Y’all the goats frl
Also tegan is the fastest hashria and a shinobi he is trained for endurance
Yessir 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love y'all content RDC , part 2 ? And TBH titan would wipe a hashrima

Back & Forth is easily one of their best series. Perfect for background noise while doing things like work, studying, etc.
Literally listening while doing hw rn
The best

FACTS.
😂They yell a little too much for me to study to, but I see your point
The moment Armin decides to transform, it's a wrap. Hashira are fast, but they ain't dodging a nuke.
Tf you talking bout.....they can
didn't gyutaro blow up a town? they probably just tank that shi ngl
nigga this is a nuke equivalent 💀, also the founder is op end of story@@evanvazquez3923
Its literally a nuke and the hashira are humans
Its just not possible im sorry
Demon slayer characters arw not that strong
on god

The fact that Mark is saying his family is most important to him, so he's rather watch them DIE than watch them live happy lives without him is the most backwards shit I've ever heard😂
That’s mark 💀😂
But they wont live happy lives
@@King_X884 rather have them live a generally unhappy life, with a chance of being happy, then not let them live at all
@@zackycookie id rather see my love ones in a safe environment not sick and dying than seeing everyone i love die.

With Tanjiro being able to cut through a boulder before defeating his first demon opponent, I think a Hashira can easily cut through Titan crystal.

