Heya! I've been wanting to talk about Attack on Titan for a long time, and I'm super glad I finally got around to making a video. A ton of work went into this, and I hope it shows. This is a very different video type than the one I'm used to and I hope the point I'm trying to make gets across. Anyways, thank you so much for watching and for all the support. I hope your year's been off to a great start! ﾍ(=^･ω･^= )ﾉ

I like how this video is exactly 13 minutes long
13 years to live like the titans with abilities.
It should be 13:09
would be bettet if it was 13:09 tbh
Lol
OOOOOO
Attack on Titan is my main source of inspiration. It’s what keeps me going. I want to make a manga of my own, though I’ll probably never be as good as Isayama.
I say go for it even if your not great try again if you don't try you'll never get there
Just have fun with it! That’s the most important thing
@@rickrossstagedive3490 agreed
Are you saying AoT is making you “Keep moving forward”? Eyy?
@@rynfornow3411 eyyy I see what you did there ahhhhh
u have to do this again after the series concludes. that‘d be dope
Disappointment lol. The ending is quite disappointing
@@immentallyhandicapped2903 nope 139 ain't real aot no requiem is the canon ending aot is still the goat.
hopefully
@@kingslayerx1716Trash fan you're not considered a part of the community
Best anime, best anime ending
I always tried to understand how the story was built but you rly made the process clear. I am working on my own story and this video was a solid steping stone
Update?
@@kingslayerx1716 update??
update???
What’s your story about if willing to share?
@@biellaspointofview2054 it's about the real events that inspired the myths of my world's present day and the huge differences in what was and what is remembered/revered - and why they are so different. While AoT did that I'm more into antropology and history overall, so Im positive i can bring something new to the table when and if the time comes.
You actually have no idea how much this helped me. I’ve been working on writing a story that starts a lot like how Attack on Titan ends, with the war between two cultures with differing perspectives. However as I’ve written episode 4 I’ve started to feel dissatisfied because the story is too similar to Attack on Titan. Tonight Im going to do what you did in this video. I’ll come up with an idea so radically different from where I am now, and find logical and rational ways to tie it back to the place where I started, to cover over the course of the seasons. We’ll see what I come up with,
Thank you for the help, my friend
I’m planning on writing a story too. I feel dissatisfied too when some of my plot is too similar to AoT (but any other story works). If i may give some ‘advice’, i feel like i need to find other works i love to find inspiration, so i can create some kind of giant mix of works i like.
Idk if i made myself clear, but i hope you are moving forward with your story :)
What's your story and where can I read it?
@@immentallyhandicapped2903 it’s called the Accursed and I’m going to be turning it into an animated series on my YT channel in hopefully a few years, but that timeframe could be much greater depending on how hard college hits
@@allthatjazz4437 So I can't read it yet? Well good luck then. I hope one day you can finally upload the episodes
@@immentallyhandicapped2903 not yet, but thank you for the support 🙏
one of the best quotes ive heard (dont know who said it sorry) is "keep copying until your work becomes original" thank you for bring up this point and reminding me of the is quote
There's some crazy stuff from around chapter 122 that relates all the way back to chapter fricking 1. AOT recontextualizes it's own story in ways I've never seen another story do
My fellow manga reader
Yeah, that confirmed for me that Isayama 100% wrote the story in reverse.
i believe isayama was inspired by drunk people for the titants and obviously also mecha shows
Yeah, the movements of titans are similar to drunken men. Probably that's his inspiration for how the titans move
Isayama did get the initial inspiration for the titans as well as the story when he encountered a drunk customer at an internet café he was working at and realized that humans were the most familiar and the most scary animals to encounter. Isayama fleshed out that concept using Norse mythology and mecha anime as a base and then added his own personal flair to it such as basing Reiners titans design off of the wrestler Brock Lesnar. Isyama is a very big fan of mma, wrestling, and martial arts fan. You can also circle back to the drunk man inspiring the story. The concept that humans are the scariest thing on the planet is used heavily in the story of attack on titan the titans were never the villains of the story in fact everything bad that happens in the story is the fault of a person and the scariest part is that most characters actions usually seem justified or at least understandable the only real exception being the man who had Fae eaten by dogs. Bertolt has really poetic line regarding this concept in season 3 part 2 where he says something along the lines of no one is in the wrong but someone is going to have to die, this worlds just that cruel.
Great insight on how the author may have written the manga and great editing in ur vid as always! Keep up the great work man!
How is it that you only make banger videos. It's just banger after banger. I'm real proud of you, homie.
Dude this video is SUPER underrated, I wish more people to see it! This is amazing! As a writer myself it’s hard sometimes to let go of the high expectations that oneself has, but this video reminded me that you just got to start. Nothing is born fully grown, it starts with a seed and with times it develops into something amazing, regardless of success because it is amazing because you make it, and that’s all.
