I got a LOT of requests for more JoJo. Jotaro's Theme reaction premieres this Saturday. Here is the link! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qa-jh8eB2L-teas.html

DRT: "Sorry, I'll go back 5 seconds and be quiet." Me: Stop apologizing! That's why we're here! We want those tasty breakdowns.

I feel like ending 3 is better when you combine it with the images, it makes it extra creepy to hear the weird sweet child-like vocals with the dark imagery.

"the world is cruel but i still love you" Ending 7 is just a masterpiece and that part of the lyrics made me cry when i heard it the first time.

I know a lot of people dislike ED 3 but I love it. It's so eerie, feels almost demonic

Honestly I usually hate reactors who stop and “analyse” songs since they normally just comment on the vocalists voice and provide minimal depth but honestly I love your breakdowns super entertaining whilst being informative

Artists: 1. Yoko Hikasa 2. Cinema Staff 3. Shinsei Kamattechan 4. Linked Horizon 5. Cinema Staff 6. Yuko Ando 7. Ai Higuchi

There's something so beautifully eerie about the third outro that just really brings me way back. Way back to when I knew nothing, most people knew nothing. It was all so shrouded in mystery, and the visuals left so many questions and now they are the answers. It's so crazy how this song legitimately kind of makes me nostalgic for the characters, the story, the AOT world but also for MY world, my old self, the one that at a tender age watched this and was so enthralled and still is with this series. I think this has to be my favorite outro. So strangely eerie, evil, and so beautiful.

Watch Opening 3 again after finishing the show. You'll be shitting yourself with how impressive it is.

Ending 3 isn't everybody's favourite but it's the one with the deepest message. It basically references a lot of future events in the show that's unknown to the viewers. You'll only get to appreciate Ending 3 when you're almost done with the show. It really shows how much the writer planned and foreshadowed events which is kinda the beauty of AOT.

Ending 3 is definitely very unique. As you said, you will start appreciating more once you see it in context. _However,_ very uniquely, said context does not come with the season it plays in, but near the end of the story

I was looking forward to your reaction for Ending 3 lol it's so creepy and haunting it fits so well, it's also made by Shinsei Kamattechan the same band of opening 4 "My War" and they're also the author's favorite band.

18:58 I always remember what they did there on the show 😂 they scared everyone and I can still hear it

OSTs like Reluctant Heroes , Zero Eclipse, Call your Name and Call of Silence are worth checking out as well .

Nice ending. Your stopping is never frivolous. You are really giving awareness to arrangement details that we might not pay enough attention to notice - or even recognize - without a professional explaining. And the fact you are responding to the enjoyment and not just being mechanically technical, makes it even more fun and helps us enjoy the pieces we know down another layer. That's why I'm subscribed to you after just a couple of vids. Lots more music to watch!

Ending 7 is a masterpiece. In arrangement, in visual representation, in lyrical meaning It hits really hard in the anime

the third ed is made by Shinsei Kamattechan, he also made the sixth op "My war" and he is Isayama (attack on titan author) favorite singer and musician. I also love his music cuz the distorsion in the voice make it sound really unique, and all the main vocals of both music are singed by him, even when it sound "girly" it's actually this guy, especially the second part of my war in the full version, he got really amazing vocal range.

The last ending needs to heard in full to appreciate from a musical perspective. The singing in the end dips and then goes back up and it is a thing of beauty!

Akatsuki no Requiem (ending 4) is easily one of my favorite endings, it's made by the same band of Opening 1,2,3,5 Linked Horizon i always remember a certain scene when i hear that opera singer part 🤐please avoid spoilers at all costs!

The openings in aot : EPICCC the endings : depressing and disturbing since season 1.The endings reveal the true nature of the story. The openings are trying to distract you.

Gotta respect a KZfaqr that swiftly listens to comments and provides what they want 🙏🏼

17:35 Tony : Children's choir, probably something happy... Translation of the lyrics at this moment : "The world is cruel..." Perfect timing 😄

Season 2 ending starts playing: "This is weird". Yes. We've all been there.

While ending 7 is a masterpiece in so many ways and a majority favorite, ending 6 is the one that will always stick with me and touches me in a really profound way. I feel like its painfully but beautifully wistful atmosphere truly captures the feeling of the unfortunate, inevitable future ahead. How so many nameless characters in this show who may not have had any true screentime are still caught in this fate without any choice. How their departure from the world will likely go by silently and unnoticed. Still, they were here, led meaningful lives, and should be remembered.

oh yes, he answered our call for AOT endings! 😇 Edit: oh damn, so many likes! Thanks 🙏

I swear though, Japanese musicians produces some of the most underappreciated songs of all time.

