And more importantly, Isayama didn't just kill random characters for the sake of killing them and having tragedies on both sides...each and every death has MEANING even seasons later!!
Now THAT
is what I call perfect storytelling.
Agree. Marco's death, Sasha's, Marcel's, and most importantly, Eren's mom's death, all of them have their own impact on the story.
That's called normal storytelling. If you go around killing characters off randomly, then either it's due to it being part of the themes of the story, it's some kind of dark humor, or it wasn't well written.
Sasha’s death was pretty pointless. Marco dying was WAAAAY more important
@@Stanzbey69 lol
@@Stanzbey69 Of course NOT lol, it's very important for Gabi's Marley's liberation ideology and the exemplification of the cycle of hate within the anime. Sasha's father could have let Gabi die there and have his revenge sated, but he was strong and resisted, understanding the sad situation in Gabi's mind. Everything in this anime matters, because everything is organic because it's so well done and written and has its purpose, whether big or small. People need to stop seeing things superficially and stop to reason for a moment and notice the values and messages that are contained in audiovisual works in general.
i think one of the main reasons this show is so impressive to me is that it’s one of the few animes that doesn’t take place in japan, and not even this reality. It’s completely original but also isayama’s ability to make characters who aren’t even japanese, modern, or from this world, is incredible. especially because they’re so grounded and relatable despite this
The studio change didn’t really bother me cause I was so invested in the plot as I didn’t read the manga. I was like in awe every week
It was weird at first but it has absolutely grown on me and I honestly love it now
to be honest at first I hated how the titans looked ,but as you said the story got me gripped by the balls at this point I lok past the cgi and enjoyed th espectacle put on in front of me. But in the second half of the season they are making great work honsetly
@@joaquinmarichal Call me crazy but I honestly kinda like the way the cgi titans look somethings. Reiner and Warhammer come to mind. Nothing compared to handdrawn of course, but I kinda like the look honestly
AoT has pushed me to a point in which I cry at least once while watching any episode or even so much as THINKING about how beautifully crafted and masterful this wonderful story truly is
I feel the same
Im Prolly over obsessed
Same
I don't hate Floch. He represents the traumatized soldier and for the most part he's always right. He's a well written character.
@Alban Musa what a horrible take, he carried erwins dying body for up to a mile to safe him, floch was erwins successor, and he was entrusted to do the same that erwin did for him. That is floch
@Alban Musa the things you write clearly indicates, you don't understand Floch at all.
Except that he is not right for the most part.
No Floch represents blind loyalty 😂
@@thezerowulf2046 He said he did that because he wanted Erwin to suffer for the decision he made
A dead man can’t suffer
This point only proves that Floch is not a good person
I don’t even mind the CGI Titans, it’s the under-saturation, the dust filter & the thin lines that bother me
the realism of AOT is a big reason I enjoy watching it. these characters look like us so it is easier to feel a sense of relatability and feel the impact of their situation on a personal level. I've read and watched AOT with many refugees of war, poverty, invasions a few former soldiers etc. from multiple countries [where I live and work they are a majority] and they've always felt the most connected to this series and felt as if they've been in their place even with the exaggerated titans and the realistic reactions and actions from government and military, and personally as a half-asian like Mikasa I can relate to her being belittled and fetishised just like her and her mother were with the black market kidnappers.
I don't truly like Anime, but AoT is one of the very very very few examples of my stance on it. It is a story that is well written and also one that people who don't enjoy Anime can enjoy. It is something that I can keep coming back to watch because of the intricate character and world design. Many animes focus on fan service and a lot of other things that frankly don't add much to character development nor story. But AoT as stated in this video is focused heavily on the world-building, character development, and expansion and enhancement of the lore that creates a fantastic story. And in ways, I personally believe it definitely surpassed other stories.
Because it doesn't affected by a classical anime, it's 100% original.
For example : demon slayer is affected by bleach
So, it's clean from all that shonen shit..
Berserk and Evangelion are great
Berserk and Evangelion are great
There’s a reason why some Western tv series have kinky and dumb or childish shows, and some are amazing. It’s the same with anime. And there’s no real reason to hate anime as a whole, because it’s genuinely one of the most consistent communities and creators to exist. There’s so many different types of animes, some good some bad.
@@anamku00 Berserk is light years above AoT
The thing that puts it above other shows with great animation and story like FMA:B is that the show and its characters are consistently intelligent and serious. Never did I feel like the show did a random tone break with silly voices and frames just to try to force a giggle. Also the fact that the story is tightly written with very few distractions from the interesting main attractions.
