Attack on tuesday sounds so good

Should have commented that it is okay to skip the recap episode but respect for getting the full "anime experience" of waiting for a week and getting a suprise recap episode

Yup, I'm new to AOT and have been feeling the shocks. Like when Eren was in the titan’s stomach…ewww.

Hi Tim, to answer some questions: 1. Remember the shape of the three walls? Outer (Maria), Middle (Rose) and Inner (Sina) wall, with those small "outpost"ish citys outside of it. - Giant Titan Attack: Shiganshina outer gate (outpost city - Erens Hometown) - "Titan with bones": Shiganshina inner gate (thereby breaking Wall Maria) - All land between Maria and Rose is lost; 20 % of humanity die; timeskip and training for Eren. - Giant Titan attacks again: Trost outer gate (outpost city of Wall Rose) - Eren stops possible further fall of inner gate of Trost with the boulder. - Eren is in custody of Survey Corps (Soldiers that venture outside the wall) and interrogated by Commander Erwin and humanity's strongest soldier Captain Levi 2. Seasons overview: 1st Season: 25 Episodes (split by special episode 13.5) 2n Season: 12 Episodes 3rd Season: 22 Episodes (split in 1-12 and 13-22) Final Season Part 1: 16 Episodes Final Season Part 2: 12 Episodes Final Season "The Final Chapters": Either 2 Movies (60 and 90 Minutes) OR 7 Episodes (or 1 Special Movie called "Last Attack" with ~145 Minutes) 3. Soundtracks: Of course there is a huge compilation with all openings. It's absolutely worth watching, but only after you've finished the series, as the openings (specialy the later ones) contain minor and also massive spoilers for you. I will come back to requesting this in about a year or so, as it's super intriguing to to know, how you would rank them ;-) Again I recommend the Grissini Project Attack on Titan Suite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i06vEDnLlQE Also the original main theme from Sawano Hiroyuki (YouSeeBIGGIRL/T:T) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy63u2hKoPE Then there is the official complete soundtrack by Sawano Hiroyuki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zroFzv7sFis&list=OLAK5uy_l2cAkJV4swcqBugi3sOAbIHGeFL3PZZzU (Here I recommend XL-TT especially, though of course everything is great) And finally the complete playlist with all of the soundtrack and additional songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfAbX-Fg9N0&list=PLtKVsbX6mq9RvO__n08wujegVI0NsuNiu AoT-Funfact of the day: Erens hometown of Shiganshina is heavily inspired by the german town "Nördlingen" - look it up on google maps and you can see it.

Recap episodes are mainly done in order to allow the production studios to keep up with the production schedule. Because of that it's much more common to see them in 24-episode seasons. (Anime generally does 12ish episode seasons, and a few do double that number)

Hey, so disclaimers first - I'm not a language or diction teacher, so apologies in advance if my terminology is garbage. Also, if this is too nitpicky, just tell me to shut up :) Japanese is a very simple language to pronounce - there are roughly 107 distinct syllables in spoken Japanese, which compares to English with around fifteen thousand. This simplicity is mainly due to the regular consonant-vowel structure in Japanese, and the fact that there are only five vowel sounds in Japanese (English has fifteen to twenty.) The five vowel sounds are all short: a - with the jaw open, pronounced in the center (front-to-back) i - with the jaw closed, at the front of the mouth u - with the jaw closed, at the back of the mouth e - with the jaw half-open, at the front of the mouth o - with the jaw half-open, at the back of the mouth 'u' and 'o' are probably the hardest for English speakers, we don't really use vowel sounds that far back in the mouth often. Japanese does have long vowels, but they don't change the pronunciation at all, it's just extending the vowel. So now some notes: 7:18 - Fumareta is a real bear to start with. The 'fu' sound is very different from the english 'f' - it's formed more like you're about to whistle, and just blowing a hybrid h-f sound. The Japanese 'r' is also tricky, you're actually very close on it, but you seem to be rolling the 'r' just a bit, which you don't want to do. Another way to think about it is the Japanese 'r' is just a tiny bit plosive, which is why you might be ending up rolling it. 7:23 - Just a note on 'namae'. Japanese does (kind of) have dipthongs, so in spoken language, you wouldn't actually pronounce it as three syllables na-ma-e. But in this case for the rhythm he sings all three syllables distinctly. 7:25 - The 'zu' in 'shirazuni' has more of a 'z' sound. This is probably to distinguish it from 'tsu.' 7:44 - 'Inotta' is another strange one. Japanese does have stops, and in spoken language, this would be pronounced i-not'ta, with the stop coming in the middle of the t of 'ta'. But here, in order for the rhythm to work, he's actually singing i-no-ot'ta. 8:10 - 'kakugo' the Japanese 'g' sound can be tricky. In isolation, it's a hard g, but when it comes in the middle of a word like this, it's often a little bit of a nasalized ng sound. 8:30 - One of the harder things for new speakers to do is to make sure their vowels are consistent. For example, at 8:30 on 'susumu' it sounds like you're letting the last u in 'mu' slide forward. 'yo' is also too forward in the mouth. I think this might be when you're emphasizing the third beat of each phrase, you're letting the vowels come forward. 8:42 - You kind of stopped at this point, but I just wanted to note that here, in 'annei' and 'hanei' he's bringing both vowels of the dipthong into a single beat. (Also, there's a stop in an'nei but hanei is sung almost as two seperate words - han ei.) Finally just a trivia note regarding speed - spoken Japanese is actually about as fast as the bridge section - the first verse would be quite slow if it were just spoken.

I've been learning Japanese for the past few months for a trip I plan to take next year to a friend's wedding. Learning Hirigana and Katakana was a pain but I've gotten to where I can start to sound out words. Sentence structure is another thing I struggle with as I was first taught "Subject Object Verb" but I get confused when times and places and other things are mixed in. Particles and when to use each one are also a little confusing. Word wise I get a lot of verbs confused due to the similar endings on them all. Are there any tips you would give to a beginner learner in Japanese?

Recap episodes are common in anime along with "filler episodes" which are story arcs completely original to the show. They usually happen when the show gets caught up story wise and instead of going on it's own, waits for the original work to get ahead again. There's another anime I've watched that loves to break the fourth wall and explains this really well. https://youtu.be/a4S9NuI6NKo?si=AcScz74OoHqaBE8I

Unfortunately, I mainly learned Japanese by speaking with my parents, I only had about a half-year of actual Japanese schooling, so I couldn't diagram a sentence to save my life. Japanese is a difficult language to learn in many respects because there are lot of times when things have to be deduced from context. And it's a language filled with homonyms that also have to be figured out by context. If your level is such that you can follow a little of the dialogue in AoT, you might try other anime or Jdramas to watch.