bruh any hashira would demolish all 9 titans together, also the founding titan cant do shit to a hashira since they not subjects of ymir
@@OGRiathey don’t need to be supjects of yumir for the rumbling to kill them
Cutting a rock is nothing. That's beginner level shit for any anime with swords.
The reason attack on titan might not do well in the past would be do to the form in which tv and anime was consumed back then. You can’t stumble into a random episode of attack on titan on tv and be easily hooked. It was hard to be able to find whole shows and seasons outside of theirs tv slotted times. That’s why a simpler plot like dragon ball z worked because if someone randomly watched an episode it wouldn’t be too hard to understand what’s going on and therefore make you more likely to pick the show up from there.
I believe there can be exceptions to this, however I honestly think ur right. Just going off of my own personal experience sometimes just being able to jump into things and still get what’s going on usually is more enjoyable. There are times where I’ve watched shows with advance overarching stories however, and sometimes I can get hooked on the plot of that episode. Enough so where I eventually become interested in the show. But asides from that u make a very good point
Not to mention that seasonal anime was FAR less common back then. If you got an anime, it just ran until it was over, so AoT would have a TON of filler since it’s monthly and therefore produces less content on average (page count) than an average weekly manga produces.
This goes for almost 90% of anime lol
This is where the Golden Age of TV came in, like in the 90s it was mostly random adventures (Hercules and Xena are good examples).. I remember when it was all the hype to come home for a weekly show.. Heroes comes to mind.. But now when I watch a series I need long format and it to be serialised. I hate random episode stuff now haha
@@Eli-akad I do agree that you can get hooked or enticed by advanced stories like attack on titan but trying to find its entire media after is a harder task to accomplish in the past compared to now. If it was in the current day then surely you can get hooked and easily go find the show and start from the beginning instantly while comparatively in the past you would have to go searching for physical copies that could take weeks or months.
Can’t lie DB is the WWE of anime.
Came up in an era where it’s field wasn’t mainstream, pioneered its industry forward, became the representative of its genre, and many who watch it after it’s golden age don’t get why it’s so popular. You had to be there
No cap, that's a great ass fucking analogy, because you really did have to be there to fully understand.
John is deffo right about the fact that Attack on Titan wouldn’t be popping back then the way it is now. The main demographic of anime/manga was kids who’s main focus was fighting and cool stuff. Which makes sense why we loved DBZ/Bleach/Naruto etc. Us growing up made us realize the amazing writing and faults in the likes of One Piece/Naruto etc. Also us growing up with anime and maturing opened us up to more mature series like Death Note/Code Geass. Which brings us all the way to Attack on Titan which aligns with our age and what story the author is trying to tell us! The opposing ideologies, racism, the complexity of humanity etc. The point John is making is that a series of Attack on titans magnitude would go over our heads if it came out when we were that young! Many would go back and watch it as they grew up but it still wouldn’t be as big as it is now. Examples who fit this would be 20th century boys and Monster. Two spectacularly written manga but came out in a era were most anime watchers was young kids who would rather watch straight fighting
Well said, if aot came out back in the day most people wouldn’t have even seen it cause of it’s hiatuses, not to mention shit wasn’t on demand so it would be very hard for you to keep track of it, let alone gain new fans.
True dbz was definitely targeting kids didn’t realize the writing was mid until we got older
Honestly really solid points, that being said, there’s a reason it didn’t come out back then
I agree wholeheartedly.
Another thing against Dylan’s argument is that every point he made to detract from DBZ, you can say the same about Naruto, but yet he still had Naruto in his top 5 (above AoT).
Naruto has way too many flaws to be in a top 5 (still one of my favorites) if you’re being critical and ignoring nostalgia and impact. And I’m not just talking about filler. I could say the same about One Piece probably but I’ll leave that alone since I haven’t seen it.
For me, with Nostalgia and Impact and all of that involved it goes
1. DBZ
2. Gundam Wing
3. Attack on Titan/FMA brotherhood (I honestly can’t separate them)
4. Fate Zero
5. Hunter x Hunter/Samurai Champloo (I can’t separate these either)
If we ignoring Nostalgia and shit
1. Attack on Titan
2. FMA Brotherhood
3. Fate Zero
4. Hunter x Hunter/Samurai Champloo
5. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
The fifth spot could’ve really went to a bunch of shows tbh. Ghost in the Shell: SAC, Darker than Black S1, Black Lagoon, Code Geass and Vinland Saga. Cyberpunk probably got some recency bias going for it tbh but oh well.
I ain’t seen Stein’s Gate, Baccano or Monster yet but they could probably be up there too once I watch them based on what I heard
@Footballazz one piece and hunter x hunter are tied imo, Vinland saga is probably 1
Can we have more of these episodes please cause this was truly back and forth!!! John and Dylan were killing this
Dylan been hating tho dont get it twisted
To hate on dbz and act like aot had the perfect ending is CRAZY
The ending was great
🤷♂
@@thetruesquad5059when did he say perfect. If u were even listening they said multiple times that it wasn’t perfect but great (which it is)
Reason that AoT is a top 5 show is because EVERY SINGLE EPISODE MATTERS.
No filler, no huge, episode long flashbacks, there is constantly something happening in each episode that has you connecting dots and asking questions, or just flat out amazed at the spectacle.
Yup!
Im pretty sure Grishas flashback was a couple episodes long but that shit slapped, some of the best aot episodes
Aot is overrated, literally while it was aired noone cared except for the first and last season. Every ep of dororo matters aswell.
@@johncrowley3322🧢🧢🧢
EXACTLY!! You are always on ur toes on AOT but on Naruto and one piece they be adding stupid fillers that ruin the momentum of the show
1:03:00 John is right when he says people weren’t looking for those kind of stories at the time. And I have one anime to prove it that made a huge comeback in recent times and is widely loved. DevilMan Crybaby was an anime that came out in the 80’s (yes late 80’s for those who really know) but the story always had substance to it just not the eyes. When DevilMan made a return it was huge and people were really regarding the series as one of the best not knowing it’s based on a story from the 80’s scene. I get John is bad at bringing up examples in a lot tf this video but he was 100% correct that people back in the day weren’t looking for stuff this deep diving. Devil man is a story that was overlooked cause people didn’t really care or didn’t see the message of the show but now all of a sudden the younger people who watched the Netflix version understand the story better than those who overlooked it in the past. Timing means a lot when it comes to what’s going to be popular or widely loved by the public.
Also DBZ had good writing when it came to Raditz and the Saiyan saga if you went from Og Dragon Ball to Z. It was a major twist that Goku was an alien and now he has a brother that wants to dominate everything for their race and he doesn’t have that sense of attachment at all. Then finding out he can turn into a super saiyan and the ozaru form wasn’t the only thing he got from being an alien was fucking mind blowing. I think the problem is really due to when these shows came out. Cause a lot of these arguments wouldn’t be made if things came out at different times. Like let’s be real here if DBZ came out in 2023 with updated animations and no filler would go hard af. If it jumped straight to each saga no one would be saying “it moves slow.” This id the problem I’m talking about when it comes out. If JjK was coming out at the same time DB or DBZ came out it would be filled with filler and be considered good for certain qualities yet hated for others.
So true and the way Devilman Crybaby ended to I don’t think people would’ve liked that back then either
Dylan is forever a legend for not letting that nostalgia bs slide
no he’s actually stupid lol. the misconception that dbz took episodes for a charge up showed his ignorance. he fr was talkin nonsense this episode
Ngl saying that people only like something purely for nostalgia is a really lazy criticism. Are you saying it's poorly written or boring? You're just stating that people liked it way back when lol. People often leave it at "nostalgia bias" and that's it really.
@@MachinaOwl exactlyyy. its ignorant
@@MachinaOwl I think you’re kinda missing the context of the video if you’re saying something like that. They literally broke down the nostalgia bias and what it actually means. For reference, a show like dbz which is relatively boring and especially poorly written in a lot of places, is carried immensely by nostalgia and impact. Two things that have no place in any kind of legitimate ranking of quality.
Impact and nostalgia are a way folks cheat to say old shit is great. I’m glad he stood on DBZ having issues
Season 1 and 2 of attack on titan are some of the best anime highlights of the decade. It hits a lot harder never reading the manga not getting spoiled. Trying to solve the mystery in your head of how the Titan thing started. I was falling off watching anime around the time when naruto and bleach ended. But AOT was one series that brought me back.
