@JDGoesMovies
If the anime’s good I’ll watch the “sub version,” BUT I personally prefer “dubs” just because I hate reading & trying to watch at the same time AND #AoT has an AMAZING “dub cast!”
PS- You’re in for the ride of your life with this anime. The twists, turns, backwards, ups & downs WILL leave you at a loss for words because of the brilliance that went into #AoT!💚💚💚
14:31 This guy has the same face as the giant that ate his mother
The mother's "dont go" to this day still stands out to me a lot. She wanted her kids to live on and wanted to show shes strong, but in reality shes scared and wanted to be helped.
In addition, she held her mouth with her hand so that Ellen would not hear her voice that had unintentionally leaked out. This scene is very meaningful to me.
その思わず漏れてしまった声がエレンに聞こえないように手で口を押えるところも印象に残ってます。
yes, she's the very definition of a realistically strong woman.
Now I know why eren would do anything for his friends he got it from her
@@てんちん-h7j don't eren gonna make them regret they ever broke the wall
actually the dont go was because she remembered eren wanted to join the scouts, so she said dont go and cried
This guy seems pretty cool
Is that you
lmfao
he’s not don’t trust him
Barack Obama gives himself a medal
Always nice to see Big creators watching small channels
I can’t believe Jon is actually reacting to the best piece of animated media in the history of mankind. This is so sick!!
I’m surprised I haven’t seen “well aktchually One Piece is the best anime of all time ☝️🤓”
@@gerald3389 We'll aktcually, The Eminence in Shadow is the best anime of all time.
@@boggless2771of course
@@gerald3389 I was holding back because you dweebs cant handle the truth☝🤓 - a one piece fanboy
vinland saga is better
Ooooh you are in for a ride with this one Jon. One of my favourite shows ever, not just in anime. Every season brings something new and the Twists are insane 😂
WWW
And once you rewatch it a couple times the foreshadowing is insane the looks the Reiner/bertolt/annie give off and how they are eves dropping but at first you don’t notice it 🤯🤯🤯
@@Randomtrolling933bro he could see that comment in his notifications 😭
Couldn’t be more excited to see you start this incredible story. One of the most thought provoking things i’ve experienced in any medium. Pure genius at work from Isayama, to MAPPA and WiT to bring this story to life.
Seriously this story is a once in a lifetime quality and Im so glad that I was able to watch this show weekly since 2017
GOATED ANIME
@@ultrapat23"Once in a lifetime quality" 💀. Damn bro how many anime have you watched or do you only know shonen
Please keep watching, you won't regret it. It might get a bit too stretched in season 1, but you'll be in for a ride as things start to unfold.
As long as they make it passed S1, They should be good 😅
People don’t like season 1? I was hooked from the first episode 😂
@@xbilliamsx Bruh I was surprised to 😅 they don't even get passed 15 🤦🏾♂️
The problem with a "long" show like attack on titan is that the author has to create the world and the relationship between characters and envirorment, and it takes time, especially at the beginning of the story, aside the first episode that is often good for every show, the next episodes has to make you feel part of the story, and it takes time.
A good example other than Attack on titan is One piece, the first episodes aren't bad but not even good aside from some of them, when you reach episode 24 things starts to become really good.
When you reach a certain point in the story for attack on titan, one piece or every other long and good anime, you'll understand that everything before that was necessary to the story
@@xbilliamsx Especially for non-anime watchers, the show can be a bit of a mental adjustment lol.
One of the best shows you’ll ever watch. I’m always jealous of people watching it for the first time.
watching it the 2nd time was better for me 🤷♂
Hoho
My 12yro mind wasn't ready for the greatness that I was about to witness. I do feel bad for ppl that couldn't experience it as it came out tho. All the website crashes and theories after episode delays
GO WITH THE SUBS!
the original voice acting is insanely masterpiece!
Used to think like this too but i genuinely feel if you speak primarily english the value of dub is much greater in the long run. Quotes and voices are bound to stick more after you’re done an episode especially if you hear it and not just read it. I also think it’s much easier to miss something if reading instead of hearing too. Don’t get me wrong i think the sub is amazing , but I think a lot of people underestimate the value of simply hearing what you see, if that makes sense.
@@Onyx474 nah i respectfully extremely disagree
@@philipshin849 any reason? or you just like hearing sub more.
