Hi everyone, great comments so far. People have made good points regarding SAO and while i agree that launching the isekai craze is a big deal, there wouldn't be as many people watching it without attack on titan's influence in 2014. i know i went from AOT to Sword art myself on netflix back in the day. also, yes, we cant forget JoJo, however, again, its important to remember the difference between internet popularity and real popularity. jojo is huge within the community, but if i asked my girlfriends dad what jojo is he'd have no idea, but he KNOWS AOT. thats the difference. either way we very much appreciate the watch and any shares you want to give this video. you guys are a great community and we appreciate you wholeheartedly! have a great week and we'll be back next saturday!
oh! happy 1 million views peeps, very cool!
Bonsai Pop Okay but seriously man. Lol
Bonsai Pop I love the vid you make but if you do a mha vid I should be how it’s relatable and accurate to live wen it come to risks and the greater good even tho it’s a super show
People really comparing SAO to AoT? Lmao
I thought it was boring and pointless like Samurai Champloo. Anything that Cartoon Network airs is usually not worth watching. Modern anime is so watered down and boring that people actually think Tokyo Ghoul is violent. Lol
@@bestwarrior8422 probably in terms of popularity, although, AoT is more widely recognized than SAO.
Best line: "Reading backwards is scary. Some people have problems reading forward."
Im in this comment and I don’t like it
thumbs up for Mike editing this alone in 1 day
Ooh treesicle also here nice! :D
How does he still have hands? Also Hi!
Attack on Titan in 2014 was the anime that introduced me to the community. As a preteen I watched Naruto but never went far as to watch other shows. It also introduced me to manga because before AoT I didn’t know what manga was.
2013*
The reason why AoT is so important is also because it shows anime is an art form that can be taken seriously, very few anime manage this let alone are popular for years
People can say whatever they want about AoT, but I do believe it's amazing. It only gets better with every arc, and the current arc in the manga is mind-blowing.
Did you read the latest chapter?? OMD fam this is too intense!!!!
@@sage7774 hell yea I did! We sure seem to be in the endgame now... 😜
@@sage7774 eren is so badass in 117
@@ThanQAnonYT I totally agree with you... the first season grabbed because it was something unique and epic. On the grand scale of things though, it adds almost nothing to the overall narrative, and in hindsight, the pacing is very poor at certain parts (eg Female Titan arc) and character development was minimal. Overall, it's my least favorite season. Season 2 got me MUCH more interested in the show, and it immediately converted me to a manga reader
@@aggelossourelis1040 BROOO it's actual crazy man. I'm so hyped for the anime as well I don't think I'm capable of waiting every Monday!
I think what Attack on Titan does REALLY well in the recent manga arc is representing not just the realities of protracted conflicts but also WHY these conflicts STAY protracted and are so difficult to resolve. I haven't read a series that represents so many layers to human conflicts so well.
Let's not talk about the CGI garbage Colossus titan
@@supercool_saiyan5670 what does this have to do with the manga?
Me either. And that's saying something.
SuperCool_Saiyan I mean, the reason they use CGI is cause of low budget. And they still manage to give us a pretty high quality. Don’t complain bruh
Also I find AOT fantastic because it pressures something important: nobody is special. And if you want something to change, you have to take action yourself. But it can also fail horribly. And the series got sooo many philosophycal layers. I love it.
AoT does have the potential to be the best anime when it finishes. The writing is brilliant all around.
Very true, ppl dont give it the credit it deserves for how smart it actually is. Especially with what is being done with Eren
"Especially with what is being done with Eren" i didnt read the manga and rn so hyped for s3 p2 of aot. can you elaborate a little bit on this point without any spoiler?i expect him not being the same cliched "i wanna protect my loved ones" type of shounen mc
Joe Martin let’s just say his goals change dramatically once he finds out the truth at the end of season 3 pt2. Always remember the thing he says, he wants to annihilate all the titans. He has vengeance and someone is going to get it
@@joemartin7451 he becomes much more mature and understanding of other perspectives, he believes ends justify the means and is ready to commit horrific acts for the sake of what he sees as the greater good. What the great good means to him isnt clear yet since he is very unpredictable and complex character but he still is a monster that always keeps pushing forward for the sake of freedom. He developed from a naive, impuslive child that was driven by hatred and ideals to a very mature and dark/twisted character who understands others but does everything it needs to be done. He still wants to protect his loved ones of course but he goes about it differently.
