The Disturbing Reality of Attack on Titan

Iseyama: I want to write a story that's easy to understand. Also Iseyama: writes Eren

I miss attack on Titan i m still trying to cope

The end frame of the final episode that just says "The End" in total silence hit too hard.

This anime has somewhat ruined entertainment media for me. Isayama's deep & accurate understanding of human nature, makes this anime into almost a documentation of human emotions/behaviour. Something that I can very rarely find anywhere else. I hope something in the future can live up to the care for storytelling that has been shown here.

I'm so glad I binged watched the WHOLE series for the first time recently. Also without getting spoiled. It was an amazing experience

Your story made me feel kinda old ….I was 19, in college, had just moved into my first apartment with a roommate… Now I’m 29 and own a house with a kid . Crazy 10 years man.

1:04:39 the Rumbling in AoT is sort of what I expected from "Winter is Coming" in GoT... I'm sooooo glad that AoT made The Rumbling the horrifying event that everyone was scared that it would be. GoT made so much ado about nothing regarding winter coming, and it's like we blinked, and it came and went. 😅

Something about AoT that always got to me was how, despite the initial premise we were given, it has always been a show about people, doing people things, for people reasons - there is no hero, no villain, no definitively "right" side, in fact it just shows that EVERYONE is wrong in some way or other when it comes to war. What got to me more was how, while the first three seasons portrayed the positive side of being human - that yes, we struggle, and we make mistakes, but so long as we fight, so long as we believe, there is always hope - season four portrayed the negative side of being human, the ways in which even the best of us fail. Season four triggered my depression HARD, a few episodes in I was starting to feel like I didn't want to live - not because the show was bad, but because it was so good at portraying the grimness and misery of the world, it nearly broke me with how real it was. That's why I can never call AoT one of my top five favorite Anime - it's definitely one of the BEST Anime, best SHOWS, I've ever seen, but I can't honestly say I enjoy it, because it forces me to see the true depths of the awfulness in the world that I frankly watch shows to try to forget about. In a way, that's a point in its favor. Still makes me feel miserable when I watch it, though.

Great video! But i think you got one small thing incorrect about Armin. At 17:42 you mention that he runs away from his fights. I’ve never seen him run away from a fight. Especially not from the Colossal Titan. He just lets the bullies beat him up as he tries to verbally outsmart them. In fact, that was Eren’s question to Armin when they first met “Why don’t you run?”

Dude, i can hear u talkin about AoT for hours. Peak content right here

Stuck with my boy Eren for 10 years, they really thought we were gonna switch up for a bit of genocide???

Man, I tried to move on to another anime after finishing AoT and man is it just hard. It was just so good and so emotionally charged. The ending was so brutal but beautiful and watching these videos is just so cathartic. You could have talked for another hour and I'd have been fine with it.

The two main characters on Attack on Titan fits perfectly on the two concepts of freedom from Russian-British philosopher Isaiah Berlin: Armin Arlert is the embodiment of positive freedom, and Eren Yeager is negative freedom.

For me, the soundtrack is SNK’s peak. Every score is perfect. It is so unique, ponctual and chaotic. They are beautiful and tell the story for themselves. They are as alive as everything in this world. I cannot imagine this series without remembering the music.

I read Attack on Titan alongside Berserk in Highschool. Great mangas.

As much as I completely love this video, your pronunciations are INFURIATING me 😭😭😭

I am hungry and you have just given me food

Mikasa really does loved Eren with all of her heart but her two roles as his protector (since Carla asked her to loo after her son) and being a lover (since we have seen time again of her feeling towards him). While she had suffered the 7 stages of grief in the final season, my question is do you think Mikasa regrets her response to Eren at the Refuge Camp.

This is gonna be my essay in class thanks

I would like to see you make a video like this for the Evangelion series. Attack on Titan and The Evangelion felt like two sides of the same coin. About life, existence, the misery of life and its beauty