Im glad I started watching only 2 years ago and not way back like some people because I wouldnt have been able to cope with it ending
nah but like don't be sleeping on season 3! Season 3 was some the best pay off in all of aot with some really sick fights
@@Dundun11s3 part 2 was FIRE all the fights then reveals about beyond the walls
@@thetruesquad5059 BRO it hit so different but honestly I will say this as well part 1 of season 3 is a little slept on imo because that's where they started cooking and revealing more of the titan abilities and I really enjoyed
Not gonna lie season 2 was boring to me but I understand your point ✊🏾
Attack on titan going down as one of the GOATS man even with the subjective ending, how did Isayama cover that COMPLEX ass story into a boy who just wanted to kill all the titans. One of a kind plot. Keep grinding RDC!
frrrr!!!
frrr
Facts, all those twists and turns just made eren’s mission that much more epic. Classic show.
still not top 5 to me
@@BoxingisgoatedBoxingisgoated what's ure top 5?
Titans are getting cooked quickly by the hashira, especially if they know the nape weakness, which they could find out easily since they are already trained to do so with demons
They not beating the colossal
@@rightguy200000with demon mark they beat all titans
@karma9340 Nah he incenerates them in steam as soon as they get close.
@@rightguy200000 spoiler for final parts of AOT
Hange was able to kill a few of the rumbling colossal titans before burning up and we all know for sure how much quicker and stronger hashira are then hange
@@DragonNinja83 Those were mindless titans. Watch how fast Berthold incinerated Armin the instant he decided to kill him.
Watching John stand his ground made me happy
1:00:05
Also to John's point about AoT possibly not shining in the 80s and 90s is actually valid. Cowboy Bebop and NGE are heralded is masterpieces yet during their time they were outshined by the typical Shonen battle anime. Those weren't the animes that made anime mainstream in America. Those were Pokémon, DB, Sailormoon, YuYu Hakusho etc. It's more likely AoT would be NGE back in DBZ era rather than it being more popular than DBZ
Exactly John point was valid but he hurt himself not being able to name well written shows from that era
@redcloudm5 True, but him not being able to name those shows, as well as the rest of the cast, further proves his point imo.
@@FlashReturnsFacts
I was literally thinking of those 2 and berserk the whole time. So frustrating he couldnt name one lol
@@redcloudm5yeah all he had to say was berserk and evangelion. They're literally from the 90's but undisputed in every top story list
I’m not gonna lie this is my favorite series from them, shows their individual personalities
Back and fourth with yall is so dope and tagging in a more knowledgeable member is great. I love when yall discuss these topics among each other
I'm with Dylan on the Hashira losing.
There's very little way a Hashira would know to strike the nape of the neck (or be able to actually reach it). The Hashira could avoid all day, but if they can't end the fight all it takes is getting caught one time and chomped.
Nah rengoku could cut through all their heels in matter of seconds, immobilizing the titans and dropping them. That would allow him to reach their necks. He can also dodge any of their attacks. The only way titans win is by tiring him out but Im pretty sure Rengoku would figure out what hes gotta do to kill them if he sliced one up from head to toe. Im pretty sure he’d eventually see the effects a slice through the neck would have.
I mean, any proficient fighter worth their salt would aim for the head regardless as that would be the way to end a fight as quick as possible. The Demon Slayers have been hardwired to decapitate their opponents because of how they work, there's even demons of various sizes in Demon Slayer as shown in the earlier seasons so I think height is almost irrelevant. Outside of Colossal-esque Titans, the Hashiras Superhuman abilities that completely dwarf the Ackermans would be too much, though they'd certainly would have to get strategical for titans of Colossal size.
@@jonathanquinteros6496they don’t have 3d maneuver gear like Dylan was trying to say, they can’t zip around titans like that he’s running on the ground. Then he’d have to deal with colossals heat, warhammers real body is buried underground he’d have to figure that out, one colossal titan transformation would kill him instantly and infinite titans spawning from erens. Beast Titan throws shit tons of boulders. Armins also a genius, I’d say there’s hardly any chance for the hashira. Not to mention no we haven’t seen them be able to cut Diamond level like Annie’s neck is
I think they would figure it out especially if the Titans guard their nape like Annie did
@@huh3719 Um5 skin is harder than diamond and Muichiro no diffed him lmao and hes like the weakest hashira
The toys in Dressrosa couldn't "just leave" they were under Sugar's contract Kyros was the first toy in Dressrosa that's and sugar forgot to do the contract thats why he was able to move freely
Not only that doflamingo took all the money from the civilians and had king Riku, the beloved king of the country nicest guy ever and have him kill the civilians. That gave him the money.
@@TRJ42yeah but they didn’t know that. They only found out during the time luffy was fighting doflamingo.
Sounds like Fan theory nonsense used to cover up a plot hole. Any evidence in the actual story that shows this?
Nah yea and they was like that for 10 years. Idk it’s close bc Wano def got hoed but idk if I could live as a toy slave for 10 years w no hope of ever going back😭
@@manningforever1 but they eventually did get their bodies restored. Wano got the smile fruits, that's a permanent effect. They have no cure 😢
Dylan acting like Ymir on Reiner’s back will forever be in my head 😂
Do they ever mention the fact that eren lost because he wanted to lose? Mfs don’t realize that if eren didn’t have a weak spot for his friends they wouldn’t of even made it to his back let alone kill him
i love these podcasts man, keep them coming please
A simple demon slayer speed feat that was overlooked about rengoku: if you watched the mugen train arc (series Not movie) at the very beginning there was a demon covering cities in seconds on a killing spree and rengoku ran him down and cut him down (with the demon having a huge head start) before it could kill that girl and old lady
LITERALLY!!!
Surprised that was even an arrangement
Bro but it's not killing none of the 9 titans
rengoku is far faster but the colosal titan is a literal nuke that will instantly kill rengoku
The war hammer titan can be piloted from afar making it a constant threat rengoku has to avoid leaving him no time to for a break at any point
He has no way of knowing to go for the nape so the fight will drag on and any hit from the titans will permanently impair rengoku
The founder can make more titans appear
and the assault titan has precognition so they will be aware of what they are going to fight and they can easily make a plan (with the colosal titan as the win condition)
@@doom7607 Fax also if rengoku got close he'll look just like Armin
DBZ story and world building is actually crazy if you look back at where it started in Dragon Ball. The fact that Toriyama took it from a adventure story then built on strings like the Ozaru, the fact that piccolo and kami, and red ribbon army, and expanded that to the saiyan arc, namek arc, the android arc, and all of the kai shit building into the Buu arc really shows a huge amount of world building from previously mysterious and small story points that should be respected. If anything, the characters are 1D compared to today as far as the writing, but the fact that you come to like the characters and point to them as one of the main reasons it is great regardless of the rest of the story shows how far you can go with simple characters and a huge scope for conflict points.
Even crazier when you realize that he was pretty much coming up with the story on a weekly basis. He was just making more story on the spot.
Dbz has very little world building. Y’all have bout 4 different spin offs which one of them had nothing to do with the main story. Dragon balls build ups are legit new sayiain or fusions and the obvious villain. And the fights are legit somehow I’m going to be stronger than you in the middle of this fight with no explanation as to why other than plot armor. If we talking about story and world building dbz is definitely not it and there is nothing wrong with that because dbz would still be in my top 5 because without it most these other anime’s won’t exist
@@emmanuelmaggit4760 Maybe watch the show and don’t let someone else’s opinion dictate your own. Fusions have shown up a total of 3 times in the canon story and the only surviving “new saiyan”is Broly.
@@whyme4825 I did watch the show lmao I put dbz in my top 5 all time dbz doesn’t compare to other anime’s story wise if you think that then that’s your opinion but in my opinion dbz doesn’t come close to these other anime’s as far as story and world building. Their opinion ain’t my opinion it’s my opinion I watched every dbz series including gt
As someone who grew up on the og Funimation dub and havent seen any other since, once I read the manga a lot of my problems with dbz story were quelled. The dialogue and pacing makes so much more sense in Toryiamas manga.
DBZ wasn’t in my top 5 but damn Jon makes some good points. DBZ is the reason why we have so many good anime’s today. Transformations, power systems etc
Ain't top 5
@rais6036 it's top 5
Le and Dylan are tripping on the Titan argument
