Hey, please DON'T watch the trailer of the 4th season. It is great, but full of spoiler. If you have to watch, watch it after 1st episode of 4th season. Great reaction by the way.

In all seriousness he could easily submit a passing PhD thesis about it if his discussions were transcribed and edited to form a single piece.

[@zaphyros2518]

Nah, he knows the story and he's just pretending. The second he told his theory about the smiling titan, I knew this guy is pretending. There is no way you would think about that unless somebody spoiled it for you or you knew the story!

[@qqNai]

@@zaphyros2518 Nope. There will be times where his theories just nails it in the head, that’s all. But of course some theories will be relatively close or just outright wrong, that’s just part of the process of theorizing.

He's on point, and after watching his analysis, most of the other reactors just doesn't hold up. The only one I like, that I can think off the top of my head is Jake and SOS Bros. SOS bros for the fact that they react to other heavy anime, like Monster and Legend of Galatic Heroes. I actually feel like he would like the two series too. The only issue is that they're super long.

[@sebox2228]

Lmfaooo that’s why we love him

[@_FILMBuFF_]

😆 yeh the smile and nod has become a reoccurring theme of this reaction series. Though I did allow myself to get really excited about one of my main theories being confirmed in the next episode! I feel that it’s tacky to make a massive deal out of getting something right, so usually it’s a smile and nod 😄

[@DATskorge]

@@_FILMBuFF_ I think that it speaks to how consistent and well laid out the hints and turning points are in this story. Very rarely do we seem to get the treat of being able to form such powerful theories based on the merest crumbs of information very far in advance. And then we have guys like you with a 10 in your Perception stat who point out clever details and connections placed by Isayama which many of us weren't even aware of after years of study.

Some references/foreshadowing that society outside the walls was advanced (some you missed some you caught): Whenever they show a flashback of Armin showing Eren and Mikasa his book that talks about the sea, one of the illustrations in the book depicts a barrel of oil. This implies the book was created during an industrial era Ymir finding the can of herring. Not only does the existence of canned food imply an industrialized society, but herring itself is a salt water fish, found only in the sea. Also can you imagine the amount of bricks Reiner was sh*ting for him to suddenly realize Ymir could read that language while he was in the middle of his Soldier persona lmao In Ymir's flashback, the weapons the police use are more advanced than the guns in the walls (and that was 60 years ago) The Warriors drinking coffee Zeke using baseball terms This one is more of a translation error, but when Ymir questions Reiner and Berutoto about the Beast Titan, she refers to it as a monkey. Eren's internal monologue in the anime made it sound like he didn't know what they were talking about, which was partly true. What he really meant was that he had no idea what the word "monkey" was. This one is more speculation, but the reason Grisha was able to cure everyone of the plague was because of his more advanced medical knowledge.

[@annaairahala9462]

That last point isn't speculation... He was able to cure the plague because of his advanced medical knowledge. I have a theory though that is pure speculation, that Grisha was the one who unintentionally brought the plague along with him, something the outside world already had and gained resistance to, but the walls were isolated from and thus susceptible to it

[@Imaweirdnormalist]

[@nusry1010]

@@annaairahala9462 that is true. I’ve been thinking the same thing few years back but somehow nobody mentioned it. Glad to see someone mentioned about it.

[@sleepyfox8983]

Thanks for listing those. I hadn't considered the saltwater fish aspect or that Eren has never seen or needed to understand what a monkey was.

[@kima_95]

I've seen another person mention that the birds we've been seeing since season one are indigenous to ocean specific areas, hence the Wallist proximity to the sea and that being a hint to better understand their location geologically. As I'm not knowledgeable on the different types of bird and the rules of animal migration, I can't confirm this but I thought it was another interesting thing to note. 👀

Since you were wondering about it, Grisha died when he was 39 years old. I love that this episode really lets us breath and reflect on what has led up to this point. The story post basement is gonna be a whole other experience, which is also why I really like that they put the ending before we got that glimpse at Grisha's childhood. You could really feel that we just entered a new world. Especially the OST they used for that scene, it was pretty much unlike anything we've heard up to that point.

[@SolidJCP]

The OST in the flashback is the same from armins death scene, but is a guitar only version. In a way AoT as we knew it died at that moment and was reborn just like armin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJvNlJ6Onqx1ra8

[@Annatar_the_admirable]

That was a pretty damn great discussion already, I expect next week will be supremely entertaining. You're not wrong to divide the series into before the basement and after. Isayama has worked some magic with this story. I appreciate you taking the time to talk about the rest of the episode too, especially the trek through the city. Some people call it filler but you said it well when you called it breathing room. And I think most of this episode is really gorgeous in a somewhat understated way.

[@TheLexiconArtist]

The look at the abandoned Shiganshina was heartbreaking for me the first watch, especially the music. Definitely not filler.

[@DBT1007]

people that call some arc or scenes in shingeki no kyojin as FILLER are dumb people. Like really.. each scenes are actually THE STORY. Even Jean's Cooking OVA, the Ilse's Notebook, etc. it's all not filler. it's important. in fact, there is no scenes in shingeki no kyojin that we can relax. they always have intense and serious atmosphere. and also no time to get horny. unlike lot of anime.. there are like.. relax time, beach sexy time, etc.

