From where you get the shirt

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

@@dennishantman yes. Sound Horizon is an expert at telling a story through music. They seriously my favourite band since I'm stumble marchen. This is a masterpiece.

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

Attack on titan never dissapoints with their opening

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

At the time of this song, the story was simple, "defeat the titan". It's been 10 years since the anime started in 2013. The long and painful journey is almost over.

Yay, finally AoT again😁 I think you would love the full versions of the other openings as well

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

I liked it a lot

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

I have no idea why the writer, animators, and composers went so hard on this show. I'm glad you appreciate it!

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

I was not expecting this song to turn into a Bravely Default boss fight. Turns out its the same guy. Mind Blowing!

I seriously get a new appreciation towards percussion in songs every time through your reactions, love it!

Second intro’s full version is absolutely nuts you need to hear that too, great video as always.

There is also THE SICKEST alternative version of this song called Guren no Zahyo. You should absolutely check it out!

Recommend listening with captions because all aot songs have amazing lyrics

The live performance of this opening is worth checking out as well

I've actually never heard the full version either, that was crazy. Definitely gave new life to this song

The full versions of every single op and ed have vastly different sections in their center. Their all amazing!

This changes EVERYTHING indeed!

AHH! LAYERED LISTENING! That's how I naturally listen to music I didn't know it actually had a name, it's very helpful to know that for when I try to describe it, thanks man. Also while I'm not a fan of AoT I am a HUGE fan of these op tracks, love to see you revisiting the full version it's a trip

live version on the stage is crazy

This song was beautifully made

You should have a watch of their live performance of this one and the second season opening, that is truly captivating. The stage show they perform as amazing!

Live version is amazing. Please try to experience that sense of unity including the audience. The title of the video is"Attack On Titan Opening Gren no Yumiya Live" Contains two songs, "Guren no yumiya" and "Snzou wo sasageyo!"

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

You should definitely check out Bravely Default's OST as it was composed by Revo, the Linked Horizon leader and main composer

Wow that was my first time hearing the full version and that organ solo was the last thing i was expecting 😂

Oh yeah, it will be 10th anniversary in summer for this song's full version release.

Man this channel is amazing! I just found it from your chansaw man video and it's super entertaining and informative. I have fallen in love with music made in Japan and its great to see an actual music director break it down and enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you very much for making this content!

so awesome to hear you not only check out the full OP but just to go back and listen now that you're so far into the story! the writing (both in the story and the OST) is truly next level and you never tire of any of it. it's amazing to hear how much you're enjoying it I feel like people have mentioned this before in earlier AOT videos, but I think it would be so awesome to have you revisit songs you've heard before (ex. YOUSEEBIGGIRL) but talk about how much more impactful they feel/felt when hearing them in the show, or how differently those songs hit now that you've watched the scenes they were paired with

I am SO glad you listened to the full version. And all tehnical stuff aside, i feel like you are really a person who emotionally enjoys music too. Thats what i get from your reactions and facial expressions and i think that is the biggest reason i love your channel and videos. I appreciate all the knowledge and information too but seeing someone truly enjoy listening to the songs you dearly love, and that mean something to you, is the best part of this. Its even better cause you watched AOT and can truly experience what the music/song is supposed to mean and convey.

I enjoyed the opening before, but hearing it in its entirety is eye opening, its amazing!

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

The Linked Horizon openings and ending all have the song title translated to German at some point in the song (usually near the beginning). This one is 'Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen' = crimson bow and arrow (well, arrow & bow because it's a set phrase lol)

Ooo, it's nice to see you're doing the full version of the song. Honestly I don't mind ya doing these vids of OPs again for stuff that you have already reacted to before, if full versions are available that is. Like with your JoJo opening reactions, it would be nice to see you do the full versions of those too haha. It definitely is worth the relistens

Definitely check the music video of this song. The haunting visuals really compliments this tune.

YES FINALLY WE GETTING INTO THE FULL AOT ONES, istg I will pay money to be the top patreon that gets picked just so I can recommend OPs 2 and 3 and even red swan cause holy shit that guitar solo WKNDOFNCKQNDK, okay I typed way too much help

I love LOVE the full version OP2. There’s a bunch of super cool stuff in there

You should definitely do this for all openings (and even endings). You’re in for a hell of a ride!!!

You're amazing man fr your reactions are always great, always a good time to appreciate these compositions in this channel. AoT best media ever!

Great video! I liked the song a lot already and when I heard the full version I couldn't believe this song could get even better. My recommendation is to watch videos with lyrics too because many anime songs also have great lyrics that add more depth to the music.

Such a good song, and the lyrics and imagery from the music video fit into season 4 so much. Definintly worth a look.

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

I'm so excited you're doing listens of the full OP tracks from AOT! They're all INCREDIBLE, and I can't wait to see what you think of them.

There is another band from the same singer, Revo. It's called Sound Horizon, I think that you could chek it out!, it's more focused on fantasy/storytelling :)

This piece of music is simply amazing

So happy you did this full version. all the full ops for attack on Titan are amazing I hope you listen to them all! The full version of jiyuu no tsubasa is my favorite one The full versions of the endings are all really good too

Me as a german was absolutely blown away when I heard this the first time lol

Just watched AOT for the second time and it was as peak as it was the first time

"Maybe it's that new headset" -- it always blew my mind that you were doing these musical reviews on a hyper-x gaming headset. Glad you've (hopefully) gotten a better piece of audio kit.

It would be nice if you can spend a long video going through how you would layer listen to these songs. It will be a nice insight to how pros listen to music. Great work btw!!

I could make a video on HOW to develop that skill. That could be fun

Please watch the LIVE version 😆 you're gonna love it

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

There is a cover of this song called Crimson Bow ans Arrow by Epica. It's worth hearing, even if it's on your own time.

I think what you experienced in this video really exemplifies the experience that many anime fans have, when they fall in love with an opening, listen to it week after week before each episodede, and then later on get to hear the full version and fall in love all over again. I also don't think I've ever heard a song that had an organ solo and it wasn't a great time, just saying.

This was very enjoyable! If you have the lyrics for the next ones, that would be amazing

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

That shirt is awesome 🗿

Hell yeah! AoT music, Lets goooooooooo!!! Thank you so much. Very happy to know that you liked the show/story so much. I'm a big fan too, by the way. 🤘🙌💛🙏

I hope you fo the 2nd op in full version! It's my favourite!

i'd love for more hiroyuki sawano reactions

Can't wait until you get to The Rumbling, the full version is wild! Also, A suggestion I will make for a listen is Good Morning World! from Dr. Stone by Burnout Syndromes. That song is great.

this is why you need all full version anime opening at least once

That's lit! 🔥🔥🔥

You should react to the Rumbling (op 7) full version as well!

Wish he listened to it with subtitles, they are mind-blowing how it connects with the story

He needs to react to the live version of shinzo wo sasageyo

He finally got studio headphones noice

i recommend reacting to the full version of my war (opening 6)

I would heavily suggest songs with their lyrics as they have a lot of meaning behind!

yess, one song that you should def revisit is unravel (tokyo ghoul OP). You watched it in your second multi anime segment but only the short version. Everybody was talking about how good that song was when it came out even when people didn't even like the anime itself.