He basiclly becomes a perversion of the tradional shounen character, i know this has become an overused term online but aot becomes a deconstruction of the shounen genre. By taking the tradional tropes and driving them to their logical extreme
Hajime Isayama got rejected so many times. He deserves everything he has now. Love you 3000
@Laura Zucker In my opinion given the current state of the manga's story, nationalism is not seen as a positive, at least from the POV of most of our main cast
@Laura Zucker Learn to be moderate. It's important. Unless that was just a shitpost. Ignore me then.
@Laura Zucker I absolutely was like you too. Fifteen years ago. Now i just let people have different opinions.After all: humans are fundamentally tribal. Almost to the point that it's beyond choice. unless someone actively calls for genocide i don't bother picking fights anymore. And that post of yours came off 100% as a russian provocation intended to cause another shitstorm.
@Laura Zucker There have been political provocateurs on forums about freaking KNITTING.That's how this all works. Damn right i doubt the intentions of any commenter i see. Look: I know nationalism is cancer and it will inevitably get us all killed. But i also know that the majority of the human race consists of those nationalists but only a very small fraction of those actually want war. And AoT is VERY much anti war. However, it doesn't have a clear good or bad guy. The main character we are nominally supposed to root for is an agry german in a brown uniform who wants to KILL ALL THE INHUMAN MOSTERS!! I like how morally uncomfortable that always was from the start. Just keep following the story. I promise it only gets wilder.
My 50 year old parents are big fans of AoT and they hated anime.
Oh god i wish
back in the days to now atleast for me.
Pre-teen (ish) - Dragon Ball series
Teen - Naruto / Bleach
20s - HxH / OPM / AoT(mostly)
Im a teen and I Love aot
Your taste in your 20s >>>>>>>>>>
Thanks for watching guys i worked real hard on this one
Season 3 brought everything together so nicely, I feel so bad for people who stopped watching after the first or even second season-I feel season four will just be even better!
Simone Christians fr ppl be sleeping on s3 cuz they found s1 boring and they didn’t like the beginning of season 2. They missing out on alot
Soooo excited for season 4, Season3 was BOMB!
Idk if you are reading the manga, but damn is it going to be great. You don't even know the hype for the new season I'm feeling after catching up on the manga.
AOT gets really interesting after the basement reveal. Since the Titan apocalypse 100 years ago NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED, and humanity outside the walls is THRIVING, it drops the post-apocalyptic theme and switches to a war story.
It was a war story from episode 1. It handled many aspects of soldiers and oppressed people even back in season 1. The theme of war has always been present.
Mike- I was homeless back then.
Me- "hits subscribe"
Attack on Titan is one of the greatest anime/manga in the modern age and it hasn't even ended yet.
If you really think about it, not a lot of anime gets full adaptation from its original source material (examples: manga and light novels)
It's a phenomenal manga, too. Anime-only fans will be mindblown by the basement reveal.
Bro, I 100% agree with your points.
After watching attack on Titan season 3 part 2, I am convinced it’s one of the greatest shows of all time, not just anime.
Absolutely phenomenal direction, acting, sound design, music, character development, world building, plot twists, etc etc
I’m just happy that they are wrapping it up next season and aren’t letting it go on and on and on *cough cough* Naruto *cough* Bleach *cough cough*
Here’s to hoping season 4 absolutely crushes it 💪
Thank you so much for making this wonderfully-presented video. I've been an on-and-off anime fan for the duration of my life. DBZ was my first, then Rurouni Kenshin, then Yu Yu Hakasho, etc. etc. But somewhere along the line (I believe during the Naruto Filler era), I fell out of love and didn't keep up with it for quite a while. When my best friend showed me Attack on Titan in 2014, I felt an unmistakable thrill similar to what you described in the video. The first episode alone had everything I desired in a story. Horror, suspense, beautiful art and 2D animation, a tale of survival. I was hooked. My love for anime was reignited then and there, and has been going strong ever since. Some people say it's silly to call Attack on Titan one of the greatest of all times, but I unapologetically stand by that sentiment. Its importance is undeniable, and it's done a lot to bridge so many different cultures together through its compelling visuals and storytelling. I hope your apt analysis reaches many others.