I probably keep watching this video every time I feel discouraged. THANK YOU!
I see the making of a great UA-camr. I'll be witnessing your growth.
And I can proudly say that I was his 257th sub!!!
Your voice is so soothing. This was a pleasure to listen to
Super enjoyable watch! I've only watched a little of AOT and was too scared to continue, but loved the story. So this is really cool to see an insight into the author's thought process
one critique I have is to keep the ending shorter. One way that the UA-cam algorithm works is it promotes videos based on how long a person stayed to watch. So if a video is getting clicked away at say 1:30 and the video is 12 minutes long, the algorithm won't support that video as much. While this video was entrancing, very good storytelling on your part, I noticed the actual content of the video ended about a minute before the actual vid did. Already the algorithm is going to be on your side based on the content, but boosting yourself that extra minute couldn't hurt. I also get wanting to thank your subscribers so maybe make it short and sweet? Or just do a separate video. Anyways, awesome video, I subscribed :)
Ahhhhh I had a friend tell me that too. I appreciate the feedback, and I’ll try to keep the ending shorter for the next one. Thanks for the watch 😊
Not every writer is like JK Rowling where they plan the whole story from the ending before writing.
It all depends on the way they like to work, there are two types of writers: The Plotters and the Pantsers. I myself like to write so I am aware of the work methods that some writers may have preference.
The kinds of writers like JK Rowling are known as plotters or Architects, they usually prefer to create detailed outlines (blueprints)and timelines about the characters and plot direction. They know how every chapter is going to go because it all leads to the final outcome. It’s more difficult to become blocked and start procrastinating when you know exactly what you have to do to get to the finish line.
The disadvantage of this method is if you want to make a change along the way, it’ll be more difficult without wrecking the entire plan - you might even have to start over. There is little flexibility to this method which can cause problems when we become inspired as we work.
Now the Pantsers are different from the plotters, they prefer to make up their stories as they go. They are also known as gardeners because they plant many plot points and they develop them as the story goes. It can lead to a story with very organic development, but they can suffer from plot holes and difficulties to tie up all the loose ends.
They are not confined by an outline and have the freedom and flexibility to change things as they work. Writing is exciting because it’s as great a mystery to you as your future reader.
Many successful writers can be labeled as the Gardener type. A good example is George R. R Martin, he didn't plan the whole story of ASOIAF, yet his books are exceptional and have many foreshadows and incredible world-building. Stephen King is another one who doesn't like to plan ahead his story before writing.
But there is also the in-between of the two, they are known as Plantsers, they are a mix of Plotters and Pantsers, and I think this one suits Isayama better. Reading his manga, I have the impression that before writing he had a good idea of how he wanted to end the manga but he didn't have every single plot point planned, so he developed things as he went along. Planting some ideas here and there since chapter 1 and outlining the big picture based on that, so he could come back to them later and develop these foreshadows and Ideas with more depth. Sometimes he would have new ideas and develop them even further.
I remember reading somewhere that to not get lost on his own story, sometimes he would read the whole manga again and see what loose ends he had to tie up.
You know it’s a good day when Khang uploads a video
Attack on titan was definitely a source of inspiration for my story
Way to built your story's world:
Preplot some major points
Decide perfect ending
Joint plot points in a senseful way
And yeah, story should be interesting
thanks!
Bruh you’re video is heartwarming especially those last seconds💜💜
This is beautiful, I know your channel will blow up! Just keep going at it please!
In an interview somewhere, isayama said that the inspiration came from the fact that he grew in an area isolated by mountains and forest. When he venture outside he always wonder what lays beyond the forest and mountains. What if there are monsters outside and people of his village can't leave because of them. This inspiration is what makes Isayama's first concept comic of attack on titan uses forest of thick giant trees as walls to fend off titans not literal walls in the current anime and manga
You deserve much more subscribers. That's all I'm gonna say...
I wish you would read the manga it has even more hints and foreshadowing of what's to come even early on in the manga.
But I really hope you do a follow-up video to this after the whole series ends.
YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO UNDERRATED OMG
you deserve to get more subscribers!
What a great video!!!! I feel really inspired now to write all the stories I have in my head. Thank you so much
I just watched your video, and it's just cool what you did by imagining how Isayama built the world of AoT! I can see your passion with the series from your voice, the words, the music you chose and the editing. Thanks for doing this!
