I LOVE "My War". At first I found it pretty odd, but as the season rollled on, man it fits so perfectly well. The horrible things that happen, the war, the killing, the disturbing racist and brainwashing ideas...it feels like taking a horror song and trying to your best to make it into an up-beat anime opening
@@houseking9211 I think the stuff you develop a taste for over time is the best stuff actually. For example, I bought Iron Maiden's Number Of the Beast CD when I was like 14 because it looked cool, but the first few times I listened to it (on my diskman I might add) I thought it was a bunch of garbage and all the songs sounded the same...then a few months later I literally had nothing to do so I decided to listen to it again jusy cuz, and suddenly something clicked and I was floored by how amazing it was. I loved it so much I picked up a guitar and today if I'm not being too pretentious I think I can call myself a professional guitarrist. I mean, I have taught guitar in some music schools so...does that count?
I think the rest of the openings range from badass to beautiful, but My War is fittingly harrowing. I think it captures the horror more than any other opening.
Fun fact for the final op, The Last Titan. After the fairy tale bit of the song when it switches up. The lyrics make reference to every single opening in the anime: -Let loose like an arrow (Opening 1: Crimson Bow and Arrow) -The slave that once dreamt of freedom (Opening 2: Wings of Freedom) -Watched many offered hearts pass on (Opening 3: Give Your Hearts) -And became a bird drenched in red (Opening 4: Red Swan) -The path paved with corpses (Opening 5: Path of Aspirations & Corpses) -Reaches beyond the ocean on the heels of war (Opening 6: My War) -With the rumbling of earth in tow (Opening 7: The Rumbling) The full song in the 2nd half then recites lyrics that references all Ed songs (except Ending 8: See You Later) in the anime: -In this cruel world of walls (Ending 1: Cruel & Beautiful World) -No matter where I run (Ending 2: The Great Escape) -Chased by the falling sun, tearing at my wings (Ending 3: Birds of Twilight) -I long for the song of dawn (Ending 4: Requiem of the Dawn) -Sometimes I miss the name of love (Ending 5: Name of Love) -I tame shock and despair (Ending 6: Shock) -I just wanted to be under the same tree (Special Ending for the Final Chapters: Under the Tree) -Even if I was surrounded by the devil (Ending 7: Child of Evil)
Yup, especially the lyrics of OP1: "the rage of the boy will dye the world crimson red" "the bow and arrow from hell, the bow and arrow from hell, here it comes". It brings chills to my body.
@@HenryHoang-x One I really liked is the german part for both Op1 and the 2nd special ending (Final Ch's Part 2: To you in 2000 or 20000 yrs from now) being a continuation: Op1: Attack on the Titans The boy from back then will soon take up the sword. Who only laments his powerlessness, won't be able to change anything. The boy from back then will soon take up the black sword. Hate and rage are a double-edged blade. Soon, one day, He will bare his fangs against fate. SP Ed 2: When the world has broken the boy's sword He will reach the top of the skyscraper And look down on the Tower of Babel with laughter. Hate and rage are a double-edged blade. History repeats itself.
I loved it, I personally don't mind listening to analysis by a person that knows even slightly more than the average person. It's nice to get some insight for stuff that people like and what they might have missed in it. Even if it's not much, it's still appreciated.
I spent so much time in youtube just to watch reaction videos of musician to anime openings and there are not much reaction channels out there that have a good input and commentary when they review the music. But I came your channel and easily become one of my go to reaction channel for anime music. Please continue what you`re doing and vielen vielen Dank :D
When I watched Attack on Titan for the first time, before the release of the Retake Arc, I really underestimated Red Swan because it wasn't a cool rock song that would make you want to pick up a sword, put on an ODM Gear, and go crush the Titans. Now that the anime is over, Red Swan has become my favorite opening. It is because of this soulful and calm sound that we can understand that we're no longer watching ordinary shonen anime. Too much is at stake, it's no longer just a fight to win. This is a fight for survival and the titans in this fight are far from the most dangerous enemy...
