It's also not just a musical reference to OP1 but the lyrics themselves are word for word the quote of Armin, "That day humanity remembered etc etc." that the show starts with!
@@Nigels_Wrld If you listen to OP 2 you'll hear a distinct reference to OP 1 as well, and OP 5 (which is also by Linked Horizon, but tends to be pretty underplayed compared to the rest) has a specific part that references the first three OPs. In fact, all the songs from this album are "linked".
The thing I love about music is how undeniably universal of a language it is. You don't have to have a single credit of any type of musical education or technical knowledge to know when something sounds incredible. The education only makes it sweeter to be able to articulate and understand what makes something so good.
The coolest thing about the Linked Horizon AOT openings is that in the full versions, OP2 directly quotes OP1 and OP3 directly quotes OP1 and 2 and OP 5 is based off the melody of OP1, tying them all into each other as Attack on Titan
Lol this is why I always hope whenever people react to music, especially anime ost, they react to the full version because a lot of good stuff gets cut in order to bring it down to a minute thirty.
14:30 I'm a bit late, but it's actually a heartbit, "Shinzou wo Sasageyo" basically means "devote your heart". These guys surely put a lot of effort in their music.
Over time, the horse neighs have come to be one of my favorite parts of the drum solo - it’s almost like a diagetic background chorus, and it gets me HYPE Great analysis as always, I like how you frequently pause and rewind to inform and refine your feedback!
I love how you can always find little parts of previous AOT songs by Linked Horizon as you listen to them in sequential order and eventually we get that section with all of linked horizons songs in the second opening for season 3: shoukei to shikabane no michi.
Lol ikr there's horse, I laughed when listened to it at the first time. So unique, and it got sound of people saluting too, really fit to be a national anthem. This full version make me love this songs since the short ver didn't get me hooked. OP2 ('Jiyuu no Tsubasa') is the most national anthem for me, love it so much since the first listen. And full ver makes me love it more. Can't wait for your reaction to it!
Also what you said at 14:42 with the heart beat, pretty on par with the lyrical analysis. “Shinzo wo sasageyo” loosely translates to “dedicate/give your heart”
I've listened to this song so many times and have never noticed the horse accompanist, made me laugh out loud. Once you pointed it out, it was clear as day, I wish I had a well trained ear like that.
The instrumental section is super cool. The composer is giving several players their own short solo to showcase them individually instead of just the vocalist.
I've been watching Anime ever since childhood and I can't think of a single Anime series opening that can surpass the greatness of Linked Horizon's Attack on Titan Openings..these guys are legends.
Revo is an incredibly talented composer, at this point he already had a lot of experience but even his really early stuff, while less complex, is already very good. Also, everyone's already pointing it out but you did skip the actual OP2 so I hope you'll react to it too - the full version of that song also has lots of cool stuff happening
I'm hoping you catch this, but this is actually opening 3. (Season 2's opening - opening 2 is the 2nd part of season 1) Anyway, great video - can't wait for you to listen to the 2nd opening fully. :)
tony, one piece of information i would like you to know. all songs of the band Linked Horizon that are part of Attack on Titan are connected with each other. the next song always carries a motif from the previous one. that is, in Opening 5, it will have a part that reminds the music of opening 1,2,3, and ending 4 that they sing. yes, there is an ending in the middle of it all. so before you make opening 5 complete, make a video of ending 4 too. it would be cool not to break this music cycle to honor the songs from the previous openings. But that's up to you, i Just want it to give this info.
This song actual has reflections of the first and second OP. And to piggyback off your comment, this trend funnels toward the end themes Linked Horizon does as well
This is one of the songs I’ve been waiting to see this beautiful man’s reaction too, if I remember right it’s got that one part that consistently gives me an ear gasm
thank you, all these years and never noticed the horses, that is an insightful view of a pro. I really like your reactions, i wish the are more full songs and not just tv version
Мне так нравится, что в припеве на третьем "sasageyo, sasageyo, shinzou wo sasageyo" барабаны играют в ритм скачущей лошади, тыгыдык тыгыдык тыгыдык тыгыдык, очень круто) Спасибо за видео✨
Is a piece like this recorded and put together in parts (the band is one recording and the orchestra instruments another, for example) or is everyone just jammed into one giant room? I can’t even imagine what it would take to have everyone perform this live lol. That would be soooo cool to see
I never actually noticed the horses 😂😂 I love the way you breakdown the song unlike other people who make reaction videos. I recommend reacting to the endings too, they're good - particularly Red Swan (one of my favourite AOT endings)
When I think of what it would be like to score music, my mental analogy is writing lyrics for five plus songs that are to be sung simultaneously each in a different language.
you should do opening 5 next from season 3 part 2. the full version of the song is amazing its sad that its completely cut from the tv version. opening 5 in my opinion is by far my favorite Aot opening. op 5 is Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi by Linked Horizon
Can't wait for the rest of the AOT songs. I want to see your reaction to a different song by the same composer, Revo. "Uroboros, the Serpent That Devours the Horizon" it's from the game Bravely Default and is another phenomenal piece.
Love your interpretations of the music. I know you mainly take recommendations from Patreon, but I suggest looking at some music from Vickablanka. I love his music (especially Black Catcher, one of my favorite songs 😊). Also highly recommend looking at some more ALI, really interesting band to listen to, and see all of their inspirations. Keep it up, love the videos ❤
I'm sure you'd love to listen to Revo's other band (Sound Horizon), there are great music's and some of Attack on Titan songs are linked to SH songs, so it brings something unique to the experience
Man you need listen linked horizon live version singing aot op, that was really on fire because not only the music but you can see someone who play all of this instrument, that is really dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man I love your channel! As a fellow band, drum corps, and anime geek about to graduate high school(I’m actually marching crown this year😳), IM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS CHANNEL Bluecoats tho? Cmon man you can do better than that
As a german, everytime they speak some german in their songs I have goosebumbs. He's pronouncing it so so good. Idk anything about the man who speaks this sequences but it sounds like it would be his first language. Ngl

