    The translation of the middle German speaking part hits way different during season 4:(roughly)
    “The attack of the titans: the boy of yore will soon take up the sword. One who despairs in his own helplessness cannot change the course of fate, but the boy of yore will soon take up the dark sword. Hate and anger are a double edged blade, and the day is coming when he will bear his fangs against the world”

    One cool bit that you'll only really hear if you get both songs back to back: 12:36 That weird "windy" sound effect that builds and gets cut at the _very_ end of this video (it's supposed to be a distant crowd cheering) actually rolls STRAIGHT into the 2nd opening for AOT.
    If you get both full versions back to back, the cheering crescendos and transitions directly into the start of the 2nd opening so when you're listening to them on the album, it's one smooth transition without pause.
    Hope to see your breakdown on the second song.

    Their "Shingeki no Kiseki" album is amazing, I don't know why it isn't more famous. It's a bunch of songs inspired by Attack on Titan like the ones that ended up on the anime. Revo (the composer and singer) is a huge fan of the manga and a lot of this album is about stuff that hadn't happened in the anime yet at the time it came out (before season 3), it has the full openings as well but they were remade for this so there are a few differences. One of the things I like most about their songs is the repeating motifs and references to each other throughout all songs, and this album is full of them.

  • @hielokasama
    @hielokasama Год назад +17

    The artist Revo has two bands, sound horizon and linked horizon. His personal band, sound horizon has his original works and plays out like musicals where each song in the album tells a larger story. Some of his concerts are on RUclips.

    Funny enough, there's a video out there from Linked Horizon, where they explain that all these complex things thrown in there were actually just random stuff that they were coming up with and ended up sounding cool so they added them in. It's nice to break down everything that's going on but, come on now, the fact that these guys are just toying around and come up with stuff like this with little organization and maybe not planning ahead at all, is just genius. Like kids playing with lego and coming up with figures, is pretty much what linked horizon does.

    Revo is an incredible composer and this song, while perhaps his most well known, is only the tip of the iceberg. In addition to his Linked Horizon songs for Attack on Titan (which there are more of than just the openings and ending), he made the soundtracks of the video game Bravely Default and its sequel Bravely Default II, and also wrote idol group Momorio Clover Z's first opening song for the Sailor Moon reboot anime. He also has his own story music project named Sound Horizon which has has a massive discography spanning 20 years, and a new release coming out this spring. That's not even getting into his image albums, early visual novel soundtracks, collaboration works with artists like Yuki Kajiura and Haruka Shimotsuki, and so on... oh man, I could spend hours talking about everything he's done.

    I'm so excited you're analyzing these in full!! I hope you continue to do so with all the openings, especially the Linked Horizon ones! I have no idea if it's intentional or them calling back to themselves, but there are parts of each that feel like they're forming an entire musical movement with them. For example, at 6:36 there's a short section that starts to sound a lot like Sasageyo (opening 3), not completely but in a way that I'd almost say was reminiscent if this didn't come first. Really tickles my music brain!

    I feel like people have mentioned this before in earlier AOT videos, but I think it would be so awesome to have you revisit songs you've heard before (ex. YOUSEEBIGGIRL) but talk about how much more impactful they feel/felt when hearing them in the show, or how differently those songs hit now that you've watched the scenes they were paired with

I appreciate all the knowledge and information too but seeing someone truly enjoy listening to the songs you dearly love, and that mean something to you, is the best part of this. Its even better cause you watched AOT and can truly experience what the music/song is supposed to mean and convey.

    i highly HIGHLY recommend doing full analyses of the other attack on titan linked horizon songs. they all have references to each other in really cool and unique ways, almost as if they're all connected as one massive song, or they're all the same song rewritten. it's really cool and crazy stuff, you'll listen to one song and suddenly you're listening to a previous one, or even sometimes a future one somehow, linked horizon is crazy.

    hey tony, nice video today. I just wanted to put some information about all this.
    if you're going to make the full version of all attack on titan openings, know that every attack on titan song on which the band linked horizon worked, the full versions have motifs of all previous songs.
    for example in the full version of opening 2, there will be a snippet of music that sounds similar to opening 1.
    opening 3 will have excerpts that will resemble opening 1 and 2, and the other openings will follow the same logic.
    including ending 4, from season 3, the only ending in which the band linked horizon is, it also has this and part of its motif can be heard in the full song of opening 5, along with excerpts of all the other songs played by this one band.

    Listening to an OP all the way through is always a pretty wild experience - I once spent an afternoon going through all the full versions of the Jojo OPs, and some of them get real wild in the midsections. It's easy to sometimes miss the best parts that get cut out of the anime edits - like the soaring Beatlesish orchestral part of Kick Back that didn't make the cut for Chainsaw Man's opening.

    Glad to hear AOT has really gotten to you in such a way

    REVO (composer) previous project - Sound horizon - is basically musical theatre. Each album is whole story with tons of guest artists and background narrator. It make way more sense in his old format when you need to convey story part in sound only... In AoT openings.. i don't know. While it is Revo being Revo, i still would pretty much prefer to have clean full version of songs may be as addition to this version.
    But well. At least we got official Epica covers!