Agree, I think the manga also ended beautifully, cant wait for the adaption to elevate the source material, improve pacing etc, if they take their time.
Yeah man! I bet those hating on the ending would wank off the anime when it drops. Some things cannot be conveyed and understood well through manga. That's due to the limitations of the medium. I hope Mappa and Isayama flesh out the ending and I bet most people hating on the ending will be onboard with it.
@@chubbyalonso3687 I wouldn't go that far. I have my issues with the ending as well, but am mostly at the acceptance stage. The journey was still worth it. A controversial ending, after all, is an essential ingredient to a classic.
@@abhiroopdas3232 I don't really see it as bad of an ending as people are making it out to be. Sure, it's not a perfect ending by any means, some things aren't explained well and I'd like to get some clarification, but a truly bad ending would be something that completely undo or change everything that has happened up to this point in the story. I don't think this ending does that.
I see many people unhappy about the Eren crying scene and I'm sure the anime will make many people change their mind about that scene if done properly. They could also add some scenes to fill in the gaps between the aftermath of the battle and the final pages.
@@chubbyalonso3687 Bro I am way too tired to have a discussion with ya rn, have been debating the fandom for months now. It all eventually boils down to subjective tastes. No work is loved by all, there is always criticism, there are always haters. In AOT's case there are more dislikers than likers currently, as you said it might change or it might not in the future. But as of now, my opinions are are set. If you liked the ending, good for you!
@@abhiroopdas3232 I understand that, I don't have a problem with people disliking the ending. What I have a problem with is the overreaction and people blindly hating on the ending because that's the popular opinion on the internet.
Wanna add another comment about the music used throughout the show. My favorite part was eren vs Annie the first one in the forest. When Annie bit his titans nape off, that dark violin music combined with Mikasa’s scream for eren made me die inside. I love this show and I had not ever watched anime before I watched this one. 10/10 love it and hope to see way more like this
Damn ngl Reiner is such a good character
i get why everyone is annoyed about the cgi titans but you can't blame mappa, blame the production committee that sets the insanely strict schedules for aot
Attack on Titan isn't my favorite anime. But it is the most well written anime that I've seen. I have massive respect for Isayama being able to pull of such a complex story in a smooth way.
Hated Floch when I finished the show, but it was only when I looked back at the story as a whole, I began to see how interesting Floch is as a character.
"and while touch smell and feelings cant be shared through TV, I guarantee that Mikasa's hair smells beautiful" lol
Attack on Titan is one of the only animes that has really good plot that you could watch even without the Titan shifters in it but the Titan Shifters just make it so much better.
Anime hipsters hate it but it is an objectively amazing show. The animation, music, characters and story are absolutely top tier. People need to get off their damn horse and out of their mothers basement. Xx
I dont think anime hipsters hate the show. Its mostly contrarians who dislike popular anime, or super elites who dont find anything but Berserk to be a peace of art lol.
Sure, the number of dislikers have increased for AOT after the ending but there is virtually noone on earth who disliked S3 Part 2 atleast.
@@abhiroopdas3232 no one hates marley, clash of titans and war for paradis arc too
people have problem with last few chs in rumbling arc
and yeah i agree some people overrate berserk a bit too much
more like out of their father's basement, haha grisha joke HAHAHA
There we go
it’s always one piece fans they tell me every time aot isn’t good you just like it bc you’re new to anime
Moblit died doing what he loved. Screaming, "Hange San!"
This video made me appreciate AOT exponentially more than I already have. Great video, and those details that you mentioned truly made this Anime 10x better in my opinion!
I know a lot of us dislike the use of cg in season 4 but compare the cg of aot to other shows. We're still eating pretty good even if the food looks a little jank.
I love how they played with the music on certain scenes:
1. Season 2 Episode 6 reveal, where we first hear Apple Seed interwoven with Vogel Im Kafig to produce YouSeeBigGirl as they transform on the wall.
2. Bertholdt's blooming scene as he descends upon Shiganshina with the full Apple Seed music in the background.
3. Counter-Attack Mankind playing during Mikasa's realization with her remaining small blade in Season 1
4. ThanksAT played at the end of Midnight Sun
5. Ashes on Fire during the Seige of Fort Slava and Attack on Liberio
6. The transition from the intense music of Ilse encountering a Titan to the mysterious choir sound to the build up music leading down to her death.
