    Can we take a moment to admire the absolutely THUNDERING horn rips in this song? Truly a powerhouse of an opening.
  • The ops of Attack on Titan are not just ops. They’re an experience, giving you the feeling you fight with them
  • The full version of this opening theme has a RIPPING organ solo in it that you NEED to check out
  • This one and Sasageyo are objectively the most iconic in the franchise, but you should totally cover OP 2 because it is criminally underrated
  • 10 years ago I freaked out to how this song was structured. 10 years later you're doing exactly the same as I did and that makes me happy to know that another piano player is as hyped with the song!

    Your ability to figure out almost any song in seconds, not just melody, but key, chords, patterns as well?! Charles. My man.
  • The 1st OP has such a power to it. Incredibly driving, especially the bridge. the end of it is so grand. And the 1st Ending is so beautiful and tranquil. Such a great contrast. That "JE-GAR!!" in the Chorus of the OP always gets me.
  • The composition is great, but the arranging really takes this whole thing to another level. The maximalist approach really portrays how intense and melodramatic the show is, and the horns and choral elements compliment the German/European aesthetic. I think the second opening leans into that more, but it's stunning just how well this first opening fits the show top to bottom.
  • I think most of the people that watch your videos dont understand a word you are saying but are having so much fun getting second hand enjoyment from the enjoyment you get reviewing the songs that they like so much
  • Can you PLEASE go over more Attack on Titan themes? Hiroyuki Sawano is a genius. A few great/interesting ones are YouSeeBIGGIRL/T:T, APETITAN, Vogel Im Kafig, and Symphonicsuite (Aot) Part1-1st: Osk.
  • Smol little critique, my apologies but I did notice a tiny mistake. You said at the beginning that the melody just repeats itself but that's not exactly true. The motion is essentially the same, yes but when it's played for the second time, the 5th note of the sequence is actually a semitone higher. You got it right for the next part though (before the widdly diddly bit haha). My ear just picked up on the off note and I just thought I should say something lol.
  • Attack On Titan has some of the best series music, with the horn rips to the powerful impacts in every theme.
  • I don't know who does your editing, but they deserve a raise. It's literally a main reason why I watch your content (along with your incredible knowledge and skill, obviously lol). I mean, in this video alone we have moments like 4:02, 6:46, 9:52, 11:45, 11:55, 12:32, and then all the subtitle things around the start of minute 13. Maybe they aren't just objectively funny, but I think they're hilarious! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge in such a fun, wholesome way, please never change!

    Attack on Titan Wmid has to be by favorite piece of music from any show ever. That song is literally a feeling.
  • @nuts1302
    Vogel im Käfig is easily the best soundtrack in AOT its actually a masterpiece.
  • @DBasedAlex
    Would LOVE to hear him break down the “My War” theme song

    You only get to talk about Linked Horizon's Opening Song here but I would recommend checking out Hiroyuki Sawano's music throughout this and other anime projects as well.
