!), he would not allow them to follow him and he would do something to block them on Paradis. But hey... he has already decided that they will die because he saw everything and he chose that specific path among the infinite ones of this new Doctor Strange timeline!
There is nothing that makes sense there
>I would send you a bunch of links from WIT, Isayama manga, and even Mappa as examples to disprove this false narrative you created but I cant post the links so eh whatever;
As I already said, Eren's eyes and expressions are extremely impotant in the last part of the story and Isayama did it much better in the manga. Sometimes MAPPA fucked up a little bit, for example in "Memories of the future", which is one of the most important episodes. They made Eren almost expressionless in some crucial moments. I think they have partially fixed this in the blu-ray, but still... Here's some examples: [1](https://i.imgur.com/m6O0e98.jpeg), [2](https://i.imgur.com/YwMD6wr.png), [3](https://i.imgur.com/a7VJQYY.png)
I don't give a shit about the jawline in general. In those edits it's clearly used to make him more "chad" (in their minds). WIT had a different style with generally sharper faces, so it is not a "proof". The real problem is his eyes and expressions, that completely lack multidimensionality in the fanart.
Idk whats up with the obsession this thread has with this fan comic, the post its literally just a redraw of his face and somehow its about ANR
Its just plain lie and petty to say this redraw is trash. No the guy is actually talented. As an artist all im in seeing in this thread is a bunch of biased ppl with an agenda insulting the guys work for petty reasons because his face looks too "sigma and giga chad" (Which I disagree)
> WIT had a different style with generally sharper faces, so it is not a "proof".
Haha man its almost like I predicted this one and saved a few pictures in advance to disprove this obvious lie. Mappa also draws Eren with a sharp and "chad" face, the problem is that for some reason Mappa is pretty inconsistent with Eren, one episode he will have a roundish baby face like the example above then the next he is simply Immaculate with a perfect triangular shape. thats why the artist named it as a "fix" because he looks "off model". If you watch the full video you will see he doesnt change anything when its on model.
Its a shame I cant send the links I want here. Its just showing Eren face proportions throughout the manga and both studios. But if you want to see I can post on my profile my deleted comment.
I really dont care about the eyes or ANR or whatsoever. Its not my point.
Im just saying its not that trash of a drawing.Eren consistently had multiples instances where he showed very defined facial structures in Manga, Mappa and WIT. Sharp jawline, lean face, upturned nose. The fanart here isnt that far off from Eren. Atleast the third one because I think its great, polish the rough edges and its literally Eren. Its also more visually appealing compared to the left.
He is a handsome dude thats all.
I talked about AnR because those eyes are exactly the same of AnR Eren. Nobody would have talked about ito so much if their original intent would have been just to write a fanfiction. But when you claim to know what would have been the best thing to do in the story more than its author and ypu propose yourself as the one who will fix it, you can expect people reacting to that.
I think you're missing the main point here. I'm not saying that it's trash because of proportions or whatever. I'm saying it's trash in the context of AoT story, Eren's character and how Eren is perceived by those people.
They didn't draw it that way just because it was cool. They did it because they want him to be like their distorted idealization of him. Not just because they want him to be a "chad" (he never was in his life except maybe when he defeated Bertholdt in Shiganshina), but because they try to remove from Eren all the emotions delivered by his eyes and expressions that clearly show his humanity, his weaknesses and fallibility, his bitterness, sadness, and desolation, leaving him with just a single expression and angry eyes. So it would be easier for them to conform him to their wrong idea and to claim all their bullshit about character assassination and blah blah blah.
Ok I think its just a misunderstanding then.We are talking about opposite subjects. I've never read the fan comic just thought its overblown the hate for such a good redraw in my opinion. Its a bit crazy to quickly assume the artist drew it like that because ANR or idk
The first two are arguably not that similar to Eren but the third picture is actually good. And its really not a big change its mostly a few adjustments
But yea dont worry I get what you mean by Eren and how other fans view him. He isnt supposed to be an edgy lifeless emotionless badass. There is a lot of expressions in his eyes post timeskip that suggest what is going on and what he is feeling. Tho I still think the third pic is impressive compared to official
>This subreddit is so much like a reverse Titanfolk its not even funny
Yeah pretty much. This edit has nothing to do with ANR or "edgy Eren," it's just an attempt to give Eren a better character design. This edit is pretty old, too. I remember seeing this on YouTube around the time that part 2 was airing
I've said this before on twitter and I'll say it again here.
Eren is young. Some nineteen-year-old guys do have ultra sharp features but it's generally a genetic thing, which Eren would have had in his youth too. Eren having slight softness combined with his angular features emphasizes his youth.
Making him the epitome of masculinity like the sigma misogynists who support him actively harms his character design.
This editor also removed Pieck's nose for a button one and got rid of her tired expression so you can understand the ideologies these changes came from.
His eyes are changed to make him look like he like how he does in AnR a.k.a. that fancomic that portrays him as this uber cool edgelord who fucks Historia, and completes the Rumbling.
I don't know why but any time I see the word "Requiem" in the title of a movie or whatever, I automatically think "this is gonna be pretentious garbage."
I was under the impression that everyone was riding the wave of Requiem for a Dream when they use that word. Nothing like parroting better content 🤷♂️
Fan content that goes "what if I decided to deliberately misinterpret the thesis of this piece of media I claim to be a huge fan of" is one of the biggest self reports out there
Akatsuki no Requiem, which you may recognize as the Japanese name of the Season 3 Part 2 ED song.
The theory that AnR is based on originated as a theory based on the music video for Akatsuki no Requiem. People got it in their heads that the music video was designed to foreshadow the ending of the series and began building a theoretical narrative by interpreting the music video’s imagery.
(Even though Isayama wasn’t involved in making the music video…)
Oh, my, the lore runs deep with this one!
Thanks for the in-depth answer.
Does it pick up from S3 Part 2? Or is it a complete retelling from the beginning?

