In the first 20 seconds of the series it shows these 2 birds before it shifts onto the colossal titan peaking his head over the wall. Those birds are recognized as “Cormorant” birds. This is important because these types of birds only live near costal areas, beaches, islands, and rivers. It’s amazing that Isayama knew what he was doing from the first page of the manga and the first 20 seconds of the series.

美味しいココア I heard something different, I heard that he didn’t really know how the story is going to go when he started writing it, and he just went along with whatever he had and observed.

O k no I meant it in the beginning he “just went along” but yes as he was writing it I believe he started planning a lot of the things, he even changed a lot of his plan too. What I said was based on what he said, he may not be correct because he is really hard on himself and maybe he is much better and creative than what he thinks he is.

Same. My standard of watching anime have changed since 2013 because of AOT. After a long wait of season 2-3 (I didn't watch any other anime tbh) I finally came back watching anime and this anime is constantly improving. I've already read the manga (Cause I can't wait any longer to wait for the animation) But boi I'm still freaking in love with how the story unfolds to it's mystery. From characters being predictable to unpredictable. The concept where you thought this anime is soft for it's characters to killing them one by one because that is the harsh reality of what Iseyama's world really is. This anime, whatever the people or 'so-called' haters says about bad stuff about it, they haven't analyze why this story is such a master piece.

[@enthuzias3913]

@@magicalwizard9539 *NO SPOILERS* I'm only going to mention some of the details in Season 1 which was a foreshadowing to the events of later seasons In season 1 Episode 1, There were 2 birds called cormorant bird and they are found near coastal areas, It was a foreshadowing to ocean episode. also, in first few seconds of the series is "Eren's dream". Eren's dream is some random images which I believe is somewhat related to manga ending. In the same episode, Grisha goes to visit some patient but he actually goes to Reiss Chapel to take the founding Titan and then comes back and feed himself to Eren because Grisha's time was about to get over (13 year curse) There are some scenes which are related to chapter 119-122, which is a spoiler so i won't discuss it now, but believe me this episode is full of details and foreshadowing In Season 1 episode 2, Eren wakes up and he finds a key in his collar which Grisha showed him in first episode.. now we know how did he get that key. In Season 1 episode 6, we saw some Bandits killed Mikasa's parents. Bandits discussed that Oriental and Ackermann are sold at high price at the blackmarket. why? Its because King couldn't alter their memories, which is why he persecuted Ackermann and Oriental clan. This means, they are special. In Season 1 Episode 8, when Eren first transformed remember?.. Riener asked Connie "Do you know anything about that titan"? It was foreshadowing. Riener was trying to find out who that titan is. In that same episode Annie saved Connie by killing the titan, Riener says to Annie "Good work". Riener kinda hints to Annie that she is forgetting what they really came for! in Season 1 episode 9, when Eren tranformed to save mikasa and armin from that cannon fire... Riener, Annie, Bertholt were the first to run to that place where that titan lightning was coming from. In that same episode, in the flashback we saw... Grisha repeated the same lines which were said by Kruger in Season 3 episode 21. Grisha also says "Their memories will guide you". the meaning behind this line was explained in Season 3. In Season 1 episode 13, we saw a 2 sec clip of Marco. He was shocked to see something and the next time we saw him dead. What was he shocked at? In Season 3 Episode 15, we saw how Marco died (he was shocked to listen Riener and Bertholt's conversation) in Season 1 episode 15, Eren wonders "why do I know how to turn into a titan?" it's because Eren recalls the memories of Frieda Reiss (She bites her hand to turn into a titan, this was unique to Frieda and now Eren) to turn into a titan. In Season 1 Episode 17, Riener asks Armin about Eren's location and then gives the message to female titan. There are lot more, but they are spoilers from Season 4.

I dont know if his unique style can be replicated, but in terms of story and theme this has been done a million times before. And that's not a criticism!! The story of AoT is mythical... hell it's practically BIBLICAL! The story of great heroes leaving the safety of our walls in order to confront chaos so that they may bring back something of value... well that's just the story of THE hero. The monomyth. I genuinely think that one of the major appealing factors is the fact that this series is chock full of mythical symbolism. Eren discovers his power when he is LITERALLY in the belly of the beast. That power is literally a gift from his ancestor... like these are themes so deep that they may predate humanity.

It doesn't seem like a masterpiece to me. It is rife with gaping plotholes and the entire story is contrived. Why did Rod Reiss go after Eren so late? He was literally the king, he could have easily made a cadet disappear and he could have started brainwashing Historia a lot earlier too. Then his plan would have succeeded. Also, the first time Eren uses coordinate power, why was he unable to transform into a titan before that, when he had already fully healed? Sometimes his titan regenerates entire limbs within seconds and sometimes, he cannot, why is that? Why could he not use crystallization/hardening power when it is stated that it is natural for all shifters to be able to do it. Why could he not access any memories from previous holders of his titan until he reached the basement and read the diary? Why was there a separate vial for crystallization and why was it just lying around at a place when eren needed it the most? If by crytallization, titan shifters can damage the walls then why don't they do it to fully damage and break the walls? It would have taken only one hole for the wall titans to escape and then Rampage on Paradise. Since the Eldians in Marley want Paradise destroyed, why not do it? Breaking the wall would create enough confusion to allow them to steal the founding titan.

Yup Man you never know who when or why they gon die🤣🤣

[@WillyJuro]

Eren Yeager huh?

[@trequor]

i dont think that's quite right. I think that part of the problem is that AoT LOOKS LIKE a shallow piece of edgy teen fan service. So that turns people off before they come to understanding that beneath the surface of all that is a mythical story.

