1Min, 10Min, 1Hour Challenge: Animenz - Attack on Titan | Opening Season 1

[@heartofthekeys]

Back with another Challenge 🥳😝 who is your favorite character in Attack on Titan? I love Mikasa and Levi 🤩 I am working on my first album with all Chopin Etudes - you can support me here: gofund.me/ac613148

[@SlinkyzZz]

My favorite is levi

[@chilixol7177]

My personal favorite one is easily Ymir, who’s really underrated I believe

[@fungaljungal]

Hiiiii! I like Mikasa!!!

[@hasegawashiro5741]

Can you do red little riding hood 1min 10min 1hour challenge❤

[@olusegunajayi5635]

This is the most humorous 1minute 10minute 1hour challenge I've watched.

[@gleesinnpiano2653]

3:42 is basically how it feels learning any arrangement from Animenz

[@th3logician]

This pin is perfect.

[@天上太阳-h4d]

I love Animenz.

[@veegee9hoperrs]

ok

[@dark_holiday2461]

me too

[@ichigo6361]

Who dont bro?

[@badublackwater6556]

So good creations of music

[@MmszMee]

Yes

[@jean-samuelgagnon8588]

I don’t know how you don’t stop after you miss some notes, this is really a great skill. When I play a false note, I tend to always start again at the beginning of the section. You’re definitely a sight reading legend.

[@metalscholarsreact666]

Something that can help is to look at the harmonies/patterns that the notes are forming instead of every single note. You'll be less hung-up on the little notes in-between

[@reveirg9]

That's because you tend to learn by memorising. When the brain registers a mistake it tends to repeat from a "save file". Like how you would remember the alphabet or your phone number or your identification number, you would always have to start from a certain part and proceed from there. To get rid of this habit you want to try NOT to memorise the notes, stop looking at your hands when you play and learn to follow the score consistently. It's not an easy habit to break on your own.

[@andreasthiemke9520]

This is something you can learn. And something I recommend you learn. It's great to be able to continue through the piece even with mistakes.

[@jonathanrakotobe1602]

​@@reveirg9 thanks i am sure it is a good piece of advice

[@bladewake]

Personally, the way i do this is to just not care that i am playing the wrong notes, but this creates a bad habit where i perfect playing the wrong notes, so only do this when you are performing, and i suggest performing by yourself a lot.

[@JDH_MUSIC]

The music in that show is amazing, the Japanese composers are really unique.

[@andreasthiemke9520]

I feel Linked Horizon did an exceptional job too. Normally in anime intros, they feel kinda unoriginal, and easily interchangeable, but the AOT ones all feel really unique.

[@aracanthe7251]

No way! That's definitely one of the top transcriptions I'd love to play from Animenz, but damn it's hard. So cool to see such a good pianist play it! #AttackOnTitan #AOT Beautiful rendition of one of the most powerful openings in recent anime history. Crazy to see what you can do in an hour!

[@jackyli992]

Guren no Yumiya is definitely one of those crazy ops that never gets old for me. Ominous chorus, German narrator, and sword clashing sfx are some of the coolest things in this song. Goes to show Revo’s unique songwriting. Animenz does a splendid job to cover this one heck of a song. He did cover a TV size version back in 2013, which actually served as the basis for the full version in 2020. I would love to attempt this in the future #AttackOnTitan

[@emanuelebabici]

LOVE the video quality! The double camera and expecially the voice overs instead of the subtitles, it makes it a lot more enjoyable and also gives you the chance to explain more complicated stuff!

[@metalscholarsreact666]

I love to see her make exactly the same faces I do (we probably all do) when we're practicing. It is really refreshing and fun

[@_joaovitormartins]

#AttackOnTitan Animenz and Theisther played such a big role since I started playing the piano. I didn't have much contact with classical music, and even when a teacher would bring me a piece, it'd usually feel bland (mostly due to simplified arrangements). But I found so much inspiration in the piano-anime community! Those arrangements were my driving force (and, mostly, still are!). On another note, about the problems with autofocus, I'd suggest switching to manual focus (or turn off the focus tracking function) whenever you are playing, and the camera is stationary. As your body and face are essentially always in the same plan (in relation to the camera), you'll stay in the focal plan, and your image will turn out sharp. To make it easier focusing, you can even use an object or furniture, placing it in the same place where you'll sit, and focus on that. Hope it helps!

