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

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)

@@HoangTran-wu6se 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.

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.

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

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...

Ай бұрын

@@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.

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.

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

There are live versions of the first three openings on KZread; part of a full concert (which is also on KZread). 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!

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! :)

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❤

You must also watch the endings they are fantastic ❤

Please you have to check the hiroyuki sawano attack on titan suite it has the OST's of the show A masterpiece ❤

Please do more man these analysis’s are fun to watch 🙏🏼🙏🏼

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 KZread I highly recommend watching lyric videos with the translations. Many of the openings and endings have super interesting lyrics which tie into the story :)

There is a song called the "The Reluctant Heroes" which is remarkable as well, it appeared during Levi captain entrance

I love your reaction! from Japan

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.

Love your reactions! Also Luxembourg is beautiful, had a wonderful trip there once

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.

@@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.

The opening for Kaiju No. 8 is also so good! This is a neat reaction really nice

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.

I love "My War". At first I found it pretty odd, but it fits so well with the season. The horrible and disturbing things that happen, all the war, the killing...it feels like if you took a horror song and tried your best to adapt it into an up beat anime song

Love you and your reaction bro❤

There are live versions of the linked horizen songs. You should react to them! very good videos!

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 suite is next ! Definitely have to react to 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.

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...

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.

Can’t wait for your reaction to the OSTs

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

dude react to "Attack on Titan suite Project Emu" worth it 👍

I wish see you reacting this masterpiece 👑👑👑 You're not regret it 👍👍👍

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'd love to see you react to the full songs from the Linked Horizon openings.

also the rumbling reaction XD finally reached it and it is the best

25:22 felt that “bro”

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.

you should also react to the endings, they are as good as the openings.

red swan is like the best opening i'v ever seen/heard on a series. Not just anime, series in general

opening 2 has got to be my favorite but honestly all of these are fucking amazing

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.

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🔥

Also I recommend Hiroyuki Sawano - AOT Suite, Bauklötze, all the AOT ending, Nisennen (final ending)

AoT EDs next?

Please do the outros as well!

I feel like the fourth opening "Red Swan" is so underrated. It just hits different after watching the full anime, such a masterpiece 😭

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!

op 5 takes the motifs from op 1 , 2 and 3 in its chorus, idk how people dont notice, its amazing

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

Now that you've mentioned it, it's true that the 4th opening resembles Creep by Radiohead

2:46 LOL Exactly!!

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'm still waiting for a reaction to the opening and ending scenes of KONOSUBA

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