Ending 3 has always had me obsessed... there is such massive novelty in the whole thing. Plus it sounds like like some kind of demon summoning ritual. I just imagine a place in hell with this song and a background noise of thousands of people from all sides screaming from far away

Ending 3 may seem a little weird, but it is actually insane, like contestualized is creepy asf and has insane foreshadowing. N1 spot for me

Ending 3 is genius because it's such a giant spoiler but no one ever catches on until much later lol.

It is so fascinating that the first and last are your favorites when you know they are intricately entwined 😁

I've watched a lot of reaction videos to music and I love yours the most because you rewind, explain, and really get into it. I know you do a disclaimer for this, but I think it's honestly so much better this way.

Honestly though! Don't even make a big deal about the visuals spoiling you! It doesn't spoil anything as long as you don't have context about it or stare at each frame of the visuals too much. As a veteran Anime Watcher, the reason they create this openings/outro is unlike western shows, not just a refresher but to hype up the season/arc. People only say it's spoilers because they already watched further into the anime, without context it's not something to make fuss about. Not appreciating the visuals of the OP/ED is kinda sad, cuz it dances with the music

Highly recommend watching that last ed with lyrics whenever you catch up with season 4, it's probably the most emotional ed I've ever seen in any show lol. And interesting that the first and last were your favorites because they're both directly connected to each other in a way that you'll understand once you've seen the whole show! And really love learning about the music and that piano thing was super interesting lol I'm gonna be teasing my piano playing friends with that one 🤣

Ending 6 is such a underrated ending. It reminds me of the songs in GiTS and Zankyou no Terror.

Akuma No Ko, the last ending hits different with the story. Makes me tear every single time. The lyrics is just perfect

REMEMBER, these are just TV size. You can listen to the full ones in your spare time if you'd like, some have special little fun additions to them that make them worth a listen

Ending 5 is so underrated, it makes me emotional everytime i listen to it 😭😭

Band info: Ending 1: (Yoko Hikasa) Ending 2: (Cinema Staff) Ending 3: (Shinsei Kamattechan (they’re the same guys that did opening 6)) Ending 4: (Linked Horizon (they’re the same guys that did openings 1,2,3 and 5)) Ending 5: (Cinema Staff (same guys that did ending 2)) Ending 6: (Yuko Ando) Ending 7: (Higuchi Ai) Edit: dammit, someone already did the list ;0

Ending #3 is one of the best pieces of music to have graced any anime opening/ending ever.

Requiem der Morgenröte (the 4th one) is by far my favorite song in the entire show. Once you are that far in the show and listen to the lyrics is full of goosebumps

How much I’ve been waiting for this video!!! 🤩 Love the pausing & thoughts, thank you! 🙏🏼

ending 6 is one of my favorite anime endings ever. I think it just makes me feel more emotion than the other ones

Ending 4 The best one Linked horizon The foreshadowings The visuals Everything looks so good

The last ED is heartwtenching when you finish the story honestly 😭

ED 3 is very strange as a song, but probably the most important ED of the entire show. So I'm glad you didn't dismiss it. Would be very interested to know what you think of it once you caught up with the series.

Legit 38 minutes of crying, the nostalgia on that 3rd ending song of Attack on Titan. These openings and ending songs are like fine wine, the older it gets the better.

Seeing your catchy smiles when there's a cool musical progression is all I need. I really love what you're doing, hope you'll reach a much wider public because you deserve it :)

It's nice to see an anime opening/ending reactor that genuinely cares about the music. I feel like that's fairly rare right now, with a lot of reactors just blankly listening to it and moving on. Great reaction!

⏩ Video Question: Do you prefer the openings OR the endings??? For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony

I love how weird the 3rd ending is. It's when the deeper hints really start creeping to the surface. The unerving sound of it just really sets the tone for whats to come. Like, it's the sound of wanting to know secrets you wished you never knew in the end. The feeling of the music itself is kind of like black metal. On the surface it is harsh and unpleasant, but then theres an atmosphere within it which seems completely unique. I haven't heard alot of black metal admittedly, but this is the case for the band Burzum at least. Unpleasent sounds with an unforgettable mood. Thats what the 3rd ending feels like to me.

The 3rd ending is definitely my favourite. It's just so weird and unsettling, but you can't stop listening/watching.

The 4th ending is my all time favorite ending from an anime. The lyrics make it even better. Once you watch the anime up to that point it will enhance that ending even more. Great stuff here! Love the explanations and I even picked up on new sounds on some of these because I'm listening closer than usual.