[@terrystaxi4253]

Your hour would take me a whole week to do I adore your work as much as I envy, beautiful video I will work harder

[@MD-cq6lx]

yoooooo, the new camera angles are looking crazy clean. Very nice

[@Maks195]

It is insane how you even manage to play something so good after only one hour! Ly❤ #AttackOnTitan

[@rashido]

Super happy I saw a new video with animenz pop up from you in my feed, also makes it even better that you were so excited to play this :D. Thank u for your unravel promise too! :D Good days ahead on piano content :)

[@S.OSENDA]

It’s so cool !!! #AttackOnTitan is one of the best, if not the best, anime. I love the plot twist and the dystopian genre it has ! My favorite character is clearly ✨Eren Jäger✨ !!! Thank you for your videos, I love watching them ☺️

[@ichspielernst4688]

Bin zwar nicht der größte Fan von Anime aber die Soundtracks sind alle sehr episch. Wie immer ein lustiges und unterhaltsames Video!😊 Ich freue mich schon sehr auf weitere Videos und auf die Dankeskarte, die vermutlich bald ankommen wird. 😃

[@marx96xVx]

You looked like you had so much fun! I loved the your facial expressions during the performance!

[@k3rok939]

This made me realize how much professionalism you use to learn a piece fairly quickly. You learning Guren no Yumiya is me learning every piece 😅

[@Alycatpiano]

#attackontitan I have to say this piece is stunning! Love the intensity in it! And whats not to love about aminez!

[@Jcorban08]

It was fun to watch you having fun!

[@DavidRosset]

Soooo great that you gave a try to animenz adaptation, he's a great (re)composer i think ! Very talented as you are.

[@Raziel_72]

That was amazing. Even learning that much in an hour and a bit is incredible. Keep it up!

[@craiver00]

The first version of Animenz's Guren no Yumiya is more technical than this. Your progress within an hour really show the years of practice as a professional pianist.

[@xHarikenx]

Animenz arrangements are just soooo good

[@istyleonpiano]

Love this series, feels refreshing to see that amazing pianists are mortal human beings just like anyone else.

[@tompas7408]

I love aminenz's arrangements and I love to see you play. The combo we didn't know we needed 🔥🔥

[@mutdd3954]

Let’s go. Aot my fav anime of all time. I love all the pieces from animenz. He’s truly something else

[@ejun251]

I love how excited you are this video. I'm a huge fan of AoT too. The crossover I never expected

[@quang.5613]

The #attackontitan series was so good, after i finished the first 2 season, i decided that i'd wait for the anime so that i wouldn't tear myself down waiting for each episode.

[@ozlemozturk5721]

It is so amazing to see one of my favorite pianists on KZbin playing the #AttackOnTitan soundtrack. I loved the plot twists so much and it made me get into anime. My favorite character is of course Levi.

[@creepypapermultipack]

This was awesome. I loved how into it you got! I also love this show. It’s soooo epic.

[@Cloudstrife7070]

This made my night at work so much more bearable. It was such a joy watching you having fun playing this. #AOT

[@konpet4248]

Ngl, didn't expect you to play another animenz cover. Really happy about it though! (Btw could you try out Beethoven's Rage over the lost penny? It's relatively unknown for Beethoven standards I feel like. Tho ofc you probably get tons of requests every day, so I don't have much hope)

[@zidvi3371]

So epic 11:51. Incredible emotion experience. Thanks to You! #AttackOnTitan ❤

[@mrbroom1559]

Favorite video so far, sooo entertaining and heartwarming seeing you too excited to focus 😅

[@Lore_Piano]

Amazing performance on this #AOT opening, after only one hour of practice, your playing was amazing, now I have to rewatch the entire anime for how powerful that was 😆🙄, stunning as always ! Keep up the great content 👏🏻👏🏻

[@jezrielpunzalan3106]

#attackontitan ahhhhh that was amazing for just an hour. It was so fun to watch your process when learning a piece whether it's classical pieces or not! Thank you for sharing!