This is actually OP3, OP2 is the second OP for Season 1, this is the Season 2 OP
How are we gonna explain that like opening 8 is like the 4th part but half of the last final quarter of the *maybe*¨final last ending part?
It got confusing on numbers 😅 I'll get the previous one soon
@@WildspeakerYT why did you make it more confusing than it needs to be 😂 the simple answer is that there is no opening 8
@@foggymossman there will be tho
Edit: nvm there won't be :(
(maybe in the last episode tho?! 🙏🙏🙏)
Imagine when he discorver that he Will react the the Opening 1 of part 3 of Season 4 of attack on titan
8:29 God that melodic callback to OP2 still hits every single time!
Not to mention the ref to OP1 IN 13:00
dude ive never noticed that omg thats insane music this why op3 is goated

and also they always added REQUIEM after the linked lyric

Good
The coolest thing about the Linked Horizon AOT openings is that in the full versions, OP2 directly quotes OP1 and OP3 directly quotes OP1 and 2 and OP 5 is based off the melody of OP1, tying them all into each other as Attack on Titan
Its especially noticeable in some parts and it just gives me chills every time I hear them linking together almost as 1 big song
LOOK AT THAT MAGNIFICENT UNCONSCIOUS SCOUT POSE AT 8:40 .
SHINZOU WO SASAGEYO! ✊
this song is just that crazy at affecting the listener :O