As for the German stuff in Attack on Titan and the openings (for example op 1 has a whole German part in the full version) that is because it was inspired by Germany. I think the city of Shiganshina is inspired by a town named Nördlingen in Bavaria. Also, a lot of the last names are German sounding (or from regions around Germany). For example of course Jaeger/Yeager/Jäger or however you want to spell his name. Ans named like Braus, Freudenberg, Berner, Schultz, Walbrunn, Ackermann, Rheinberger, Dietrich, Wagner, Kruger, Reiss, Fritz, Stratmann, Springer, Braun, Forster,... there's even a Franz Kefka in the show (probably based on the famous writer Franz Kafka from Prague). All in all, I think even the story is partly based on Germany and the history of World War 2.
Full versions of Linked horizon openings have more references to their previous openings than you think 😂 There's live version of their song on RUclips
I don't know if you already saw them but if not here's three animes with great openings: "full metal alchemist brotherhood", "seven deadly sins" and "log horizon". Some of them are masterclasses.
The Rumbling is one of my favorite songs ever. SiM is their own genre, mixing metalcore, reggae, and punk. I've seen them live a couple times and they put on insane shows. I even got in a wall of death at one of their shows during their recent headlining tour.
When you said “Man I miss watching attack on titan” I felt it - wish I could go back to the first time I watched it! You should try reacting to Grissini Project attack on titan OST covers, you will realise that a lot of the soundtrack was actually in German and the lyrics are absolutely beautiful :)
you have to check "Hiroyuki Sawano / Project【emU】 “Attack on Titan” suite" it's live performance of some of the best OSTs of the show and has a couple German OSTs as well. definitely worthy of a reaction video
If you're going to listen to the full version of any of these songs it has to be 6, My War / Boku no Senso. The song has even more to gain by being listened to everything it has to offer
The extended version of Boku no Sensou (My War) is probably one of my favourites It keeps adding more and more to itself, becoming increasingly more chaotic, just like war
In opening 5 Linked Horizon, They really called back to their other opening.... Look at the lyrics... Shikabane no michi no saki de Op1《yumiya》 ga kakenuketa kiseki Op2《tsubasa》 wo chirashite Op3《shinzou》 wo tabanetemo Ed4《rekuiemu》 ni wa hayasugiru Taiyou wa mada shizundeinai no dakara Linked Horizon with their detail in their song...
@@hessiah2021 I only pickup because I'm big fan of Linked Horizon. Always searching for lyrics and translation. This show how much Linked Horizon love this series... If you search Linked Horizon attack on Titan live, you'll see they wrote many song to the series like song from Eren Mother perspective, song about Annie struggle, song about Petra admiring Levi, even song about Ilse from Ilse notebook ova...
@@hessiah2021 I left a comment somewhere here too about this but something more for you - they actually change the lyrics a bit too. The shinzou wo sasageyo from op3 was changed to shinzou wo tabanetemo. So it got changed from "give your hearts" to "we gave our hearts". They changed the perspective from the scout recruits in s2, to the fallen soldiers in s3p2. Also the bit with the growly voice that caught the reactor offguard, translates to "If you want to see the continuation of the dream, what can you offer? The devil whispered sweetly, creating a road with corpses." This is as the animation goes to the beast titan. It's Zeke, the 'devil' offering Eren a continuation of his dream of freedom, but creating the road of corpses with it. Absolutely crazy openings nothing comes close.
Not really spoilers but you could "listen" to The Rumbling as it were Eren, when he's screaming he's in his Titan form and when it's singing it's himself, the dualities inside us all.
****Spoiler**** It's spoiler idiot. You just took his reaction of Eren being dead in Episode 5 S1 and let him think that MC should never dies in almost any show, and making him puzzled why an MC died
Revo, linked horizon's composer, has primary band named sound horizon. Its albums tells stories. So if you think linked horizon makes "specific" melody in their songs, it's because they do reference something. Because Revo is a storyteller. It's his way to tell you a story through his songs.
There are live versions of the first three openings on RUclips; part of a full concert (which is also on RUclips). They're pretty amazing. And yes, full versions! Especially of Linked Horizon. You think you caught the callbacks, well, there's a lot more in the full versions!
@@4louisMC Yeah, everyone forgets about Jyuu no Tsubasa (the S1 Part 2 opening) because that popular live version of Guren no Yumiya omits it. But if you want to track down the entire concert, search for "Linked Horizon live 1st Wall" on RUclips; you can find clips by song or the entire thing which is just over an hour.
