[@georgieacero7043]

There's something so beautifully eerie about the third outro that just really brings me way back. Way back to when I knew nothing, most people knew nothing. It was all so shrouded in mystery, and the visuals left so many questions and now they are the answers. It's so crazy how this song legitimately kind of makes me nostalgic for the characters, the story, the AOT world but also for MY world, my old self, the one that at a tender age watched this and was so enthralled and still is with this series. I think this has to be my favorite outro. So strangely eerie, evil, and so beautiful.

[@sebyyeager-7538]

perfectly said.

[@kisaragi8745]

ED 3 captures the huge overarching mystery aspect of the series the most out of any op/ed in the anime, theres always facts/mysteries about the world in the series that people dont know and the whole aspect of [SPOILERS] The medieval manuscript styled story of Ymir and it's spin on her receiving the powers from the devil show how (assuming as a hypothetical that the manuscript images actually existed in-universe as history for the Eldians) puts on display how no one knows the truth of the world they live in, then again I doubt the Eldians themselves would have depicted their Founder as inherting powers from the devil so it's likely that those manuscripts of Ymir and her children devouring her were made by marleyans or another civilization that got subjugated by the Eldians, idk where I'm going with this tbh but suffice to say I love the world of AoT even if a large majority of it is pretty obscured in terms of world building for like 90% of the series, something about the blend of the similar progression of our own history (cause no lore can really be better then our own) with the primordial/fantasy aspect of the Titans is such a great setting. Sorry that was a whole lot of words, I'm not the best at putting it out well.

[@Lazycloud978]

Ending 3 isn't everybody's favourite but it's the one with the deepest message. It basically references a lot of future events in the show that's unknown to the viewers. You'll only get to appreciate Ending 3 when you're almost done with the show. It really shows how much the writer planned and foreshadowed events which is kinda the beauty of AOT.

[@cristinsunshine1067]

The openings in aot : EPICCC the endings : depressing and disturbing since season 1.The endings reveal the true nature of the story. The openings are trying to distract you.

[@kevyato1599]

Great way to put it

[@thenicesven5328]

I always saw it as: The OP is painting the picture of the specific Season/arc and setting the tone While the ED is painting the much greater picture that is the entire story as a whole

[@_khish]

True. But while watching the show, it feels otherwise. You are especially right in this case because of plotting of AOT.

[@Cohow]

How abt Ed 2?

[@amansinghrathore2344]

The openings give you the story, but the endings describe the emotions of each season

[@hundvd_7]

Ending 3 is definitely very unique. As you said, you will start appreciating more once you see it in context. _However,_ very uniquely, said context does not come with the season it plays in, but near the end of the story

[@nestorv7627]

This ending peeks into the future of the story, just like the Attack Titan

[@gntlmonst0427]

@@nestorv7627 wow

[@overlordcat6869]

@@nestorv7627 that wasn't the future, that was the past. Spoilers: I think it was showing the war between Eldia and Marley when Eldia used the titan powers to conquer Marley. You'd especially be able to notice this with the shot of the 3 girls eating Ymir's flesh below the first king to pass on the founding titan. Really a genius ED. when you're watching it at the time, you think it's about how titans almost wiped out humanity until the walls were built. But when you finish the story, you know it's actually about the acts of Eldians against Marley. Ties in with the whole point of the show. When you first watch it, you feel sorry for 'humanity' (Eldians), but later on you realise the people shown were actually Marleyans.

[@sobrenomenome1286]

@@overlordcat6869 actually I do think that the depicitons of the past would be the normal titan shifters seeing their (forgot what the opposite of succesor is) and what they did. however I do think at least part of the ED represents the attack titan's trait since in a scene the rumbling is shown and by what I remember eren's rumbling was the first rumbling

[@LeoJay]

Nice ending. Your stopping is never frivolous. You are really giving awareness to arrangement details that we might not pay enough attention to notice - or even recognize - without a professional explaining. And the fact you are responding to the enjoyment and not just being mechanically technical, makes it even more fun and helps us enjoy the pieces we know down another layer. That's why I'm subscribed to you after just a couple of vids. Lots more music to watch!

While ending 7 is a masterpiece in so many ways and a majority favorite, ending 6 is the one that will always stick with me and touches me in a really profound way. I feel like its painfully but beautifully wistful atmosphere truly captures the feeling of the unfortunate, inevitable future ahead. How so many nameless characters in this show who may not have had any true screentime are still caught in this fate without any choice. How their departure from the world will likely go by silently and unnoticed. Still, they were here, led meaningful lives, and should be remembered.