[@WillyJuro]

Eren Yeager hunter x hunter in my opinion is a bit generic something like aot is very different from regular shounen so It’s more seinen but hunter x hunter is still good just follows a lot of shounen customs.

[@WillyJuro]

trequor well I mean if it has people holding on to their seats then of courses it can be considered edgy but so do a lot of other things keep people on edge while they watch does meant it’s edgy tenn fan service and tbh I don’t think that’s an actual thing, fan service is defined as something that is added to a shoe to please the audience and AOT does nothing to please the audience they just shock us and keep things “edgy”

[@maxtaylor1039]

Attack On Titan has literally restructured my way of living it’s great

[@Osama-KIN_TMZ01]

I see what you did in the end *"2000 Years from now"* , that exact chapter/episode title is extremely important to the story now, and even later in the manga.

[@samuraijack2857]

*"That day humanity saw a grim reminder"* Was it really for the people living inside the walls OR that day the Eren we see now came to existence. What was grim? Wall breach? Or Eren's rage? We can only know in the end for whom it was really meant for.

[@joaoassumpcao3347]

Just you wait when Armin says the same thing at the end of the show

[@tanishqpandey9564]

It's definitely eren's rage / hunger for freedom

[@dearafaela3672]

It's actually a pretty good example of how the cycle of the oppressors being the opressed and vice versa is so easily being continued and how wars are often said to "justified" even if it only benefits their own gains

[@watchmaker1779]

I've seen the anime multiple times, and I've read the manga to the last chapter yet. And boy, oh, boy, I was at the edge of my seat having goosebumps the entire video! Good job, Mark, you too never fail to deliver. P.S. Why didn't you draw the thumbnail? :D

Eren saw his mom getting eaten before it happened, just like how the guy who gave Eren’s Dad the attack titan power knew who mikasa and armin were. Eren has some future vision.

[@xgullafter9590]

@@IV4IV yah, have watched thousands of shows, been watching anime for ages, can very much say that so far AoT is without a doubt toppest of the top tier. Storytelling, pacing, character development and ambitiousness far exceeding the quality of most.

[@bboywolf]

@@xgullafter9590 absolutely not. Dragon Ball, One Piece, Berserk, Hunter x Hunter, Naruto, Death Note, samurai champloo, cowboy bebop, FMA, hajime no ippo, kenshin, bleach... all better lol

[@NM-ej3xw]

@@bboywolf One piece? Dragon Ball? Hunter x Hunter? So typical nothing original there, plotholes everywhere, main character are so cliche, loses the first fight, wims the second. Naruto is better, but has so many plot holes. More popular doesn't equal better. Death Note is amazing tho, but a different ganre.

[@lolabee1825]

Wolfwarrior Uhhhhh- Hold on- One Piece is boring to no end and over sexualized their females, Naruto has so much filler it doesn't even know what to do with it's self, Dragon Ball is overhyped and it knows it but kinda rocks it tbh, Death Notes final arc sucked, Bleach went down in quality, I personally never liked Berserk it relied on too much gore for me and was definitely made for a specific demographic that I just didn't fit in so whoops- I'm not sure about the others but that's my opinion on the ones you mentioned. AoT has consistently been good and one of those series that get BETTER when you rewatch the series or season. This is just my opinion though and you have you're own so I mean- Whatever XD I bet you 100% you're older than me and grew up on some of these anime ;)

[@ramonabdiel10]

I’m gonna be honest. I was one of those people who thought it was overrated and boring. But during this quarantine i saw a lot of talk for the Season 4 trailer. I was looking for something new to watch so I caved in and started watching it. I recently finished Season 3 and can confidently say Attack On Titan is the best anime i’ve ever seen and needless to say Attack On Titan made me eat my own words.

[@ohhithere2196]

Same! I regret dropping it at season 3 episode 1 🤦

[@jasmineramos9120]

Reiner's reveal was the best villain reveal i have EVER seen, not only was my flip out a complete contrast to the casual covo and tone but the shots to other soldiers talking and walking just a few feet out of hearing distance added to that insanely. And it makes the show hit SOOOO different rewatching it (as do a lot of things tbh) and although I do have a few critiques about some plot points, characterizations, etc AOT remains my favorite anime and manga (I super recommend reading the manga along with watching the anime btw)

[@Lakross101]

When I started reading/watching and the story says "We're the only humans" I'm like ehhhh DOUBT. I knew who the Armored and Colossal Titans were, about the government being shitty w.e. SO WHEN THE STORY STILL GRABS ME BY THE BALLS, THIS STORY IS WORTH ALL MY LOVE. There's still much to be surprised by, but unlike so many other stories, it's ALL about execution. And DAMN the pacing, the organization, and the amount of thought giving into revealing information is so masterful. I'm very happy for everyone that puts work into this sbow.

[@trequor]

Personally I'd say that the story and themes are great, but the execution is damn near perfect.

[@vibangigan5336]

[@nomorepartiezz]

Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood! If you liked the vague early-1900s WW1 Europe aesthetic of Marley and stuff then you’d love this show. It also does similar things with secret government conspiracies that unravel over the course of the story, endless plot revelations that make the scale of the story huge and complex, racism/war between different nations, etc. One of the best shows ive ever seen. The first couple episodes are a little confusing and might lean into anime humor tropes a bit too much but its definitely worth it to stick it out

Two years ago, I watched your video with no expectation or desire to watch/read AoT. I was simply bored and really enjoyed your Dragon Ball content, so I figured I'd give this one a try too. Six minutes into watching I paused and went to start watching the anime. Here we are today. I've watched every episode, movie, and OVA, and I've read every manga chapter of this MASTERPIECE that is AoT. I am eternally grateful to Hajime Isayama, for birthing this epic tale, and to you, for introducing me to it. Thank you.