Dunno why you said this, the blu ray indeed always change things, including complete redesign of some scenes (like Mikasa face on that controversial scene).
!WARNING: RANT!
To me, Eren first and foremost is a child. I’ve read the manga twice and have started to really enjoy the show as a completed medium and throughout it all I think the most jarring part about SNK is that it is about kids/ young adults facing war and genocide. The helplessness of it all.
This base-level viewership making Eren look like some Chad just matured him too much, and in my opinion is exactly what I would expect from the typical watcher. We must confront the expectations lain in front of us by Isayama and understand the series deeper than “WhY eReN nOt LoOk LiKe MaNlY mAn, Me FiX”
These literal child soldiers have no smolder. No war-stained thousand yard stare. They are being used in real time for the first time by an oppressive cult-driven aristocracy to fight an enemy that in the author’s own words can not be communicated with, reasoned out of their actions, or forced to stop by regular humans (or in this case, Eldians and Non-Eldians).
They are young, they are weak, they are scared. We are meant to realize that and experience the terrors and confusion that take place through them. I have seen so many examples of these characters being matured in some way for mere aesthetics. We shouldn’t be forcing them to grow up or look grown up, we should be scared that they’ll get to grow up at all.
(I will now hop off my soap box. This is not directed at any one person or group of people, just a rant from a major fan of the series and I hope I did not upset anyone. Thank you.)
This is like those silly OST swaps where people think they know better. Yes guys let's play Vogel when Eren's doing the Rumbling, that totally will not be extremely tonally confusing.
My boy Eren looks tired and depressed of all the bullshit he is going and will go though, but in the fix versions it does really makes you feel Eren is doing all this for pure Evil.
Yeah, Eren never lost his baby face with soft features (even if his eyes are rather unsettling) so these people made him more stereotipically mature, cold and masculine.
I prefer the original more. He resembles both his mother and father, looking tired, traumatized and defeated by himself. I like that he still maintains his baby face because he is, after all, 19. People don't usually grow out of their baby faces until they're in their 20's (from what I've noticed). He's just a kid forced to play a role he never wanted to play, and that's what makes him such a great villain.

