I heard that the creator of the manga was so dirt poor that after the series took off like a rocket and the money was rolling into his account in droves his bank called him asking if he was laundering money or something
@Adept Marketing Solutions Game of Throne was already that popular in 2008-2009? Season one came out in 2011. The books were popular, but not THAT popular.
No but the core of the story was there by 2008 amd 2009. Trust me. The people into game of thrones before the tv show was released were rabid back in the mid to late 2000's. It just wasn't mainstream yet, and the Walking Dead comics were established before then too, which I think influenced the art style to a degree
He deserves it. All of it
@Adept Marketing Solutions That is wrong Isayama has stated himself that he had this kind of story in his mind since he was 15 y/o and was working on it way before its 2009 debute.
@Adept Marketing Solutions that's just blatant lie, stop spreading misinformation
I never thought you'd do Attack On Titan, this is an unexpected but pleasant surprise
He said last week he was doing it
The people asked and I have delivered!
He's being saying he would
Cut the kid some slack, he might be new to the channel or something
Gordon Ramsay ah no. Guy got here after 20 mins after they uploaded the vid. Hes obviously subscribed to the channel
*So basically It's The Pigs Fault if they just stay in their places none of this would have happened*
The pig is the catalyst.
The pig is humanity, the humans are titans. It's all about food and perspective. You cannot blame the pig for trying to live.
Just like hitler being rejected from art school
@@matthewmadayag2426 omg xD
Matthew Madayag LMAO
Levi going God mode gives me chills everytime.
It is for you dear stranger
Gingle bels
Reiner smells
Annie ran away
Armin cries
Marcon dies
Levi all the way.
The walls are made to prevent titans from levi
He flopped tho he let zeke get away
@@dancingdeamon3032 that was EPIC
What makes this story even more convoluted that "Eldia" is actually Africa upside down, and that "Paradise Island" is Madagascar.
I always thought it resembled Madagascar.
It's not convoluted attack on titan doesn't take place in our world
There's so much symbolism in AOT that for the average viewer it would pass over their heads. From the two main areas Elida and Marley resembling Africa and Madagascar the cradle of all civilisation to the enslaved marleyans resembling Jews in the 40s to the Wldians oppressing the Jews being German and even the 3 areas Maria, Rose and Shina resembling Atlantis and its 3 walls in mythology
@@ifeanyiozoh7474 That may end up being true, but the world being designed in that way does raise a lot of questions. You can't deny their's a resemblance.
@Arruda You mean besides the fact that he literally took a map of africa and turned it upside down.
Honestly AOT is a crazy manga and it switches genre with each arc. Sometimes it's horror, sometimes it's militant, sometimes it's battle, it's a crazy ride that unfortunately not everyone enjoys. One of my friends loved the first season, but it switched focus from titans to humans and they lost interest and didn't really come back.
That is what makes attack on Titan great imo. It shows every aspect of what a civilization being purged with Titans would do.
@Upcycle Shoes you might not like season 2 as season 1, but trust me s3 is fucking great, and when s4 comes out ( this fall- maybe later because of corona) it will be the best season you've ever seen
I thought the switch was really smart
I think it’s because once the mystery of the titans is revealed a lot of people feel either content or disappointed in the origin of the titan
That's exactly what happened to me. Loved the first season, but when it changed the story arch to this confusing founding titan other nation stuff vs humans against titans, I lost interest.
This lore and story it almost impossible to explain in such a short amount of time, and despite me having to go back once or twice to understand, he does remarkable job of explaining the lore of the titans. Amazing
You should read the manga :)
Eh, he still some very vital information wrong
if ymir died at 13 years does this mean the titan curse of death at 13 years is a myth? she didnt die of old age she died because of murder
I think the curse is simply the result of Ymir dying 13 years after getting the founding titan and has nothing to with the manner in which she died. Plus we see Both Eren Kruger and Uri Reiss physically worn down and nearing the point of death themselves after having their titans for that time. Hence why they both pass their titans on to someone they trusted.
13 years counted after she became Titan Shifter. That was after Reiner group came into Paradis Island. Which means, Reiner, Berthold and Annie are older Titan Shifter than her.
Wait does that mean if a "Random" Eldian baby get power Transfer after one of the shifter dies they'll only live for until 13? Damn, that sucks balls....
The fact that she was murdered after 13 years IS THE REASON that the Curse of Ymir exists.