Mark’s reactions to how bad these people got rugged in both arcs is hilarious
I hate that I was under the influence of some Guinness and I totally spoiled the AoT ending for myself by not skipping the segment. All good my fault gentlemen
Couldn’t agree more with the GoT take 100%. They had me dying “they started Covid”
Solid picks for Top 5
Mine would be Z, one piece, Naruto (should’ve ended at pain and then fought Sasuke after), cowboy bebop, and Attack on Titan. In the future it’s fringy regardless of the amazing story.
Great segment boys! Looking forward to the next one
Respect Dylan standing on his opinion that people only put DBZ in their all time Top 5 because of nostalgia, but let's be clear without Dragonball modern anime doesn't exist as it does today. Its impact alone solidifies it's legacy as an all time Top 5 anime.
Dylan has BEEN hating bro
There was a whole 15 mins on stream of him saying dbz is carried by nostalgia not understanding it was written that way cuz of when it came out, now the media is different and there is a lot more to work off of, like bruh 🤦
People love to say just off nostalgia, me being a fan of so much anime I love dbz because of the story, the characters , and how much characters like Vegeta and Piccolo have grown since Dragon Ball and Z to now Super.
@@thetruesquad5059 take the time period argument out because their were better mangas written than dragon ball z around that time
@@thetruesquad5059not hating it's facts like it's just hard to compare because as a generation we upgrade so you can't really compare as ur dragon ball z came out now with peoples attention span ... I have my life on majority not making pass season 2 they fought for episodessss with Frieza
If it wasn't dragon ball would be another , you got many old ass shounens out there that did good , Japan doesn't lack genius people when it comes to writing manga.
Danggg the back and forth going on at around 45:00 and 50:00 is crazyy its hard to choose. The points they are talking about are really good to the question.
I think the black jacket is thinking of what is the best of all time right now (as in a flagship or what you could reccomend new anime likers to impress) and grey shirt is considering the true nature of the question in 'all time' cuz all time can posibly not imply present feelings but it also naturally does do that...
black jacket and grey shirt is crazy 😂
I’ve just finished AOT and when I tell you it’s such a beautiful story… I waited so long to watch it because for some reason at first I thought it was slow and didn’t give it a chance but now it’s easily top 5 favorite if not top 3…
I feel the AOT vs DBZ argument is tough to do because they're from completely different time periods where the standards of what is amazing were different. DBZ innovated a bunch of what modern anime take from today and you can see all of Goku's grandchildren and great grandchildren running around. The way the villains and characters like Future Trunks were handled was amazing and they were all unique and distinct both from each other and from other characters existing in the landscape at the time.
I think the same way DBZ wouldn't beat AOT if it came out during the 2010s, AOT wouldn't beat DBZ if it came out in the last 80s and early 90s. The landscape was simply different for what folks were interested in reading.
If attack on Titan came out in the 80s or '90s, it definitely would have blended in to other animes of its time. It will probably have that same darker tones like Gundam, ghost in the Shell, Akira, Appleseed.
A lot of modern day animes have really gotten away from Mecha, robot, space, post-apocalyptic kind of vibes
@fattygamer94 bruh I never thought of it like that after all these years 😂 AOT is a mecha anime. It's literally a "Modern" Gundam (I know they still make Gundam series).
You one of the few niggas that understand future trunks saga through dbz and super alone already secure dragonball as some of the best anime story writing ever… his ssj rage in dbs, future gohan and the androids killing him etc all that shit is amazing if you think more deeply…. Trunks is a half breed with more potential than normal saiyans and he’s had an entire life of trauma and intense battles from androids to zamasu the cheese lord god enemy narcissistic mf lol… time travel and time rings etc handled perfectly… such an apocalyptic scenario akira toriyama held it down fr on that entire storyline over the decades
I don't think they give Akira Toriyama enough credit. up until the Buu saga, it was written really well with an extensive lore (power levels, techniques, alien races, transformations, etc... shit that fuels discussions to this day). it didn't focus on dark or political themes like AoT, but that doesn't mean it was bad or inferior.
Exactly that part of the video was getting me annoyed lol it seemed like they watch dbz but really haven’t paid attention to dbz. I love Rdcworld1 but when it came to the dbz section they we’re wrong about some things in my opinion.
facts, thts something i learned to appreciate once i went back and watched in my adult hood.
They don’t give him credit cause a lot of people ain’t watch OG dragon ball, where majority of the cast played a role unlike in later DBZ (mostly everything after the frieza arc)
It's definitely inferior in depth and writing
I agree with you bro, they really try to downplay DBZ, just because it’s not as complex they already deem it as not well written when it’s actually a well written simple story. And I think that plays into what John was saying about AOT not being as successful if it came out during the DBZ time because the anime landscape was not what it is today so the audience and interest for AOT would already be limited. That’s why I believe DBZ actually has the better story for that time to mainstream anime like it did.
1:02:20 John got it right there, AoT wouldn’t have done as well back in the 1999’s because people didn’t have the patience or the care for deep story telling like they do right now, so it would’ve seemed boring and confusing. Just like an all boxing anime like dragon ball with no changes to its story, wouldn’t do as great today as it did when it first came out
Doesn’t mean its better than aot…not even comparable
@@barondanielJohn’s argument was about how WELL the anime would have done, not about how good it is though. We like to believe that quality translates to success but there are tons of works that are amazing that very few people talk about
@@NepBeard yeah i hear you..being popular pr successful dont make it good either
Aot is way good to be compared to dragon ball imo,just not on the same level
i know whoever edited this had so much fun 😭 loveeeeeed this episode
For Wano vs Dressrosa it really between "Would you rather suffer with your family or have your family be happy but forget your existence"
Quite frankly if I was a dude with a wife and kids, I rather be forgotten than have them suffer in Wano.
Exactly and marks wrong in thinking he’d get to suffer with his family bc any fit enough would be thrown into the factories to work until you die
its a sefless decision to suffer for the ones you love if i had the decision to be a toy and my family can a have a decent quality of life and they not remember me vs my family slowing deteriorating in front of my eyes and i cant even cry abt it im forsure makin that sacrifice and becoming a toy 😅
only small portion of people turned into toys unlike wano where everyone were killed and become slaves
@@zqShadowMonarch Exactly, idk why people thinking you can suffer with your family when half of them gonna be enslaved and working in a factory and the other half are gonna die by starvation or orochi/kaido. Tama was literally an oprhan.
@@taahanajam8634 I’m saying! Most of wano population is gone. What’s left is enslaved or starving to death or forced to work for nothing and fead smile fruits. And to work to please orochi
The thing that pissed me off the most about Arya killing the night king is that he had nothing to do with her story. Think about it. Name one scene, before season 8, where someone even said the word night king or white walker and Arya was in the scene. Meanwhile after Jon befriended the wildings the night king became his main villain. Jon is the one who brought the people together to fight him. Even worse, it was Brans entire story. The night king should have either died fighting Jon or Bran should have did so 3 eyed raven bull to kill him. Aryas big moment should have been killing Cersei. She was the last one on Aryas list and it would have been a more satisfying death then Cersei dying from falling rocks. I’m not even gonna talk about Jamie and Dany.
They need you in the writers room fr
What are you yapping about ?
@@donchinago3566 Did u not watch the video. They were talking about how Game of Thrones ending sucked and I gave my two cents about why I felt it sucked as well.
Facts man. They threw away all that whole build up for so many of the MAIN characters. Wasted so much damn time setting they character arcs up, and it drags down so much of the show along with it unlike other stories with bad/mediocre endings
AoT and GoT gotta a lot of similarities tbh
You can‘t put nostalgia into the mix yet. Attack on Titan just finished but lemme tell you the way how we‘re gonna feel nostalgic when rewatching Aot in 35 years showing it our kids when they old enough finna hit HARD. So I agree with Dylan as well
The Game of Thrones analogy so accurate bruh like how u mess dat up 😭
Leland speaking facts. "I'd rather struggle with my family then be out there by myself" Real Talk!
But u wouldn’t struggle with your family bc any men fit enough would be taken and put to work in the factories until you die.
@@zqShadowMonarch You got me with that one, I woulda been sent to the factories quick. That life would suck. But in the general aspect the line is facts tho.

