Well... in the end it has to do with something deeper... That would be the ideology that Zeke told Armin in the paths. That something that survived we call it life and was adapting and evolving, that eventually became us. And that the scene was symbolized with the “evolution” crushing pure titans next to Zeke, would mean that he prefers to be on the side of the life of others (Eldian euthanasia), rather than his own race. (Ironic that it would be symbolized with a “rumbling” of evolution towards the Eldians).
@@Metal-Spark yeah, its mikasa, she talks about her red scarf, and feeling like eren was leaving her. but no matter what she will wait for him under that tree.
My Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are definitely gonna feel a bit different now. It was a really nice little ritual for me to tune in for every new episode. Thanks for that!
@@theseekerofchaos5219 this! It’s frustrating how so many people consider it an opening sequence. If they wanted to do that, they’d have put it at the start.
the craziest part of ending 3 is that the painting with King Fritz and his daughter was shown in that ending BEFORE IT WAS SHOWN IN THE MANGA! THE ANIME FORESHADOWED THE MANGA!
Ngl Your Mods did an incredible job putting up the lyrics in every OP & ED. Lyrics add sooooo much to the context and the quality of the work done by these artists. More reactors should do this
@@Rock.D.Casbah I disagree. Without the emotional and meaningful lyrics, it's just beautiful music. What made them cry was the emotion and story behind those words
@@navo159i agree, without the lyrics maybe we still can feel the emotion. But the lyrics really add so much more to the context that makes us feeling even more sad than we already do
You noticed in ending 2 there was a foreshadowing in the wall scene where on one side there was eren, mikasa, armin etc and on the other side there was annie, reiner, etc who were hiding their real identities.
I remember when the OP “Red Swan” was ridiculed by everyone because it didn't have the epic style of the other openings. Today, after the end of the series, this opening hits in a different way...
When I heard Red Swan it gave me “the calm before the storm vibe,” which in the end it did. But after watching the whole series and relistening to Red Swan… It just hits different man
suddenly like it because Revo sang the song with Hyde (L'arc en Ciel's vocalist) even without knowing the meaning. but yeah, the meaning were different after finishing this series.
Seeing OP6 yeeted to the S tier immediately after it finished made me so happy 😂 Many people I've seen react to it either don't like it or are on the fence, so it is really nice to have someone fall in love with this opening so fast!
Knowing that MAPPA took over AOT for S4, S3's second ending feels to me like WIT studio reminiscing about the time they spent with AOT and saying goodbye to it.
Fun fact : the first half of the song playing at the finale (to you in 2,000 years, or perhaps 20,000 years) was originally a song sung and composed many years ago, titled "13 winters" (refrencing Mikasa was with eren for only 13 years) . But for the finale, they had Eren voice actor sing in the background and changed a bit of the lyrics. And in the last second of the song in streaming and offical platforms, after the song ends, Eren talks and clearly says "to you in 2,000 years, .. or perhaps 20,000 years". Perhaps not only being a reference to how Ymir waited for someone for 2000 years, but the boy and the dog stumbiling across the cave potentially another 2,000 or 20,000 years after the end.
Favorite little hidden detail that someone pointed out. Ymir (brunette) is in The Rumbling opening for like a quarter of a second. When it shows Galliard looking through the window, his reflection is Ymir.
I saw a her between Eren's toes at 49:11. I wounder if since she's the behind the scenes origin, if she doesn't have a hidden cameo in every one of them? Now I feel like to need to watch them all in quarter speed with a Sherlock Holmes hat on lol.
14:20 we were 2 seasons away from knowing the AoT history and they literally gave us that in this ending, from rise of Ymir to king Friz bringing his people to the island, and we had no idea what we were watching
@r_bear I had to look it up but, the history of AoT world was revealed in manga chapter 86 which came out on Oct 2016 while anime season 2 was released on Apr 2017 so it was actually after the manga, but I haven't caught up with the manga yet so I didn't understand this ed then
something to note about ending 3...at the time the ending came out...the foreshadowing shown had not even come out in the manga as at then..that's how insane it was
I gotta say as a huge AOT fan, I’ve watch tons of reactions and rankings of the OP’s and ED’s, and I gotta say this is definitely the best and my favorite. You both made sure to react to every single opening and ending, find subtitles for each one and actually took the time to analyze each one and understood their meaning perfectly. No other reactor has done this to this level. Huge props to the people that helped in making sure everything was in there. It was a very emotional ride and unforgettable journey. Love it!!❤️😭✨ And the Ranking was Perfect!! Nothing in AOT is below A tier, and almost everything is S tier. 😂❤
In ending 2 there is indeed a couple secrets! The murals show scenes from Eldia's history and they even show the titans inside the walls. Plus the characters on the first side of the wall are the ones who don't have anything to hide, but the ones on the second side of the wall are the titan shifters + Historia, who had not been revealed to be Historia at that moment.