@@philipshin849 Kinda hard to follow his reaction in the video when the subtitles aren't being shown and all you can hear is japanese =/ even on the parts with subs its hard to read on them on a tiny square of the screen so for reactioin purposes, should watch dub
@@Onyx474 Definitely prefer the subs (particularly for this series) because the voice acting is genuinely just better- this isn't me being elitist because there are plenty of dubs I prefer to listen to over the original, and AOT does have a lot of great English actors, but in my opinion, lacks the intensity and emotion that gives a scene a certain punch in the gut. I like Bryce, but realistically Kaji Yuki embodies Eren perfectly and goes far enough to blow his vocal cords, and it shows. Also the editing and scripts for the dub is...not great. There are slip ups in translation that actually give incorrect info (i.e. SPOILER TERRITORY but it happens when a certain group of people aren't supposed to know one of their comrades is captured, but the dub has them knowing so, which makes no sense and defeats the purpose of what is said to them after, that's just one example), there are instances in English that are "over acting" or don't push the boundary enough, and the names aren't pronounced as intended (I know they were going for Germanic accuracy but it sounds awkward when you even read it differently and hear it said in OTHER languages the same as the original). Also weirdly enough they turn down the OST in the dub? I thought it was due to me being distracted listening to English since it's my primary, but no they really do decrease the volume and it's like...part of the beauty of the anime besides the art is the soundtrack imo
Overall, it's nitpicky, but I'm nitpicky enough to have it matter. And this is personal to my experience, but the series is rewatchable enough that I just know what the dialogue is so I can focus more on the animation next time-- and I've eventually read the manga after the 1st season aired, so at that point, I knew what was going to happen and what was adapted in/out. Of course, that won't apply to the casual viewer, and it's totally ok if they struggle reading or simply aren't immersed when reading. But chances are when people are watching a reactor watch the thing they like, it's because they've watched the thing a dozen times and know exactly when and what is revealed. If the reactor prefers sub or at least can handle it, I strongly recommend subs, at least for AOT.
This show is one of the craziest, most mind boggling pieces of media I’ve seen.
Unreal story and the depth of the lore is unbelievable.
Super excited and envious for you to experience this for the first time.
this is one hell of a show, it gets so crazy the more it goes on
Imagine the Colossal peaked over the wall and said in the deepest voice, "Finally, I found you all. My action figures."
Goated show
I started watching it last month and I can beat my chest and say it is the greatest anime of all time.
I have caught up and waiting for the final part coming this fall.
Its a masterpiece🔥🔥
Would like to see your opinion after the last episode airs
@@nakahili539still a great series
not even top 10000 animes
@@fiscalizacaoletterboxdyou haven’t seen that many anime’s so stop hating
@@jacobmetaxotos295 the comments before yours are some basement dweller Virgin takes holy crap. Can’t take people who purposefully click on aot reactions just to post comments seriously.
Enjoy the journey, don't get wrapped up in predicting things to the point of getting annoyed, don't get spoiled, and just have fun with it.🙏
He should always be predicting and thinking, prediction and thinking is not spoilers🙄🙄
@@jordanhill700 I said not to do it to the point of getting frustrated by getting theories wrong. 🙄
@@thalunizz21 Like Nerdy Nightly
@@leonardoalfredo3787 Bingo.🤣
@@leonardoalfredo3787at a certain point I realized I didn't have to subjugate myself to their madness. So I dropped their reaction in the middle of season 2. The husband, especially, was really combative and it would have probably done him good to just stay away from the comments for this particular show.
Jon this is arguably the greatest anime & story of all time. Thank you for embarking on this journey
On every other anime I would not care if you go dubs but this one subs are absolutely a MUST! There’s so much context in the literal meaning of the lines, dub couldn’t possibly do it justice, because it prioritises lip synchronicity over literal meaning, no matter how good the voice acting of the dub may be.
One of the best out there, also I’m SO glad you’re watching the subbed version 😎
This is the perfect anime that I believe anyone can get into. The mysteries keep you coming back for more. A true masterpiece in storytelling Jon, please stick with it!
Favorite show of all time! One of if not the most brilliant pieces of fiction I’ve ever witnessed. I’d kill to see this show again for the first time it’s that good!
Cheers for the beginning of a beautiful journey brother 🍻
Casually mentioning your thesis on Japanese horror cinema is wild. You're perfect for this type of reaction content!!