[@Christian333x]

The audio for this was amazing. The Boston sounds great!

[@Captain-kirk-]

I like aot because it is both action and dialogue intensive, brutal yet subtly elegant. It is thematically rich, resonant and symbolically profound. The amount of subtle detailing and parallelism throughout the series is crazy and incredible. My favorite characters is Levi, because Levi is calm and very talented in combat. He takes down the female Titan with ease as well as many of his other foes. These traits alone are why Levi is well respected by Eren and the group. He also has great instincts and knows when to go into battle and when to retreat. Levi wasn't always as strong as he is now. He has a tragic backstory as a child where he was on the verge of death, but not only that, he also watched his mother die. All of these hardships that he faced made him into the person that he is today. He evolved from a child with a traumatizing upbringing to a full-fledged hero, and that's why fans respect him. #AOT #Atack on Titan

[@crispycreeper132]

#AttackOnTitan Honestly I never get how pianists are able to sight read such difficult pieces and achieve so much within 1 hour being a pianist myself for a decade and i still cant come close to sight reading anything XD. Really well done though cant wait to see your next 1min 10min and 1hour challenge!

[@repillogd3591]

Its always cool and inspiring to watch how much progress you get on these hard pieces in only an hour. Also I enjoy how you play animenz he is my favorite anime music pianist. Having too much fun and forgetting to concentrate also happens to me in an Animenz arr that im trying to learn :) #AttackOnTitan And my favorite character is Erwin

[@MusicHavenSG]

i've been an increasing fanboy of Animenz's stuff! Puts my playing to the test!!

[@for3zon277]

#AttackOnTitan I actually rewatched aot last year. I really love the story, in the first seasons when you dont know whats going on and slowly little pieces of the story get revealed its so interesting to see where the plot goes! And i also really like the badass moments, my favourite character is Levi, in my opinion he is one of the most badass characters in anime :)

[@sbdray]

I'm always amazed at what you can achieve in just 1 hour. Bravo! 👏

[@omegafury226]

I love watching this challenge series! I like AOT because it's so unique to have such a shonen series with that sort of desperation and deep situations. I like Sasha because of the gap between her personality and character in battle #AttackOnTitan

[@kevinkaiser5099]

#AttackOnTitan ist von allen Animes den ich gesehen habe das beste, selbst wenn man nicht alles beim ersten mal checkt lol. Man fühlt auch so sehr mit allen Chars mit, wobei Levi mein fav ist. Btw mega arrangement ❤

[@RYK05130]

Omg I am not an AOT fan but seeing you play this piece makes me want to practice too!! This song is so epic and also brings me back lots of flashbacks of the scene!! #AOT Also love that you inserted German comments throughout! I feel your frustration! 😂

[@zdravkodanailov4725]

Hey, I am a huge fan of the Attack on Titan series! What I love most about it is the intense storyline and the well-developed characters. The plot is so gripping that it keeps me on the edge of my seat every episode. The world-building and the attention to detail in the animation is also amazing. It's tough to pick a favourite character because there are so many great ones, but if I had to choose, it would be Levi Ackerman. I love his no-nonsense attitude and his incredible fighting skills. He's also a complex character with a tragic past, and I find that really interesting. I would absolutely love to win the sheet music for the Attack on Titan theme song and all the other Animenz pieces in the book. Learning to play it on the piano would be a dream come true for me. The music in the series is so powerful and emotional, and being able to recreate it myself would be an incredible experience. It's also a little too expensive for me to afford haha #AttackOnTitan AOT

[@TheArtofFencing]

Oh the struggle to concentrate, I can relate so much! Great video though, the animez arrangements are all so epic. #AttackOnTitan

[@liviatanaka4134]

Wow, you nailed it in less than 2 hours and I've been practicing for over 1 year now. Amazing!! #AttackOnTitan

[@pianissimai]

Your enthusiasm is great! Would love to hear a full version of the piece ❤ #aot

[@l-m.1]

Pls do more of Animenz cover, I would love to see more of them.