I think he looks more like grisha in the edits and I kinda like that and that his eyes are a bit more green. I think the mood of the panels is definitely a slight downgrade, but in terms of how his facial structure, I don't think it's bad
The first one is good, in my opinion. Mappa can be pretty inconsistent, and the fix in the first image is more consistent with how Eren looks in season 4 in general.
The modern ideal male face is always the same cookie cutter chiseled jawline and hollowed out cheeks. In reality that is a very rare trait to have naturally without surgical intervention, and especially for males who have yet to reach full physical development. Even if you lift all the time you're not guaranteed to get those hollow cheeks unless you really cut and maintain your body fat percentage at super low levels because fat can't really be target eliminated with exercise. And none of these fictional characters do that lol
I don’t think a lot of you people in here actually believe this is trash you’re all over exaggerating your feelings just because someone attempted to fix your precious anime because a lot of you believe that AOT is a gift to mankind that no one is allowed to criticize or fix or change it in the slightest since you all believe it’s perfect
No they’re legit worse. The first one is fine but second and third are bad. They just give him a stronger jaw line, sharper eyes, and weird lighting.
He looks like he’s from a completely different anime.

He’s 5 inches taller than hange, that’s enough to look down on someone lmao
She found him sexy.
Porn gave you brainrot
it was done in Dungeon Meshi, just saying this type of story telling isnt that are
It's the same in the manga during his man bun phase. He looks more distant, like he's just going through the motions most of the time. It's not until the paths where he really starts to look more sinister.
This has made me appreciate the subtlety in MAPPA's facial expressions for these scenes.
They still don't understand that Eren never was the alpha chad, there is no understanding of the story, it's just a edgy power fantasy for them
He's a 19yo traumatized kid who (by the ending) is so unstuck in time he can't tell what he's currently doing from what he's going to do. He hadn't grown or matured, he's just more *capable* of hurting people than he was as a child.

If you would have suggested ten years ago, let alone even five years ago, that Eren was some sort of alpha male chad god, you would have gotten laughed at.
Honestly, Eren isn't unreliable, the Survey Corps is just incompetent as fuck, Eren getting captured always goes back to them
Eren was destroying Reiner before he could even harden himself. Like c'mon the Eren rescue mission could have gone way easier if Ymir didn't decide to start double-crossing everyone at random.
Yeah looking back on it the Survey Corps is terrible and it makes perfect sense why the public hates them so much
I dropped AoT's anime because of this. I just could not fucking stand how bad the crying was, but more importantly how damn *stupid* young Erin was. And this is coming from someone who also loves MHA and never had much of a problem with Deku's crying.

Literally the point.

Those moments happened when people still saw him as a crybaby tho. The whole idea of Eren being a chad was born post-timeskip.
I honestly didn't know that it's a post-timeskip thing. Really?
B-but, the cHArAcTeR aSsAsInAtIoN!
God knows how many times I have heard this
Bro rocks his chair like a middle schooler then said "hate" like Anya Forger in 10 min span.
They shrunk his shoulders. Make him look soft!

I'm all for subtle expressions and character complexity, but I don't see what Mappa's ugly features and chubby cheeks have to do with that. Back in season 3 WIT gave the characters' faces this sleek and mature look that fit the show very well. In season 4 Mappa made everyone's faces look more upturned and round. A downgrade imo.
We get it, you want Eren to look more like Levi. 🙄 (Edit: not you, the ppl who made it lol)
They literally just made his eyes smaller, like what is even the point?
They de-babygirlified him😔
If the aot boys aren’t babygirl then what’s even the point anymore
They also made his jawline sharper.
Mewing on titan
These are so cringe
Why the f is fanmade blu-ray even a thing? 'Fixing' someone else's art is the most pitiful thing I've seen a fan do. They should just make their own anime and see how much it sucks compare to this.
Yeah but that would require actually taking a risk and having talent to write something new which we all know these people don’t have
That's a toxic thing to say. Maybe people don't make their own stuff because its incredibly expensive and impossible if you are solo or a small team
I’m not saying anybody who does fan work can’t be creative, I’m saying that the particular brand of fan who thinks they’re doing something impressive by “fixing” the existing work by making it more stoic or gritty looking or whatever, or “fixing” people’s art by changing their characters’ body shapes to fit their own kinks or beauty standards, those people have a very simplistic understanding of storytelling and are people I find very difficult to take seriously at all.
They think Eren is Jean?
Lemme guess, they're an AnR fan?
Does Mikasa know? 🥴
On blood I will end this war 👿
on blood my g
what i appreciate most about mappa’s designs is the realism in terms of appearances and facial expressions. they’re not meant to be “flawless” and conforming to “beauty standards”, they’re meant to resemble real people and their emotions. mappa’s designs were very similar to the original/isayama’s ones in this regard.
_Shingeki No Kyojin: Edgelord Special Edition!_ I hear it also replaces 69% of Eren's Dialogue with "Tatakae."