Endurance couldn't be a factor to worry about considering that all Hashira use concentration breathing techniques.

@@humanoidfrog4645 armin took on Bertolt for a while before he scorched completely, surely a Hashira trained to fight demons with far greater abilities could within the heat.
@@Snaggywon hashira are regular humans using techniques to enhance their muscles. At the end of the day they're still normal people. One sword through the body and the mist hashira instantly died. Levi has a bigger chance of beating THE 9 titans (intelligence, skills and all) than most of the hashira do. I finished both demon slayer and aot and the hashira would be wiped if they didn't fight the last 4 strongest demons one by one. EXPERTISE is the most important skill in aot and that's why new scouts died easily and later in their carrier they barely die.
@@humanoidfrog4645 Hashira would die in the same way Levi would because ofc are humans there’s no argument there but clearly those in demon slayer are far more durable and could bang toe to toe with a few (if not all) of the titans. And don’t act like Hashira aren’t intelligent enough to deal with demons that have been killing for millennia. Lastly let’s not forget majority of the titans understands how ODM gears work and can plan for it if they’re working together. Fighting a Hashira with no prior knowledge that uses several abilities that enhances their swordsmanship should not be overlooked imo.
@@Snaggywon hashira are not killing titans from the ground up without knowing what the titans are. Hashira usually die very young and gang up on demons to beat them. 4-5 hashira is equal to upper moon 1 so that says enough about their power level. Hashira die to fire especially a nuke from armin