[@pawid5478]

I love #AttackOnTitan. It was my first anime and after 2 years I still haven't found a better one. I don't think I have ever cried due to a show that many times before. I feel even more sad that this anime is coming to its end. It's hard to say who is my favourite character but if I had to pick one it would be Hange. As always, you played amazing. I hope I can reach your level someday.

[@sohanpraneeth2323]

i gave up on learning this but watching u reignited the passion... orewa mou migemasen #AttackOnTitan #AOT

[@christianth465]

YES another Animenz arrangement challenge from Annique !! Keep up with the great content ❤️ #AttackOnTitan

[@markush.974]

Great video! The series just has some amazing reveals like when you hear about the rest of the world or when Rainer and Berthold reveal themselves to be titans. #AttackonTitan

[@harrymiller7559]

it's fun to see you having such a lot of fun while practicing. #AOT I like the paintings / the colors

[@Yurz.x]

#AOT i love attack on titan! especially the intros!! while you were playing i was singing/humming along and it definitely made my day! oh and one of my favorite characters is eren because of his growth and development!! thank you for giving us a lively and Epic performance!

[@ozgurseker06]

#AttackOnTitan My first video from this channel. I loved the concept. It also encouraged me and inspired me on how i should work. Great content

[@sakkaran3050]

Animenz is the love of my life...

[@mutdd3954]

#attackontitan this is my fav anime of all time because of the complex story and multiple perspectives. Isayama is a genius. My fav character is Erwin smith.

[@Lycarsaria]

Another awesome vid. I wish my playing was as good as yours but I will keep practising :) I would say my fav characters would probably be Eren, Mikasa and Levi. I know I am basic. I never would have expected such a twist in the story, therefore that whole realisation must be my favourite part about it. Keep going and good luck with your album. #AOT #Attackontitan

[@handsanitizer6594]

Attack on Titan is my favourite anime of all the ones I hv watched and it was also my first anime. I absolutely love the openings of AOT and I'm so hyped for the next part of S4 p3 My favourite character is Levi ackerman cuz he's just too good also keep up the work and I really LOVE watching these challenges. #AOT #Attackontitan

[@amel._.313]

Aint no way u just learned all of what would take me MONTHS to learn IN ONE HR ur different.

[@faqenz3902]

#AttackOnTitan #AOT The reason that I love the series so much is because I think it's honestly so special that we get to watch a main character become the villain of his own anime. From someone who hated Titans to someone who became a Titan. My personal favorite character would probably be Erwin because he is a fierce leader and someone who would give his own life for the greater good. He shows two sides of the people in Attack on titan which is one a fierce leader and a strategist and also has moments of vulnerability. With that said of course I can only say so much without spoilers. But yeah I can ramble about him all day. Anyways fantastic video as per usual! Have a good one! (guys watching aot pleaseeeee)

[@The52Hz]

Actually I watched the series after you talked about it on livestreams and videos! It was amazing overall, I couldn’t wait for season 4 part 2 so I read the manga haha. My favorite character is Jean Kirstein, a natural leader with great character development. #AoT

[@zanderallan4373]

Honestly these vids are the only reason I still go on yt

[@zdravkodanailov7]

As a huge fan of Attack on Titan, I find the series captivating with its intense storyline, well-developed characters, and remarkable attention to detail in animation and world-building. It's hard to choose a favorite character, but Levi Ackerman stands out for his no-nonsense attitude, impressive fighting skills, and compelling backstory. Winning the sheet music for the Attack on Titan theme song and Animenz's other pieces would be a dream come true for me. Learning to play these powerful and emotional pieces on the piano would be an incredible experience. However, due to its cost, it's not something I can easily afford on my own. #AttackOnTitan AOT

[@axolotl_9040]

#aot i love so much how we dont know anything more than the character from the beginning till the third season! Everything that happened we discover it with eren and its amazing, i love obviously armin so much he is so cute and and still kind in every situation, i relate to him so much ! Hope to win thé score !

