Anime HATERS RANK/REACT To EVERY Attack on Titan OPENING&ENDING (UNBELIEVABLE)

[@thebusstop]

Here is the final breakdown of their views according to the average of all of their scores: 1) OP S4.pt2 (10) Rumbling 2) ED S4.pt2 (9.86) Akuma no Ko 3) OP S3.pt1(8.74) 4) OP S1.pt2 (8.66) 5) OP S2 (8.04) 6) ED S1.pt1 (7.96) 7) OP S1.pt1 (7.9) 8) OP S4.pt1 (7.78) 9) OP S3.pt2 (7.36) 10) ED S1.pt2 (7.16) 11) ED S4.pt1 (6.8) 12) ED S2 (6.7) 13) ED S3.pt1(6.66) 14) ED S3.pt2 (6.16) I used Brig's absolute values, not his rankings in the ED's. There is a clear bias towards the Openings (OP) [8.35 average ranking across the board] rather than Endings (ED) [7.32 average across the board]. To break that down further by averages....Carter liked the ED's the most (8.28 ave) and Brig the least (6.32); Carter and Jack tied for liking the OP's the most (8.57 ave), and Cannon liked the OP's the least (7.82). The most generous giver of points (by average) to the least generous is in this order: Carter (8.425), Jack (8.02), Cannon (7.965), Mckay (7.645), and last, Brig (7.4).

[@CarterAndrus]

Wow this is such a good comment!!! I’m gonna pin this

[@thebusstop]

@@CarterAndrus Thanks! Glad to help. By the way, the numbers seem to indicate the battle for anime has not only been decided, but embraced by you and Cannon even more - if it is possible - than its original defenders Mckay and Brig. :) Anways, thanks for your thoughtful interaction with a story that wrestles with some of the deeper questions of human life; y'all have kept it real. Also, I cannot agree more with others that Akuma No Ko - even if only considered through lyrics - is equal with The Rumbling.

Can't believe the 3rd seasons 2nd ending is in last place overall. The song is so impactful for me

@@CarterAndrus you got good taste

[@НикитаСимонян-ж5е]

@@trinh1223 SPOILERS; It would be better if they got more moments in the show instead of songs. I know that this is a tragedy, but even in this case I am not satisfied, and these moments that will be in the final are not enough. Also, the fact that she and Jean have a family disgusts me. I understand that Eren wanted her to have a happy life, lala lala. But when I think that Eren died when she was 19 and she was in bed with Jean until old age, I want to throw myself out the window. I didn't ship her and Eren for this almost from the very beginning of the manga. Thank you at least that they didn't show her family life with Jean and the whole focus was always on Eremika and the scarf, even in the extra pages. But the very thought of it infuriates me.

[@nightwishisthegreatestband6355]

But so far in the anime he showed no feelings for her. There was more chemistry with him and historia in almost every scene they were alone together. It's a beautiful song but i don't see it as romantic.

[@trinh1223]

@@nightwishisthegreatestband6355 Well there are actually a lot of moments where you can see that Eren loves Mikasa. The first one being when he wrapped the scarf around her. If you watch the scene again, you can see that he was blushing. Then when him and Mikasa were about to die in 2x12, Eren was about to give up until Mikasa told him her true feelings and gave him the will to fight again. Mikasa gave him a reason to continue living. His entire view on their relationship changed in that moment. He promised to wrap the scarf around her FOREVER. He even punched Dina's titan as a desperate attempt to save Mikasa. Mikasa was also in the first memory he saw when he got his head blown off. She's clearly the most important person to him, more than anyone else. The reason why he never expressed these feelings is because he didn't understand why Mikasa liked him. It's why he asked her "What am I to you?" and asked Zeke about her feelings as well. Then in paths, he rewatched the memory of him wrapping the scarf around Mikasa and looked sad, cause it was one of his most cherished moments. Isayama had this planned from the beginning.

Under the Tree not being counted as an OP or ED is a travesty. The lyrics are totally Mikasa begging Eren to stop and how sad she is with what he's doing. I practically cry when the "WHY OH WHY" part starts. It's heartbreaking. You guys have to do an amendment to the rankings to add it.

[@astolfo4023]

I had to lower my rating for every op and ed just for under the tree to be an 11/10. I also cried. As a manga reader, the foreshadowing in one of the lines is f*cking INSANE, it has made me cry multiple times. Such a perfect ending to a perfect piece of art.

