The Rumbling Intro and Music Video

Some anime songs/ openings are created soley for the anime , so they’ll have to least read. But some songs animes use are made by artist in their own respected albums that was made before the anime/manga was even a thing . It just all depends and varies .

Jacob Young

I think the stepping on the butterfly is referring to "the butterfly effect" which is a rule used in time travel where one small change in time travel can cause a chain reaction

Miles Coleman

So, I'm a bit late to the party here. Like, half a year late. But anyways, so far as I understand it a lot of reactors skip openings and intros because they don't wanna risk getting spoiled or something along those lines. My personal opinion, and keep in mind that this is just an opinion, is that there are spoilers, such as being told who the titan-wielders are before they are revealed in the show, and then there are teasers, such as being shown what the nine titans look like but not learning anything more about them. Openings and Endings are teasers, not spoilers, and should be watched twice per season at minimum; once when it first shows up and the content of the video doesn't really make any sense, and then once again after you have finished watching that specific season, so that you can fully appreciate it and the effort the studio put into making it..

Eternals Developing

Did they react to the ending "Akuma no ko"??

Agustina

Yes, all the openings or endings are written for the anime itself, they don't take a song that already exists. And usually the lyrics have something to do with the anime or the characters. I don't know how it works exactly but all the singers and composers have to know how it will be or what the story is about to make the songs based on that.

Crismel Mejía Jiménez

haha

Michelle Lam

Did they react to the ending song of this season?

Raman

The official lyrics and subtitles for the song say "Beware" tho so...

Papa_Smjördeig

Flügel Der Freiheit

Noo it is "beware"

Papa_Smjördeig

OMG the way I started singing along with you guys! I love this opening so much, everything about it is perfect

Gael

Don’t believe me but I’ve read in some YouTube video sections that the band (Sim) entered some kinda contest to be a part of that season and opening as well, so isn’t crazy to think that the lyrics were written based on SNK’s story.

Wild Argüelles

It’s incredible! I have it on repeat since it was launched

Wild Argüelles

I cry a river every time I hear this song and watch the MV and opening. All the feelings Eren had till this point.

Phyllis

I'm begging you guys to react to some of the OST once you finish this season of the show! I've been a huge AOT fan for a decade now and I'd be happy to make a small list of the most important OSTs to react to!!

Monii

Ron's vibes sometimes triggers my ticks lmao all love. and Finally, Ron said it perfectly @10:17 it truly is, and I mean, all of it, the score, the plot, masterpiece.

Reggie Azem

I always thought they were saying “make way” lmao until I looked up the lyrics.

Troy Straughn

Guys please react to the ending with the lyrics after the last episode trust me

Faith Kim

I’m addicted to this song in an unhealthy way, AND I DON’T EVEN LIKE ROCK MUSIC + Ron you’re literally ROCKING it with your analysis lately lol that part was truly about when Eren saved Mikasa but I think it’s also brilliant if it meant that he never wanted to grab that survey corps’ knife, maybe it does work both ways and I LOVE IT

Faith Kim

As a watcher of your reactions I’d just want to get the most out of your reactions per episode as opposed to some thing that’s watered down if you guys had watched the opening. I understand that most things rumbling are a given but not knowing when it would happen and in witch episode just made the reaction better. Otherwise you would’ve seen eren get shot and been like “but the rumbling still hasn’t happened… he’s not gonna die” something like that. Idk just my take on it.

victor capulin

The thing is, this is a reaction channel.

Zaak Dann

lmaoo samee

Henry Gutierrez

As someone whos ears are versed in the ways of death metal, I'm pretty sure the "beware" lyric is actually "break free".

Flügel Der Freiheit

And my personal opinion on watching the OP and possibly getting spoiled makes no sense to me because ppl who watch trailers to something.... u basically watching an OP with actual spoiler scenes from the show or that season from that specific trailer lol. So I never understood ppl who will watch trailers and AMVs, yet will skip the opening for spoilers. Plus they only watch openings once so its fine imo. its whatever tho

Alex cleveland

They need to add Tems or SZA for the final OP on the last part because thats how we going out LMAO. Best OP for me on AOT 😭

Alex cleveland

Y’all got to react to the ending next, with the lyrics would be great but atleast the watch outro!!! That would be lit 🔥

Bessbuyyyy

This intro is such a banger! 🔥 speaking of Linkin Park they just put out a new single called Lost and its fire. Rip Chester 🕊

NakoaX

Ong it got me tearing up😂

Tyler

This opening is through Eren's perspective. Gives you a little inside into Eren

Quee Quee

pretty sure the grab the knife was in reference to Mikasa and Eren as kids yes ;---; could I ask that you leave the intro in for patreon reactions for the rest of the season? LOL also for your own personal fun, SiM has live bass, drum and lead guitar versions of this song as well to really bring out the instruments its so badass. Bass is def my fave version then drums.