[@DATskorge]

Is it coincidence that those even using the word "filler" would be accustomed to 800 episode bloated shitshows and also appear to be casual snk viewers who don't think the quieter episodes through properly? Probably not coincidence, no. I have friends like this who play games at the same time as "watching" and have the audacity to call parts of shows like this "slow". It's plainly just lazy mass-consumption viewership and seems to comprise a particular subset of the general anime audience.

[@Orapac4142]

Man the filler shit is annoying as hell. Like yeah, the action scenes are great and exciting, but it's not they only thing. These scenes are what let the audience and characters catch their breath and think on shit, let's us get connected to them on a more personal level than just "haha they kick ass good!"

[@khaalmalki4039]

Use the power of the titans to completely bitch out the Marleyans on the battlefield. And B. Enslave people, *including many of his own people*. Which is just such a historically realistic and biblical sounding way of looking at it. They were a warring nation in the dark ages that used a power to their advantage just like their enemies would have. Because we were kind of all savages back then. And that’s the point of the story. This is just another conflict from 2,000 years ago that shouldn’t matter, it only continued to be what it was because of the supernatural threat of the titans. However it’s realistically the same threat that Marley and many other nations already, STILL to this day pose to each other. There is never any justification from any ancestry that can justify this. That is the point of the Tory. And the cycle of terrorism.

@@nickholcomb2220 more spoilers (kind of): I get what you’re saying but if someone told me today that there’s an island somewhere in the world on which there are people who can turn into monsters, my first thought would probably be that they pose a threat to the rest of humanity. Even if I’m not told that they did something in the past I would still feel threatened, it’s just human nature I guess.

I'm glad you waited to watch the OP until this point. While I didn't see many people complain that much about it, I feel that it (along with the episode 12 post-credit scene) allows viewers to map out what turns out to be the first six episodes of this part. While it mainly reveals future action sequences, the worst part I feel is the revelation of Armin acquiring the Colossal Titan. At least the main ED and the one-off EDs are all excellent. What did you think of the OP? I liked the walk through Shiganshina and it concluding with the Grisha flashback. It provides a kind of reverse portrayal of his character development; from absent, revolutionary father to one who knows "the most important thing of all." The walk also parallels the Fay and Grisha flashback; Eren and Mikasa reminisce on the good old days and "that day," and then Grisha's flashback starts on what seems to start on "the good old days," with Fay and Grisha being sweet and chasing a zeppelin. However, the walls, guards, and armbands foretell doom in the future. The scene transitioning from Hange to Grisha speaking is a great moment. Grisha will finally tell his son his story, the "truth of this world."

Based on the car, their garb, and the Zeppelin (which was used very early in the 20th century) I would say that it feels more like the 1910s. Early 1930s at the very latest, but I wouldn't even put it there. The Zeppelin looks a bit more like earlier models, too.

What starts as and remains a story of perspective on people being oppressed by monsters. It now evolves into something else. An alternate emotional and twisted look and discussion of the hive mindsets that allow genocide, and the endless cycle of war and terrorism that we see ourselves still trapped in to this day. This show is a fantastic dark cautionary tale. Welcome to the real story my friend, I absolutely can not wait to hear your opinions and theories to come.

Found you like 1 week ago and already watched almost every reaction of attack on Titan. Waiting all the time for the new reactions. Keep it up Brother!

[@noxc4392]

For the first time, I felt that you could not express your theory and opinions :) also i like to knew what you think that outside the walls would be look like? you said this wasn't the thing you thought. i really enjoy watching your reaction, it feels good that see other people understand the things that you understood, thank you.

[@JanzockerHD]

oh damn we getting that 4 hours episode today

[@matthewwhittaker208]

Been waiting for this on KZbin. Thank you for the amazing reactions 🙏🙏

[@sonutanty4898]

Literally the best discussion i've ever seen...

[@fahralyacoub8970]

The basement definitely lived up to and even surpassed the hype, imo.

[@JD-jl4yy]

And, Filmbuff, did you enjoy the prologue of aot? ;)

[@matiaspereyra9392]

Ohhh, that blimp scene, I felt a high because of all of the tech possibilities and then almost immediately felt the opposite (not a down but a negative high) because of the tech possibilities and technology gap

[@Angel..L]

Man that end credit scene always gets me the music is incredible. Seeing it animated still feels unbelievable.

[@Serpillard]

"So you see, there are other humans outside the walls." "Yay !" "But, huh, they're basically nazis." "... Fuck."

[@bensanchez8123]

Was looking forward to your reaction to this and the next episode. You don't disappoint!

[@IngeniousNinja]

"After this point its always going to be before the basement, and after the basement" Couldn't have said it more accurately. Normally I'd say "strap in" but you've actually already seen the next couple of episodes sooo

[@Pi2po]

I can't wait for the next episode, that could be maybe the best reaction analysis of this channel :-p

[@DeathTheKidR00]

Been waiting for this my guy

[@shawol373]

The more anime you watch the more references to what seems like Nazi Germany. I think it reflects a lot on Japan's position in WWII and even furthers it when you see how the USA tends to be depicted in anime. Many popular anime like AOT, even Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood seem to show some of these themes.

[@Famin999]

Somehow, waiting 1 week for the next episode feels more torturous than waiting 1+ year for Season 3 part 2, lol

[@gretaraffa8419]

other reactors: a family photo? That's crazy I wonder what that means FILMBuFF: okei so that's Zeke for sure

[@joaovitordemelo8209]