But he's wrong on that synopsis tho
Aot is based of Jewish isolation ... Holocaust etc. The eldians "jewish" were put in camps.. the remaining fled in isolation. Etc etc.. he was totally wrong
Don't encourage people when they are wrong
best part was defiantly when he said he is expecting the show to tell him whats going on this anime is notorious for giving one answer and 20 questions
best time to start watching. the trailer to the final chapters just dropped
Gonna wait until you finish the series and then I'll binge your reactions!
Great pivot from your music reactions. You're in for one of the craziest rides in TV history tbh. It's a lot of people's favorite anime of all time and for good reason too.
So hyped you're watching one of the best anime of all time. Its a masterclass in storytelling, and the amount of foreshadowing and payoff this story has is insane. Here for the journey
The writer of the manga which the show follows pretty dang closely said when he was trying to come up with what monsters would be. He say a belligerent drunk bust out of a bar fighting with the bouncers and such in such a way he thought humanoids with no rationality would be one of the scariest. (Or close to along those lines. I can't remember if he said humans or humanoids)
Looking forward to having another journey down this road with a new channel and from someone with a Japanese film degree, so able to articulate certain nuances and cultural influences and other interesting things as we'll go along I'm sure. The subbed version is the way to go, the voice actors are incredible and the emotion coming out of their voices is unparalleled for setting the tone of the media as it washes through your consciousness. This is a show that will have you absolutely begging for more, and I can't wait to see more reactions to our favourite iconic moments all over again. I can't give the show high enough praise, but interesting fact to leave you all with - currently 10 of IMDB's top rated 50 episodes ever of any medium is attack on titan. The show is just on another level.
Jon knowing how you react to music. You would LOVE the soundtracks from this show.
They are some of the best soundtracks to anything ive ever seen. The Openings and Endings too
You are not ready for Attack on Titan, trust me. The storytelling, world building, characters, animation, music, literally everything about this anime is a masterpiece. It’s one of those shows that only get better and better with each season and don’t have a single bad episode.
Beware of spoilers though, don’t search up anything on the internet and have a mod monitor the comment section. You definitely don’t want to get spoiled because there are going to be so many reveals, plot twists and shocking moments.
One thing I’m already telling you though: Remember the name “Levi”, he’s the GOAT. ;-)
What’s with the you’re not ready! You’re not ready for this masterpiece and all other.
It’s not hating; I find it lame with all these comments like yours.
People would truly enjoy this show with less insinuating commentary like these. ☮️
Subs, Always!!!! Subs are always the best because the original VAs are amazing and more authentic
“now i’ve gotta wait three days to find out what it is” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 so funny looking back
8:55 "Now I've got to wait THREE days to see what it(the basement) is" 😃😁😆😂🤣🙂🙃
The only bad thing with starting with Attack on Titan as your first anime is that you'll never find something equally good or better and will potentially be disappointed by everything else.
DBZ? DBS? Demon Slayer? etc
AOT is arguably the best fiction of all time. Plot and characters are so well written, and the soundtracks, animation and voice actors out of this world as well. Season 1 will be slightly a rough ride, but it will be a masterpiece by Season 2 onwards. Stay on subs because the Japanese VA are extremely talented and will bring added value to your experience.
When Carla tells Eren and Mikasa that her legs are broken so even if they get her free, she wont be able to move. But when the titan holds her you can see her legs kicking, implying that she only said that in hope of having Eren and Mikasa to run and leave her. And yes the "please don't go" is absolutely heartbreaking... Enjoy the show JD. You picked to right anime!
This is one of my favorite shows JD, from Season to season it changes a lot but keeps its character and upholds the quality all the way through! I’m excited for you to check it out!!!
No matter how often I watch this episode, seeing Moses' mom hold his arm like she is holding a baby, her baby, gets me everytime
Oh yes, been waiting for this
This feels like a very real reaction, no over the top reactions or screaming, just and actual, and enjoyable view of someone experiencing AIT for the first time
15:03 well, actualy Isayama put a lot of Norse Mythology analogies into the show. Whole starting date -> 845. the date Shinigashima falls... it's the year, when Vikings laid a siege to Paris... (and eventualy broke through, plundered and occupied it). Leader of that invasion, was no other than Ragnar Lothbrok - characters who's been a legend already during his life. His history inspired Netflix to run the show of Vikings.
There will be more norse/viking references in the show.