[@sutayabe]

The opening really grows on me the more I listen to it. For me, It blasted the transitioning experience from Season 3 ending to a whole new level season 4 . Seeing Eren getting fked up mentally and the last big jigsaw piece at final episode of season 3, I was thinking "Things are about to go crazy on the other side of the sea" with opening. And yep the song is weird, but it gives the precise message and feels for Season 4.

[@NTav540]

[@aamish.]

The fact that there is forshadowing of the future even when the manga wasnt out for that part is absolutely mindblowing. This goes to show truly a genius Isayama really is

[@blader36850]

One comment I read thst I have no idea if true or not is the first panel and final panel of the manga were drawn at the same time. So the author knew where he wanted to go it was just a matter of getting there. Like I said though it's literally just something I saw in a comment so could be fake as hell but if true is cool as shit

[@Victor-um9ce]

ED 4 or the Historia ED also says "The world is cruel yet beautiful" which is pretty interesting.

[@user-di8bc7zw2y]

The reason why I like this particular scene so much is because when she says "beautiful," it showed him wrapping the scarf around her, and with Akuma no Ko it was like he was saying I love you back to her. Was not expecting a heartbreaking love story from this series but they sure did deliver.

As a manga reader, I remember watching the endings and watching as the fandom dissected and analyzed everything to figure out what would probably happen later in the manga. The fandom was going crazy over the visuals and lyrics and all the secret meanings. Rewatching them now after having finished everything, it’s crazy who much they foreshadowed since the beginning. I also remember listening to Akuma no ko for the first time as it first aired and how much I teared up over it. Truly one of the best endings

“悪魔の子 (Akuma no Ko),” also known as “Child of Evil' is a song by ヒグチアイ (Ai Higuchi) that is being used as the ending song for 進撃の巨人 (Attack on Titan) Final season part 2. Through Higuchi’s deep yet penetrating voice, the song is written from the perspective of Eren Yeager which are reflected throughout the MV as well as the lyrics. It depicts Eren’s personal growth, inner battle, and the philosophy behind his actions and perfectly echos the first ED of AoT “美しき残酷な世界 (Utsukushiki Zankokuna Sekai)” where it was sung from the perspective of Mikasa Ackerman. Also, on Ai Higuchi's same album, there is a song called まっさらな大地 (Massarana Daichi / "Brand New Land") with lyrics about Mikasa's feelings for Eren. ** Lyrics ** "Hey As long as you smile by my side That’s enough for me So please, lower your arm For just how long Have you been protecting? It’s only now I’ve noticed I’m sorry I can’t apologize Children cry For their parents Just how far will we go before we make it? Is this the freedom you spoke of? When my scars ache and my friends’ faces come to mind Then I wonder if I’ll be able to say That the flowers blooming in a brand-new land are beautiful Hey If the words you once chose were wrong Then I wonder If the future would change I’m the only one who understands you With nothing more than that thought I could live strong I’m sorry, I want to forgive you But with things like this I know I’ll end up alone Just how far will we go before we’re connected? Your heart is so far in the distance Just how far will we go before we make it? Is this the freedom you spoke of? When my scars ache and my friends’ faces come to mind Then I wonder if I have the right to say That the flowers blooming in a brand-new land are beautiful I won’t be able to smile Until that brand-new land overflows with life once more Source: www.lyrical-nonsense.com/global/lyrics/higuchi-ai/massara-na-daichi/english/ Music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eomQqI1ul8iibac"

[@jv_ion]

Might be a hot take but S2's first ending is actually my top 3 favs, not just cuz of the insane foreshadow, but the horror visualization it was going for suits the series' theme really well, and the song radiates tragic historical events flashing before our eyes, like war. But the song still chooses to have a cheerful, nostalgic vibe to it. It slaps.

[@SalvatoreGaetanoParkour]

In this particular scene, 14:39 it is not the Great Titan War; it is the Fall of Lago, an event that happened approximately 1,200 years ago. Lago was a large Marleyan coastal city that was destroyed by the Eldian Empire in a single day. After what happened to Lago, the Eldian Empire also attacked the cities of Monte and Valle. These events are known in AOT lore as the Devastation of Monte and the Ravaging of Valle. Hundreds and thousands of Marleyans were killed. In the anime, Zeke's grandparents discussed this event. The title of the episode is Sole Salvation.

Under the tree tells the tale through Mikasa's eyes, it doesn't spoil anything new.