Since he already watched the show, I say the full concert video (not just the 3 OPs) could be better to react to! And this is because not many people do that! :)
The scene during red swan where young Erin bumps into his older self is so powerful! His younger self can’t recognise the man he becomes, completely unaware of what his life is to become. Older Erin is completely blinded by his search for freedome that he can’t even see the joys of his youth anymore, the type of freedome a child has through the very nature of being free from responsibility. It’s a reflection of how the gang are once they finally reach the see, there all still able to find joy in there life and appreciate the life they have even given its conditions and yet all erin can focus on is the enemy before them a hundreds of miles across the sea.
Amazing video man, glad I found it! You have an open mind and try to understand songs, instead of judging them off first listen (yes I am a big fan of The Last Titan lol). I really hope you're able to make a reaction for the endings! I'd personally love to see your reactions to the full songs too, they really add so much. And if you listen to them on RUclips I highly recommend watching lyric videos with the translations. Many of the openings and endings have super interesting lyrics which tie into the story :)
op 5 is one of my favorites because of the things being shown and how the tone of the music changes throughout, it gives me Season 3 nostalgia makes me wanna cry.
Loved your analysis! It would be nice if you do it with all the endings, if you want of course 😊 My favorite is "My War", it's a experience 😅👌🏼 and "Guren no Yumiya" has a special place in my heart
The "Epica vs Attack on Titan" EP is well worth checking out, if you never have. Getting Simone Simons singing a bunch of those songs, with choral backing...
What's even cooler at 19:47 is that Linked Horizon actually use not just the first opening, but the second, third, and even an ending, all in 8 bars. It's really cool as well because they use the same melodies (mostly), but change the lyrics. For example, the "Shinzou wo Tabanetemo", was changed from "Shinzou wo Sasageyo" (opening 3). This means they've changed the words from "give your heart", to "we gave our hearts", so it's talking from the perspective of the fallen soldiers in season 3 part 2, as compared to the perspective of all the scout recruits in season 2.
If you've watched the whole show there are parallels you could bring out in the show versus real world stuff that happened, I imagine there's something there that you could bring out to say that's the reason why they went with german in some songs. But it could also be that german sounds cool sometimes. Edit: Also, very unpopular opinion but my favorite opening is Red Swan.
Yeah true, I gotta say, it's been a while since I watched AOT so I didn't really remember all the German and WW2 references tbh. Yeah Red Swan is amazing!
@@MrAnimeAlex1 Be sure to listen to “Red Swan ” in its full version. The composer of this opening is Yoshiki - pianist, percussionist, leader of X Japan, the song was sung by Hyde - singer of the legendary band L'Arc~en~Ciel. The sound of the song is fully intended. Hyde also sings the latest ending to DEMON SLAYER. It is quite in his style of his other band VAMPS :)
The fact you could tell the fans drop in Red Swan (opener 4) isn’t the biggest climax of the song blew me away. Listen to the full song asap you’re going to love it
The use of german and germans names throughout the intros is for a major reason. Though the people on the island of paradis have a few different ethnicities, the main one is german as the eldian empire began with King Fritz. Based on fritzs appearance and timing, the fritz tribe could be compared to other germanic tribes before the unification of germany. But this is also evident through last names of character, like eren yeager, clearly a respelling of Jaeger. Its one of my favorite details that even though its a japanese anime with japanese bands making the intros, german features are very prevalent. One cool example is the design of the hosues within the walls.
You watched AoT and you're asking why there are so many German names and references? Maybe you should watch it again xP You should also check out the Hiroyuki Sawano AoT Suite and other AoT OSTs, most of them are incredible (Call of Silence, Call Your Name, Zero Eclipse, to name a few)
Son una belleza cada uno. Aunque mi opening favorito es el 5to "Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi", cuando respecta la versión Full es Die Flügel der Freiheit (Jiyuu no Tsubasa) **Así soy de fan de la Linked Horizon para saberme los nombres en alemán. 😅😅
I came across this video and i suggest watching : Attack On Titan Opening Guren no Yumiya Live🔥 Hiroyuki Sawano / Project【emU】 “Attack on Titan” suite🔥
Once you have finished the show, some stuff in the openings clicks. Like at 14:10 when adult Eren was around young Eren. I wonder if that's what you meant when you said that aloud. Also him looking at the 3 of them. Just hits deep knowing how the story plays out.
