Discussions of Attack on Titan have practically stopped these days.
They were fueled by fan theories — which are hard to come up with now that the manga has ended.
Fans have moved on to other series.
It feels like Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) practically disappeared from everyone’s mind as soon as it ended. Despite it being the #1 most popular anime on MyAnimeList (well, the first season), it feels that by now, hardly anyone cares about it in the first place.
There are many reasons why exactly Attack on Titan fell off so hard. It’s not just about the series’ quality: yes, the ending was controversial, but many people didn’t think it was that bad — in fact, the specials are still one of the highest scoring entries on the aforementioned MAL.
However, there’s just not much to talk about Attack on Titan anymore — that’s why no one cares.
Discussions Were Fueled by Fan Theories
Since Attack on Titan ended, the number of online discussions has been continuously dwindling. That doesn’t even have much to do with the ending: in fact, the discussions about it (more specifically, whether it was good or not) has kept the discussions alive for a while.
It’s the precise fact that it ended that makes it so hard to discuss these days. Despite being initially an action series, Attack on Titan’s discussions relied on crazy plot twists and fan theories — the mystery aspect of the story is by far the best one.
Now, the series ended, and fan theories are all either confirmed or debunked. There’s nothing else to be speculating about — anything not directly confirmed was probably not intended to be given an answer. There are still questions, but, since Isayama finished the series, it’s safe to assume he didn’t think of any answers to them.

There’s Nothing Else Left to Discuss
You can’t even talk much about the characters. Most of their plot lines have been finished, and, as in the case above, there’s nothing to speculate about. The recently released Bad Boy manga was a treat to Levi fans, but if you aren’t one, you’re out of luck.
In the end, the current anime-related online discussions heavily center around currently releasing anime and manga content. Once the series is over, fans would jump onto something else — because new chapters and episodes weekly (or even monthly) consistently fuel the discussion.
So, is Attack on Titan irrelevant now? Well, if you want to discuss it, potentially — only the most dedicated fans care about it. Still, it doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant: it’s an essential watch for anime fans, and an important milestone for the industry itself.
That’s why no one seems to care about it anymore.