Little correction in those subtitles 38:27 - "This world is cruel, but still I love you" 38:32 - "I'll sacrifice anything to protect you" It's about eren's feelings for mikasa and it's parallel to Ed 1
@@drkphoenix097 It felt like whoever subbed for "akuma no ko" they over interpreted it and made things complicated when it was very simple and straight
I can't help but adore how in the finale ' to you in 2000 years' -- Mikasa's verse and singing ends the second we see Mikasa's body in her casket with flowers, and linked horizon vocalist coming in. It's as if her voice died with her
37:33 Here where i live in Germany in the town Düsseldorf we have every year "japan day" its the biggest japan event in Europe and the voice actor from Mikasa was there and performed live the outro. It was magical, I love this outro
@@anontaku1I just finished Thriller Bark (Manga only) Where does the foreshadowing about serious stuff really begin? Because I feel like the foreshadowing is spread out all over the place so much, that I cannot actually get a grip.
I honestly feel so privilaged to be one of the billions of people that ever lived that was able to watch this amazing piece of ficion, honestly feel bad for everyone that never gets to watch it.
Great video as always. You need to see the "Ending the 10 Years Recording Attack on Titan Final" It is about the the last lines recorded from the VA's. It's so amazing to see them in person and especially Armin, Mikasa and Eren's
54 minutes of Haylo and Kiss reaction greatness, I will be seated. Edit: Poor Kiss looking like she's about to throw up on watching the EDs, I laughed but I felt her pain HAHA.
The rumbling was number one on the list of best metal songs for weeks. And it is my cellphone ringtone, it makes me jump everytime but I'm not gonna change it.
the final ending "see you later" song is a depiction of mikasa finally seeing eren after they both die, hence her waking up with her hand holding his, similar to how hange wakes up and sees erwin and everyone else after her death
16:00 Yes this ending is a great example of why I hate when the fans tell a reactor not to watch an OP for spoilers. Without context, these are not spoilers. You don't even know if the scenes shown in the OP are what is going to happen or are they an artistic choice until they actually happen. The fans just confirm it and ruin it for the reactors.
These endings and openings are so well written ❤ 1st ED was about Mikasa telling her love for Eren and the 7th ED was about Eren's love for Mikasa. I Love this anime❤
I also wanted to point out that when ymir ran to the tree in her time line she was being chased by dogs and was scared when she fell in. The boy at the end was exploring with his dog willingly when he went in. History is already restarting on a better foot ❤
ed 3 is still my favorite! it explains the whole aot lore but was such an erie and creepy song which gives off the vibes of how it must’ve felt being a human in the show just depressing and terrifying
Every time the "Name of Love" randomly plays in my playlist, I always starts tearing up in the middle of nowhere like when I'm heading to work in the train, and I'm trying to hold it in cuz people would think I'm being emo and cringe 😅
Red Swan definitely my top OP followed by Shinzou Sasageyo and Rumbling Akuma no Ko and that first ED they both compliment each other and Requiem of the Dawn all favs
I love how Haylee immediately love My War/Boku no Sensou , I have the same reaction the first time I hear the song, its still in my cardio work out playlist too. :D
Openings 1-3 & 5 are done by Linked Horizon. Each one takes something from the previous one. Except for OP4 which was supposed to be the ED4 but they exchanged it, so we’ll find references from OP3 with ED4 which is “Give your hearts“ and then ED4 with OP5 which was Requiem. And ofc they brought all of it together at the end in the final opening.
I swear to God... I listen the openings and endings (full versions of them on spotify) every single day. Watching this with you, I'm in TEARS, I'm literally at work bawling my eyes out. Thanks for reacting to this! 🥹♥️ PLEASE you need react to "Hiroyuki sawano / project Emu Attack on Titan suite" next!! You'll love it. Again thanks for making me cry one more time. 😭😭♥️♥️♥️
I don't think that's a dove, the remiges and the rectrices are way to dark for that. I've seen on common theory on the Internet that it was an arctic skua (also known as parasitic jaeger, wink wink), but it doesn't really looks like one, the skua being a marine bird with webbed feet, and even the lighter morphs aren't that white...
I rarely see people react to that actual ending song, the "To You in 2000..." one, and I'm so glad you did! That's my personal favorite, I had to just go and spend a whole day to learn it the first time I heard it.
