In AOT episode 2x1, the season begins with lots more questions, few answers, and the fuzziest Titan yet.


About the OVAs:

I decided to do Ilse's Notebook as an extra video. Although I said I was about to watch it in this video, I haven't had the chance yet, but I will release both that and episode 2x2  on Thursday. 


I'll do the same for No Regrets but not exactly sure when, since that seems less time sensitive.

Ah, rejoice my friends. It's monke time.

You might want to clarify that on YouTube when episode 2 drops so that people don't drop comments like "where is no regrets" or asking if you've seen it

Stephen

season 3 openings have massive spoilers, this one wasn't too bad relatively

Nick

Only the second opening to season 3 has spoilers

Also I love Moblit being caring and making sure Hange doesn't have blood on her hands by dropping the pastor <3

Season 2 everyone are you ready to SASAGEYO!!!! (ngl had the volume up, doing the scouts salute and singing along to that op) man am i excited for this, s2 was when the show proved it wouldn't just be an edgy action show. Also rip to Miche, 2nd only to levi so big loss for the scouts

agoodwintv

Show: Miche is 2nd only to Levi Me: Oh I guess it's time to develop Miche Show: No.

agoodwintv

I wanna agree and acknowledge Moblit, but as soon as he hits my radar he'll die.

I always had the questions of how humanity was able to create those massive walls that appear to have no cracks or lines that indicate the use of bricks. it doesn't seem like the tech of this era is that advanced as well.

I think you've got it, but just to clarify about the whole time rewind situation/why the 104th were in the castle unequipped, that scene took place at the same time as the sting against Annie. The Corps knew that at least one person helped Annie kill the captured titans (which could be anyone from just an informant to one of the other intelligent titans we've seen), and the most suspicious are her friends from the 104th cadet training corps. Erwin selected Armin, Eren, Jean-Jean, and Mikasa for the operation because he was certain they were clear, and had the rest of the 104th under surveillance at the castle to test if Annie's allies were in the group (which is also why they were unarmed). Since this took place at the same time as the fight, this also means that none of the rest of the 104th know that Annie has been revealed as the Female Titan and captured. But in the best case, Erwin's suspicions are wrong and the 104th are clear, like Miche said...

Sh3nx

Finally... MONKE

mr_wordcraft

"I'm gonna just stop liking every character, that'll prevent their deaths" Nice try, but it won't work. T___T

War2244

Monke! SHINZO SASAGEYOO!!!! The reason the recruits were not given time to gear up is because there gear wasn't there. Erwin had the entire 104th recruits put there on watch just in case there were more titan shifters in that class.

Dempsy

What tier is the list of people at the end? $3? $5? etc. I just wanted to know because I've been $5 tier for 2 months now and I dont see myself. :)

Megan

Yes. That’s why Sasha and Connie looked so bored, they weren’t involved in the capturing of the female titan.

Chaz Finch

Shhh! Nobody tell him that it's the Beast Titan

My favorite ending!! the creepiest one by far, but the art style and song fit the aesthetic of the show so well. This season is incredible btw. I can’t wait to see more of your reactions!

Great reaction! Love the analysis. You mention the red scarf, and I didn't even realize it until it was pointed out to me a few weeks ago, but the scarf is actually in the ending credits. There's a lot to that ending, visually.

Aaron Ong

It is the Goodwin Fruit Wealth Conglomerate, the $10 one. You get a shout out when you join, as well as your name at the end!

Hey, Alex! Because of this reaction series, I’m now caught up on the show and approaching this episode in the manga. Thanks for introducing me to this amazing world that I probably wouldn’t have checked out on my own. I’m obsessed. Hope you’re doing better after your breakup. Have you ever heard the song Waves by The Dear Hunter? Great breakup song IMO. Anyways, looking forward to S2 as well as the conclusion of FMA. Keep up the awesome work!

Aaron Ong

Ah, the Beastie boy. I am so exited for this arc coming up- some good development for the "side" characters, good action, great art, and amazing soundtracks. With a 4 year jump in production time, as well as a huge jump in budget, this season is the 1st of many visual spectacles to come. I am very hyped to ride along this one with you! SHINZOU WO SASAGEYO

a. tree

This is also my favorite ending! It's also rife for analysis if that's something Alex is interested in; there's a ton of interesting imagery that hints towards the lore of the show. It's by the band Shinsei Kamattechan, which also recorded the season 4 opening and is apparently notorious for making really cool and trippy music.