Harper

this song goes way too hard. and as a manga reader I totally didnt mind this "spoiling" the show it just feels weird listening to this intro every episode and no actual rumbling happens... so just feels kinda out of place but man its a BANGER. My fave line has to be "tell me what did I miss" because Eren had the founder and attack titans powers, hes the only person who can see the future as well as the past and thats exactly why hes doing everything he is doing and the "wat did I miss" part is others trying to tell Eren he is wrong... but how would they know? do they have the assault titans power? or the founding titans knowledge?

Harper

This was funny enough in my top songs on Spotify last year

Lui

I have been waiting for yall to watch this intro. Such a cool song. You should listen to "FOOTSTEPS OF DOOM" as well.

john Alexander

haha same! We have been listening on repeat!

Michelle Lam

One of my favorittes

Deathwolf01

And you have to react to the ending too, it's so beautiful...

ChepeMind

Yep, the lyrics are indeed Eren c:, also once you guys get to see the last episode and watch the outro the pay attention to the lyrics and you will notice that it is also Eren referring to “stuff”

Bryan

Oh no. I’m not saying my name isn’t in there. It probably is since I’ve been subscribed for a couple of months already. I’m just saying because the names go to fast & it’s hard to look for the name.

Juan Jose

Hey Juan! We update the end credits list on the first of every month so I’m not sure why this is the case. The only thing that I can think of is maybe Patreon is in the middle of processing payments on the 1st so those who aren’t signed up automatically don’t show? Will look into this and figure out how I can get an accurate list of everyone

Michelle Lam

u have to do the ending now

veljko Milosevic

I prefer the ending and previous opening “my war”, but “the rumbling” rocks too. Openings and endings usually are made for the show, yeah… so they have to write the lyrics based on what happens.

Carolina

Watch the ending now 😈

Malik Ford

s3 part 2 has way more spoilers than this one tho, not comparable

iu

If you guys want to react ending song. I recommend that searching "ヒグチアイ / 悪魔の子 (アニメスペシャルVer.) | Ai Higuchi “Akuma no Ko” Anime Special Ver." in youtube. This one is full version with anime background and lyrics. The ending song hits different after watching all the episodes

Tony Hong

because it contains massive spoilers.

Waver

ok now listen to Euthanasia (A parody of this song as if zeke was the main character)

Asko271

First thing I did in the morning, I opened patreon, watched this video and I was hyped and ready to do a training. Really woke me up

dzuudo

There's kinda few animes that use music already created before. Like there's that one Japanesse song "Chiisana Koi no Uta" (covered by many artists), used for "Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san", and this season used as ending for "Otonari no Tenshi-sama". Or "Kanade" which got covered into an Isshukan Friends Ending. There's a lot more, but i've watched too much anime to remember.

Taiga

Haha, are we like mindcontrolled? Because for some reason i had the same idea today, i stopped the end credits every few names, took me few minutes, and i also didn't found myself. Consistently subbed for like 3months i think.

Taiga

Frankly, i don't like the full version and the music video. The video feels like i'd watch Tokyo Hotel, from early 2000, they look kinda cringe and the video too. And the parts of this song, that were cut from OP, also worse than the rest of the song that was used in the OP.

Taiga

Can you do the ending outro too🙏🏼

Jon Rose

the endong is super good too! recommend to watch it~!

yoko

because its their decision and they can do whatever they want LOL and 95% of openings is full of spoilers

Normadus

The song when released was #1 on the rock billboard charts

Wasim Azad

Not always

Waver

omg yes !

Galado Isma

EVERY song of AOT is written for AOT. So you all should check it out ALL lyrics. ALL of them is about the story. Even the ones not used in the show, but from the same álbum

Rhuan Soletti

I thought all of the composers have to know the story by something like an image cuz they have to understand the emotions or atmosphere created by the characters and they have to express that feeling through the song. I once watched Sawano Hiroyuki's interview and he said something like this. This is why I really respect not just only composer of the anime but everyone who composes the song cuz expresses emotion through the song is not easy it's not just lyrics but melody(did I say it correctly?) is necessary too, all of them are so amazing.

NAID

Lol Im talking about animes in general, never said specifically AOT but even then my first watch through of AOT this OP spoiled nothing for me cause I had no idea what was going on until it actually happened especially since I only watch an op/ed once then skip it until I see it changes.

David Waller

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

LandMarkMetal

As a longtime metal fan seeing you guys headbang and rock out was dope!!! This song definitely has hype vibes! 🎸🤘

Samurai_X_420

also guys react to the ending song as well in ur next reaction

aryan2k2

ayyye my comment made it to the video lesgoooo

aryan2k2

I’m an anime only watcher, and the opening literally shows the rumbling happening, Annie de crystallizing and the march on marley with big ass eren in the background. It spoiled the fuck out of me when I first watched the op as the episode came out. Because I didn’t know what direction the show was going to take before the OP. So I wish I hadn’t seen it.