I remember when opening 4 Red Swan was released, in the manga Eren was talking to Mikasa that he hated her, so it was already painful to watch that time as in the manga the trio was falling apart. 💔💔
44:23 Fight, fight, the words Eren told Mikasa since childhood. When he saved Mikasa And Mikasa used it when she knew Eren died in ep5 and this word helped Mikasa stay alive. Whether after learning that Eren died in ep5 or at the end.
been waiting for this!! thank you to the ones in our community that put this playlist together for them, so glad they were able to have more context with those descriptions too 👏
Most of these songs were all saying their goodbyes to Eren, wishing for a better world, wishing to have more time, Eren’s emotions and feelings. And to think before the final episode we all just shrugged our shoulders completely confused, yet unbothered. There was foreshadowing EVERYWHERE.
SiM released a 'music video' of sorts for Under The Tree which is like a super cut montage of shots from the final episode, and it hits so fucking hard. The little kid getting crushed with his coins, the officer shooting himself, the fight on top of the bones, oh man its crazy how well everything fits with the lyrics. Everything by SiM is just chef kiss. Also your reaction to ED 3 is exactly why i think it's dumb to try and convince people that the OPs and EDs spoil people. I was watching week to week, and unless you were caught up with the manga this shit was utterly baffling and meaningless. It's only a spoiler if you have hindsight, but if you miss it you miss the foreshadowing and the mystery that comes with it.
"The Rumbling" lyrics point at the parallel between Eren taking up a knife to save Mikasa and, well, the Rumbling. Eren must set aside his humanity or people he cares for will die. He has always had the freedom and the power to choose who lives and who dies, but as he is unable to bear the weight of responsibility for millions of lives, he tells himself he has no choice. He *wants* to be compelled to act in his own self-interest and carry forward with his eyes closed. He says he wants freedom, but in reality he can't bear the knowledge that he already has it.
The switch from these heroic, hopeful, melancholic, beautiful pieces of music, into the absolute inhumane haunting choir of My War was a traumatic event during release i swear. AND THEN IT GOT WORSE GOD I LOVE THIS SHOW only jojo comes close in terms of EDs and OPs, and AoT still sweeps.
AoT is one of those very few series that still manages to punch me in the gut with this indescribable wave if emotion every once in a while when I think back on it...some kind of mix of anger, love and sadness. I've been waiting for you guys to finish the series before watching the reactions, I'm very excited to go back and re-experience it all again. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it is very much appreciated!
I am so glad you guys were as obsessed with My War as I was when I first watched. It's so evocative, catchy, artistic, cool, and meaningful at the same time! it's quite literally a perfect opening! Isayama said he was listening to that song as he was writing/drawing the final chapters too, that's how much it resonated with him!
Girls I was crying with you 😭 I've enjoyed your lets watch so much, I cant even tell you how many reactions I've done watched. Something about this show will always have a piece of me
What i love about the Attack on Titan openings and endings, if you read the lyrics, it tells the whole AoT story and adds to it (ex from Eren POV), many times even before shown later in the series! Also about many confusing parts about Eren, he literally tells it to you in these.
The Rumbling opening is made by the band Silence iz Mine(Aka SiM) same ones who made “Under the tree” you should definitely check the full versions of those songs, they wont disappoint!
23:20 "a sweetly demonic voice demands that we pave a road of corpses to take us there." while showing Erwin, who was described by Floch as a devil, leading the scouts to their deaths. Pure poetry.
This show is top tier and for me personally it will always have a special place in my heart. It will be my most favorite show for a while if not ever ❤
I am so glad you guys watched this with lyrics, because they are so beautiful and meaningful. I think this is the Best reaction to openings i have seen of any reactor. ❤
13:08 Non AoT watchers: why are there dinosaurs?
AOT watchers: Why are there dinosaurs?
It's theorized to be a previous beast titan form, right
@@navo159 yeah that was a good theory
Well... in the end it has to do with something deeper... That would be the ideology that Zeke told Armin in the paths. That something that survived we call it life and was adapting and evolving, that eventually became us.

Hajime Isayama : Why are there dinosaurs?
God: Why are there dinosaurs?!
"We're gunna make a tier list about the openings and endings.." *makes everything S Tier*
This is the way!
Well to be fair they did sorta confirm to doing that at the beginning 1:13
I mean , any normal human would probably do the same
Fair enough
Well, it's not wrong
These 2 are no longer reactors but absolute fans of the show
That's why their show is better than the rest, they genuinely love the show, like us.
music actually good
Please react to the Attack on Titan Suite by Hiroyuki Sawano🙏🏽
Yea, please react. Its so amazing
This please

@@tabithadejong6365nah, it's Freedom
@@boggless2771 It's pain, man. They described it pretty accurately.