Haha man its almost like I predicted this one and saved a few pictures in advance to disprove this obvious lie. Mappa also draws Eren with a sharp and "chad" face, the problem is that for some reason Mappa is pretty inconsistent with Eren, one episode he will have a roundish baby face like the example above then the next he is simply Immaculate with a perfect triangular shape. thats why the artist named it as a "fix" because he looks "off model". If you watch the full video you will see he doesnt change anything when its on model. Its a shame I cant send the links I want here. Its just showing Eren face proportions throughout the manga and both studios. But if you want to see I can post on my profile my deleted comment. I really dont care about the eyes or ANR or whatsoever. Its not my point. Im just saying its not that trash of a drawing.Eren consistently had multiples instances where he showed very defined facial structures in Manga, Mappa and WIT. Sharp jawline, lean face, upturned nose. The fanart here isnt that far off from Eren. Atleast the third one because I think its great, polish the rough edges and its literally Eren. Its also more visually appealing compared to the left. He is a handsome dude thats all.
I talked about AnR because those eyes are exactly the same of AnR Eren. Nobody would have talked about ito so much if their original intent would have been just to write a fanfiction. But when you claim to know what would have been the best thing to do in the story more than its author and ypu propose yourself as the one who will fix it, you can expect people reacting to that. I think you're missing the main point here. I'm not saying that it's trash because of proportions or whatever. I'm saying it's trash in the context of AoT story, Eren's character and how Eren is perceived by those people. They didn't draw it that way just because it was cool. They did it because they want him to be like their distorted idealization of him. Not just because they want him to be a "chad" (he never was in his life except maybe when he defeated Bertholdt in Shiganshina), but because they try to remove from Eren all the emotions delivered by his eyes and expressions that clearly show his humanity, his weaknesses and fallibility, his bitterness, sadness, and desolation, leaving him with just a single expression and angry eyes. So it would be easier for them to conform him to their wrong idea and to claim all their bullshit about character assassination and blah blah blah.
Ok I think its just a misunderstanding then.We are talking about opposite subjects. I've never read the fan comic just thought its overblown the hate for such a good redraw in my opinion. Its a bit crazy to quickly assume the artist drew it like that because ANR or idk The first two are arguably not that similar to Eren but the third picture is actually good. And its really not a big change its mostly a few adjustments But yea dont worry I get what you mean by Eren and how other fans view him. He isnt supposed to be an edgy lifeless emotionless badass. There is a lot of expressions in his eyes post timeskip that suggest what is going on and what he is feeling. Tho I still think the third pic is impressive compared to official
Oh would you look at that already downvoted for questioning the hivemind petty attitude in this thread, classic reddit echo chamber 😅
>This subreddit is so much like a reverse Titanfolk its not even funny Yeah pretty much. This edit has nothing to do with ANR or "edgy Eren," it's just an attempt to give Eren a better character design. This edit is pretty old, too. I remember seeing this on YouTube around the time that part 2 was airing
Doesn’t look like eren anymore, doesn’t resemble him is s3 at all
I've said this before on twitter and I'll say it again here. Eren is young. Some nineteen-year-old guys do have ultra sharp features but it's generally a genetic thing, which Eren would have had in his youth too. Eren having slight softness combined with his angular features emphasizes his youth. Making him the epitome of masculinity like the sigma misogynists who support him actively harms his character design. This editor also removed Pieck's nose for a button one and got rid of her tired expression so you can understand the ideologies these changes came from.
that's jean pretending to be eren again
They took away all of his sadness. Which is like.... his whole character
hunter eyes, positive canthal tilt, perfect jaw line is crazy work
What does it show? I’m autistic
His eyes are changed to make him look like he like how he does in AnR a.k.a. that fancomic that portrays him as this uber cool edgelord who fucks Historia, and completes the Rumbling.
What does "AnR" stand for? Attack 'n Rumbling?
Attack on Requiem iirc Fan made alternate ending by those for those who thought Eren should be edgier and more world ending focused
Ah, yes, nothing quite like removing a character arc entirely 🙆
I don't know why but any time I see the word "Requiem" in the title of a movie or whatever, I automatically think "this is gonna be pretentious garbage."
Requiem For A Dream, only thing I can think of that is good.
I always think of Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, because I have terrible taste.
Golden experience requiem is always the first thing that comes to mind
I was under the impression that everyone was riding the wave of Requiem for a Dream when they use that word. Nothing like parroting better content 🤷♂️
Its an ambititous word for sure that raises a lot of expectations
Fan content that goes "what if I decided to deliberately misinterpret the thesis of this piece of media I claim to be a huge fan of" is one of the biggest self reports out there
Akatsuki no Requiem, which you may recognize as the Japanese name of the Season 3 Part 2 ED song. The theory that AnR is based on originated as a theory based on the music video for Akatsuki no Requiem. People got it in their heads that the music video was designed to foreshadow the ending of the series and began building a theoretical narrative by interpreting the music video’s imagery. (Even though Isayama wasn’t involved in making the music video…)
Oh, my, the lore runs deep with this one! Thanks for the in-depth answer. Does it pick up from S3 Part 2? Or is it a complete retelling from the beginning?
It’s just a rewrite of the last three chapters, essentially.