Damn this video is really high quality and an intriguing incite to what could potentially be Isayama’s thoughts. I don’t watch other anime than AoT, but your content is really good considering your size. Have a new subscriber😁
There is another great layer of spices will be added before its end and if I have not read the manga or if manga didn't exist at all and this story was only told to us with the series, I wouldn't imagine how this world came to be and where it is going from what we've seen on tv so far. This is art. This story is a masterpiece. Isayama is such an incredible writer. With all of the element you've mentioned, this only proves nobody else could create this but him. We're grateful for his work.
This video is incredible, how do you only have 300 subscribers? You’re so good keep it going! Love it 💪🏽
Ahhhh I have just rewatched the episode about Zik's story and flashbacks and was searching for someone who could just explain the universe of Titan in his own differnt way, cause I love it so so but cannot sometimes find the words to explain it. Thank you for new thoughts and being an artist myself your speech in the end inspired me to heaven. Continue following your gifts and talents. Thank you for an amazing mood!
Attack on Titan is truly my inspiration for my story
Dude this video is legit so great and accurate.
Thank you sir, I’ve needed this for the past 5 years, you may have just pushed me to finalize my novels!
That's a wonderful video. It will help me to create my own story. Thank you.
Damn, found this video while reading the book Steal Like An Artist.. this explains it well. Thank you!
I love your video, but I don't think Isayama started by the ending. Most of the interviews suggest the opposite. He started with the idea of titans attacking a town hidden among trees, an idea that was further expanded. I'm writing a book and I find the method you propose very helpful, thanks.
What’s ur book about
@@kingslayerx1716 I find it hard to define, it's kind of sci fi horror, but it starts as a psychological thriller.
@@MM-ts9jy I’d love to read it when it’s complete
Glad I clicked on this. Keep up the good work.
wow you are ahead of current time mate. i would speculate that these kind of videos will be out once this season ends...
This is as amazing as much as it is underrated. Please do it
again after the series ends.
i am so glad i found this video. you actually expanded my way of thinking. please keep doing what you do.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He foreshadowed that with the title of the first episode/chapter
GODAMN I love your videos
I'm grateful to the UA-cam, it showed me a very good channel. The vid was so good. i expect big things of you!keep improving your work!
I subbed, will you do more Isayama writing content plz
I would argue the walls came before the colossal titans. The story is more about freedom and free will, than about war and politics. He definitely wanted walls first, and have this caged bird theme going on, which then leads to a giant person looking into the cage, so on and so forth.
This was such a well thought-out video
Wow, great video! It was so cool to see how you think he took such broad things and break them down and add things from other works to create the masterpiece that is AOT. Keep up the good work!
omg this is what i’ve always thought !! thank you for pointing out😭
attack on titan has such a long lasting impact on you
Love this video! You talk in a way that is calming and makes me wanna watch more especially because the topic is rlly interesting hehe
Nice thought experiment, but he probably went from the particular to the general... As far as I know we got part of the inspiration form Darabon's film The Mist. Great video!!! Thanx!!!
316 subscribers!!!!???? Oh no no no no. You need at least 316,000 subscribers. This is way too good to not be at the top of AOT UA-cam content.
Keep the great work! Amazing video and editing.
This is by far the best video analysis on attack on titan... Thank you for this
This video is so good, how do u have so little subscribers?
My dude, you deserve more subscribers
Word
Brilliant! This is actually a method used by chess masters called "backward analysis"!
This video is so helpful and a banger. Subbed
Well done mate love the vid AOT for life
An insightful and amazing video ❤️❤️
FOR THE RECORD, I WAS HERE AT 510 SUBSCRIBERS, I'LL SEE YOU IN A FEW MONTHS WHEN YOU'RE HITTING 50K, CYA UNTIL THEN! LOVED THE VIDEO BTW :D
Never happened
@@baggybones oh wow i forgot abt this comment, im glad he made it to 13.2k tho
@@connergreen3178 True,13k is quite the achievement
Isayama is a GOD in human form, basically Jesus
thank u for this amazing video ...I think now I can write my story .... ❤️
11:20 attack on titan is my biggestt inspiration! And isayama
Hope you do well
Mine too
I very much disagree with your interpretation.
Isayama didn't start with the end, it's pretty clear when you look at old interviews. He didn't expect SNK to be this long. In 2013 he thought he could finish the manga in 20 volumes. In 2015 it was 27. It ended up being 34 volumes.
I've seen a lot of people say that Isayama planned everything from the beginning, especially after the start of the final season part 2, but it's just not true. Here I'm talking about specific plot points, but it's also the case for the bigger parts of the lore. Such as the conflict between Eldia and Marley, and probably the Rumbling too.
Just because something from earlier comes back later in the story it doesn't mean that it was originally planned. That's what a lot of foreshadowing is: building up on things from earlier in the story. Even if at the time you didn't exactly know how it would pan out. Isayama is very good at this, that's why people think he had everything in mind from the start.
