WOW LIKE WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LOL I love AoT ⏩ Video Question: What was the first Anime you watched?? For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony

Yes

Hopefully, with 0 context, he will forget it soon if he's get spoiled in this comments section

[@JakeYolk]

@@reezwave true, also there’s so many things in the show that are surprising that one thing really won’t ruin the experience

[@zamunda-lh2cr]

Memories broken the true go unspoken I even forgotten my name!

[@nullx2368]

What this is about without spoiler: I would say it is BOTH evil and sadness while also trying to convey hopelessness on a grand scale. The face you see was shock to everyone watching where it was pretty unusual and telling you the details would spoil you, but you just expecierenced the same thing we did really. This music happens during the show and it blends perfectly with what is happening on screen to the point you can't focus on just the music even tho it's this epic. As fans of AoT, as we listen this music I'm pretty sure we all remember the scenes running in our heads which shows how perfectly they made the action and music become a one piece :)

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

That is a good comment!

[@noona9193]

Wow this was good and true about what you said, listening to this music I can still see the whole scenes and feel the chills, it's just so good

"That scenery"

[@shiningaquarii4092]

SPOILER it can also be attributed to the conflicting feeling of the rumbling, you want paradis to live, but you don't want to see innocents dying. especially when you stay neutral about choosing a side, because the only thing you see is tragedy after tragedy, and you can only hope for the best

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

3:03 "Super sad or evil" is the perfect description of this scene, and this series quite frankly...

Any questions you asked at the end would be major spoilers lol

[@otaviorodrigues2627]

I know your channel is about music reactions, but it would be sick if you reacted to Attack on Titan. Its truly a masterpiece.

[@papasmjordeig]

Spoiler Free: This soundtrack plays out during the climax of these 4 season. What this story does so well is letting form your own opinions and pick a side. So depending on which side you are on, the face at the end is either the embodiement of evil and destruction, a force that needs to be stopped at all cost. Or it is the face of the saviour of the world, the face of god and maker of peace. To quote an important character: "the only truth in this world is that there is no truth"

[@ThisHandleSystemCanGetNicked]

I would suggest that the climax of the series is pretty adamant about which side is the right side.

[@JoshuaKnab]

The scene that has this peice of music is one of most intense things I have seen on a screen. The music just blows it out of the water 💦

[@andrewmcclare7242]

Highly recommend the show, as I'm sure you're hearing from other comments. It's one of those series where I can watch other people's reactions to it forever and never get tired of it. Make another channel just to do a watch of the show and let us see your reactions, I'd watch every video I swear 😂

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I imagine the editing and amount of time to cut down episodes into reactions is very intense. I am not sure I have the chops for that

"At first it sounds like steam" AHHH, yes...

[@ZeeonOfficial]

Please watch the show. It is probably the best anime to ever exist.

[@scythe9734]

"Footsteps of Doom", "Ashes on the Fire" and "The Other Side of the Sea" are Yamamoto's biggest masterpieces. He did alot of great soundtrack for the Final Season like "Splinter Wolf" and many others that I can't remember their names at the moment, but those three are his best in my opinion. Would love to see your reaction and analysis to "The Other Side of The Sea". Also, the picture at the end is The Villian to some people, The Hero to others, and a Shakespearean tragic character to few.

[@tamara.mw.]

Just watched your other AoT videos and man, the progression from all the openings to this OST.. chills! It's fascinating to me the way all that music tells a story even without watching the show- from themes of freedom and something heroic, to feelings of dread and despair. So it was amazing to learn from you how the different instruments and arrangements express all those emotions! Music is so amazing 🙌

[@desolationrow96]

I've always thought this song reeked of despair the moment I first heard it! The absolute surrendering of the self to unescapable helplessness. The accepting of one's fate and the doom that hovers over everyone at that moment. As a music person and an anime enthusiast, I absolutely love it! Also loving your reviews man. The music nerd in me is always happy seeing your stuff. :)

[@dynamics5960]

Most I can do to answer your question of “who is that and what’s happening?” Without spoiling anything is this: everything has been boiling down to this moment, it is the true endgame of the show. Literally all I can say

This show is a masterpiece and when you're watching some epic scenes the music truly complements it like it literally gives you shivers

AoT genuinely is my favourite show. So much going on, so much world building, INCREDIBLE music, very rewatchable. Every rewatch adds more to it.

[@lindsaymac2913]

I would love to see you react to "Other Side of the Sea" from Attack on Titan. It's more orchestral and has that beautiful swelling and majestic power to it. It's popular amongst listeners but I never see people react to it. I'd love to hear your analysis on it.

Nice video. Very informative analysis! 👍

[@tarazona97]

Why is no one asking for "You see Big girl" that song is a must

It'd be kinda repetitive since it's the instrumental version of apple seed, which he already listened to in the attack on titan suite

[@yingfortheking]

im envious because he gets to experience the terror and immense despair that this music announces and he can only wonder what character is represented with this masterpiece of evil sadness. Its like if you heard whatever Satan's theme song is before knowing who satan is.

Awesome reaction! I love hearing all your knowledge on music, I don't know much I just love how the impressive OST resonates with the show. But you said sometimes this stuff takes multiple listens - I'd be really interested in hearing your thoughts/new ideas after multiple listens. Maybe you could consider editing in a section at the end on your thoughts after more listens? Anyway, I love your content, looking forward to more

[@stephenmacdonald20]

I am so impressed how well you pick out themes and sounds from the show from the instrument choices and layers. Without watching or knowing much you know so much from the show. Makes me wonder how much you'd pick up from the Bloodborne OST. My suggestion would be Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower from that OST

The antagonist and a lot of bar things happening, thats my best spoiler free answer I can come up with

[@crimsonBlair]

I love the whole soundtrack for the four seasons, but there's something with this track and The other side of the sea that I love . Maybe that pause before the final stretch, almost like "I know you're overwhelmed, just a little more and it's done" haha. I'm not sure if I mentioned it in previous comments but thank you for take your time to pause and then rewind a few seconds. I love music and for me that is a must but I don't see many youtubers doing it. And finally, I don't know if someone's told you this already, but you don't need to be an "anime-freak" to enjoy this show. You don't even need to have watched anime before. BUT (and this is a big but in my opinion), the first season, aired almost ten years ago, is hardly representative of how big this story is. Of course, in retrospective it is because every thing that happened has a meaning and a reason, but if you decide to give it a chance, even for yourself and not for the channel, have that in mind because if you start it with the "IT'S THE BEST SHOW EVER WRITTEN" as the only reference, maybe you could feel underwhelmed at first because it seems just a regular show with interesting things here and there.