Regardless if he was murdered the premise of the curse is she died 13 years after aquiring the power of the 9 titan hence the there is still a curse .you could see it with eren Kruger after he turns back into a human he wipes blood at his mouth
Manga readers be like: "We are in the endgame now".
oh, btw manga release date got pushed to June.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Why do we have to suffer like this. Damn you COVID!!!
Hopefully it's still set for June
If you're talking about Volume 30, I have it
Just when I thought 2020 couldn't get any worse.
@@29jemo Berserk fans says hi.
Ymir's backstory is the most heart breaking piece of manga i have ever read. it read it many months ago and still vividly remember every single panel of her story. its so traumatizing, visceral and real. It makes me even sadder to realize actual real life slaves back in history had it 100x worse and their stories are never even known.
It's a long story
You havent read berserk or gantz yet, i presumed.
@@vanillathesixth gantz is a little different I've read the whole manga
@@vanillathesixth the only sad thing about gantz is the horrible ending
Until a *Parasite* transformed her into the first Titan
One of the greatest shows ever created.
Attack on Titan is one of my favourite show
It's the only anime I watch and I really like it.
With THAT story? Pass. Fucking magic cannibalism powers? Arbitrary lifespan limits?
I had NO idea that was the explanation behind the titans, and now I know it, I'm not interested in the franchise anymore.
Just a quick add, it not particularly the consumption of a person holding a titan power, but to ingestion of their spinal fluid that gives a mindless titan the ability to revert back into a conscious being. this being the case when Ymir we know ate Marcel and got the Jaw Titan ability, while the Santa titan in the beginning was not able to do so since it ate Eren whole (besides his arm).
He didn't even eat the arm. Just severed it
So could you in theory take a big cup of spinal fluid and create multiple of that titan
I swear to god every attack in titan analysis starts with that scene where levi chops off the beast titan into bits
Fun fact in real life the bigger the organism the more heat it needs to release that's why elephants have so little hair.
In AOT the bigger the titan the hotter they become.
That's why the colossal titan has no skin and gives off so much heat, he's like a walking nuke.
Rod Reiss titan is 120 meters, he was so hot that the trees next to him cached on fire in a instant.
I love it when fiction uses real world science.
someone corrected me in the comments that the reason why elephants have so little hair is because they live in hot zones, thank you!
Stardust crusader. Yeah but the elephants live in a hot zone, thats the main reason for the relative hairlessnes.Mammuts were bigger and they had a thick hair cover due to the climate.
Tell that to the beast Titan
@@Raccon_Detective. He got skin tho.
beast titan? that's some hairy mofo
You don't know how to spell release?
Drinking game: take a shot every time Niyat says Titan. You’ll die, but it’ll be a good way to go.
I’m waiting
A delicious way to go

How anyone could think AoT is shallow baffles me
I think the Chimera Ants from from HunterxHunter would make for an interesting video
The fact that this was just 1 colony that the humans dealt with is scary. They came from the black continent so more are definitely out there.
And as strong as they were, when hearing about other creatures from the Dark Continent, the ants could have been weaklings in comparison.
@@silverthehero1295 very true. I hope Togashi seeks assistance to continue his story like Toriyama did with Toyotaro.
Ayyy ayyy hahahah yeah
Very true
Yes, please do more about Atack on titan.This series is a masterpiece.
@Thelastmemelord Lol you being a serious? name a series that has genius storytelling with amazing animation & sound
BiggestBullsFan Full Metal Alchemist Brother hood has just that. With that being said, Attack on Titan AND FMAB are both masterpieces of their own
BiggestBullsFan check out "monster", it is my second favorite after Aot
@@ukimenustah26 yeah i've seen the first couple of episodes and it is pretty great. just wished it had updated animation
@Thelastmemelord Lol >pepe dp
>Calls himself memelord
Sure bud, we'll take your word for it
Correction Zeke is Eren's half brother
@Thelastmemelord Lol dont they have the same biological dad?
Brother from another mother
@Thelastmemelord Lol weeb you got it wrong
@Thelastmemelord Lol it's half brother idiot.
Doesn't matter at the point it's at now
It’s really incredible to me they took such a simple subject and turned it into something so complex and diverse. And in only a few seasons. Great show I was really surprised by it
Eren: (hatful glare) "I'll kill them... I'LL KILL THEM ALL!!!"