I think you should make this a common video, not a lot of musicians reacting to anime, you have a perspective and expertise that not a lot of people have. You should react to more anime music!
Well, if you liked the openings, I don't want to tell you what it means to listen to the soundtrack while watching the series. It involves a story and some totally incredible script twists. I won't be the first or the last to recommend that you see her. Greetings and thank you for sharing and giving value to a part of this piece of work.
I recommend you listen to the Eyeshield 21 Openings next, it's a sports anime about American Football and it's actually written by the same person that wrote the iteration of One Punch Man people are familiar with Yusuke Morata. The manga is actually very popular, and the openings are some of my all time Favorite! Another option is checking out the Detective Conan openings because those go hard.
Lol the characters are Germanic which is why the lyrics are in German. Not to spoil anything but ummm.... I dont know how to say this but there are German "soldiers" later on in the series that are very similar to an army from 1940s Germany.
Red swan reminds you of creep probably because it's almost the same progression as creep but on a different key and changing one note hahaha Creep goes I-III-IV-iv on G major, while red swan goes I-iii-IV-iv in F major To me it's the best opening for this anime, it's just the perfect representation of the sad world those three live in and the uncertainty of everything in their world. I also strongly recommend checking the full version, it has a beautiful key change on the middle of it that bumps up this song to a million

"Are we the prey, no we are the hunter!"
hit so hard when i first heard it
same, i decided to watch aot just bcs the first line is so epic. literally got chills all over my body + i was wearing my earphones.
Everything in the first OP is epic. The lyrics, the music, the visuals. Can’t really expect less for such a masterpiece of an anime
and then with the same rhythm, the final song Linked Horizon gave us "What are you learn?" after the ending of Rumbling.
I LOVE "My War". At first I found it pretty odd, but as the season rollled on, man it fits so perfectly well. The horrible things that happen, the war, the killing, the disturbing racist and brainwashing ideas...it feels like taking a horror song and trying to your best to make it into an up-beat anime opening
I actually liked it a lot the first time I heard it, it's super unique and a little weird so I definitely understand why people might find it odd.
@@houseking9211 I think the stuff you develop a taste for over time is the best stuff actually.

@@felipeaguena5289 accquired tastes for sure feel more special than something that everyone likes instantly, you feel more of a connection with it
I think the rest of the openings range from badass to beautiful, but My War is fittingly harrowing. I think it captures the horror more than any other opening.
i fell in love with my war in first listening best aot op for me tbh
Fun fact for the final op, The Last Titan.
After the fairy tale bit of the song when it switches up.
The lyrics make reference to every single opening in the anime:
-Let loose like an arrow (Opening 1: Crimson Bow and Arrow)
-The slave that once dreamt of freedom (Opening 2: Wings of Freedom)
-Watched many offered hearts pass on (Opening 3: Give Your Hearts)
-And became a bird drenched in red (Opening 4: Red Swan)
-The path paved with corpses (Opening 5: Path of Aspirations & Corpses)
-Reaches beyond the ocean on the heels of war (Opening 6: My War)
-With the rumbling of earth in tow (Opening 7: The Rumbling)
The full song in the 2nd half then recites lyrics that references all Ed songs (except Ending 8: See You Later) in the anime:
-In this cruel world of walls (Ending 1: Cruel & Beautiful World)
-No matter where I run (Ending 2: The Great Escape)
-Chased by the falling sun, tearing at my wings (Ending 3: Birds of Twilight)
-I long for the song of dawn (Ending 4: Requiem of the Dawn)
-Sometimes I miss the name of love (Ending 5: Name of Love)
-I tame shock and despair (Ending 6: Shock)
-I just wanted to be under the same tree (Special Ending for the Final Chapters: Under the Tree)
-Even if I was surrounded by the devil (Ending 7: Child of Evil)
Yup, especially the lyrics of OP1:
"the rage of the boy will dye the world crimson red"
"the bow and arrow from hell, the bow and arrow from hell, here it comes".