It's so overwhelming. Everytime I see a reaction of the openings and/or endings from aot I can find so much foreshadowing. Everytime I find more little things. It's so impressive

That first ending was sooooo good man I remember after the first episode ended I was so shocked and sad after seeing the episode leave on Erens mother getting killed then hearing those first few seconds of the piano notes gave me chills

Yes letttsss gooo I was super excited for ending 3. Love how haunting it is when paired with the visuals. It sounds like a children's choir playing deep underground

Any time I hear ED 4, in my head it's like "Watch out! Is this the alt? Remember the first time you've seen it and got hyped." It caught us all off guard when the alt kicked in for just one episode ending. I event went as far as to try and lipread and translate what was happening. I was there when it aired. Even without knowing japanese, I got the gist of the situation translated and built some hype with it in my friend group

I love the way you predicted so many things and everyone of them is so right. Those words exactly fits into show right there. Likke amazing ..... you are amazing

Finally! The video I've been waiting for since your project emU reaction vid, just 35 more hours

Im really glad that i found your channel I'm not an expert in music but i know that ur analysis is great Anime osts are way too underrated outside anime community So knowing opinions from an expert really makes me happy I might be being selfish but can u do these osts , it would be great Osts from devilman crybaby especially "devilman no uta","buddy, ryo","wired","behind the scenes","smells blood","satan","crybaby" And osts from berserk "4 gatsu","my brother(definitive version","ash crow","aria" I'm sorry for being so selfish. Im not an expert but i know that these are genius Every berserk and devilman crybaby fan will love it Thanks for the content And I don't mind u pausing LOL

dude i love how deeply you inspect all of the instruments, it opens my mind and i didn't realize how many layers there are in these openings. i HIGHLY recommend you react to the hunter x hunter outros and the singular opening as they are incredible and are different from each other kinda similarly to jojos

The fourth AoT ending is up there as one of my top 3 favourites of all time

Ending 6 is absolutely beautiful but I don't see it get the recognition it deserves. :(((

mmh your analysis never dissapoint me, i'd love to see you react to more attack on titan content,ost or serie

I follow some KZfaq reacters and as far as anime music concerns, Tony is the best one. Really digs into the music! Great job Tony 🙂

What’s amazing about ending 6 is the complex harmony was built on only 4 repeated notes of the baseline. Truly exception writing here.

Man that precision in the making of music though! Even the lyrics are calling back on previous openings in past tense form. Example at 18:43 「心臓を捧げよ」[shinzou wo sasageyo] (give your heart) becomes 「心臓を捧げた」[shinzou wo sasageta] (gave your heart) with the exact same rythm as in op3 just for that line. Maniacs(but in a good way lol)

He should do another reaction to these after watching the show.

Absolutely LOVE ending 3 especially with the imagery. Brings so much inkling to a deeper lore of the story that you're unaware of at that point watching the show. I just remember feeling so excited to learn the importance of the imagery in that outro for later in the show and the music just elevates the feeling of "there's an intense history here you have no idea and you're about to find out".

Literally holding up my tears, I'm really affected with this anime, this is just heavy🥺

Im glad the Endings get appreciation they deserve! especially the last 2 are just soo good ^^

Man you are really smart, I have never seen someone who broke music like this. Must have done immense work with music in the past, that made you so responsive to the tiniest changes in chords. Simply amazing 👏

I love your reactions, i dont mind at all that you go back, it means you get to really appreciate details.

Another great analysis and music class 😂 It's great to know that you're watching the series! If you make it till the end of it and end up as emotionally invested as most of us are, even if your thing is more the musical construction and not the lyrics, my recommendation is that (again, after you finish watching) you to re-listen with lyrics included, because idk, maybe it's the soft spot talking, but I think the lyrics in all the songs from the soundtrack, not only openings and endings, are big part of how awesome this work is. Take care and thanks for this videos!

Shogeki by Yuko Ando (Final season part 1) just melts my heart everytime. It conveys an ethereal feel of helplessness, which fits the story so much at that point, and that's just perfect.

When you get to season 4 part 2, I recommend you listen to the ending "Akuma no ko" with the lyrics, they are so meaningful and convey so well things that aren't necessarily that clearly said regarding Eren's character and his motivations or mindset. It really hit different and makes me cry almost every time, this anime really has everything from great animation studios, genius composers, some of the best voice actors to amazing openings and endings that compliment the show very well. Hope you enjoy your watching experience !!

Oh man I can't stop rewatching this video It just reminds me why I like every ed song in this show So thank you for the great job 😁

Last ending was butiful🤤, like "Akuma no Ko"

Every ending is focused on something: ED 1 - Mikasa ED 2 - All characters and in its origins ED 3 - The truth about the origins of the titans ED 4 - Historia ED 5 - A tribute to those who died and could not see outside the walls ED 6 - Falco ED 7 - Eren and his desire to be free Copy & paste by Gabriel B Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

I am glad to find this channel as a music enthusiast and anime lover. Finding lots of technical terms to learn too! Keep up the glorious content :D

I love how you explain it for us non-musicians, like what has happened and why you like the music so much. We're learning from those explanations 👍❤️❤️

I'm so glad people like you are discovering this amazing show in 2022! We need more content like this!