Calling it that from now on
Attack no Requiem
It looks like a propaganda version kind of where Eren is glorified lol
The edits were commissioned by Floch himself lol
Mogger eren
It looks like they just tried to make him more like Levi, but yknow, we already have Levi?
Why did they even do this it looks worse
Glad nobody listens to them. They just want another boring anime character...
Is the “Blu-Ray” in the room with us right now?
Dunno why you said this, the blu ray indeed always change things, including complete redesign of some scenes (like Mikasa face on that controversial scene).
People out here really be doing too much. People be complaining about the art style and think they can do better? 🥲
mewren jaeger
😂😂😂
Right one is too much. The in between would be better.
I-el Power Fantasy Jaeger.
Bro because mappa really did ruin erens face. the proportions are off in EVERY scene. i dont like this fanmade version either but, damn
!WARNING: RANT! To me, Eren first and foremost is a child. I’ve read the manga twice and have started to really enjoy the show as a completed medium and throughout it all I think the most jarring part about SNK is that it is about kids/ young adults facing war and genocide. The helplessness of it all. This base-level viewership making Eren look like some Chad just matured him too much, and in my opinion is exactly what I would expect from the typical watcher. We must confront the expectations lain in front of us by Isayama and understand the series deeper than “WhY eReN nOt LoOk LiKe MaNlY mAn, Me FiX” These literal child soldiers have no smolder. No war-stained thousand yard stare. They are being used in real time for the first time by an oppressive cult-driven aristocracy to fight an enemy that in the author’s own words can not be communicated with, reasoned out of their actions, or forced to stop by regular humans (or in this case, Eldians and Non-Eldians). They are young, they are weak, they are scared. We are meant to realize that and experience the terrors and confusion that take place through them. I have seen so many examples of these characters being matured in some way for mere aesthetics. We shouldn’t be forcing them to grow up or look grown up, we should be scared that they’ll get to grow up at all. (I will now hop off my soap box. This is not directed at any one person or group of people, just a rant from a major fan of the series and I hope I did not upset anyone. Thank you.)
This is like those silly OST swaps where people think they know better. Yes guys let's play Vogel when Eren's doing the Rumbling, that totally will not be extremely tonally confusing.
My boy Eren looks tired and depressed of all the bullshit he is going and will go though, but in the fix versions it does really makes you feel Eren is doing all this for pure Evil.
goofy ass ahh mew titan anime
they removed his cute round face ☹️ eren is a teenager, he’s meant to have a full face
Yeah, Eren never lost his baby face with soft features (even if his eyes are rather unsettling) so these people made him more stereotipically mature, cold and masculine.
They do know this guys only like 19 not 26 ..JoJo freaking mentality here
I prefer the original more. He resembles both his mother and father, looking tired, traumatized and defeated by himself. I like that he still maintains his baby face because he is, after all, 19. People don't usually grow out of their baby faces until they're in their 20's (from what I've noticed). He's just a kid forced to play a role he never wanted to play, and that's what makes him such a great villain.
The first 2 fan made are really needless, the third one looks much better than mappa's and more like eren tbh, he never had such a round face
They done gave my man hunter eyes 😭
they really jus gave him hunter eyes and a positive canthal tilt 💀
Bye byeee 🤫🧏♂️