It brings chills to my body.
@@HenryHoang-x One I really liked is the german part for both Op1 and the 2nd special ending (Final Ch's Part 2: To you in 2000 or 20000 yrs from now) being a continuation:
Op1:
Attack on the Titans
The boy from back then will soon take up the sword.
Who only laments his powerlessness, won't be able to change anything.
The boy from back then will soon take up the black sword.
Hate and rage are a double-edged blade.
Soon, one day, He will bare his fangs against fate.
SP Ed 2:
When the world has broken the boy's sword
He will reach the top of the skyscraper
And look down on the Tower of Babel with laughter.
Hate and rage are a double-edged blade.
History repeats itself.
"Linked Horizon" 🔥
This give me chilld bruv

I appreciate it haha
@@MrAnimeAlex1 there are also some other OST like 'Ashes in the fire". AoT is trully a musical masterpiece.
I feel like the fourth opening "Red Swan" is so underrated. It just hits different after watching the full anime, such a masterpiece 😭
When I watched Attack on Titan for the first time, before the release of the Retake Arc, I really underestimated Red Swan because it wasn't a cool rock song that would make you want to pick up a sword, put on an ODM Gear, and go crush the Titans. Now that the anime is over, Red Swan has become my favorite opening. It is because of this soulful and calm sound that we can understand that we're no longer watching ordinary shonen anime.

As for the German stuff in Attack on Titan and the openings (for example op 1 has a whole German part in the full version) that is because it was inspired by Germany. I think the city of Shiganshina is inspired by a town named Nördlingen in Bavaria.
Also, a lot of the last names are German sounding (or from regions around Germany). For example of course Jaeger/Yeager/Jäger or however you want to spell his name. Ans named like Braus, Freudenberg, Berner, Schultz, Walbrunn, Ackermann, Rheinberger, Dietrich, Wagner, Kruger, Reiss, Fritz, Stratmann, Springer, Braun, Forster,... there's even a Franz Kefka in the show (probably based on the famous writer Franz Kafka from Prague).
All in all, I think even the story is partly based on Germany and the history of World War 2.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense! Thanks!
Even the MC's name plays into it, Eren being a Turkish name and there being 5 mil+ Turks living in Germany.
Buena Info. 👍👍
The story is more the one of ww2, but the technology and designs are ww1

And this is because not many people do that! :)
I just finished the show last week and I’ve been listening to the music for the few days and I wanna rewatch it. The OST is amazing

Came here cuz I love AOT’s intros. Your reaction and analysis to these was just so wholesome and cute.
Definitely subscribing after this one!
Honestly, you can say trash to me but red swan is my most favourite opening of aot and you should definitely listen the full version of red swan❤
trash? what does it mean? Hyde (Laruku) sang it with Revo (Linked Horizon), dude! the best collabe i've ever had.
@@BT-to9xv ikr the trash was for trash talkers btw😅
OFC IT MAKES ME FEEL EMOTIONAL IN A DIFFERENT WAY IDEK WHAT THAT IS
Amazing video man, glad I found it! You have an open mind and try to understand songs, instead of judging them off first listen (yes I am a big fan of The Last Titan lol).
I really hope you're able to make a reaction for the endings!
I'd personally love to see your reactions to the full songs too, they really add so much. And if you listen to them on RUclips I highly recommend watching lyric videos with the translations. Many of the openings and endings have super interesting lyrics which tie into the story :)
op 5 is one of my favorites because of the things being shown and how the tone of the music changes throughout, it gives me Season 3 nostalgia makes me wanna cry.
There is a song called the "The Reluctant Heroes" which is remarkable as well, it appeared during Levi captain entrance
Loved your analysis! It would be nice if you do it with all the endings, if you want of course 😊
My favorite is "My War", it's a experience 😅👌🏼 and "Guren no Yumiya" has a special place in my heart
you should show your best friend some of these, with some of the german they use in aot openings. Would make for a nice surprise i think lulul
You must also watch the endings they are fantastic ❤
The "Epica vs Attack on Titan" EP is well worth checking out, if you never have. Getting Simone Simons singing a bunch of those songs, with choral backing...