Wanting to watch this motivated me to finish AOT this week😂. Needed to finish so I could see what y’all niggas om
I think a big flaw with the Hashiras is the material given on their stamina. In both the demon-slayer manga and anime, they highlight several times where the demons are able to win a war of attrition (Rengoku as an example). I don't necessarily know if a Hashira could sustain the output to killing nine core titans. I personally believe they are capable of killing each one individually, but I don't know if they can last long enough to sustain.
Because the demons have immortality….oh and brains, smaller targets, and a more controlled manner of attack.
Like bro, everyone on the AoT side was arguing null points , tf was they bringing up the Jaw, Female, Armored,Beast and Warhammer for? They get negged by S2 Tanjiro imo, the real argument they shoulda brought up was the colossal and founding, who would literally out class and negg everyone from the DS verse, Muzan and Yoriichi included
Like care to explain to me how Muzan or Yoriichi survive a fire ball that's 1000x hotter than the surface of the sun, and that reduces any form of matter down to it's subatomic particles, expands at 80% the speed of light, and covers a 5 mile radius
@@thecraze4853 im ngl you cookin so for the mere fact of wanting an explanation how do you think the hashiras would win or rather how would the titans lose?
rengoku didnt lose a bc of attrition he had an arm in his chest
@@palooski227 if we take the two top dogs out ( the founder and Colossal) The hashira would win because of their speed and their swords , if you remember Tanjiro in Season 1 cut a boulder in half and his sword didn't even have a scratch on it, S1 Tanjiro wasn't remotely close to even the weakest hashira, and the blades strength scales with with the strength and skill of it's user, so I can almost guarantee you their swords would go through Titan hardening, now if we assume they have no information on each other, that Titans might win purely from attrition, but if we assume otherwise, it's GG for the Attack, Beast, Female, Armored, Warhammer, Jaw and cart, they would simply run up to the nape cut them out and take off their head
The Colossal like I said transforms with a Nuke, .....so I'm sorry if it's a fight even with Muzan, the MF would have to be over 5 miles away to not get Thanosed by the Nukes fireball, which doesn't make any sense
For the founding...... it's the colossal, Plus all the other 7.....just on mad steroids, assuming the founding has full backing from Ymir ofc, it can spawn infinite Titans, hell it could spawn past colossal setting off multiple nukes, so no chance against that thing.
Dylan and Mark giving Code Geass it’s flowers. You love to see it. Goated show.
I love anime arguments. One trait I feel is always missed from these convos be location.
If you have two characters fight from different shows. The location plays a part. Naruto characters in other universes would get a downgrade because ninjutsu may not be apart of the universe.
I can explain more but wanted to make the statement
Trying to follow a John explanation has to come toe to toe with like the greatest human feats ever performed. Man is all over the place.
Dragonball has great writing it’s not a complex story but it’s written phenomenally
Agreed especially for Toriyama literally writing off cuff! Lol
OG DB, I agree. But everything after that is just an action flick tbh
I get John’s point about AOT MAYBE not being as popular if it came out earlier. It reminds me of horror movies and how now people like “elevated” horror as opposed to slasher films. That’s why a lot of media are cult classics-they find their audience later even though they were good when they came out.
I ageee with John cuz all of the things and shows that pop out during that time, doesn’t fit attack on titan moto or style. Plus most big and successful anime’s 300+ eps and I think pacing and story would have change just a little bit of AOT as well as its animation during the 90’s
Slasher films are just BAD now, that's why they aren't liked as much. Halloween is still a classic that has aged well, Alien is still a classic that has aged well, Scream series is still going strongly. If Friday the 13th came out today, it would never have become the cult classic that it is...and that's true of majority of slasher flicks, but some told good enough stories to stand the test of time.
i agree with John 100%...
his point sounds so dumb. If aot came out back in the it would be still be the same. It wouldnt change the fact that aot had an amazing overall story and fitting ending. That whole argument bout not finding the audience target so stupid. Youre basically saying that if fma came out back in the day they wouldnt have the same impact and great story just cause its not shounen like dbz and other shit. Making it sound like people was only looking for shounen back then. No. DBZ is as big as it is today was because the story gripped us enough to watch everytime a new episode came out. and his whole argument basically saying aot not as gripping? WHAT?!? If anything. If aot came out and finished back in the day. it would MAYBE have more "impact" than dbz. Also. that point about elevated horror is irrelevant. That shit do not matter. It's literally just about how the story gets you hooked. Yall making it sound like you sit to watch a show because you already know what youre getting out of it. TF. Im pretty sure people sit to watch because they are looking for something new to watch. Not knowing what theyre getting out of it. That whole audience target do not matter. Especially if we talking anime. Dylan's points hit and I feel like John just arguing out of biased. And with his point he basically saying that if dbz came out now. It would be mid because people not looking for that kind of shit. Which is why he bringing in that whole "inspiration" argument saying that dbz better cause it was the first to come out. He literally just debunked his earlier argument with that "if aot came out back in the day" point. All I got from that argument was him yapping. and also, why he tryna bring in that "target audience" when they just talking about the anime as whole (story, character, pacing)... Whole argument about reaching the targeted audience actually just sounds extra stupid. With that point... Then Evagelion, akira, trigun, and or almost every anime that came out back then would be called mid with the story and everything they got because people was only looking for shows like DBZ?!?!??? what.
@@vialize exactly this...the great anime today would still be great, or even greater actually if they came out in the past, same can't be said though of some anime in the past if they came out today. DBZ would not compete with Kimetsu no Yaiba, Jujutsu Kaisen, Boku no Academia, Castlevania, Shingeki no Kyojin and others if it came out today...it came out at the perfect time for it to make its mark.
Y'all mentioning the caliber of anime now forgetting that the reason why the anime now are popping is that they are taking the concepts from pld anime and building their own story from those concepts, alot of anime copy dbz's style (tournament arcs, transformations etc etc) and that's not a bad thing e.g. naruto and jujutsu kaisen jujutsu kaisen and so many other anime use the naruto's concepts and build great stories. And you can't knock dragon ball's impact because without dragon ball we wouldn't have the type of anime we have today even in the 90s they used dbz's formula another example yu yu hakasho, the mangaka themselves admit they read dbz and admire the work and toriyama helps several famous mangaka write their characters dbz isn't just about impact, its simplicity is second to none there is not one technique that you don't understand, there isn't one thing in dbz that's too hard to understand which is why it was so easy to watch and love anime nowadays over complicate their techniques and stories too much and lose their audience because of it the audience is trying to understand the techniques more than the anime itself and the fact that every arc transitions so seamlessly yet toriyama and his editor kept changing the story is an impressive feat. Mangaka nowadays can't do that, the android 19 and 20 were the big bads but the editor said "i ain't feeling that" then he added 17 and 18 and toriyama said "nah i ain't feeling that" and then cell first form was the final villain and the editor said "nah i ain't feeling that" same thing with the second form cell yet it felt like the ending was always perfect cell and he wasn't even in the original ending
Let it be known that the founder and eren were def holding back against armin and everyone they weren’t trying to kill them it was obvious when the war hammer instead of straight up killing the cart titan he held her on a stake for like 5min and the same with armin could’ve killed him too but chose to subdue him instead
annie was running the speed of a horse, and reiner was just a little bit faster, there ain’t no way they think these titans is this fast
Annie was blitzing them horses😂they not faster than a hashira but don’t hoe😂
them hashiras are not fast either. Remember that cut off of the upper six fighting the hashira in the alley from from S3 .
Their size makes them cover distance faster too. If I ran 10 mph and i upscaled myself to 4 meters, now i cover wayyy more distance in that same timeframe just from the size increase.
They didnt even mention Armin could just nuke the demon slayer people
And even then the only reason they’re able to do that is because they’re giant and can cover more ground
Till this day, I’m astounded by all of y’all memories to remember all the details of these shows. It’s insane honestly😂
Finally a back and forth🎉🔥🔥
Loved AOT endning! Genius!
Great convo! I disagree that no part of DBZ is written well. I think the idea that complexity = quality is a modern notion that shortchanges older shows. I think Gohan's arc is extremely well written. DBZ's style is just more character-focused with simple plots which was the style of the time. I've been going back to watch older anime, and it's honestly refreshing to see a different style of storytelling that focuses more on emotional truths than building a (albeit cool) house of cards.
Complexity does not = quality is a great point and Demon Slayer is proof of that in today’s era, everyone loves it and the story is not complex at all
@@redcloudm5 nah bro don't get shit mixed up. People only love demon slayer cus the animation is fucking beautiful
Yep. Simplicity can beat complexity depending on execution. And thats EXACTLY why demon sIayers story aint as ba d as ppI say. PpI love to say all it has is animation. No it has a story too. A simple story. Ive been arguing this for awhile and its so cool seeing others wake up to that.

