YES IM STOKED FOR THIS! aschwift on titan

Pablo Reed

I’m looking forward to it! I quite enjoyed AOT, even though I was conflicted about the ending.

isaac

hyped to hear your thoughts on the series. its definitely one of those stories that is the best thing you've ever read/watched until you finish it... similar disappointing vibes to the end of GOT with it feeling rushed and thoughtless. Still, nothing compares to the first time experiencing the basement reveal.

Joe Gang

So excited. Absolutely loved the music in this show.

Rachel Wheatman

No way, just rewatched this the other day. [SPOILERS for anyone else reading] What did you think about the 'Eren had no choice-ish' kinda ending? I feel he was always an angry kid & maybe I missed the point. It didn't actually seem that he made ANY choice at all, it was just 'well this is what happened, that's how it is'. Sort of took away his agency a bit. The concept was really cool imo & final form Eren was wild. But I also can't help feeling it slightly dropped into a cop-out after Marley was introduced.

Rachel Wheatman

lmao it's been a while since I rewatched it and I forgot about the 'kingslayer!!' Euron respawn out of the sea and pregnant Cersei amounting to nothing. I could be swayed to take this opinion back :/

Kelly Theobald

OMG you’re doing Attack on Titan?!??! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I always thought the ending kinda mirrors what I expect for asoiaf—truly a turning of the wheel I’m so excitedddd!!!

Kelly Theobald

I also didn’t really get the “eren had no choice” thing. Probably what I felt most weird about regarding the ending. It felt kinda like a cop out? His final form really is wild though! Just when you think they can’t make the titans any creepier, they somehow manage to

Jarick Rieffer

The obvious question is how do you think the walls compare to The Wall in ASOIAF? There are rumors of dragons being in the walls in ASOIAF (Citation Needed) which is similar to giants being in the walls for the rumbling in AOT. Also Erin vs Jon Snow comp? Maybe more of an Erin vs Stannis?!

I can't wait to be really annoying and ask you about One Piece because, stop me if this sounds familiar, it's a long running series that ostensibly started in 1996, has thousands of named characters, some of the best worldbuilding in fiction, and it's initial timeline has significantly ballooned and the series is ongoing to this day. Seriously though there is a huge vacuum for intelligent people who have thoughtful media analysis who talk about this series (because it's a manga aimed at children) but I do think there are a lot of parallels to the *kind* of story George is trying to tell with ASOIAF and I think the manga is worth checking out.

Kelly Theobald

If you’re looking for a good One Piece YouTuber, Melonteee is great (and hilarious). I agree though, I’m dying for good intellectual analysis of some of my fav anime

milo

Excited to check out Attack on Titan. Ever play or think about analyzing the Death Stranding lore? It’s dense and rewarding The first game was amazing and the second game has made it a completely iconic series. Totally recommend if you haven’t played! The second game takes place in Australia. There is a forthcoming multimedia expanding universe coming too.

Vinny C

Melonteee is the one one piece youtuber I watch, lol

Kelly Theobald

Lol! She’s very good. She absolutely nailed it on her essay about the women of One Piece too. I’m glad to see another fan of her 😂

Silas

I’d recommend Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood as a follow-up to Attack on Titan. A similar deconstruction about WW2 and deeper esoteric questions about being human.

Alt Shift X

I haven't played Death Stranding in entirety, but the bizarre storytelling and vibe is very fun.. An Alt Shift X Hideo Kojima video would be a sight to behold

Alt Shift X

We've kinda always used the GOT show as an excuse to talk about the ASOIAF books. Like, the GOT Explained videos are about the show. But all the other ASX Westeros videos are really more about the books..

Evan Paine

AoT is the best! If you want a shorter anime to jump into next, you should check out Jujutsu Kaisen! It’s a pretty easy watch with a great story and some incredible animation by MAPPA. Plus new season coming out very soon if you need some encouragement. Great vid as always Shift!

Nick Montana

This was a really thoughtful analysis of AOT!! I think where it knocks the ball out-of-the-park is the pure horror/dread that the characters feel throughout the show! Its overall a very evocative horror story expressed through animated facial reactions, just pure terror !!

Alt Shift X

Agreed! It is amazing how AoT keeps coming up with gruesome new ways to horrify the viewer.

jorgedelechuga

I have to second death note if you're inclined to try more anime. fairly short and exactly the type of story I think you would enjoy with much to talk about

Steven Sunseri

Loved hearing your thoughts on AOT, great series. The Levi and Petra relationship haunts me still. And excited to hear how you thought about Pluribus now that it's concluded. I do hope you'll give One Piece a try at some point, I feel like you could really sink your teeth into it, some of the best world building ever imo. Manga might be the better entry point, it goes quicker than you'd think.