Please you have to check the hiroyuki sawano attack on titan suite it has the OST's of the show A masterpiece ❤
What's even cooler at 19:47 is that Linked Horizon actually use not just the first opening, but the second, third, and even an ending, all in 8 bars. It's really cool as well because they use the same melodies (mostly), but change the lyrics. For example, the "Shinzou wo Tabanetemo", was changed from "Shinzou wo Sasageyo" (opening 3). This means they've changed the words from "give your heart", to "we gave our hearts", so it's talking from the perspective of the fallen soldiers in season 3 part 2, as compared to the perspective of all the scout recruits in season 2.
Please do more man these analysis’s are fun to watch 🙏🏼🙏🏼
25:22 felt that “bro”
You should definitely listen to the red swan full version. You were right about the shortened version missing the drop
I love your reaction!
from Japan
There are live versions of the linked horizen songs. You should react to them! very good videos!
If you've watched the whole show there are parallels you could bring out in the show versus real world stuff that happened, I imagine there's something there that you could bring out to say that's the reason why they went with german in some songs. But it could also be that german sounds cool sometimes.
Edit: Also, very unpopular opinion but my favorite opening is Red Swan.
Yeah true, I gotta say, it's been a while since I watched AOT so I didn't really remember all the German and WW2 references tbh.
Yeah Red Swan is amazing!
@@MrAnimeAlex1 Be sure to listen to “Red Swan ” in its full version. The composer of this opening is Yoshiki - pianist, percussionist, leader of X Japan, the song was sung by Hyde - singer of the legendary band L'Arc~en~Ciel. The sound of the song is fully intended.
Hyde also sings the latest ending to DEMON SLAYER. It is quite in his style of his other band VAMPS :)
It’s my favorite one too.
opening 2 has got to be my favorite but honestly all of these are fucking amazing
red swan is like the best opening i'v ever seen/heard on a series. Not just anime, series in general
The fact you could tell the fans drop in Red Swan (opener 4) isn’t the biggest climax of the song blew me away. Listen to the full song asap you’re going to love it
also the rumbling reaction XD finally reached it and it is the best
Love your reactions! Also Luxembourg is beautiful, had a wonderful trip there once
I'd love to see you react to the full songs from the Linked Horizon openings.
Which OP is your favourite?🔥
I guess Rumbling
Op 5 or Op3
good choice🔥
Op 2 easy
OP 6 My war and op 3
Also I recommend Hiroyuki Sawano - AOT Suite, Bauklötze, all the AOT ending, Nisennen (final ending)
The opening for Kaiju No. 8 is also so good!
This is a neat reaction really nice
oh my god, i am from Luxembourg too!
great video
Eyyy nice😊
Can’t wait for your reaction to the OSTs
yessss anime musicc timeee
Love you and your reaction bro❤
I wish see you reacting this masterpiece 👑👑👑
You're not regret it 👍👍👍
日本の音楽は海外と色々違うらしいので、海外の方の専門的な意見とても面白かったです🥰
日本人の感性が歌にも良く出てると思います、海外の方も日本の曲を沢山好きになってもらえると嬉しい✨️
Sehr coole videos, weiter so :) grüße aus nähe Köln
The suite is next ! Definitely have to react to that
The use of german and germans names throughout the intros is for a major reason. Though the people on the island of paradis have a few different ethnicities, the main one is german as the eldian empire began with King Fritz. Based on fritzs appearance and timing, the fritz tribe could be compared to other germanic tribes before the unification of germany. But this is also evident through last names of character, like eren yeager, clearly a respelling of Jaeger. Its one of my favorite details that even though its a japanese anime with japanese bands making the intros, german features are very prevalent. One cool example is the design of the hosues within the walls.
shinsei kamattechan is so goated
You watched AoT and you're asking why there are so many German names and references? Maybe you should watch it again xP
You should also check out the Hiroyuki Sawano AoT Suite and other AoT OSTs, most of them are incredible (Call of Silence, Call Your Name, Zero Eclipse, to name a few)
Son una belleza cada uno. Aunque mi opening favorito es el 5to "Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi", cuando respecta la versión Full es Die Flügel der Freiheit (Jiyuu no Tsubasa)
**Así soy de fan de la Linked Horizon para saberme los nombres en alemán. 😅😅
Love it❤
I like you analyze like this ❤️😊
I appreciate it❤️
I don't have the most "advanced" knowledge but I love music and composition/songwriting...