Op 7 and it's ending is erens conflicting emotion towards the rumbling
Lmao there is no recovering from the AOT ending, it never leaves you
Me and the wife saw SiM live in concert and let me tell you, hearing The Rumbling live was an absolute out of body experience!
I wish that was me fr
Yes I've been to one too, and it just makes the song feel completely different
Not so fun fact, the “under the tree” song is actually Mikasa’s POV with her carring Eren’s head to the tree
Holy shit, I thought it was Eren "moving forward" but that's so much more powerful. The video is super simple but that fact elevates it so much.
Ok now thats disburbing but i couldnt expect anything else from AOT ;,(
@@Metal-Spark yeah, its mikasa, she talks about her red scarf, and feeling like eren was leaving her. but no matter what she will wait for him under that tree.

@@Animeke-san hell yes
Ah, a man of culture, I see.
Good to know i am not alone

Crazy to think about, Isayama was five galaxies away from the curb
Ngl Your Mods did an incredible job putting up the lyrics in every OP & ED. Lyrics add sooooo much to the context and the quality of the work done by these artists. More reactors should do this
I'd argue context isn't important when you've already finished the story. If anything, it just takes focus away from the art and animation

and historia is there because she's hiding her identity, but she's facing the shifters because she isn't one
Came here to say this.
Starts in 7:58 guys.
OMG I'm so happy that S4's first OP FINALLY gets the love it deserves
It's such a bop! I would rank it #1 but it's hard to resist The Rumbling.
Glad to see someone appreciate it! Good taste of listening music
The people that made that one also made the 3rd ending
I quite like both, but it is disappointing that not many people heard the ending
I remember when the OP “Red Swan” was ridiculed by everyone because it didn't have the epic style of the other openings. Today, after the end of the series, this opening hits in a different way...

You know AoT is a LEGENDARY anime/show when even the openings and endings make you not only nostalgic but also very emotional.
"Why do we do this? We should not do tier lists." 😂 I low key approve of tier lists w all s. It's consistent. Good form!
Attack on Titan Suite by Hiroyuki Sawano next! its so good

I swear to God... I listen the openings and endings (full versions of them on spotify) every single day. Watching this with you, I'm in TEARS, I'm literally at work bawling my eyes out. Thanks for reacting to this! 🥹♥️ PLEASE you need react to "Hiroyuki sawano / project Emu Attack on Titan suite" next!! You'll love it.
Again thanks for making me cry one more time. 😭😭♥️♥️♥️
This show changed my life, it's just that good! Seeing you watch it was so much fun. Thank you!
The singer at the beginning of ending 9 is Mikasa's voice actress, and the voice that joins in the dove scene is Eren's voice actor.
I don't think that's a dove, the remiges and the rectrices are way to dark for that. I've seen on common theory on the Internet that it was an arctic skua (also known as parasitic jaeger, wink wink), but it doesn't really looks like one, the skua being a marine bird with webbed feet, and even the lighter morphs aren't that white...
4th Ending is my favourite because of that moment when it glitched and served us some unexpected mindfuck
I'm 100% certain that the pov in Under the Tree is Eren's head. Mikasa is carrying him back to Paradis to bury him. 😭
Shouldn’t his head be facing Mikasa then? Why is it looking down? 🤔
@@sallyi929for the sake of making an ending they retconned it for the ending only? Idk
@@SmartWatches-xu6ri lol I guess…
I thought it was just Eren looking down and walking 🤷♀️
idk either
私はセカンドシーズンのエンディングテーマと映像が一番お気に入り。
アニメが放送されていた時点で原作の漫画は未完結でしたが、なんと演出を監修した原作者はこの物語の真実を全てそこに開示したのです。
真実がそこにあったにも関わらず、視聴者も読者もアニメスタッフでさえも誰も映像の意味を理解していませんでした。
これは恐るべきサプライズだと今でもそう思っています！
43:15 The singer of this song is Yui Ishikawa - Mikasa's VA - and you can hear Yuki Kaji - Eren's VA - joining in the 1st chorus of the song....
I rarely see people react to that actual ending song, the "To You in 2000..." one, and I'm so glad you did! That's my personal favorite, I had to just go and spend a whole day to learn it the first time I heard it.
So happy for the My War love! Took me a few listens to fully appreciate it but is my favorite now
I remember when opening 4 Red Swan was released, in the manga Eren was talking to Mikasa that he hated her, so it was already painful to watch that time as in the manga the trio was falling apart. 💔💔
44:23 Fight, fight, the words Eren told Mikasa since childhood. When he saved Mikasa And Mikasa used it when she knew Eren died in ep5 and this word helped Mikasa stay alive. Whether after learning that Eren died in ep5 or at the end.