Keep up the good work :)
Astroboy was my first Anime and I have never lost the joy of it for many years now, 43 years young :)
hell yeah man, true love dont die
It's definitely among the best anime and manga along with Berserk, HxH, FMAB and Monster. What makes you say it isn't?
This is your list Man and yes aot is top 3 manga of All time
@@saito7619 Yeah, i'm just emphasizing that AoT is one of the best written shows within anime/manga. Using examples of what i consider "well written".
JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, especially Part 5 and 7
@@roojackaroo8517 Those are the best parts of Jojo, 100%
Roo Jackaroo I heard part 7 is the best part, and I can’t wait but it’s killing me cuz I know it’s gonna be at least 4 years when we get it
I would have never drawn the connection between The Walking Dead and AOT, until you mentioned it. Now I have a whole new way to look at the "mindless" people eating giants...and that's kinda scary. Bad ass job on the video mates, especially for doing a whole edit in a single day. GD. #patron
I'm really enjoying this new channel. After that rant you have made a new patron! Keep up the great work boys!
My dad absolutely hates animated stuff, be it anime or cartoons or 3D animation. He's the kind of guy who likes watching live action movies and drama, with real humans and stuff. And now he's a fan of Attack on Titan. He's past S01E12 and he's already hooked. Also, many other distant family members are now a fan of the show. The AoT fan community is growing bois! Hats off to Isayama, Tetsuro and Masashi the directors and Hiroyuki Sawano for the amazing music.
You're going to be big as a CZcamsr. Bit more exposure and it will snowball, your videos are really good and interesting.
The attack on titan manga is the best piece of art released since 2000. If someone here has read the manga till 117 and fully analyzed every aspect of it, (I'm talking about philosophy,psychology e.g the "shadow" from jung, it's importance in our world and so on) and still thinks there is something better, pls tell me.
Berserk, HxH, FMAB, Vinland Saga, Holyland, Suicide Island, Blade of The Immortal, Gantz, Monster, 20'th Century Boys, Jojo Steel Ball Run, Fate Zero. AoT is my third favorite among these though! But it's hard to say which one of these is "the absolute best".
Me personally, I think it’s the best anime of all time
This was my first subbed anime, so it definitely had that impact for me
Same. I just couldn't take the dub voices as seriously, and it allows us to watch the newest episodes without waiting for the US to catch up
AOT didn't just got me back into manga, it also inspired me to start collecting manga as well. It impact is unreal.
I tried getting my friend into AOT but he didn't like it, and for anyone else who doesn't like it, oh boy you are missing out
Thank you for making such amazing videos, and you are hard to argue with, you are too right !!! Love your videos 😊😊❤️❤️
thank you for watching!
what treesicle said!
I just got into it, binged it all. I cannot wait to see what comes next.
As an author myself I have faith that books will one day make a strange comeback...like record players...yeah
You gave your intro and outro EXACTLY the same way every alt kid in my school gave Any presentation
Shoutout to treecicle to putting me on to a great vid 👌🏽 gonna look out for more bonsai vids 😁
Love this channel and would love to see it grow! On that note try and collaborate or try and contact bigger anime channels, get some of that cross pollination happening ya know?
As an updated manga reader, watching the new episode premiere this week was a reminder why I jumped on the manga train years ago - I JUST COULDNT LIVE WITH THE SUSPENSE KILLING ME, considering that post-2013, who knew that it would be 4 years later that season 2 would show up. The anime is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than the manga.
Yeah , but the manga is better but not make you so hype
I may check Attack on Titan.. what pushes me far is the extreme violence.. I like some (Tarantino movies, for an example..) but seems that this one goes a little over. Guys.. you're doing an awesome channel.. keep it up!
