I'm much happier with AoT's anime ending.
The eighty percent and the subsequent fucked up bonding sequence *might* be my fave part of the ending now.
Though I think Armin's talk with Zeke and Mikasa killing Eren might be above that.
It's that narmy, unintentionally funny stuff that might be the most memorable element of AoT, but I still cried at Armin's speech to Zeke.
The framing is done *so much better* it's not even funny.
The story still treats Historia like complete shit, the production values kind of fall apart by the end and the music choices are super strange (while adding to the uneasy part to it), but I love the gross, discordant nature of the entirety of the last 30 minutes that I didn't really feel with the manga.
The shell is covered in blood and Eren and Armin are sitting inside the blood of the fallen.
I think the framing really couldn't be more clear.
And by the end Mikasa is crying not just because she misses Eren, but also because all of the shit he put them through. And the scene on the ship is much more bitter.
Because of the extended scene with Eren and Armin, everything else basically gains a layer or two.
They cared for Eren, but they are also exhausted and really frustrated/angry with the shit he pulled and put on them and you really see the exhaustion here, through the wonky art.
So you have that triumphant music as a sign of an ending, but it's like a wierd twisted version of a generic happy anime ending.
It's so funny. And while it also feels super wierd and amatuerish, still perhaps confused, I think I kind of can't see AoT having a much different send-off.
Let it be messy and stupid and confused like all of its messy and stupid and confused characters.
And I can love it like that without dismissing any of the problems I have with it.
In the end Eren didn't break the cycle because the tree showed up again, so I think we'll in for a sequel in 10 or 20 years.
I think Eren replaced Ymir in the Paths because Mikasa didn't have the heart to completely get rid of his body. The point is that everyone was too nice.
But the last bit is pure thematic conjucture.
I hated the manga ending not because I thought it was awful, but because it felt so insecure and confused. Because it had both really good and really bad stuff in it.
This at least alleviated kind of a massive part of that issue for me. Not completely, but I truly think it's much better than the manga in a fairly significant way?
What can I say, I like messes. Intentional or otherwise.

Something I like about this addiction of the anime ver,is that Levi as a child didn't have a easy chilhood and in some way he wants to make others childs lifes a little bit easy and this tiny act giving them candys is his way of cares about them