Somehow, after all the times I've listened to this on repeat, I never caught the horse neighs in the background. That's crazy!
HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THE HORSE NOISE UNTIL NOW??
Haha 🐎
10:21 i'm pretty sure this is a bass solo. You can see it in the version where they play it live.
Lol ikr there's horse, I laughed when listened to it at the first time. So unique, and it got sound of people saluting too, really fit to be a national anthem. This full version make me love this songs since the short ver didn't get me hooked.
OP2 ('Jiyuu no Tsubasa') is the most national anthem for me, love it so much since the first listen. And full ver makes me love it more.
Can't wait for your reaction to it!
It is a TRAGEDY that so much of this song is cut from the opening in the show
Tony: *hears one of the most godly kickass layered drum solos*
Also Tony: is that a horse?!
Of all the opening songs for AOT, this is my favorite. When I hear this song in the live video of Linked Horizon, I give my heart.
Why does everyone ignore the second one???😭😭😭 Jiyuu no Tsubasa is an underrated masterpiece I swear ;_;
Yeah
It wasn't intentional. It's the naming style. Don't worry, I'll do it
Love how the full song has melody flashbacks to OP1 and OP2
Dude, just wait until you see the live concert for this song. OUTSTANDING

It is sasageyo
@@maninthespace well he skip the opening 2, cause sasageyo is opening 3
Your in luck! You don't have to wait 😀👍
@@Rscreen I thought this would be Jiyuu no Tsubasa😅
The instrumental section is super cool. The composer is giving several players their own short solo to showcase them individually instead of just the vocalist.
you should do the reaction at the live concert!
I'm excited for that also 🤟
I've been watching Anime ever since childhood and I can't think of a single Anime series opening that can surpass the greatness of Linked Horizon's Attack on Titan Openings..these guys are legends.
Couldn't agree more
I'd throw a few competitors: Berserk Golden Age Intro, Madoka Magica ED Umineko / Higurashi OP, Fate Zero OP2.
AoT is aweome though.
Revo is an incredibly talented composer, at this point he already had a lot of experience but even his really early stuff, while less complex, is already very good.
Also, everyone's already pointing it out but you did skip the actual OP2 so I hope you'll react to it too - the full version of that song also has lots of cool stuff happening
I'll go back for it for sure. Ooooops 😅👀
I'm hoping you catch this, but this is actually opening 3. (Season 2's opening - opening 2 is the 2nd part of season 1)
Anyway, great video - can't wait for you to listen to the 2nd opening fully. :)
I'll definitely do the actual op 2 soon. I love this music
This version is sickkkk🔥🔥 all the modulations and crazy instrumentation towards the end b4 dropping back into the main motif is so nice
tony, one piece of information i would like you to know.
all songs of the band Linked Horizon that are part of Attack on Titan are connected with each other.
the next song always carries a motif from the previous one.
that is, in Opening 5, it will have a part that reminds the music of opening 1,2,3, and ending 4 that they sing.

the live version of this is absurdly great
you might wanna check that (on your own time or otherwise)
its worth it
Yeeeey, I'm so happy you did this one!! this is my favourate AOT opening :D
Okay i think we can all agree its FINALLY time for you to react to Unravel (Tokyo Ghoul OP) full version. I need it desperately.
It took me WAY too long to realize this was OP 3
Lol yea, imagine how I felt reading comments 😅😅😅😅

You have to see their live performances!
there's no bad AOT op
Absolute facts!
fact!
personally rumbling kinda eh
@@TheWreckerOG ngl it's my fav