Now: "I'll kill them all EXCEPT the Titan."
@@hansbloodsmith now that's what we call "Character Development" and *"Griffith Moment"* 😂
Realise that what he said was just perfect game
It's sad how some people won't give this series a shot just because it's a Japanese Anime, it's like there is some stigma associated with watching anime.
Yeah this anime is a work of art
Yeah it's because 90% is really really bad. AOT is an outlier in this genre and it's a masterpiece
I even convinced my boyfriend to watch this series and he never watches anime but he LOVED this one
you have cringe cosplayers and fans to thank for the stigma...
@@AA-ed6ek give me a recommendation that is of the same quality? brilliant storytelling with phenomenal animation & ost
The manga got very complicated after Eren found the truth of the world. I had to read it twice to fully understand the manga.
I think the "Rules" of the titan powers create a PERFECT situation to cause drama and tension in the series. Sure the powers are OP but with the 13 year curse, the power requires you to basically FORCE someone to become a next titan shifter which is a death sentence, because even if you DON'T, the powers go to someone else, and in a war you can just trust some rando person with the power because that person MIGHT BE YOUR ENEMY. The second being the royal family being the only ones who can access the full power of the founding titan, because then you end up forcing people to have children to continue the bloodline and will then end up sacrificing them all to make sure somone retains the power, the the only way "out" of this cycle is possibly a "Destroy the world" button in the form of the Rumbling.
First anime on this channel! :D
hopefully not the last
Bcs there is so many weird creature that can be explained, like Kabane from Iron Fortress of Kabaneri.
I was actually dissapointed with the plot at the end of season 3 or 4 idk netflix confuses me, Who knew they were the enemy all along and the titans were just humans
@@doges_6864 it was confirmed that Titans were just humans early in season 2
@@doges_6864 pretty sure you know by now, but it was hinted in season2. So it's not that surprising
I made the mistake of reading parts of the manga before the end of the anime and I have no clue what's going on anymore lmao
I’ve had the whole thing concisely explained to me and I’m STILL confused
It's a very high IQ series
Hoid's Homie a good story doesn’t need to be high iq.
@@exaltedgrind4729 It was a joke. Most people can understand it with ease if they pay attention to the information being presented.
@@hassassinator8858 I have now finished the current seasons of the anime and I understand ikt now lol, the confusing part is how two veRy similar but two different series getting mixed up in your head
Pure titans didn't exist until after Ymir's death when her body was eaten by her daughters
This was very informative but I’m not gonna lie, I’m still confused lool
I'm actually kinda pissed since this is the first time I'm hearing that an isolated organism in a freak occurance allowed a species to be weaponised against itself instead of the usual AoT summaries saying Ymir made a deal with the devil to make titans.
@@zyral.f.6938 The devil theory is less believable.
Willy Tybur: “And that is because I was born into this world”
Carla Yeager: “And that is because he was born into this world”
Beast titan: WHAT'S HAPPENING?!
Levi: LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
That was the best scene in that episode actually
I fully support making a few short video's detailing each of the Nine Titans!
AoT is a great story that has left an impact upon me few stories have ever done. It has really showed the futility of vengeance; how a cycle of revenge is pointless at best and omnicidal at worst. So I'm really happy you made a video about this.
This Anime Series/Manga Reminds me of the Roman Empire, How it Became a Once Powerful empire that Rule A Huge Amount of Land To the Fall of Rome and Is Now a Shell of What it was, a Powerful nation which now Lost its former glory
That's the story of every civilization ever, including the ones who have survived till today.
The lore of this series is amazing and very complex. I'm all caught up on the manga and the amine, but since the story is so dense, it's easy to get lost. This video was very helpful in breaking down the history.
I absolutely love Attack on Titan. This Anime took me by surprise when I first saw it. Bravo. Do you think you can do a video about Tokyo Ghoul and Death Note?
For tokyo ghoul better review the manga the anime is trash
For tokyo ghoul i watched the anime out of order (1st season then Re then Re 2nd season then actual 2nd season). U have no idea how confused I was about the entire plot. Atleast the fights were cool tho.
I would kill for a death note explained
I've been on youtube for almost 2 decades now and you, mr niyat, have become my favorite youtuber. I appreciate all the work that goes into making these man, I can only imagine the time it took to make this one and the many others you have gifted us. My new trend is to have 20 of these in the queue and watch them until I fall asleep. Thank you!!!