Honestly though! Don't even make a big deal about the visuals spoiling you! It doesn't spoil anything as long as you don't have context about it or stare at each frame of the visuals too much. As a veteran Anime Watcher, the reason they create this openings/outro is unlike western shows, not just a refresher but to hype up the season/arc. People only say it's spoilers because they already watched further into the anime, without context it's not something to make fuss about. Not appreciating the visuals of the OP/ED is kinda sad, cuz it dances with the music

[@vergil8833]

I love how weird the 3rd ending is. It's when the deeper hints really start creeping to the surface. The unerving sound of it just really sets the tone for whats to come. Like, it's the sound of wanting to know secrets you wished you never knew in the end. The feeling of the music itself is kind of like black metal. On the surface it is harsh and unpleasant, but then theres an atmosphere within it which seems completely unique. I haven't heard alot of black metal admittedly, but this is the case for the band Burzum at least. Unpleasent sounds with an unforgettable mood. Thats what the 3rd ending feels like to me.

If you make it till the end of it and end up as emotionally invested as most of us are, even if your thing is more the musical construction and not the lyrics, my recommendation is that (again, after you finish watching) you to re-listen with lyrics included, because idk, maybe it's the soft spot talking, but I think the lyrics in all the songs from the soundtrack, not only openings and endings, are big part of how awesome this work is. Take care and thanks for this videos!

Absolutely LOVE ending 3 especially with the imagery. Brings so much inkling to a deeper lore of the story that you're unaware of at that point watching the show. I just remember feeling so excited to learn the importance of the imagery in that outro for later in the show and the music just elevates the feeling of "there's an intense history here you have no idea and you're about to find out".

Tony I love your channel man. Your videos are very relaxing and soothing. I love the whole breakdown process and how you make me listen to some of the underlying notes in these pieces of music that I wasn't really paying attention to before. It's also nice to hear as you explain some of the stuff that is going on in the background and take the focus of the lyrics for a while. I really enjoy your content man. Keep doing what you do.

When you get to season 4 part 2, I recommend you listen to the ending "Akuma no ko" with the lyrics, they are so meaningful and convey so well things that aren't necessarily that clearly said regarding Eren's character and his motivations or mindset. It really hit different and makes me cry almost every time, this anime really has everything from great animation studios, genius composers, some of the best voice actors to amazing openings and endings that compliment the show very well. Hope you enjoy your watching experience !!

[@mauromatoschanel469]

I follow some KZbin reacters and as far as anime music concerns, Tony is the best one. Really digs into the music! Great job Tony 🙂

[@arkan5000]

I love your reactions, i dont mind at all that you go back, it means you get to really appreciate details.

[@corneliustaifu5681]

I love listening to these properly for the first time with someone as skilled as you to talk me through the various musical nuances. I hardly heard these when watching the show, since I skipped them to immediately binge the next episode lol

[@420BLADES]

He should do another reaction to these after watching the show.

[@ractmo]

Man you are really smart, I have never seen someone who broke music like this. Must have done immense work with music in the past, that made you so responsive to the tiniest changes in chords. Simply amazing 👏

[@dracocrusher]

On ED3, specifically... Yeeaaahhhh, I'd say 'false/distorted happiness' is a really good way to explain the vibe they're going for. It's not going to make sense for a really long time, but it's pretty easy to pick up on this ending showing the backstory of the series. To get more into details and kind-of spoilers: This is the story of an ancient king who forced his children to eat the original Titan to inherit their powers to conquer the land and unite everyone. So it's very 'happy' because they're winning, but it's also a sort-of "We won, but at what cost?" type of thing and there's a lot of lasting harm that's done from the fallout of those events. Like this is literally why Titans are even a thing, they're people who were turned into monsters for this goal who MASSIVE SPOILERS eat people to try to find the one rare person with Titan-shifting powers so that they can be human again. So we see the king and his plans, we see the aftermath, and then everyone has to run away and establish the walls. All while, again, MASSIVE SPOILERS, the first king's consciousness remains, ruling the kingdom in the shadows and keeping everyone isolated with good-intentioned lies and deception that bring an era of peace while stifling the people's freedoms. It's VERY distorted/happy.

[@lamyten]

mmh your analysis never dissapoint me, i'd love to see you react to more attack on titan content,ost or serie

[@ej191]

Im glad the Endings get appreciation they deserve! especially the last 2 are just soo good ^^

[@Drksvnt7109]

Finally! The video I've been waiting for since your project emU reaction vid, just 35 more hours

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

This was pretty fun to do tbh

[@MM-tk4mv]

Oh man I can't stop rewatching this video It just reminds me why I like every ed song in this show So thank you for the great job 😁

[@cristelarts]

I love how you explain it for us non-musicians, like what has happened and why you like the music so much. We're learning from those explanations 👍❤️❤️

[@patrickazzarella6729]

The Last Two endings always make me cry these came put just before/just after the Manga and series ended. It hurts so much, hopefully when the day comes you finish the show next year you'll look back to the second to final ED

[@mjeezyca]

Man when it cuts ending 3 after episode finsihing episode 26 is one of the most creep and weird feelings ever felt

[@gabrielbencito8619]

Yaaaaaaaaaay! XD I love how you analyzed and enjoyed all the ending songs of Attack on Titan... how you listen to every sound made me feel more passionate again in music writing... Thank you so much! I also recommend listening to Re Zero Openings and Endings... 🙏 Looking forward for more music reactions (especially for the animes that I have already watched XD) Thank you again!

