Not just in anime, but including literature, film, theater, all of human storytelling. It is THAT good. Plus, the soundtrack just doesn't miss, not even once. Marco, you NEED to watch this.

    It's very different from your typical anime in terms of writing and presentation. Even people who aren't into or familiar with anime have been blown away by it. The first season still has a bit of that generic anime feel at times, but it quickly comes into its own as an incredible work of fiction. It's a certified modern classic!

      I think it's cus the author had a really really clear idea of the message and emotions he wanted to evoke, the kind of moral dilemma that is so, so relevant to history and current events. You can tell he crafted the story around that concept (whereas a lot of shounen anime were crafted around the stereotypical main character battling harder and harder enemies and leveling up). Man. The entire story and journey is just incredible. Not unique of course, but you can tell he really really tried and it pays off.

I'd even compare the quality of the story and ending to that of breaking bad. One of my favorite shows. and widely known as one of the best shows ever written.

      An additional example can be viewed during the try not to cry video, where he hears Omori's Final Duet. Which is moving and emotional, however without full context it's simply a somber waltz quality.

    In case you're interested, the Attack ON titan song has three different tracks showing how the song evolves through the show. I highly recommend listening to them back to back so you can hear the differences and understand the story they tell together. The part in this video is the first one then is Attack ON titan WMId and the final is Attack ON titan TFSv. I hope you'll enjoy the amazing journey those songs will take you on.

    Sawado also composed the music for Guilty Crown, which I happened to watch before Attack on Titan. Getting into Attack on Titan, and hearing weird techno-jarble matched with crazy German lyrics just made me go "this is for sure the same guy". He has SUCH a signature, and the music is so insanely exciting to listen to.

    Other anime composers I really suggest you looking at is Yuki Kajura particularly the arrangement Thanatos for Kara no Kyoukai which is the most beautiful track in anime period, and also the work on Demon Slayer is stellar.
    Shiro Sagisu who is famous for his composition of Evangellion, Bleach and my personal favourite arrangement is all the work he did on Magi is absolutely phenomenal.

    AoT is insane because you've got unskippable openings like Guren no Yumiya and Shinzo wo Sasageyo, you've got haunting tracks like Vogel im Kafig and Call of Silence, and then you've somehow also got bops like Barricades and Splinter Wolf.
    Synth, Rock, Pop, Opera, Rap hell even Metal. One of those animes that will remain a staple for eternity. And I haven't even mentioned the writing.
    Each episode is only 20 minutes. Give the first one a watch, I promise you won't regret it. As someone who only started watching anime 3-4 months ago, AoT was the second anime I ever watched and it's definitely played its part into getting me hooked with a ton of other shows. There's a whole damn universe of shows with insanely well done music out there.

Some of the best known ones are Hanazeve caradhina, Rumble of Scientific triumph, Old Stories, VOH and I could keep going but in all honesty the whole two seasons and film all have outstanding soundtracks, fits the anime so dam well.

    Sawano also did music for Eighty-Six! 'Voices of the chord,' 'LilaS,' 'The Answer,' and 'Shin' are all great songs

    I will never tire of seeing professionals’ noodles explode when they react/analyze AoT’s OST.

    Attack on Titan is a feeling and the soundtrack conveys exactly that! I wish I could forget so I could watch it again as if it were the first time!!!

    OMG I LOVE THE AOT SOUNDTRACK I did not expect you to do react to this but I love it, I would lo e to see more anime stuff to be honest. But now that I remember I think you did react to an Attack on Titan soundtrack before.

    Marco, you should REALLY check out the Small band live Suite Sawano made. It is truly amazing and covers the OST in an incredible way!

    The "ətˈæk 0N tάɪtn" theme has 3 versions (this one, and ). You should react to all three of them in that order cause, not only are they great, but their evolution tells a story of its own

    I know the channel is supposed to focus on video games and such, but I’m not exaggerating when I say I’d kill a man to have you do a full series on Attack on Titan, it’s that good

    I loved so much your reactions and analyze, it’s incredible how accurate it is without having watch the anime. The music is really a language of emotions. (My words and vocabulary can’t describe how much I liked this video and music but I have a great moment :D)

    Damn, this makes one hopeful for a Muv-Luv Alternative OST reaction one day 🙂 Which'd be an old visual novel with a banger OST, that eventually inspired some of AoT.

    Oh man, one of my fave OSTs. Footsteps of Doom is just epic epic epic if ever you're planning to listen to more AOT OSTs.

    The season 3 version of the first track is INSANITY. The singer goes fucking bonkers.

    I am so glad you finally listened to these songs for a video! I followed you for the Genshin music stuff but Attack on Titan is my favourite anime, and the music is the love of my life. I've listened to it probably more than any sane person has. Sawano is a master of his craft. I fully believe that the music of AoT is cemented as iconic for its use of choir, electronic sounds, and harder rock instruments. I remember first hearing it and feeling like it was something I'd never experienced before. These two songs specifically are my favourites along with some others. Thank you for taking a look at them