Rumbling and Under the tree are just too good.
I blast it in my car every time
been waiting for this!! thank you to the ones in our community that put this playlist together for them, so glad they were able to have more context with those descriptions too 👏
Most of these songs were all saying their goodbyes to Eren, wishing for a better world, wishing to have more time, Eren’s emotions and feelings. And to think before the final episode we all just shrugged our shoulders completely confused, yet unbothered. There was foreshadowing EVERYWHERE.
SiM released a 'music video' of sorts for Under The Tree which is like a super cut montage of shots from the final episode, and it hits so fucking hard. The little kid getting crushed with his coins, the officer shooting himself, the fight on top of the bones, oh man its crazy how well everything fits with the lyrics. Everything by SiM is just chef kiss.
Also your reaction to ED 3 is exactly why i think it's dumb to try and convince people that the OPs and EDs spoil people. I was watching week to week, and unless you were caught up with the manga this shit was utterly baffling and meaningless. It's only a spoiler if you have hindsight, but if you miss it you miss the foreshadowing and the mystery that comes with it.
"The Rumbling" lyrics point at the parallel between Eren taking up a knife to save Mikasa and, well, the Rumbling. Eren must set aside his humanity or people he cares for will die. He has always had the freedom and the power to choose who lives and who dies, but as he is unable to bear the weight of responsibility for millions of lives, he tells himself he has no choice. He *wants* to be compelled to act in his own self-interest and carry forward with his eyes closed. He says he wants freedom, but in reality he can't bear the knowledge that he already has it.
The switch from these heroic, hopeful, melancholic, beautiful pieces of music, into the absolute inhumane haunting choir of My War was a traumatic event during release i swear.
AND THEN IT GOT WORSE
GOD I LOVE THIS SHOW
only jojo comes close in terms of EDs and OPs, and AoT still sweeps.
Yeah they should consider to check out JoJo at least once
Vinland Saga?
AoT is one of those very few series that still manages to punch me in the gut with this indescribable wave if emotion every once in a while when I think back on it...some kind of mix of anger, love and sadness. I've been waiting for you guys to finish the series before watching the reactions, I'm very excited to go back and re-experience it all again. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it is very much appreciated!
I am so glad you guys were as obsessed with My War as I was when I first watched. It's so evocative, catchy, artistic, cool, and meaningful at the same time! it's quite literally a perfect opening! Isayama said he was listening to that song as he was writing/drawing the final chapters too, that's how much it resonated with him!
Girls I was crying with you 😭 I've enjoyed your lets watch so much, I cant even tell you how many reactions I've done watched. Something about this show will always have a piece of me
What i love about the Attack on Titan openings and endings, if you read the lyrics, it tells the whole AoT story and adds to it (ex from Eren POV), many times even before shown later in the series! Also about many confusing parts about Eren, he literally tells it to you in these.
The Rumbling opening is made by the band Silence iz Mine(Aka SiM) same ones who made “Under the tree” you should definitely check the full versions of those songs, they wont disappoint!
23:20
"a sweetly demonic voice demands that we pave a road of corpses to take us there." while showing Erwin, who was described by Floch as a devil, leading the scouts to their deaths. Pure poetry.
Name of Love is my favorite, it makes me cry every time, knowing almost all of them are dead.
Mine too! Although, all the ED and OP are good and unique in their own ways.
especially after that one episode with kruger and grisha 😭
This entire reaction of AoT is S tier!
The full length version of the rumbling is also EXCEELLENT. The second half makes it twice as good.
Such an interesting perspective for people who have finished the show to watch them blind. Amazing reactions.
The way My War had y'all GAGGED was so relatable 😂 it's such an iconic song!
OP 3 will forever be my favorite!
'My War' rating didn't disappoint.
Wake up babe, the Haylo and Kiss DLC pack dropped!
This show is top tier and for me personally it will always have a special place in my heart. It will be my most favorite show for a while if not ever ❤
37:31: song with Eren's perspective
39:30 song with Mikasa's perspective
14:22 "ooh its like a happy" famous last words
10000% loved this video, you guys were so excited and hype. It's been a blessing to watch you guys experience all of this!!! 🎉
I am so glad you guys watched this with lyrics, because they are so beautiful and meaningful. I think this is the Best reaction to openings i have seen of any reactor. ❤
I am happy my fav OP “My War” got recognised
46:04 the following two german lines are actually "anger and hate are a double-edged blade" and after that simply "the history repeats itself"