I'm so happy you did this video a day before I finished all 3 seasons. I was left a little confused on the series, and your video cleared everything up for me.
Thanks for explaining everything about those Giant monsters
Very happy AoT got so much love throughout the recent years, easily one of the best anime ever made. Thank you for this video :)
Love your spoilers. I haven't been keeping up with Attack on Titan besides what I see on RUclips and you tied it all together. Thank you!
Zeke is actually eren’s half-brother not step-brother lol
Isnt that the same thing
@@tooswaggy3866 Not really. Half-brother means they share one biological parent (in this case, Grisha) instead of two. Step-brother means they share no biological parents, and are therefore not brothers by blood.
Yeah it’s like my sister and I we both share a father but not a mother which is the same case for Eren and Zeke
Step brother im stuck
This is the quality content I subscribed for. This right here
This has already made me more interested in Attack on Titan than i was before. I would love to see more about the individual titans
This is by far the best explanation or recap of Attack on Titan that I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing this video.
Honestly thank you so much for covering nearly EVERY facet of films and comics imaginable! It’s incredible content it, keep it up!
How is yahmir so loyal to this guy?!?! Dude literally enslaved her people I-
I do not get it...
what? how was it "her people". i dont think the timeline is right in ur head
Erin's half brother, Zeke got Stockholm syndrome too..
@@secondeye1574 her people were just some tribe, enslaved by the eldian tribe and assimilated into it over the following decades. The modern eldians are very much her decendants and people.
Eldia and Ymirs OG-tribe were like the various germanic tribes, while Marley was more like ancient rome
@@janeycollado7946 No actually. Zeke has his own plans that do not align with Paradise or Marley. He actually joins Eren shortly after the anime ends (in the manga).
Thats all she ever knew, she never knew freedom until Eren showed up
Yes PLEASE do a deep dive on the individual titans that would be GREAT!!!
Oh man i freaking love attack on titan and so happy you did this video, been waiting a whole week for it since you announced it. Good job Niyat!
Posted on a video 4 years ago for you to do this.
You have finally done it and amazed.
Thank you much!
Ayyyy I remember asking for this AGES ago, great that we finally get to see you cover it 💯
Never thought you'd thought you'd take to anime, i'm smiling ear to ear right now. If this is successful might I reccomend oldies such as 12 Kingdoms or Escaflowne to underappreciated gems like Baccano, Gangsta or Blood Blockade. How about the limited animated: Classic Japanese horror stories?
I'd vote for Baccano @ u @
Yes, yes, yes - please! I was so surprised to see you take on this, but of course you did it brilliantly and I would love to see you go in further details on this! Great job - thank you! ❤️
Probably The Best I've Seen This Plot Explained So Far , Good Work
just when u thought attack on titan was just all about killing titans, until u read the manga
it's why it is one of my favorite manga of all time. It changes, as any manga should to avoid becoming dull and reptitive but it does so and keeps you glued by answering just ENOUGH of your questions but still leaving more to be answered so you're hooked to the end.
As amazing as the lore is, the level of specificity in the details are exhausting to keep up with.
I’ve been catching up on the anime and was super confused on why each side do what they do and this video was SUPER helpful!!
Absolutely love the soundtrack to Titan!!! I could listen it to 24/7 and it never gets old but what a great show and awesome explored video!!! You're the best and keep em coming brotha!!!!;)
I just started watching this show, it’s amazing.
You're about... three seasons too early.
S4 is coming in october, the final season. Gonna be crazy
@@ofimportance5458 I come from the future, it is released on December, November 8th is the current date as I write this
@@envy703 I come from a future where an epic first episode has been released
I come from the future and i have watched 9 episodes.I haven't watched any other anime but this series is in the top 3 best things i have watched.Not Joking.
Prob the only one who might ask, but I wanna hear your take on the Code Geass series.
This anime is one of the best honestly. From a guy who doesn't like anime this series is awesome.
Welp This was unexpected when I went to RUclips I see my favorite RUclipsr explained my favorite anime of all time. Thank You
I've only ever heard of this show by name and it seems incredible! I really should check it out!
It's incredible! You should really check it out!