7. The denouement of Season 2 Episode 12 where the Scouts retreat, Ymir says good bye to Historia and Eren, Mikasa and Armin remembers Hannes...
8. So Ist Es Immer theme of Levi...
Glad to see you're still alive and uploading! Love your channel man, been a sub for a while, keep pushing!
appreciate ur longtime support :-)
Aot steal our heart and mind both easily.....
Anime video. Really enjoyed this new direction of content. Keep up the good work my man
Let's see how this ages when the ending comes
For me the ending is OK but not perfect.but we'll see if they decided to do anime original endings or just adapted the manga ending
@@d.m.g8375 I'm an ending hater who doesn't care about any anime only ending. If they're going to defend this ending, I'd rather they adapt the ending 1:1.
Show the anime community why it butchered Eren's character
@@SerenityOceania But that’s perspective. I feel the further you get past the time-skip, the better Eren’s character gets. Hell, when the manga and anime first began, Eren was the LEAST liked shonen protagonists. I remember being so angry with his irrational decision making because he was so emotional. I just knew he would be responsible for his friends dying. But just because I loathed him, I was still interested in him. Post time-skip, he shows growth, has a plan & is determined to see it through. I found I could get behind him, even if I disagreed with his final solution, I understood why he felt the way he did. On rewatches/rereads, I see how the environment & narrative drags him, no matter how good he wanted to be. It makes his obsession w/ freedom so much more palpable & painful. The freedom fighter being the biggest slave is such a fresh protagonist take, I can’t help but slow clap the writing.
the problem with this anime is it's season release times. Ye some forgot about it temporarily, but eventually came back to it, while others probably permanently dropped it. BTW Floch isn't a bad character he is a very good and necessary character for the role he was written for. Floch is a piece of shit, but a damn good leader.
Okay but the edit with fight club psychosis at the beginning goes so hard.
such a good analysis! you put my thoughts into words
I literally just started watching attack on titan and now crabdash uploads a video abt it wow
ok
Try avoid spoilers at all costs because many in the AOT fandom take pleasure in destroying the show for newbies.
you need some more subs man good shit
Man, good job articulating AOT you fucken legend!
OK but the edit at the beginning was really good!!!!
37 x 20 = 740 minutes
740/60 = 12.33333
This man watched 12 hours of anime in one sitting
loved ur vid brozzer!
I'm almost a year late to this video but great video it tackled everything I love about AOT accept I love Floch he is my favorite character
But overall great video 👏👏
Fantastic video!
Smh this videi got to my recommendations 2 years later lmao.
Just wanted to say, that I totally agree with you on every point.
Great montage and grear video
Best show of all time. I'm calling it here
I’m so dumb🤣 every time he pauses it I was like “why do two zeros show up every time he pauses” it took me like 5 times to figure it out 🤣🤣🤣
Here in 2024. For quite a few years now i have been a big anime fan, I have watched different styles and story types of anime almost everything the genre has to offer. However I wasnt always the biggest fan, a long time ago i dismissed anime and thought it was a joke. One day i decided to try one anime to prove to myself it wasnt worth the hype. Of course I chose AOT as my first anime and the rest is history, i love this story and everything it holds and i will never regret watching that first episode for the first time
7:30 probably not the best idea to show Armin when talking about characters dying and never coming back
but he never died just on the brink of death
That intro was so cold
7:32 "if someone dies they are fucking dead"
Oh hello there Armin 😁👊
Great vid, commenting for the algorithm.
The puzzle analogy is SPOT on
What's the background music for 9:20
You can hate Floch but saying he doesn’t have character is stupid, not saying you did, but it’s true.
He is blunt and realistic and his growth from just being a one of Erwin’s sacrifice to being one of Eren’s closest ally is great.
eren is literally using him and doesn’t care about him. floch is a pathetic extremist / dictator scarred from war.
But he is right. You dont have to love floch. But he has still substance as a character. Even he had a character developement
He is a shitty character really
Coward?!
In that charge he knew he is about to die
He was same throughout the series
Annoying lapdog
@@dhruvbharija172 He had more development than Mikasa my man
@@biglion4631 in your dreams my man
¡Great video! Made me start rewatching AOT after 8 years of not watching the first season, I recently finished the 4 season and damn, I remembered why I loved that anime back then, a MASTER PIECE! And you did an amazing job explaining why AOT is so amazing, thanks! as a storyteller, I find this so useful.