Jon Denton are you serious right now. Youve probably made my life with this. This is the BEST show i’ve ever seen in all of media, you will absolutely love it. Only rivals are the Sopranos and Breaking Bad. I love your music reactions and hope you breakdown this show just as well, if not better. It needs that attention.
I just discovered his channel. I don't usually watch solo reactors but I'm glad to see most of the patrons here actually watch top tier shows like BB, BCS, Sopranos and Mr Robot. Usually AoT always get compared with other typical shonen anime, but my god, AoT is far from any of it. You are right those shows are some of the rivals for AoT.
@@zakwankhidzir I’m glad you agree. This cannot be compared to any shonen, the level of complexity in the themes and story is too much for that genre. I can assure you Jon is a very attentive person, and breaks down his thoughts well after years of practice reviewing music.
"I've got to wait 3 days to find out" ooh you have no idea😂😂😂😂
This is the dark souls of anime
Omg I’m so glad you made a movie/tv reaction channel, can’t wait to watch whatever’s next! ❤️
BRO YOU ARE IN FOR A RIDE LETS GO IM IN!
THIS IS ROLLERCOASTER KIND OF A SHOW, USING HEADSET IS A EXCELLENT MOVE BECAUSE THIS SHOW ALSO KNOWN BY ITS MAJESTIC SOUNDTRACK
Oh man, I love that you're talking about the themes and the historical influences on the story and such. Too many people don't really consider that, but it's something I love to think about. The Colossal Titan absolutely feels like a metaphor for nuclear bombs.
what made me cry wasnt his mom dying, but her saying "don't go"... i still get chills, and the anger deep down i feel for the people who did this rises and rises.
oh fuck it's time 🔥 ( also subs 100%, the original voice acting deserves to be heard. some dubs can def be awesome though.)
this is one of the best and most nuanced shows i've ever seen (period, not just in anime) so i'm glad you're watching it! looking forward to future reactions. :D
omg john is watching anime. from the music reactions to this, im here for it.
I decided to follow you up on this journey because I like very much the way you reacted and your thoughts by the end. When I began my journey AOT this episode traumatized me to the point to watch a second episode one year later. Please continue with subs and know that every single detail, even if seems pointless, it’s going to be VERY helpful to understand that whole story.
Have a great journey,
Lu
Yes Jon!! Keep this series going I swear I’ll watch every one
Yooo, been watching since "Rock Reacts" 5+ years ago. Cool to see you venturing into anime now! I'm here for the ride
I’ve watched you for years I had no idea you had an anime reaction channel, time to binge this 😂
I’ve been a fan of your music reactions for a couple years. I can’t tell you happy I am to see you reacting to my favorite story. I think you will love the music scores.
Honestly, every single episode is insane. It is just so good. I have never watched something so heartbreaking and mindblowing before. Every single detail matters and even episode 88 can be linked back to episode 1, every thing is so well built. The characters, the voice acting, the writing, the world building, the emotion, the lore, every single thing is AMAZING. I wish I could go back in time and wipe my memory and watch it all again with a fresh mind. I hope you watch it to the end, the final episode is due to come out in October so hopefully you can catch up for it! We will be here for the journey with you, you are in for a wild ride and the AOT fan base is huge and massively supportive. Lets do this! :D
Keep in mind that in this chapter Wit Studio changed Eren's dream, for this reason at the beginning of Chapter 88 (the one-hour special) Mappa corrected this mistake. Mappa made that correction because Eren and Mikasa's dream is fundamental to the end of the work. In the first chapter of the manga it is understood that the dream that Eren mentions having had is about Mikasa and him, what this chapter shows, before Eren wakes up (titans, toys and corpses) is a change made by Wit Studio and has nothing to do with Eren and Mikasa's dream shown in the first chapter of the manga.
It's always a good day when you find a new reactor starting AOT. Enjoy the ride
NO WAYYYYY I love this new journey of yours!!!! I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your music reactions but I do watch them a LOT. I never thought I’d see you reacting to anime, I’m so excited!!! I hope you love AOT as much as I do 🎉
I find myself watching many reaction videos to this show. All the twists and turns, it always gets you with new information. Lets go!
JD you've actually made my week by starting this series - I watch and rewatch reaction vids to anime like AoT all the time, so you're making me another classic here. Hope you enjoy!