I came across this video and i suggest watching :
Attack On Titan Opening Guren no Yumiya Live🔥
Hiroyuki Sawano / Project【emU】 “Attack on Titan” suite🔥
Once you have finished the show, some stuff in the openings clicks. Like at 14:10 when adult Eren was around young Eren. I wonder if that's what you meant when you said that aloud. Also him looking at the 3 of them. Just hits deep knowing how the story plays out.
34:02
Norman Osborn, Mikasa and me:
Oh, you can't do this to me... You know how much I've sacrificed? 🤬
dude react to "Attack on Titan suite Project Emu" worth it 👍
Please do the outros as well!
op 5 takes the motifs from op 1 , 2 and 3 in its chorus, idk how people dont notice, its amazing
listen to 'red swan' full version!!
you should also react to the endings, they are as good as the openings.
Reeeeeaaallly i like you
I feel exactly same way😮
Now that you've mentioned it, it's true that the 4th opening resembles Creep by Radiohead
2:46 LOL Exactly!!
Oh since you liked the openings maybe check out the cover EP dutch symphonic metal band Epica did (Epica vs Attack on Titan)
I think you should make this a common video, not a lot of musicians reacting to anime, you have a perspective and expertise that not a lot of people have. You should react to more anime music!
Great reaction and analysis. Please react to the OST life performance by Hiroyuki Sawano!!
The Rumbling and Sasageyo 🔥🔥
Well, if you liked the openings, I don't want to tell you what it means to listen to the soundtrack while watching the series. It involves a story and some totally incredible script twists. I won't be the first or the last to recommend that you see her. Greetings and thank you for sharing and giving value to a part of this piece of work.
Funfact about second opening. Nearly the whole beginning is in German
20:35〜
振り返るとシーズン６が一番好きだったな😌
内容も含め「あれ？いつもの進撃の巨人じゃない🌀」って混乱する体験は初めてで、知らない国へ迷い込んだ感覚になれた。
Hiroyuki Sawano love to use German in his songs
Fr I'm from Germany and I'm surprised that he even used german in these fire op
I recommend you listen to the Eyeshield 21 Openings next, it's a sports anime about American Football and it's actually written by the same person that wrote the iteration of One Punch Man people are familiar with Yusuke Morata. The manga is actually very popular, and the openings are some of my all time Favorite!
Another option is checking out the Detective Conan openings because those go hard.
TRY TO WATCH/LISTEN "YOUR NAME" SOUNDTRACK
REACT TO THE OUTROS TOO!!!!! Theyre so so good and nice to breakdown
"Wow"
yup thats attack on titan for ya
Under the tree the Best
Lol the characters are Germanic which is why the lyrics are in German. Not to spoil anything but ummm.... I dont know how to say this but there are German "soldiers" later on in the series that are very similar to an army from 1940s Germany.
You gotta try the OST or the endings it gets better 🙏🙏
Red swan reminds you of creep probably because it's almost the same progression as creep but on a different key and changing one note hahaha
Creep goes I-III-IV-iv on G major, while red swan goes I-iii-IV-iv in F major
To me it's the best opening for this anime, it's just the perfect representation of the sad world those three live in and the uncertainty of everything in their world.
I also strongly recommend checking the full version, it has a beautiful key change on the middle of it that bumps up this song to a million
Nice vid ! If you want, you can react to Fairy Tail (26 openings) and Sword Art Online (9 openings). They're really great !
I will at some point:)
I'm weird coz I like opening 2 more than anything else
I always thought there was a choir of kids in OP6 but turns out it's just the band's singer with an effect on his voice lol
Lets react to those endings!
I think you're really missing out on the experience not seeing the openings when watching anime.
Alternative title: "If Eren Kruger reacted to AoT openings"
You need to react to you see big girl / T:T
now we need a JJK op reaction pls
I already did JJK but I had to delete the video
You need to watch Linked Horizon Live
The Title of the Video should've be "William Shakespeare reacts to Attack on Titan Openings."
AoT EDs next?
You have to see AOT project emo too
I never realize the song has Deutsch lyric