New sub!
that edit at the beginning was the sickest most hottest most dirtiest nastiest rizziest most delicious thing my eyes have ever been blessed with
I like floch but i despite zeke so much i get his backstory and all but he had wayyy to much fun killing Erwin for me to like him
One scene in the first season that reveals a major plot twist in the first season is when eren bangs his head and while he is sitting down , steam starts to come out of his head
The intro was crazy
we all hate floch, but Isayama wrote him with that exact purpose, so, it's not a badly designed character.
True
I love this show. I really enjoyed it. A lot.
Alot without l = goat.
It terms of the art, ive heard the end fight of season 2 compared to literal hell, i think thats a valid term looking like something right out of dantes inferno
fave video!! go crab dash!!
What
I watched the manga ending a year ago so I forgot which part of the last chapter I hated about. I couldnt remember any
As much as people hate Floch, albeit some is sarcasm. I think for his character his prejudice is justified, he was there for Erwin’s suicide charge against the enemy that his comrades are now showing mercy for. His entire world, friends, comrades were all taken away in a day from the Marlyeans. His brutal actions were questionable at best but I believe his reasons for feeling the way he does are shown very well throughout the story before becoming the guy people hate
Enemy is a converted Muslim that prays 5 times a day lmaooooooooo
I just noticed Mikasa is the only one not reacting when Historia punches Levi 😂😂
Can someone explain to me why the manga ending disappoints so many people? Is it just because it’s not a conventionally “happy” ending? There must be something I’m missing because from what I can tell it’s beautiful and perfect.
Won't spoil anything but it's one of the worst ending in fiction i've ever read. It's not "bad" because its not "happy ending", in fact it's quite on a happier side, But it ruined a lot of the good parts of the story and rendering them meaningless, which is not what you wanna do when you're about to end your story. It's also leave a shitton more of plotholes left unexplained. I honestly refuse to believe this is the ending isayama intended, but rather some nasty corporate assholes forced a fucking ai to write the ending
@@JCDentonman Spoil away, I have to know. Is there something in specific you wish they would’ve resolved? What good parts of the story did it render meaningless? I’m not disagreeing with you-I haven’t read the ending myself, I’m only familiar with the sequence of events.
@@rickyv8709 the ending goes with eren and armin talking about his motives for the rumbling. Eren explained that he is actually being controlled by ymir fritz so she can free herself from loving king fritz (you heard that shit right "ymir is in LOVE with king fritz wtf). Ymir is waiting for someone to free her from her love and that person is mikasa. This is such a fucking disgrace to eren's character from the previous chapters and it ruined everything from the marley arc up to this point. Turns out that eren's motivation isn't for the island's sake, but rather some sick romcom plot bullshit, and even if we do try to keep an open mind for this romance bs, it still makes zero fucking sense. Why would it has to be mikasa that "frees" Ymir? Oh ofc, cuz mikasa is eren's meatrider the same way ymir to king fritz shitty stockholm syndrome did. Get it? Parallels? GENIUS WRITING 101 BOIS. Smh the most irrelevant mary sue gets to be "the chosen one" Amazing writing.
There is some kind of a leluoch part, basically eren did all of this genocide maniac shit to make his friends defeat him so the world would see them as "good" And they can live their lifes peacefully until they died. KEYWORDS UNTIL THEY DIED, ill explain later. However this obviously contradicts the part where eren said he was controlled by ymir and his mind is so messed up that he did the rumbling. And this shit also make zero fucking sense too anyway. Eren did the rumbling and destroyed 80% of humanity (yes he specifically said 80%). Congratulations eren, you just made the remaining 20% hated eldians even more, which is exactly what happened btw ill explained later. Also wouldn't zeke's plan would be miles better? lmaao idk man this whole shit is a fucking mess. It literally sounds like an ai wrote this.
Now to the most insulting part, there is an additional chapter (139.5). Where it is shown that in the future, paradis is actually still being annihilated by the remaining outside world with their stealth bombers, and then a kid runs to a tree where ymir falls and get the titan power. LIKE HOLY SHIT THAT IS SO BAD. So everything from the 1st season, every single survey corps that died horribly, all for a sequel bait? Nice 👏👏👏. (i forgot to mention eren eradicate the titan power too, never explained how, never explained why considering it's the only paradis means of defense lmao. He also died in the end btw).
There are some other jarring things that i wouldn't really call it just "small plotholes", but cosidering the absolute dumpster fire the whole picture is, i won't mention it. I personally refuse to believe this is what isayama's envisioned but rather being forced by those evil piece of shit publishers to make a sequel bait. The part where eren turns out to be controlled by ymir sounds like a cry for help or sumthing. Tbh this video will age like milk once s4 part 3 came out.