It gives out a ton of more emotion when giving out lines in the show and it has some badass one liners
Yessss Jon, one of the greatest shows I’ve ever watched even outside of anime. Excited for these reactions
I love that this channel is getting good recognition. You’re gonna love this show. It’s insane
you're gonna love the OST it's incredible
JD Ive been a follower for quite a while now. I'm glad you finally gave Attack on Titan a shot. I've seen plenty a RUclipsrs start watching this show and go down this DEEP rabbit hole of this shows greatness. Trust me when I say, you are not prepared for what this show is going to do to your mind. You will never be the same. Can't wait for you to get to the insane episodes down the road 😂
Just hopped over here! I've been following since Rock Reacts days and this is wild I never thought I'd see JD react to anime. He's going to love a few of these, especially AoT.
"Why are they terrified of her?"
/Mikasa's dead eyes and black aura😂
The last thing I expected today was Jon Denton reacting to my favorite anime. I’m totally in for it.
Never thought I’d see you doing this. Excellent Segway, master MC DENTON
There's no shot in the world this is real. The stars have aligned and the universe has provided me with perfection.
Season 2 really gets things rolling. When you don’t have the video on screen, you should still put subtitles on the screen
I'm so happy for you for starting this! So happy you get to enjoy this incredible piece of media, and for the first time, too. I'm going to be following along with you, watching it for, like, the fourth time, and I know I will enjoy just as much as you. (You learn something new every time you watch SNK/AOT, that's how well it's written.)
Man, you're in for such a treat! I hope you have a good time with this anime, loving the journey as you follow/uncover the story with the characters, and generally have the best experience possible! I know the fandom can be a bit too much sometimes so don't forget to go at your own pace ☺
Btw, I know japanese copyright is a pain in the butt but could you maybe leave the bottom part of the video with the subtitles in? I know such a small change shouldn't cause any trouble for you and the viewers won't miss out on any dialogue, sub or dub. Thank you! 🥰
CANT WAIT TO BINGE WATCH YOU BINGING THIS 😁 my fav anime of all time ❤ hope you enjoy!!
Love your music channel and just happen to watch anime as well. This is a dream come true JD!
First reactor I've seen comment on how the village represents nippon being cut off from the rest of the world.
Educated, and correct analysis. What other film makes that comparison?
I agree with subtitles, I'm glad I found you in my recommendation I subscribed
I love your music reactions so to see you moving to anime just warms my heart… please keep it GOING‼️
I’ve been watching your music reactions for years now, I just know you’re gonna love this show, I’m so excited
Did not even finish the video yet and already subscribed ang going to binge watch the rest!!!
Bruv Ive been waiting for this, I think you’ll enjoy the journey 😄🔥🔥
Excited for you to watch! Def stick with the sub Eren's VA is phenomenal
youre built for this, Jon. Im rooting for this channel!
You just started a journey and are about to take many people with you across your reactions to this show. I've done this 100 times by now. Here we go again!😂
and your not the only one xD i can't even count how much i watched AOT bro xD
Oh man he's even taking notes... this gonna be goooood
Attack is ELITE...just watched all the released content about a month ago and was obsessed
I fully recommend going through with this. Itll be such a ride. And knowing this channel, AoT’s musical cues and scenes cut so deep and im sure youll get a kick out of them all! Look foward to this!!
Finally found someone who is worth watching attack on titan with keep going bro
I will be seated for this to the end
Just discovered your channel with this reaction, and I've got to say I REALLY appreciate your perspective. I've often mentioned to friends that Japanese creatives just be influenced by their history which is vastly different from the west and that it really permeates the theme, the writing, and develops characters you can empathize with.
I look forward to binging these reactions and further exploring your channel.
Cheers,
“I’m expecting the show to tell me what’s going on” hahahahaha oh boy you’re in for a lot of questions in your brain
W Jon Denton everything is flawless about the school the fight scenes give me chills the music perfectly compliments the scenery the plot is intricate i love all the characters
The voices in the sub are on a completely different level, it’s not even close
From music to anime, always enjoy your takes JD!
Came across you for the music reviews with juice wrld a few years back when he passed, now you have made your way into anime?! Oh snap your subs about to skyrocket watch out!
I loved your insight about the japanese history, and man, you'll enjoy this a lot for sure.
Bro gets to watch this masterpiece for the first time 😭
11:06 This music... what a masterpiece
