I've been reading and watching the final chapters and season of Attack on Titan.
It was one of the first anime I ever watched, and has easily cemented itself as one of the best of the medium in my mind. The manga lays down a masterfully-crafted tale and world full to the brim with foreshadowing, and the anime adaptation and pacing have consistently been stellar.
Episodes of the final season have been dropping weekly with the manga yet to conclude - even though this is the "final" season, from the two-chapter-an-episode average, there's likely to be a second part or End of Evangelion style movie. The manga has two chapters and two months remaining and it's still unclear how it will end. In the mean time, the shitposting going on at /r/titanfolk has been absolutely top notch.spoilers
I'm reading the Hunter x Hunter manga. It's really quite good! And the differences from the anime are quite interesting.
This may be controversial, but I wonder if the Chimera Ant arc is going to be as much of a slog to read as it was to watch. Quite good, but oh so incredibly long.