I'm 25 years old, been watching anime for a very long time and yes you're 100% correct, AoT has brought the geeky anime fanboy out of me again, it went quiet after the Dragonball universe died out after the 2010s, early 2000s and 90s, when i saw AoT when i was 21 years old man it blew me away, the story, the emotions eren has and the way Mikasa is so humble in how the way she fights most times, Armin the lil Albert Einstein, then seeing the savagery Levi they are all awesome and learning about Erens' half Brother Zeke and his ilk was just (ebervirvbibwbcibfiewfiwbiw) 🤪, overall AOt is a 9.6/10 for me, it has brought anime back into the golden light again.
dude mike you're a legend i love you man! you're so coherent and real. REFRESHING
@Bonsaipop will you guys do older anime like the five-star stories or gothic made?
"Most people can't even read forwards". He wrecked 2 generations with a single sentence
I remember when i was going into freshmen year i knew what anime was but i never cared for it. I only knew what the main ones were but i never really found got into it until a friend introduced me to attack on titan which was the first anime i watched completely and the first manga i ever read and really introduced me to the amazing community:)
Mike threw so much shade that he caused a solar eclipse. This then made it even harder to read.
Is that dragonslayer armor's theme at the beginning? Niice
Damn, your narration skills are prime.
best anime ever. dont lie like that fam
AoT may not be the best anime ever, but by the end of season 3 I'm comfortable putting it in my top 10. Heck I might even "read" the manga its that good.
9:28 Pleasure Reading and a picture of Zone-Tan, I see what you did there editor
Not just the west
Here in the Middle East too
I had to rean ahead on Naruto, Attack on Titan, and The Promised Neverland.
Cool skylander you have there!
Kinda off topic but your tattoos are hella rad!
thanks man!
That's awesome! I'm literally wearing an AOT t-shirt right now lol.
Your choice in background music is strangely satisfying
From San Ran to Breath of the Wild it’s clear your geek bleeds through every video as if it wasn’t apparent enough
I've been watching anime since the late 1990s and I dont remember any anime having such an impact on general society as AoT did. Its not the best anime ever, probably not the best even in that season but it is the anime that grew the community in the west and for that it deserves respect.
I love the "Damn" in the beginning
Nice video
I'm 13 and always loved reading. 2.5 years ago a classmate brought the manga to school and let everyone read it (me and my friends were the only people interested). Anyone who read it loved it and so it started. somebody would get the next volume and so on. Unfortunatley this was the last year of basisschool (4 years to 12 years, school system in the netherlands). I never continued reading the manga. Until i discovered this year that one of my friends loved attack on titan and i decided to watch the anime and this got me into other anime aswell. i dont know why i am telling this story but here is my story of how i got into anime.
edit: i look exactly like armin and now thats how my old friends call me
Wow, this was a real eye opener!
attack on titan will be remembered in the history of anime because after season 3 it is a whole new show , it has one of the diverse story in anime
This decade's Robotech. This decade's Speed Racer.
A true modern classic from the 2010s
lmao this definitely put me on manga reading. But not sure if ima read other mangas but i just couldnt wait for the anime it was taking too long.
i started the manga because i couldn't wait for season 4 but now that I'm up to date i need to say that other manga like kimetsu no yaiba don't catch me at all :/
Didn't skip a second of the video.. Keep up the good work bro :)
Garay The video was posted 13 minutes so that’s a lie.
@@TewPaqs I haven't finished watching the video so I paused and wrote the comment and continued watching bro
Yeah I knew you would have finished it but never mind, have a good day.
@@TewPaqs thank you bro.. Have a good day too and love your positive vibes :)
Not gonna say that, but I will say this :
It is definitely better than Sword Art Online...
Triggered?
The girl that poped up at 9:28
I feel like I saw her somewhere before...
That DJ beep sound effect remind me of RayWilliamJohnson channel
HAHEHSHAHAHAH IM DEFINITELY THE NARUTO GUY, BUT I AGREE WITH YOU ATSMT
Great video, I became a sub watcher because of Attack on titan.
'Netflix has 137 million subscribers, Amazon has 100 million and Hulu only has 20' Literally just 20, LOL.
TF"? It says 25m lol it rose by 50 percent last year....
btw...i watched attack on titan up to season 2, and the stoped because I just didnt felt like watching more, but today...i got completely spoiled of what happens in the manga...should I still watch it?
TomToTheWall yes
AoT is a masterpiece.