@@rickyv8709 i did reply to you btw
@@JCDentonmanIn the final ending at least; Eren wasn’t controlled but chose to do the rumbling. Also I think Ymir ‘loving’ Fritz was an amazing point because it shows how long lasting and traumatizing gr00ming/stolkhome syndrome is for victims.
Eren intended to wipe out all of humanity; not just 80%. He was cut short; his goal was to stop Eldian hatred by getting rid of everyone else.
Also it wasn’t ’sequel’ bait, isayama has no intention to continue. The ending was beautiful because it goes to show that no matter what they do or what they could have done, the cycle of hate will always continue.
I will come back to this video after s4pt2. Guess what wont age well
ok then
It aged perfectly🤣🤣🤣👎👎👎
Aged like fine 🍷
Bro floch is pretty normal.he went from a coward with no reason to live to the devil's advocate!
I mean I wouldn’t say NORMAL but he’s had a very interesting character arc
He was always a devil
Hey, im at the 21st episode and i just want to ask if there are a lot of spoilers or not in the video?
it's not mainly meant to spoil but the clips used are from all seasons
@@crabdash7288 thank you, ill watch it then
This video explained why I love aot
POV: you’re wondering wtf happened to crabdash
holy shit i never saw bertoltd about to bite his hand on the tower
The reason I think the character writing is so poignant is that people have realistic traits and are not punished for their choices by some higher moral authority (I.e. the author). There are heros who are fundamentally cowardly or people who are willing to sacrifice or outright slaughter others for their beliefs and are still portrayed as heroic. I really enjoy the realism of the moral ambiguity. It’s not like most typical stories where ‘I can never choose my ideals over my friends’ or ‘getting stronger will somehow solve every problem’
Underrated video
Hey crabdash do you have an opinion on mikasa Ackerman?? Do you like this character, hate it or meh? What’s you personal taste??
mikasa is my mommy
@@crabdash7288 It’s kinda hard to judge her as a character right? She’s so obsessed with Eren she seems to have nothing but her badassery going for her. I’m tempted to call her character simple. At the same time I really like her at times and find myself rooting for her to have a happy ending. Which must mean I’m invested in her. Like I said she’s hard for me to judge.
@@account4345 watch

You will understand her character
you didnt have to do marco like that😭😭
10:54 YESS THANK YOU SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT
14:10 thank you MAPPA 🙏
not even Isayama has that opinion... what a video jesus :D
Greatest piece of fiction, hoping for aoe tho
Perfect up until chapter 139...
10:49 floch? ain't no way🗿, he's well written duh!
Season 1 and 2 in a single sitting???? I respect it
Ending aside, accurate.
Aot #1 in fiction, Spread the word. Make them heard
Don’t worry, the time skip makes Mikasa 19.
Floch a bad character?? Bruh he’s one of the best characters in the entire show (that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s likeable btw).
he is very likeable though
never seen an anime character make such sound decisions
Floch is erwins successor.
@@thezerowulf2046 you are tripping hard. Armin is Erwins successor. Floch wishes he was though.
@@lollybirdyno one can succeed Erwin as stated by Levi , Erwin was in a league of his own ❤
ATTACK ON TITAN best seires on the UNIVERS
Greatest anime i have ever watched and one of the best shows hands down
Damn dude you are so me 😂
You mentioned that "when characters die they're dead". Well Eren did come back after being eaten in season 1, Armin was also given a second chance and Reiner's titanic plot armor must count for something. But I get what you mean #neverforgetpetra
I wrote the same comment....
It was 7:32
*GASP* MY FELLOW BROZZER?!
I’ve never watched an anime. Any recommendations?
depends what you like, but it's always good to start with the bigger ones like naruto, dragon ball z, etc. but newer and shorter anime's may be more appealing for newer viewers cuz better animation + not needing to watch over 1000 episodes lol
Re;zero is good
@@crabdash7288 Fun fact: new viewers can't tel animation differences. I've had friends tell me that they can't notice cgi lol
well I guess I would recommend attack on titan lol if the video didnt convince you enough already
If you are a beginner it is best to start with death note, parasyte
16:20 "Naruto, one peace and dragon Ball all being Animated around the late 1900's"
Bit of a poggers show innit

You were spot on until Floch. Floch is a misunderstood character that’s gets over hated.