Here my suggestions for further reactions (from Attack on Titan): 1.SymphonicSuite[AoT]Part1-3rd:BARRIchestra. It is a Track from the 3rd season. 2. TWO-lives from the 2nd season (it is not that popular but it has a lot of cool variety in it) 3. ELO from the final season part 2 If you want to try tracks from a different series from the Aot composers I would really like reactions to the 86 soundtrack, especially 1. SPEARHEAD 2. Voices of the Chord

ur breakdowns are fantastic

after I first heard the 6th one during the show, it was etched into my brain and I had to to find it to add to my collection, great stuff

The third ending is really supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. The imagery, that almost gives you medival vibes matches it perfect. You can't really understand whats going on in it even if you're watching the show. Man when I first saw it it really freaked me about. Don't listen to this when you're on drugs! You will get a heart attack!

Really like to hear your take on the music and how you break everything down! Would be awesome if you could react to Overlords intros they have a really unique style and cool use of effects on the voices. The intros are very highly regarded in the anime community.

The Last Two endings always make me cry these came put just before/just after the Manga and series ended. It hurts so much, hopefully when the day comes you finish the show next year you'll look back to the second to final ED

Man when it cuts ending 3 after episode finsihing episode 26 is one of the most creep and weird feelings ever felt

Would you consider doing reaction videos for AoT episodes themselves? I would love to hear your reactions not only to the story and characters, but also to the music that is paired with the important moments in the show and how that affects you emotionally as a viewer. Also your thoughts on how the music progresses through different seasons/arcs with the visuals would be fascinating as well.

Ending 4 is just epic

ED 1 and ED 7 are connected through the lyric ED 2 revealing the warriors ED 3 revealing rumbling and eldian history ED 4 revealing hisoria's history ED 5 revealing Eren's death and he doesn't want mikasa to forget him ED 6 revealing Falco's flying ability Not sure about ED6 and ED 2 though

Whenever I watch these videos I try to emulate the way you listen to music, and I honestly understand how you can stare at the screen and see none of the scenes playing out. Once you get in the "zone" all your brain power is focused on pulling out every aspect of the music.

How poetic that you chose the first and the last as your favourites. You are gonna be proud of yourself when you finish the show.

On ED3, specifically... Yeeaaahhhh, I'd say 'false/distorted happiness' is a really good way to explain the vibe they're going for. It's not going to make sense for a really long time, but it's pretty easy to pick up on this ending showing the backstory of the series. To get more into details and kind-of spoilers: This is the story of an ancient king who forced his children to eat the original Titan to inherit their powers to conquer the land and unite everyone. So it's very 'happy' because they're winning, but it's also a sort-of "We won, but at what cost?" type of thing and there's a lot of lasting harm that's done from the fallout of those events. Like this is literally why Titans are even a thing, they're people who were turned into monsters for this goal who MASSIVE SPOILERS eat people to try to find the one rare person with Titan-shifting powers so that they can be human again. So we see the king and his plans, we see the aftermath, and then everyone has to run away and establish the walls. All while, again, MASSIVE SPOILERS, the first king's consciousness remains, ruling the kingdom in the shadows and keeping everyone isolated with good-intentioned lies and deception that bring an era of peace while stifling the people's freedoms. It's VERY distorted/happy.

4 and 7 are definitely my favourites. And yes, AoT has some pretty good endings.

Thanks for pointing out the things i’ve never even noticed before! Ending 6 and 7 are definitely my favorite

Always loved the first ending song, there's a lot of attention to the details, and i really liked that call and response between vocal, strings, and brasses on the prechorus

Oh wow I didn't know people liked openings and endings that much. I may listen to some of them from time to time, but mainly it's the OSTs that do it for me. But hey, if you're gonna analise the endings, I'll be here anyway. After watching the video: Your breakdowns are sooo good 👍, keep up the great work! (Excited to see what it'll be next 😁)

i actually like when you pause it and inform us what's actually happening in the music. great video and great anime id say

Ending 7 is my favorite, lyrically, musically and vocally and I got emotional everytime I listen to it. Thanks for this video reaction and I hope if you can check these OSTs from AoT too: YouSeeBigGirl Vogel im kafig Bauklötze K21 Call your name The Reluctant Heroes Call of silence All of the freedoms EMA MAN-Child