[@ness43011]

I really enjoy these types of videos they're so informative. I'd really love to see his reactions to the episodes lol

[@noahotk2915]

Im really glad that i found your channel I'm not an expert in music but i know that ur analysis is great Anime osts are way too underrated outside anime community So knowing opinions from an expert really makes me happy I might be being selfish but can u do these osts , it would be great Osts from devilman crybaby especially "devilman no uta","buddy, ryo","wired","behind the scenes","smells blood","satan","crybaby" And osts from berserk "4 gatsu","my brother(definitive version","ash crow","aria" I'm sorry for being so selfish. Im not an expert but i know that these are genius Every berserk and devilman crybaby fan will love it Thanks for the content And I don't mind u pausing LOL

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

It's not selfish to be helpful and informative. Thanks for the info.

[@Bo_0]

Seconding the devilman crybaby rec, truly amazing stuff. Underrated even within the anime community :)

[@pspublic13]

Would you consider doing reaction videos for AoT episodes themselves? I would love to hear your reactions not only to the story and characters, but also to the music that is paired with the important moments in the show and how that affects you emotionally as a viewer. Also your thoughts on how the music progresses through different seasons/arcs with the visuals would be fascinating as well.

[@MrEmatthewh]

Thanks for pointing out the things i’ve never even noticed before! Ending 6 and 7 are definitely my favorite

[@lucas_lipp]

I love that you actually take your time to pause and rewind to understand and explain stuff. I know you disclaim that at the beginning, but I think that's what really gives a lot of value to your reactions, so I really appreciate it. I really like most of these endings. The third one, which I'm not too fond of, just listening to it, actually works incredibly well in setting that uncomfortable atmosphere and fits what's shown, and kind of also what's happening in the series at that time really well, so it's a great choice I'd say. I think it's also the favorite band of Isayama, the guy who wrote the manga, and they did the 6th opening, which I really like. I have endigs 1, 4 and 7 in a playlist because I really love them, I should probably add 6, too, but I always forget to do that. But endings 4 and 7, so Akatsuki no Requiem and Akuma no Ko are really amazing and I love them a lot. 4 has this kind of childlike levity until it transitions to the victorious but still chill orchestral sound, rephrasing motives from opening 3, and maybe others, I just didn't notice. It really fits the story and I love the style of animation for that ending that looks like a medieval wood work. And 7 has just an amazing overall quality to it that kind of represents freedom and the longing for it and I also find the actual lyrics (or at least the translation) incredibly interesting. I think it's really interesting how it transitions from this catchy, fast, rap like beginning to this soaring, soft melody, finally moving to this sweeping freedom seeking orchestral part at the end. It's great. The full versions of the two are also really interesting to listen to.

[@max83273]

Here my suggestions for further reactions (from Attack on Titan): 1.SymphonicSuite[AoT]Part1-3rd:BARRIchestra. It is a Track from the 3rd season. 2. TWO-lives from the 2nd season (it is not that popular but it has a lot of cool variety in it) 3. ELO from the final season part 2 If you want to try tracks from a different series from the Aot composers I would really like reactions to the 86 soundtrack, especially 1. SPEARHEAD 2. Voices of the Chord

[@HaydenCLU]

86 is peak fiction good recommendation

[@someone-jl4sj]

ThanksAt is amazing as well

[@KevinNguyen-te5cm]

Part 2-1st aot (wmid) is also amazing. The singer goes an extra note higher than the original

[@KevinNguyen-te5cm]

@max2812 have you read the 86 light novels? I'm on Volume 10

[@kuatt4261]

86 OST Slaps Hard !!!

[@user-zt5qo3jd9b]

Nice reactions... It's so good to see someone reacting to music with this quality of listening! You've liked like mostly all Linked Horizon songs (OP1 2 3 5 and ED4)! All songs were written and composed by Revo, the singer, since Linked Horizon is his solo project. You may like Linked Horizon and also Sound Horizon (his other project when doing non-tieup music) songs, consider doing reactions to his albums!

[@unnamed2877]

I’m absolutely loving your channel! You remind me of my High School percussion director!!

[@jonnychill711]

The analysis is always so interesting, thank you very much for the insights and it's always cool to see new people appreciating these masterpieces. I would say tho the songs here sometimes are cut short cause the endings/openings can't really be too long so if you like the songs maybe you may listen to the complete versions. Do it even off camera, it's an advice for your own enjoyment of the music more than one about reaction videos

[@Cr1s1s1s1rC]

ur breakdowns are fantastic

[@nathanjarrett728]

ed 3 is my favorite. It's meant to make you feel weirded out and disoriented, and i think it achieves that perfectly

[@kmkz145]

Always loved the first ending song, there's a lot of attention to the details, and i really liked that call and response between vocal, strings, and brasses on the prechorus

[@Dechral]

after I first heard the 6th one during the show, it was etched into my brain and I had to to find it to add to my collection, great stuff