But that’s impressive not “better”.
i feel like cell saga had above average writing, u valid on everything else
We NEED even more back n forth I love this series more than anything
This the most John every made since to me👏🏾
For me it all comes down to if and how long it takes for the hashira to figure out the nape situation and how they would get up to slice it with no edm gear, the jaw titan could probably be the only one to keep up speed wise but if they can keep the nape away long enough titans got it imo just off group effort and stamina

AOT is top 5 in my opinion. Obviously it’s a subjective list but the storyline and world building is one of the best out of any show including anime’s. Let’s remember that AOT holds the 2,4, and 5 spot for most watch tv episodes of all time. The only show that is in front of them is breaking bad.

Impact is important but ultimately ruins the top 5 conversation. Shows like SAO have created entire genres and lanes in anime and unquestionably have huge impact, but are easily not even top 10 when you evaluate a show from standards like world building, plot, character development, and pacing.

Dragon ball z and attack on Titan are two objectively different anime that are looking to accomplish different things one story is about a savior that comes through despite all odds while the other is about people looking for a savior in the wrong person which in turn fucks them over one is allowed to be more simpler due to the premise but dragon ball z story and world building isn’t close to being as bad as you guys were saying in the video. The world of dragon ball is more expansive and complex as opposed to attack on Titan where you only saw a handful of races and only explore two countries. Attack on Titan had a more in depth story because it was a more grounded series while dragon ball z is fantasy so they are allowed to do whatever they want however because toriyama wrote his characters so well along with creating a great power system the story is still entertaining and the manga actually is developing into a great story. Also impact is important considering the fact almost all current anime draw inspiration from dbz so that means dbz did something right. Dbz is top five because it is a great show point blank period
Thank you bruh I couldn’t get it out and attack on titan has impact with the transformation that’s it idc maybe 3d gear and swords
Facts!!! Preaching my fellow universe 7 warrior 💪💯
If we’re talking most influential than Dbz should be there but we’re talking greatest all time. I feel impact shouldn’t play a factor because that to me is a lazy reason that overshadows shows that hit all the beats of a truly amazing show. I feel dbz has better characters truly like Vegeta, Piccolo, teen Gohan, future Trunks , Dbz Goku. But other than that, it can be controversial on whether story plots are good or if it’s paced well. Attack on Titans story can be nitpicked for mistakes but all the story beats are there from the very beginning and everything comes full circle from the very first episode. I really admire Isayama because he thought out the show completely and every moment is necessary in each episode , no filler really . If we’re comparing the two shows against each other, it should be AoT without a doubt objectively , but if we look at it emotionally , then I can understand completely why ppl would say DBZ. But in a true top five list, saying that impact is a factor is lazy reasoning for why dbz should be there. It can be up there, but not with that explanation.
@@wel0219 ok but if you read my explanation impact wasn’t my only reasoning it was just my last reason lol
Dbz and Aot are gonna be in my top 5 I can admit, is nostalgia bias on z but AOT I truly think it’s the top 5 anime
Can we all agree that the ODM gear made them fast to get from point A to point B. A hashira could face the nine titans cuz they aren't fast. But lets not act like them ODM gears wasn't a necessity for them to fight.

There's no filler/no unfinished plot points/characters I love/and a super bleak and bitter sweet tone throughout it all.

I love the demon slayer vs aot question because I can honestly see it going either ways. Can I imagine a hashira beating a titan? Yes. Can I see a titan beating a hashira? Yeah. Honestly, I feel like it depends on so many things and so many factors that I’m not even on one side and love seeing the different pouts get bought up on both sides 😭 I do think that’s it’s crazy for ONE of them to go up against 9 titans because realistically nobody going up against titans by themselves ESPECIALLY not one of the 9. Most people in demon slayer aren’t fighting 1 v 1s (or at least not always willingly from what I’ve seen in the anime. Im not a manga reader!)
But I also think a Hashira who has to chop demon head off for a living already has enough experience of getting through tough skin like that. But getting up there and cutting 9 of them off? Idkkkk. Because even if they get through war hammer armor, they have to get through armored titan, and Annie covering up her neck. And don’t forget Armin blowing tf up.
Idk how much stamina they would have for that. I’m not saying it’s NOT possible, but as for the question of 1 v 9, it seems hard. I think an evenly matched battle would give them a run for their money tho fs (but I can still see either way)
nah they forgot how rengoku blitzed on the train tracks in season 2, hashiras move faster than the speed of sound, they left it out in the debate
I love all of dragon ball… and I could confidently say in terms of Z from the Saiyan Saga to frieza is very solid story wise, and the android/cell saga to a lesser degree is solid as well. Not to mention the new least(most) underrated fight in DB history Piccolo vs 17. Writing been solid, then they wouldn’t let toriyama end the show