Hertog

This was so hype, I shouldn’t have watched this at 5am. How am I supposed to go to sleep now! 😭😭

bakugoat

I think it's dumb not watching the opening right away. The creators of the show made it for a reason. Everyone else watched the opening on the first time when the show originally aired, why shouldn't you?

Oron Bar

This was soo much fun to watch! Your energy was dope!! You guys should check out the ending as well with lyrics, it really hits hard when you know what they’re saying

Fola Omotola

The first time I saw the opening I cried. It’s not supposed to be a sad song but it’s so tragic 😭

Alyssa

the thing about openings is that in japan almost 99.9% of people read manga so openings often contain spoilers . recently japaneses (especially the last 5-6 years) studios started to avoid putting big spoilers (or more like in a subtle way) because they are aware that their foreign audience is big and they know that not all of them read mangas .

Zongo

bro it shows the rumbling happening, annie defrosting, and the fight in paradis lol wym

Brandon Gomez

All of the music in this show has lyrics relevant to the series. Check out the lyrics of the Season 1 OP, Barricades, and others. You will be mind blown. The music expands on the characters, feelings, and themes of the series.

Jag_227

David Waller

I was jammin' so hard with you guys!

Jose

Watch the ending with subtitles!!

Zaira

bro the ending op is way too good

Kevin

Ron’s big brain ! And Michelle’s excitement at screamo is so lit! Now I am waiting for the ending reaction and the full ending clip (prepare some tissues) love y’all

Koink

They dont care about spoilers in the openings because first most people in Japan already read the manga and second they just dont see spoilers the same as we do, for them it's just teasing and à way to hype people. They do that for a lot of anime

DerozTY

With subtitles too

Kenneth Aldwin Morales

Yes please

Kenneth Aldwin Morales

Breathtaking and heartbreaking 🥹

Kenneth Aldwin Morales

Ending > Opening i feel (8

Kenneth Aldwin Morales

If you guys watch the ending try to read the subtitles with the ending 🥹❤️ the lyrics of that song are breathtaking

Kat

No ED reaction? :(

Kenneth Aldwin Morales

This song went straight to my gym playlist when I first heard it

Uku Kivisild

Agreed this is the best their is for AOT but we’ll have to see what masterpiece they give us next haha

Elisha Riley

It's going to be very hard to top this one.

JMen

i hope this song win the best anime song of 2022 award! the ending song "akuma no ko" by ai higuchi is so beautiful too and there's also a live version of it (live at ex theater roppongi) + the first take version

adam

Yeah I love the opening song, it gets you so pumped up for some episodes 🔥

FoxfireEspresso

The Rumbling I believe actually hit #1 for Rock on the charts! 🔥🔥

Lalisa Truong

Me too haha

Galaxy Shogun

"All I ever wanted to do was know what's out there" 😭

Jason

Thank you for posting so early!!!

Galaxy Shogun

This a hype song! Side note. Am I the only one who tries to find their name on the end credits of the video but can’t find it lol

Juan Jose

To answer y'alls question about opening songs being created for the anime itself, the answer is yes. Believe it or not but anime openings and endings are what make a lot of these bands blow up! Also, if you were to go back and watch previous aot openings and endings with subtitles, you'd be mind blown by all the foreshadowing given within the songs! Y'all should do a video reacting to all openings and endings 😁

Val

Tru that

Allen Valdes

Yeah anime OP and ED are made for the anime, the artist create the songs based on the anime

aairam_04

i've never read the actual lyrics before this and i thought that the "I don't want anything, I'm just here to..." lyric was "I don't want anything, just you two.." referring to Mikasa and Armin from Eren POV

Nimsy

Yes finally! Best intro by far🤩

Tengen Uzui

I'm so glad you guys did this reaction! And to both versions of the songs! You guys are incredible 💗

Aaron Kinnard

Let's gooooooo!!!! BEWAAAAREEEEEE!!! 😃

Kevin Ordonez

the ending with lyrics is amazing

Rudy

Was super awesome seeing the reaction to this intro and in my opinion one of the best intros of this anime. but maybe in march when the next part is released they’ll have a better one 💪🏼

Elisha Riley

It will be hard to top this one

Divine Simp

React to the ending pleasee

Dajhaya Jones

Huh

Dajhaya Jones

You should react to the lyrics for the ending

Joshua Allen

Wtf am I reading

Charles

No ED reaction ?

MishkaTho

Omar Bautista

Let's goooo. IM TEARLESS. IM FEARLESS.

Wingsxofxfreedom

Ill tell you why. They dont care about spoilering the watchers just care about bangers. The season 3 part 2 intro literally tells you Armin and Erwins dies and Armin becomes a titan

Burning Talons

I was just about to go to sleep. Now I am too hyped!

Subzero Anime

SUSHI SQUAD ITS FINALLY HERE!!! *Takes hit*

Santos The Highkage