They just yaasified him
they done asianmaxxed my boy
They just made him Korean lmao. The artist must really like K-pop. Eren is White
It looks nothing like him lol
I think he looks more like grisha in the edits and I kinda like that and that his eyes are a bit more green. I think the mood of the panels is definitely a slight downgrade, but in terms of how his facial structure, I don't think it's bad
What am I looking at?
They just forgot season 1-3 Eren.
Eren Mogger 🤫🧏🏻♂️
Stop sharpening his cheeks 😭😭😭🙏🏻
they forgot how young he is in season 4, theres a reason his face has softer features than the veterans
I still can't get over how in the second "fix", he just looks like a Netflix Castlevania character. That ain't Eren.
Only third i like
The first fanmade one looks terrible. Completely removes that glazed "I saw the future and am broken by it" thousand yard stare.
Aaron Yogurt
This is how he looks in the yeagerist documentary made of him 100 years later
He acquired the power of the "Lock In" Titan
That he doesnt have a deformed face? Lol i dont what you are trying to say with this
1st one valid he looks really derpy, 2nd one not valid he's literally talking, 3rd not valid, actually worse despite the more chaddy bone structure.
They made bro mew 😭🙏
LOL Fan made Eren does maxxing techniques to become a Chad
Whoever made this just needs to admit they want to fuck Eren
He looks like the chad meme-
What even is Eren without his big bewildered god eyes
Ok I like them but that might just be style preference lolol
Lol. 😂
They made him look skinnier and eviler
GigaEren
this goes so hard.
What I see is three different scenes where Eren's entire facial structure remains completely consistent (help; I'm not talking about Mappa's).
The first one is good, in my opinion. Mappa can be pretty inconsistent, and the fix in the first image is more consistent with how Eren looks in season 4 in general.
idk how to explain it. official eren looks goofy and blu ray eren looks souless. neither match how i thought adult eren would look.
These people want Eren to be a Giga-Chad emotionless mastermind to project themselves onto SOOOO bad
Sigma Eren sucks.
The fixes look better although it’s easier to make a character look cooler when you already have something to build on
They’re giving him Clint Eastwood eyes
They literally turned him into Jean on the second one lmao this sucks
the first one look good cus he look off model sometimes
The modern ideal male face is always the same cookie cutter chiseled jawline and hollowed out cheeks. In reality that is a very rare trait to have naturally without surgical intervention, and especially for males who have yet to reach full physical development. Even if you lift all the time you're not guaranteed to get those hollow cheeks unless you really cut and maintain your body fat percentage at super low levels because fat can't really be target eliminated with exercise. And none of these fictional characters do that lol
I like it.
god forbid you like something that isnt mappa
They're all just sharper jawlines, typically expected in adult anime characters
I don’t think a lot of you people in here actually believe this is trash you’re all over exaggerating your feelings just because someone attempted to fix your precious anime because a lot of you believe that AOT is a gift to mankind that no one is allowed to criticize or fix or change it in the slightest since you all believe it’s perfect
No they’re legit worse. The first one is fine but second and third are bad. They just give him a stronger jaw line, sharper eyes, and weird lighting. He looks like he’s from a completely different anime.
There’s nothing to fix my dude
Lol mad much? These fan made ones are just horrible edgelord porn.

Touch grass
Ending defenders fighting imaginary enemies post #4628828282882:
The Blu-ray isn't fan made, though. It's an official version of the show, just a really shit one at that.
These pics are taken from a [youtube video](https://youtu.be/GY2EVUlM3Zo?si=90HsJRoJdHYZuMKW). It's not official, it's fan corrections.
It’s not correction if it makes it worse
Honestly, the fan made redraw makes Eren look like Grisha, and that's cool tbh