Very happy Carter loves Akuma no Ko so much!! I have the exact same sentiment about it, hearing it for the very first time and seeing the lyrics as an "answer from Eren to Mikasa" + the abandoned places and happy child Eren made me tear up. I jokingly first said "there's no way they can top this ending?? How will they do that?", but honestly this series always topped itself haha. It seemed like the perfect ending to the series, but now I feel kinda glad there isn't really another "ending" as a follow up like that. I think I even like some of the more fan-translated lyrics for the last sentence more, though they carry the same meaning. "The right thing to do is to have ironclad faith in myself" love it.

Yeah, that ending with Eren and the island in ruins hits me hard - especially at the climax of the song.

[@r6mon]

“this world is cruel, but i still love you” with that transition and seeing child Eren hit so hard man i got tears 😭

[@lizzie9977]

I'm glad you all collectively agree that Rumbling was the best out of all of them. Like the animation, lyrics, melody, just all of it was immaculate💯

[@EmmarainePink]

"Why is Christa there?" Because the Royal Family is technically not on the side of the people of the Walls, remember? They hid the truth. Also, Great Escape will always be a bop. And the lyrics, "If we say that I am not me, then how can you be sure that you are you?" And now we know that Eren is literally an amalgamation of all the other Attack Titans. And then the camera panning from one side of the wall (Sasha, Jean, Connie and E.M.A trio) and then to the other side (Ymir, Historia, and Annie, Bert and Reiner) is an absolute masterpiece. One side who is honest, and one who are hiding something.

UNDER THE TREE NEXT OPENING SEASON 4 PART 3

[@jonashvilstedmoussa4629]

This show is so ridiculously good

[@cry9438]

Am I the only one who ranked Opening 2 as my number 1 song? Jiyuu no Tsubasa "Wings of Freedom". The military anthem intro to sudden guitar riff, the eargasmic chorus, the hype. All of it is 10/10.

[@JotaroKujo_JJBA]

My War is my favorite op, it's different from other op songs, it gives that "back to reality, war has started/no hope for peace" vibe. and Requiem der Morgenröte is my favorite ending, especially in S3 part 1 in that final creepy scene with Levi, Mikasa and Eren, damn, that scared the shit out of me 😂

I think it'd be a great idea for you guys to do a video rewatching and commenting on your top AOT moments, like Reiner/Bertholt's reveal, Levi vs Kenny, Erwin's speech/march, Levi vs Beast Titan, Declaration of war, Eren starting the rumbling... I mean, I rewatch those moments at least once a week and I love them SO much lol.

[@krtkjkr]

It's my favorite one! 😭 All the references in music and lyrics. Linked Horizon will always be higher for me than the later OPs

[@carstan62]