[@SkillGD]

Great video! :D its an amazing piece and Im always impressed with how good it already sounds after just 1 hour of practice. You´re awesome, keep up the good work! ^^

[@fabianjohn3858]

Das war großartig! :o Ich könnte das nicht mal in 3 Jahren lernen was du da in einer Stunde hingezaubert hast ^^' Ich bin echt beeindruckt liebe Grüße Fabi ^^ #aot my favorite character is of cause mikasa :3

[@ShaoTingChang]

'#AttackOnTItan Loved it! Look forward to hearing you challenge Shinzo wo Sasageyo next time, it's my second favorite piece of the anime behind Guren No Yumiya!

[@jash12per]

I would love to hear your complete cover of this piece. 😍

[@shackamaxon512]

This was fantastic! I really enjoyed it. 3:14 I hear Beethoven. Other parts reminded of Keith Emmerson. You should check out Tarkus by Emmerson Lake and Palmer. I believe there are piano transcriptions of this. I've seen a few scores

[@idancohen4753]

I'd love to see you try more animenz arrangements

[@arthurhaag9434]

0:22 wtf i have never heard someone that doesnt like Season 4, its my favorite. But either way, great video!

[@f-mex5806]

Great episode! I love animenz!

Perfectly relatable! 😂 I also get serious chills every time I listen to these songs ❤‍🔥

Haha! Nice video! I think I love this anime 'cause love his complexity ^^ And btw, I like Reiner a lot ! #AttackOnTian #AOT

[@Tomas-dp3oc]

#AttackOnTitan #AOT 1. I love Animenz 2. I enjoyed the whole aot-series, due to its insane plot-twists, secrets, music, dark-themed colours, etc. 3. My fav. char probably is Erwin. I felt like a soldier myself, when he gave his speech.

[@yxpotato3004]

#AOT i love the depth of the series - the lore and characterisation makes it a very compelling story. favourite character is reiner hahaha

[@bystockidius6759]

Awesome piece. Please do cruel angel thesis from animenz

[@vaels9202]

Haven't seen a lot of #AttackOnTitan but that Marco dude seems really cool.

[@SnowHertz]

for one hour, I’d say that’s a pretty great result. And playing at nearly the same tempo as well #AttackOnTitan

[@code4498]

I really love this anime and believe me it got the best intro's and outro's!!! I simply love the plot twist although whatever they did to my favourite potato girl 😭 AMAZING PLAYING AS ALWAYS and I totally understand your issue with concentration it's just feels so good when you play it yourself❤ #AttackOnTitan

Honestly sounded amazing for an hour! Also if you've ever heard of the Dance of Sabzeruz it's a really pretty piece that I think would sound really nice on piano so I personally recommend it.

[@Hunter-ns9yd]

I hope to see another part, it was a beautiful performance even with the mistakes #AttackOntitan

[@artur6280]

Love your challenge videos. Recently bought piano myself and your tutorial videos helped alot. #AOT

[@f-mex5806]

#Attackontitan i love the atmosphere! ( Don't know if it is how you say it in english 😂) and i love your Channel!

[@idancohen4753]

I love the complicated, heavy, and sometimes brilliant plot with its twists. My favorite character is Hange, a true scout and hero, and yet so human. #AOT #AttackOnTitan

[@michaeldresco7285]

she's my favourite too!

[@byakuya_nati1225]

She dead

[@FurTh3r]

It's incredible, the middle section sounds like a Beethoven piece actually (close to a sonata I would guess). Cool choice for the arrangement by animenz

[@Jpatient]

Sonata 14 3rd mov

[@kaori6602]

We need a you to do a collab with Animenz oneday