He developed the world of SNK progressively, month after month, as he was writing it. But yes, he did also plan things, like the titans shifters for example.
Yes, you are right but it doesn't mean he didn't plan it from the end that he didn't expect this to be this long. So I think isiyama created his plan before he started to publish the manga; however not detailed too much, because if he would plan completely before he makes his first step, he could have hesitated if manga will be liked or not. He started to detail and complete the manga after it is liked. I think he would have write.
OMG! His sources of inspiration stretch to different parts of the world relating to inventions, history and mythology and that's just beautiful!
P.S. Every time people ask what the show is about...I'll show them this video. Great job dude!
So underrated channel!
"the tragedy of dina fritz eating grishas wife" omegalul
You need more subscribers. Great work!
idk if you made another video after the final episodes but I'm here to remind you if you want hehe
This is actually not how he came up with the whole story but video’s still good😂
subscribed.......you are a genius!!
Keep up the good work bro you got yourself a new subscriber!!!!
This show is an inspiration for me
This was a great video, but I think the process was a lot simpler than that. I think a lot of his inspiration just came from Norse mythology. Asgard, the celestial stronghold is surrounded by a a large, protective wall that defends them from attacks from Giants.
Also in Norse mythology, Ymir was the first Giant. 👀
I still can't imagine creating such a story with sooo much great characters in such a logical way but still hsving the biggest plot twists ever. For example historia, i wasn't even realizing she existed till season 2 and in season 3 she had such a great character development that was beginning from season one on and the key to this development was ymir, and who is this? Someone who wants historia to accept herself and stop being kind to everyone, well, who is ymir? Ymir is the reason why just 3 titan shifters came to paradis and not all 4 and here begans the part where my brain starts to explode, easy one of the best stories ever made. No doubt
Nice please include an extra in the rest of the season. Cool intake on the author and his work, thanks!! 🙏
I cant even think the genius of isiyama i mean the twists the theroy the everything the themes the dialogue my god
This video was really amazing :)
Your theory is correct. He said he knew the ending from the very start of the story. Thats why the story is so cohesive and intricate, with things even hinting at the start to where the story will go.
An interesting tidbit how Titans were thought up: a drunk man came into Isayama's work while he was at the beginning stages of creating AoT (don't remember the full story). From that experience he realized the scariest things in the world was other humans. Thus the concept of man eating Titans came to be.
This is such an amazing video. Its super insightful too. A while back a friend of mine and I saw this Harry Potter meme (this was when Rowling was making weird shit canon, like Harry being gay and Ron Dumbledore having 7 testicles and shit), where the first book was called "Giuseppe Stromboli and the suitcase of Meatballs". We died laughing and thought it was a hilarious idea. And then by some stroke of genius we thought this could be a good Italian mafia type story. Giuseppe was the son of a murdered Mafia member, but unaware of his heritage. He ended joining a syndicate family (like the Hogwarts houses) and the main antagonist would some narc who killed his papa (Voldemort). We gave all characters mafia type names, fleshed out the whole Hogwarts/Syndicate crossover and even decided it would be better to steel this story as a Game of Thrones/Peaky Blinders type series instead of multiple movies.
This is the first time I realised that we were kind of doing what you just explained. Taking known and used concepts, throwing very broad ideas towards it to give it its own distinct character and then filling in the gaps along the way.
Thank you my man. I will recommend this channel to friends, have this subscription on my behalf in the meantime. Cant wait to see you grow on this platform.
Thank God I saw this video
Great video, loved it
Ur video is so underrated thank u so much 💗
This video was amazing!!! Thank you!
Damn, this is a well made video. Subbed, just for this one
Good job man. This is a great video
between attack on titan and james cameron's avatar, I wanna do more with biological mecha
Man is a genius
And the lesson is: start
he knows what people in japanese anime love, and it is gundams, but there was too many of them already, so what about children controlling a giant. and also there is this formula of all epic stories ever made. they have this one similarity, something huge has happened in the past, usually a war, and then the series is build on consequences of this history that has an impact on present story. HP, LOTR, SW, GOT, evangelion,... and then next thing is to have an idea to an epic ending and lead the story to that point
The titans in AoT are referred to as "kyojin," which simply means "giant."
Has he played the Tales of... series? Because Attack on Titan's story for Eren's motivation reminds me of Dhaos' from Tales of Phantasia as the main villain.
Both are destroying the world to save their own. In Dhaos' case, his home planet.
Great video my compliments from Italy, bravissimo
seriously underrated
HAJIME ISAYAMA is the guy who understands the reality of humanity and the answers of the questions asking purpose to live this life given to us...
incredible video!
wow good vid
Did I want just realized attack on Titan is a Gundum anime