They're all absolutely fantastic, but this would be my list. Oh, and I'm keeping openings and endings separate, because they have different purposes, and because I'm biased towards exciting, hype things that tend to be used more in openings. Openings: 1) S4 P2 The Rumbling is literally perfect. Visually, the focus being on Eren really builds on his portrayal throughout S4 P1. So much of S4 P1 was spent going "What's the deal with Eren now?" and this opening is literally answering those questions both with the visuals and the lyrics of the song. It's got enough metal to really make you wanna headbang, but not so much that it would scare away people who don't care for heavy metal. The song is perfectly on-brand for the show as well, and it helps to build up tension for the rumbling in the later half of its run-time. 2) S2 SASAGEYO SASAGEYO, SHINSOU WO SASAGEYOOOO!!!!! Honestly all I can say here is that I am physically incapable of not singing along with this song. Linked Horizon also gets free points for establishing a good chunk of what AOT should sound like. Visually, there's a lot of really cool action, but the stampede of animals being so weird is the one thing that drags it down a little bit. 3) S1 P2 Another great Linked Horizon song with exciting visuals. The marching band tune at the beginning is a great way of tying it in with the heavy emphasis on the military in the show. 4) S1 P1 = S4 P1 The original opening gets points for being iconic, exciting, and having just enough of a mysterious tone to really sell someone on the series, but honestly it doesn't look great and it's the only opening song on this list that I don't have on a playlist. Mappa's first attempt at an ending is right there. It does a good job instantly telling the viewer that things are drastically changing in this season and establishing new questions. I think it does its job well, but just like S1 P1, I'm just not particularly a fan of the song and the visuals are slightly more abstract than I'd like. 5) S3 P1 = S3 P2 Part 1's opening really just doesn't fit the show. I like the song and I think both the song and visuals are beautiful, but it would actually mislead someone about what the show is about if that's their first exposure. It doesn't tell you what to expect, it doesn't tell you what has already happened, and the music is in direct contradiction with the events of the show. Part 2's opening has the opposite problem. It's also a good song, and Linked Horizon's signature tone fits quite well with the show. The problem is that it's more of the same. It's TOO safe. It doesn't stand out compared to the other Linked Horizon openings visually or musically. Furthermore, it's the only opening I'd actually say straight up spoils the season. Endings: 1) S4 P2 Pretty much everything I said about The Rumbling answering our questions about Eren from S4 P1 also applies here, but it gets bonus points for referencing the first ending and for its awesome symbolism. The song also just sounds great. Much of what I'm about to say about S1 P1 also applies here as well. 2) S1 P1 Maybe I'm nostalgic for this one, or maybe S4 P2 is making me subconsciously raise it up, but I really like this one. It's extremely artistic and beautiful yet sad. My favorite quote from the whole series is when Mikasa says in S1 Ep7 "This world is cruel, yet also beautiful." I think this quote is an extremely important message in the series and this ending perfectly encapsulates that. Furthermore, I'm giving it bonus points because the fact that it focuses so heavily on Mikasa really helps sell the idea in episodes 6 and 7 that Eren might actually have died and the Mikasa will take over as the main character with Eren being significant for his influence on her. 3) S1 P2 = S3 P1 For S1 P2, I dig the exciting music and there's a TON of symbolism, especially symbolism that's only recognizable in hindsight. Not a lot else to say; it gets you pumped to go to the next episode. SASAGEYO SASEGEYO, SHINSOU WO SASAGEYO!!! All jokes aside, S3 P1 has a great song paired up with visuals of the most important characters of the arc. It's interesting that they chose to put the signature Linked Horizon sound in the ending rather than the opening, but I think that's more to the detriment of the S3 P1 opening than its ending. Also, the S3 P2 teaser was nutty. 4) S2 = S4 P1 S4 P1's ending has a beautiful song and focuses on the kids from Marley in a way that is symbolic of Eren's fall from grace as the protagonist. Before S4, Eren had the moral high ground, but at this point, Falco pretty much takes his place in that respect. The fact that S2 spoiled so much EVEN for MANGA READERS at the time was absolutely nutty, but it does it in a tasteful way that just makes everyone confused and excited at the same time. Unfortunately, I'd never go out of my way to listen to the song. 5) S3 P2 It seems like their goal was show how the characters got to this point, but the fact that pretty much everything was from their training days just felt like it was missing the mark.

[@FariaLeo]

I'm honestly shocked that most people don't like S3 PT2 OP, because that's my favorite one by a mile. It's true it's flooding with spoilers, but when I watched the Shiganshina arc I was so freaking HYPED with everything that was happening, and every time I listen to that song, somehow those feelings come crashing down at me all at once. Those shots with Levi unsheathing his swords, Reiner and Bertholt's fist bump, Eren smashing Reiner's face, MAN, those visuals give me chills every time... I love that arc SO much! Also, because I'm usually so clueless when watching, those spoilers didn't actually impact me, because I don't think I caught on anything at the time lol.

[@yasminnn8]

Yes! I love the song and the visuals. And the spoilers are out of context so I thought it was fun to finally be able to point them out every time I started a new episode and realize what they've included in the op.

Guys, I definitely recommend « 13 winters « sung by Mikasa’s VA! The 13 winters obviously referring to the 13 years a Titan shifter has left to live, it gives a lot of insight into Mikasa’s feeling and thoughts for Eren On top of that, it’s a banger song

[@fariskhattab8691]

The end scene in OP 3 where the beast titan running with all these creatures is actually a reference to the beast titan's ability .. so you see the beast titan isn't just a monkey , the inheritor is the one that can get any animal for example Zeke was a monkey and Mr.Xsaver was a goat ( there was a forshoadowing in s4 ep15 called "Sole Salvation") that's why Mr.Xsaver told Zeke that his titan wasn't very useful in war. So all these creatures you see in this OP is showing you what are differenet forms of The Beast Titan. Insane actually

I will never be able to get over the fact that basically the entire story is shown in season 2's ending before it was even shown in the manga, we're shown Founder Ymir's backstory before we even knew she existed, we're shown the rumbling before we even hear that phrase, it's just my favourite piece of foreshadowing in any piece of media ever.