Anonymous

ah yes the true attack on titan experience: leaving the episode even more confused and upset that a favorite character has died.

Ending is very middle ages and it scares the crap out of me for some weird reason

agoodwintv

Yeah I actually just went back to watch the ending again (partly to hear the music again), and it's gonna take me a long time I think to really get it, if I ever do.

mapo picker

Ye same, this ending combined with the feeling that you have no idea what's going on creates this scary vibe for the season.

agoodwintv

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I'm doing well, all things considered. I hadn't heard that song but I just listened to it and really liked it. Thanks for the recommendation and for checking in on me :D

Imagine if all of your best predictions will be by accident. But the world of this show really is truly bizarre lol so anything is possible!

RationallySassy

Entertaining reaction as always - love your baffled expression when the frame is just hanging on the Best Titan, aha. I'll echo a few other peoples sentiments (my personal experience as well) that the second opening to season 3 is Actually spoilery. For the previous one you didn't watch at first, it wasn't so much spoiling anything but implied things. Season 3 opening 2 actually shows plot points. I wasn't spoiled by any of the opening except that one - I ended up figuring a lot out because of it! As a warning. If you end up watching it I feel like you'll be able to guess things but who knows haha

knownbeginner

They did Miche dirty with his death :( still the most uncomfortable one to watch for me

agoodwintv

Maybe that's the right psychology: Approaching every mystery with the question, "what would be the most ridiculous answer be?"

Jon

Holy shit this one had me laughing so hard. 4:13 and 22:18 especially I literally spit out my drink 😂

meg

I agree with the people in the comments about the openings, the second opening for season 3 shows a lot of future plot so avoid that, but the first opening in season 3 is completely fine. On the topic of openings!! Season 2's opening is probably the most memed and quoted opening its also Erwin's/survey corps' moto, "shinzou wo sasageyo" means "dedicate/offer your hearts". The ending music and imagery just get better and better each season. This ending has a dark macabre feeling that fit the shows somewhat medieval looking time period really well! It also really fits the shows theme of weird imagery that makes my skin crawl. Speaking of things that make my skin crawl, the beast titan's entrance was the most shocking/horrifying things I've ever seen, my brain could not comprehend what I was seeing. I hated it the first time I watched it. It felt almost primordial because of its monkey figure, the way it talked, and the questions it asking Miche, like if they were speaking the same language and what the function of the ODM gear was. It honestly made me go into an existential crisis for a few hours after. Of course after all those shocking revelations it was then followed by Miche's horrifying death. I almost quit watching the show because I thought they were trying to making me feel sick for the fun of it. But I'm glad I didn't because this is one of my favorite arcs/seasons! so many great moments to come!

ArmdVctr

You are lucky, the wait for season 2 was 5 years.

agoodwintv

The whole scene is so shocking and surreal. I didn't even know where to begin lol. It's a lot to process.

ArmdVctr

Waiting for the manga to have more content to adapat. Manga's finale will be on April.

Welcome to season 2! I really enjoyed your confusion especially when the beast titan started talking LOL...can't wait to see the rest of your reactions for this season :)!

benj

The first time watching this show I was horrified by the Monke Titan but as soon as it bent down, made that smirk face and started speaking with Dio's (Jojo character) voice I just started dying laughing. Goodwin's reaction did not disappoint here lmao.

Neubaufahrzeug

I feel like every reactor I watch has that same look when the titan started to talk.

Brimmy

Oh my god ur reaction to the beast titan was everything i loved how confused and baffled u were s'gonna be a great season (also quite short only 12 eps) we'll find out if that Jean prediction is correct XD

The Beast Titan is clearly Mikasa.

Anna Lena Ciplajevs

It seems to me that the beast titan could be mikasa... she has hair... suspicious

Yusuf

Your theories are on the right track. You are not as lost as I was. It is weird how you say you are so lost and yet your theories are not grasping at the straws. Ilse's note will clear things up? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

KJ Gaona

SO excited for the show to actually kick off! Season 1 is basically like those synopses on the back of a book where it tells you what the story is about but doesn't actually tell you what the story is really about. And now that you've gotten past it and opened the book, you can finally start reading........(drum roll)........ (cymbal crash) THE PROLOGUE WOOHOO HOORAY (confetti showers and party whistles)

He said something profound and inspirational about fighting on so you'd think he'd prevail. Then the show's like HAHA NOPE

agoodwintv

Hmm I'm waiting until I see them both in the same place... Then I'll know for sure it's her.
