As a resource for overseas fans of the series, we at @snknews are happy to be able to provide our fellow fans a look into the FINAL Manga Exhibition, which opens tomorrow (July 5th, 2019) in Japan and will run through September 8th, 2019. For those of us unable to make it to Japan to visit the event for ourselves, we hope this provides sufficient detail on the overall experience!

PART 5: “Manga Ending” Audio Area and Final Room

From the characters exhibit, you can proceed to the audio segment of the final scene!

The signs read: 

Come now…Listen closely. You can hear the sound of the end of the story…

Ahead lies a room with only voices, The audio alone is presented from the scene of the “Ending Story” that the author, Hajime Isayama, currently foresees. Please imagine the scene while tying together all the stories so far.

After moving through black curtains, you enter a dark room with the audio that is apparently the vision for the final scene. There are sounds of fire, of explosions, and of battle. People shout and cry in the distance. At the very end comes the sound of a number of ODM (3DMG) gear engaging (Editor’s Note: This seems to indicate the final scenes will still involve battle?). That’s about all there is to it: it’s a vision of the future that doesn’t get too far into spoiler territory. There aren’t even any voices (Note: As there were reports that one seiyuu may participate in this portion, it’s possible that they did not reveal any character audio for press preview attendees).

Update (July 5th, 2019): As we suspected, according to attendees on the first public day, the very last part of the audio has added Inoue Marina (Armin) saying, “EREN!”

The final room is a large white room absolutely covered in storyboards and original character design sketches. An interview with Isayama plays on a loop, in which he explains that he never gets rid of any of his storyboards and might even be buried with them (Although he’s not sure they’ll fit in his coffin). 

Update: The sketches of Porco, Falco, and Gabi reveal that they originally had different names:

Porco - Holst (ホルスト) Gaillard

Falco - Falco Bach (バッハ)

Gabi - Gabi Lübke (リュプケ)

Many thanks again to our Special Correspondents in Japan, Daniel & Caryn Lix, for contributing the great photos and overview of this exhibition! You can check out Caryn’s published and upcoming novels here.

 I write fanfiction because I love the characters and ships I write. I’m not a published author, nor am I trying to become one. I’m here because I got obsessed with a stupid tv show. That’s it. 

Kudos and/or comments fuel me more than you can imagine. 

Every day, I get a ‘You’ve got Kudos!’ email. Every day, I open it. I take note of which of my fics have been given kudos. I take note of the usernames I find there. If you’ve left kudos on one of my fics before, I’ll recognize you. I take a moment to appreciate your support. I feel validated and inspired after this. 

When someone comments on one of my fics for the first time, I go ‘Oh hey there, new friend. Welcome to my world.’

If you’ve commented on one of my fics more then once, I know you. I’ve checked out your profile, your works, your bookmarks. When I see your username, I feel like I’m meeting a friend. I’m like ‘This is the person who likes the same rarepair I do.’ - ‘This is the lover of fuff/smut/angst fics.’ I remember.

I read every comment I ever get, many of them more than once. I try to answer them all. I’m not always fast with that, but I promise you, I appreciate the hell out of your feedback. Sometimes people ask me why I’m grinning so dumbly down at my phone, and many times it’s because I just got a new comment. You’re making my day with this. 

Sometimes I get a comment on a WIP I haven’t updated in a while, and in most cases, it motivates me to get the next chapter out. You’re reminding me why I started writing this story. You’re making me want to finish it. 

When I feel down and unable to write, I go back to the comments on stories that mean a lot to me personally. They give me new life. I treasure them. You have no idea how long they stick with me. 

My ask box is always open. You want to express an opinion on my writing anonymously? You have a prompt, an idea, a wish? You probably don’t know how easy I am to persuade to write something. Honestly, try it. 

No fic is too old to comment on it. Never. 

If you’re too shy to leave a comment, you are valid. I’m happy to have you as a reader. I’m a crazy fangirl like you. I’m dying to talk to you. If you can’t, that’s perfectly fine though. 

If you don’t know what to comment, believe me when I say that it doesn’t matter as long as it isn’t rude. You’re too tired to leave a proper comment? I read fics at 2am too my friend, I understand. You don’t know how to put your thoughts into words? You can literally leave me a HI and I’ll be happy about it. 

If you’re too shy to comment in English because you’re not a native speaker, you’re valid. You’re good enough to read fics in this language, you can be proud of that. I know how to use a translator. You may comment in whatever language you want to. I’m not a native speaker either, I’ve long stopped trying to sound like one. I take no shame in that. 

If you have ever taken time out of your day to read one of my stories, I appreciate you so much. If you have ever hit the kudos button on one of my stories, I appreciate you so much. If you have ever written me a comment, shared your genuine feelings about my writing with me, you are responsible for a big, stupid smile on my face and a significant bit of motivation.