I think influence (how a show/film affected other anime and the genre) AND impact (how it resonated emotionally) should be judged alongside foundational factors like story, worldbuilding, characters, and animation. That way, classic anime aren’t disregarded because of the genre’s natural progression and new anime can still assert themselves as GOATs as well. Regardless of your top five, it’s just great to love anime and share that with other people. What a time to be an anime fan!
No it shouldn’t being first should not disregard other factors.
@@Stunt877 Yeah, I’m saying people should consider a combination of factors instead of just one. That way, it’s more balanced. Also, I wouldn’t say being first guarantees influence. A show could’ve come before and had no influence on what came later. And both new and older anime can have a huge impact on people.
I 100% agree with your take.
I get the points Dylan was making…but every point he made to detract from DBZ, you can say the same about Naruto yet that was still above AoT on his list.
Naruto has way too many flaws to be in a top 5 if you’re being critical and ignoring nostalgia and impact. And I’m not just talking about filler. I could say the same about One Piece probably but I’ll leave that alone since I haven’t seen it.
For me, with Nostalgia and Impact and all of that involved it goes
1. DBZ
2. Gundam Wing
3. Attack on Titan/FMA brotherhood (I honestly can’t separate them)
4. Fate Zero
5. Hunter x Hunter/Samurai Champloo (I can’t separate these either)
If we ignoring Nostalgia and shit
1. Attack on Titan
2. FMA Brotherhood
3. Fate Zero
4. Hunter x Hunter/Samurai Champloo
5. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
The fifth spot could’ve really went to a bunch of shows tbh. Ghost in the Shell: SAC, Darker than Black S1, Black Lagoon, Code Geass and Vinland Saga. Cyberpunk probably got some recency bias going for it tbh but oh well.
I ain’t seen Stein’s Gate, Baccano or Monster yet but they could probably be up there too once I watch them based on what I heard
you lot forgot that Kyros as a toy was a special case because sugar never gave him commands before he escaped, the other toys were forced to live a certain way because she commanded it and couldnt stop. They got hoed differently.
I feel up until new era-2010s, there was an emphasis on weekly serialized manga release and managaka’s really had to frame and pace the story alongside this sales method to ensure the anime would pick up and flow accordingly. Nowadays with anime only streaming services people consume anime at a much quicker pace and sometimes disregard the manga entirely. Newer series are condensed with less fluff as they don’t need to survive on the old sales model as series like DB/DBZ did.
Side-note: I nominate Neon Genesis for old school anime impactful and well written
Well said. That’s a really good point. DBZ had to survive weekly as a show so naturally they needed to drag things out a bit more.
I also get the points Dylan was making…but every point he made to detract from DBZ, you can say the same about Naruto yet he still had Naruto above AoT somehow.
Naruto has way too many flaws to be in a top 5 if you’re being critical and ignoring nostalgia and impact. And I’m not just talking about filler. I could say the same about One Piece probably but I’ll leave that alone since I haven’t seen it.
For me, with Nostalgia and Impact and all of that involved it goes
1. DBZ
2. Gundam Wing
3. Attack on Titan/FMA brotherhood (I honestly can’t separate them)
4. Fate Zero
5. Hunter x Hunter/Samurai Champloo (I can’t separate these either)
If we ignoring Nostalgia and shit
1. Attack on Titan
2. FMA Brotherhood
3. Fate Zero
4. Hunter x Hunter/Samurai Champloo
5. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
The fifth spot could’ve really went to a bunch of shows tbh. Ghost in the Shell: SAC, Darker than Black S1, Black Lagoon, Code Geass, NGE (original or Rebuild movies), and Vinland Saga. Cyberpunk probably got some recency bias going for it tbh but oh well.
I ain’t seen Stein’s Gate, Baccano or Monster yet but they could probably be up there too once I watch them based on what I heard.
I would also throw Ghost in the shell along side NGE for the point u made. Well written, probably one of the greatest animation spectacles when you consider the time it came out…and the Impact, while it wasn’t as large as DBZ, it still had a massive impact on the Sci-fi/futuristic/cyberpunk genre in all of media, not just anime. The fuckin matrix took inspiration from Ghost in the Shell. That hoe inspired a lot of shit.
I believe the demographic in 1980s, 90s would have been different. While the writing would have been good animes like Ghost in the shell, Kite, Blue Gender, Akira, Bubble Gum Crisis, Guyver, and Gundam were being put out.
The market was saturated with war themes, giant battles, and dark themes. I think Attack on Titan would have found it hard to differentiate itself during that time.
Also, isn't one of the reasons attack on Titans became so popular in the west was due to its initial comparison to the Walking Dead (I may be wrong on this). The time AOT and DBZ came out matters.
If Dragonball came out today, it wouldn't be the dragon ball of 1980s but a completely different story to match the current standard of writing.
I think back to 2013 when attack on Titan came out and the kind of like touching portion genres that it would fit into would be Mecha, zombie-ish, thriller, survival anime. And you're absolutely right compared to animes from the '80s and '90s, there were a lot darker more mature animes that were really popular.
But one thing I will say is if DBZ never came out animes these days would have gone in a different direction in terms of popularity. The martial arts, the fight scenes, moving soo fast you can't see them, the power ups, the transformers, the slight comedic relief, the "found family" values. Dragon Ball did a lot for anime's.
@fattygamer94 Absolutely agree. Actually, the Big 3 wouldn't exist. Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach were influenced in some way by either DB or Akira Toriyama himself.
I ageee with John cuz if AOT came out in 90/80s I don’t think would have been as known or even impactful as Dragoo ball. Because all of the things and shows that pop out during that time, doesn’t fit attack on titan moto or style. Plus most big and successful anime’s wax 300+ eps and I think pacing and story would have change just a little bit of AOT as well as its animation during the 90’s
Y'all keep saying but super come out in modern time so no
Agreed the formats and the direction of anime at that time were totally different would have been harder to stand out in that mix. DBZ created their mix and from that they spawned a whole genre. AOT is a Top 10 but I can’t say top 5 I’m a long time anime watcher and I’m not discrediting pass work for current work.
25:37 had me crying I swear y’all need a podcast💀😭
The Demon with the drums on his body was sending attacks at the speed of sound. TANJIRO saw, reacted to and dodged that. If Tanjiro is hypersonic a Hashira wipes the 9 titan shifters.
You silly eh 😂
Dragon Ball wouldn't have stood out as much if it came out today but it'd be the same for AOT if it came out back in the 80s/90s when dark and gritty anime were the norm. It also helped AOT that mecha genre fell off because everything it does, shows like Gundam, Evangelion Code Geass, and Gurren Lagann did first.
Happy to see how far yall come frfr keep goin dont stop cant wait for the manga to turn into a real show
Dragon ball and Jjk argument was really most influential vs highest quality
The light bulb example was actually great Edison set it off but any bulb today is better than what we had
In a test of quality all that matters is what can be objectively measured i.e. plot, characters, character depth/development, themes, scores, etc.
Back and forth is one of my favorite series
Everyone needs to remember that DBZ was WAY ahead of it’s time (aired in the early 90s) and it’s still Top 5… The longevity is CRAZY
wasn't it a 80's series? dbgt was air in 1996.
@@jdennis867 yeah z came out around 1989 so i just said early 90’s
Facts Dragon Ball Z also influenced a lot of these top animes that are being released today that even other anime creators admit they were influenced by Dragon Ball Z. Akira Toriyama of Dragon ball series was and is ahead of his times.
Quite surprised to find a comment like this. Alot of the times DBZ gets unnecessary hate
@@iAmLindooh ye cuz db began in like 1884 (anime in 1886)
John probably has the best understanding of ranking. Black and white movies are being ranked as greatest of all time still to this day and they're writing was not where it is today in some places.
I'd actually argue writing in movies has gotten worse compared to back then.
@@bofi1280 absolutely
There's levels to anime power scaling, the Hashira are leaps and bounds above the humans on AOT.
Dylan's point are valid especially when he gave the iphone and light bulb comparison. However when you look at any list of top 5 or top 10 most influential technology of all time you definitely won't be seeing iphone 15 on there.
Claymore came out in 2007, but Claymore is pretty much "90s AoT" and it didn't take off after Season1. You read the manga and see it is a severely underrated series, and on par with AoT in multiple aspects. The general interest isnt ever consistent. People liked different things across different points in time.
One hashira against a Titan that can become a nuke is an insane back and forth
Ik the hashria would speed blitz the shi out of dem 😂
@@r..e7045no they wouldn’t bro. One hashira cant solo the 9 shifters. Not a single one of them will be able to survive armin transformation they fast but not that fast Nigga it takes armin seconds to transform.
@@dzciple4931 hashria literally move faster then a blink of an eye and light speed if u didn’t know fo, they for sure is gonna be perfectly fine
@@dzciple4931nahhh they prolly gonna cut through the blast some crazy plot feat 😂
@@r..e7045😂😂😂 You are baiting so mf hard please
Awesome back and forth