I suggest you read the manga you would not regret it
It rly is
I just came here cause there was so much going on in the finale of season 3 that I couldn’t read the subtitles quick enough and wanted a summary 😭
Oh man absolutely love this series and your channel
I used to( and still do if I’m being honest) have such atrocious nightmares about Titans, but this video gave me pause and made me feel a bit more empathy for them. Still can’t fux with it
This was wonderful and yes please explore each Titan
Never would’ve guessed the series was about determinism
I honestly really...really.... really.... hope you'll do more of this kind, unexpected yet so entertaining
More of this, please!
Also: Hell yeah! Overlord!
this video has convinced me to re-watch s1 of atot and watch everything I haven't yet.
Wow the lore of Titan origin Soo deep
I remember watching this series and waiting for the next season after the fight with Annie, I gave up waiting and never came back since
I did the same. I came back when season 3 was out so it was nice to watch all 3 seasons without waiting... but now I'm waiting for new episodes for season 4. 😶
My favorite youtuber explaining attack on titan best day ever
I really love how you explained this! Please make more videos about Attack Of Titan!
The Man, The Myth, The Legend
When King Fritz told Marley to not make a move against paradis island. It wasn’t a threat, it was a prediction. He knew Eren would steal the founding titan.
I just binged all three seasons and greatly enjoyed it!! I would greatly enjoy a breakdown of all 9 founding titans
You should definitely explain the different kinds of Titans for us, much appreciated mate!
This is the beginning of anime breakdowns!
And I like it!
Aot is such a complicated story
Sometimes it's Political
Sometimes it's militaristic
Sometimes it's about Human morals
Sometimes it's about the Myths and Legends of the Past
Sometimes the Sins of our Grandparents did
Sometimes it's a epic
SASAGEYO SASAGEYO this is epic yay.
Keep up the epic work dude respect 😃👍🏻.
Great video. A dive into each Titan would be awesome!!!!!!
My first reaction was, “NO WAY!”
thanks for making this video. AOT is so brilliant that i could never even imagine how the creator write this long long story so tangled to each other. eren the original protagonist has turned into the ultimate enemy, reiner is the bad guy whos everyone pitying now, eldia and marley wars through centuries. world beyond the walls isnt exactly the better world that armin always imagined etc etc AOT is a mind bending masterpiece
Thank you Niyat.... Thank you for doing this video :)
It's finally good to see that FilmComics taken a step further and see Anime Explinations
I love when you do anime manga is just different from other fantasies it’s not afraid of just being weird
I've never clicked on something so fast in my life 😂
This..more of this...probably the best history video for the series I’ve seen yet
Wow such a pleasant surprise!! I would love to see the deep dive videos, keep up the good work!!
Now do more anime because they tend to have very interesting lore
A look into Berserk (mainly the manga) of the three main characters would be interesting, and the events that affect them.
I agree. I even heard there was a new release of the manga coming out this year or the next after so long. I’m hoping the series ends on a satisfying note. And I don’t mean a happy ending either. That’s not how the world of Berserk works.
Bladewriter Let’s hope the series ends at all mate
@Dragon Flame I agree. I know a couple book series who’ve been on hiatus for nearly two decades. Some folks says it’s good that they’re not rushing it. I can understand two/three years, five if you really push it, but 20 man? You either have nothing else to go on or have lost interest.
Very well explained in a quick way
Really great video ! Thanks ♡
You should do "Ajin Demi Humans" its a very interesting premise
AoT is truly a masterpiece bc it is a kind of Historical reference as its idea is the same in deep History that is not taught to the majority
This is crazy!! I just finished rewatching this last week!
Well done, the only explanation video that I actually understood!
I'd really like to see your take on the BETA from the Muv-Luv franchise. Strange but interesting race of aliens.
Baldian3 Especially since the creator of AoT was inspired by Muv-Luv Alternative
Erwin was my favorite, he was such a good leader😔
He was a good Character but I'm glad it wasn't Armin that died
Speaking of Armin he doesnt take his titan ability seriously he just laughed it off, its ok if he cant handle that kind of ability
If he got the colossal titan Marely would have regretted ever invading the island
Erwin was my favorite too. Up until i saw Reiner from 4th Season. I will not spoil anything but Erwin is much better than Armin. Armin is a bit of "pussy". He is improved in the last season but he seems to be still a "pussy".
You open with one of the most epic fight in the series nice
Feel like someone asked for this like a week ago, that was fast dude I love your channel!