You have a ness tattoo...? THATS FUCKING AMAZING
Hi mike
9:28 I saw that movie, and it was very good. As an Orthodox Christian, I enjoyed it.
Watching a sub anime is like sight seeing on a trail while reading a book about the trail... Makes no fucking sense
Good video.
The subtitles part is funny to me. I grew up with that. Cartoon Network was only available with subtitles. Maybe that’s why I have álways chosen subs over dubs.
I got into anime from dragon ball Z, and I'm not afraid to say it, I also watch hentai
Sean I commend you for your bravery
For da plot😤👊🙌
Mike you kick ass. Keep doing what your doing. Fuck the haters.
The first anime i watch was either detective conan yu yu hakusho or dragon ball i cant remember
I think I heard the Tombtorial Soundtrack from Necrodancer in the background???
Also Pokémon was deffffff my first anime, Card captor and Sailor moon were close seconds
I agree with you
love the music at the start.....UwU
gj man realy!!
Have you seen Jojo’s? I’m pretty sure a funny steam roller is more important than big men
The Attack on titan manga is about to go down as one of the best manga ever with how the story has progressed from the beginning to its coming end. It would be an understatement to say the Hajime Isayama has crafted a beautiful would that has a history and story that couldn't be any closer to masterful. After Attack on titan ends it'll be one of the best mangas, if not one of the best stories in fiction to be created. ᴬᵗᵗᵃᶜᵏ ᵒⁿ ᵗⁱᵗᵃⁿ ⁱˢⁿ'ᵗ ᵃ ʳᵘⁿ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᵐⁱˡˡ ᶻᵒᵐᵇⁱᵉ ˢʰᵒʷ.
I remember when Attack on Titan first came out. It was huge, it was indeed a fad.
THis one chick kept trying to convince me that no it was the opposite and everyone hated the series.
yup this anime got me into manga
It was the third I watched after Naruto and Death Note and God damn did it blow my mind and set my expectation higher that it should be.
In my opinion attack on titan is amazing because it let's you have infinite questions about everything happening and after some time you get answers but also more questions. It also doesn't show you only one side of "antagonists" but also their point of view with their emotions so you really can't blame anyone for their actions :)
I remember watching it around when it came out, too. I was 13 at the time and hoo boy was I edgy. It was definitely perfect for me then.
Not sure how far back ya'll look at comments but I will patiently wait for the full spoiler video going over the ending and it's impact especially with the backdrop of Covid
hi Bonsai pop the first time I seen Attack on Titan it aired on Toonami it was so interesting to watch and I enjoy it still to this day it's one of those enemies that not just the opening song grabs your attention but the whole anime even though it's grim and dark there's a message behind it just like the story about the Native Americans up in the Northern Lakes region in America about skin-walker it's about cannibalism a taboo known to human and Mankind it's a huge taboo but it has happened you can look through legit history and you can tell that it has happened and that's why such things you get out like the way they do my people are compelled to create stories and things of such nature it serves as a warning to be careful I can recall a story about the downer party if you learn about the history about that event in the story you'll realize that I'm talking about an event that also involves cannibalism go ahead look it up but the history up you'll see what I'm talkin. We human have in mankind happy very strange let me put it this way we have a Savage nature if we ain't careful and we can do some very not human or Humanity Rhian type things things that are considered very taboo like cannibalism and their liske probably go on depending on the where you want to go into course and the history of it of course the history of cannibalism are human history fact it's terrifying to know that our ancestors and people from past tense Jinx such a terrible thing in such a taboo type thing as cannibalism but it's exist and that's why the warning exist it warns that if you don't want to be ashamed and scolded for being a human or Maneater are eating even if the person is deceased a another human being it's still considered cannibalism and unfortunately the shame in the scolding is real indeed fear is real just like the same with the apocalypse and and other such things that produce such you know fear and anxiety in humanity that's why they warning exists simply because people don't want people to repeat the same mistakes words to make the same mistakes as someone who shamed because they want what's best for something better for them they don't want that burden on them it's as simple as that I mean seriously that's my opinion on the matter Annie who made this comment long enough I'll just say have a nice day Bonsai pop.
Threw me off that ur tats switched arms lol
I agree with the title.
This video was made before AoT became a top 5 show of all time