You should watch the live version too. It's so good
There is a live performance of this song and I totally love it, recommend it
This song should be the National Anthem of Anime.
listening to the full version of Jiyuu No Tsubasa is a MUST now omg!
I don't know if anyone has asked this before but you should check out the full version of Rightfully, it's the Goblin Slayer opening
Yh goblin slayer has some really good music
LOVE the callback to the 1st Opening at the end!
OMG THIS IS SO GOOD
A really good and rich music is "salt, pepper, birds, and the thought police" from Mili
It still blows my mind that Revo, the main singer is also the orchestrator or the songwriter
You should check the the live performance
Shinzo wo Sasageyo is definitely my favorite Attack on Titan opening theme.
I seriously recommend reacting to the live version of Op 1-3 that's what I call a show.
Amazing reaction as always! I would love to see you react to the live version 🤩
You can check out 'Ni Kagetsu Go no Kimi E' by Linked horizon, song which was in concept album of AOT
You dropped this 👑 king
The Live version of this song is so freakin cool too :)
Is a piece like this recorded and put together in parts (the band is one recording and the orchestra instruments another, for example) or is everyone just jammed into one giant room? I can’t even imagine what it would take to have everyone perform this live lol. That would be soooo cool to see
its crazy how all the Linked Horizon openings could fit Season 4 so well.
“not metal the genre, like metal the actually substance” 😂 favorite line
The OG Linked Horizon Songs for Attack on Titan are so fucking good, glad you enjoy it as much as we do
How did I never hear the horse sound in this song until now!? I've listened to this song over 200 times
The first time i heard the solos i had chills but the first time i heard the VIOLIN SOLO i cried, like full on sobbing it was so good
This music is so good
I never actually noticed the horses 😂😂 I love the way you breakdown the song unlike other people who make reaction videos.
I recommend reacting to the endings too, they're good - particularly Red Swan (one of my favourite AOT endings)
ah yes red swan the ending 💀
@@p7453-n2t shhhhhh 😶
you really need to do all the full openings and endings!!
also almost all of them are connected, lyrics and melodies keep coming back
When I think of what it would be like to score music, my mental analogy is writing lyrics for five plus songs that are to be sung simultaneously each in a different language.
There's a live version of this song, u should definitely see that the sounds are much clearer
you really should give the live concert of that song a watch
you should do opening 5 next from season 3 part 2. the full version of the song is amazing its sad that its completely cut from the tv version. opening 5 in my opinion is by far my favorite Aot opening. op 5 is Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi by Linked Horizon
loving your musical analysis so far, would like to know in which episode of the series are you so far
Hahaha it does hit different.
The one that hits me the most different is the ending for the third season
If you didn't notice, Linked Horizon adds sound effects unique to the TV size versions of the openings.
Once you get to the 6th and 7th installment of the opening, EVERYTHING CHANGES. The complete ones are truly changing, in a good way
Only you can make every second take 3 second! 6--->18min. Nice!
Watching your reaction makes me want to go rewatch all of AOT again lol
Can't wait for the rest of the AOT songs.
I want to see your reaction to a different song by the same composer, Revo. "Uroboros, the Serpent That Devours the Horizon" it's from the game Bravely Default and is another phenomenal piece.
I hope you react to full versions of EDs as well! Thanks
Please watch the live version of this song 🙏🏻 it’s crazy listening and watching all the musicians live!

There's also a live version of it
I was wondering if you have watched the live concert of that opening... because we want to know how will you react to that live version
This is like the national anthem of Aot fans.
I'm sure you'd love to listen to Revo's other band (Sound Horizon), there are great music's and some of Attack on Titan songs are linked to SH songs, so it brings something unique to the experience
You should to watch this live performance it’s amazing
STILL get goosebumps
you know it's top tier when there are horses 😂😂
Such a groovy experience
You should react to the second opening full too. For me the real masterpiece
I don't think I've ever heard so many key changes in one song.
Can't wait!!!
You should really listen to the full version of the forth opening, it's a banger.
Man you need listen linked horizon live version singing aot op, that was really on fire because not only the music but you can see someone who play all of this instrument, that is really dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best shit I’ve ever had on a toilet
AOT is not an anime, it’s a feeling and a philosophy

Ah, Shinzou wo Sasageyo is actually op 3.
We officially made a drummer a legit anime lover

The man is Sascha, and he's half-german. He's a narrator and commenter in Japan.
@@wasabiilaurant2266 that makes sense. His pronounciation was just so on point like everytime
Really? I heard the opposite, I don't know German so I don't know
@@Juan_Laurino The singer Revo hasn't a good pronounciation. But the other one's really good. The one who speaks right at the beginning of the song

Definitely will. I like them quite a bit
