The Breakdown
- Levi erased; original Shikishima merges Levi/Reiner/Zeke roles
- Eren/Mikasa motivations rewritten, Eren starts terrified
- Practical Titan suits praised, but story diverges wildly
- Setting Japan-ified, nine Titan types reduced to two
- Author-approved changes still produced divisive mess (47% RT)

Watch Instead
Skip it. Watch the anime instead — source thesis intact, no character mergers.
