AOT 1x7 Reaction!!

this was like 6 months ago but i just wanted to say that i feel the complete opposite and i think it just has to do w taste. i get rlly annoyed watching most reactors cause they tend to talk over the show so i go out of my way to look for reactors like these two who do. now i do get that sometimes it can be frustrating when they pause right before a big moment or when they pause to ask a question that's about to be answered, but like someone else said they have no way of knowing when the big moment is coming since this is their first time watching and while they may bring in more viewers if they did things like other reactors, it would be far less authentic. they're catering to a specific audience that enjoys long discussions and the pauses which is already i feel like hard to find w these sorts of videos. so while you may not like it, there's many who do and i believe that's their intended audience. i think there's other reactors that you would enjoy a lot more than these two (and i dont mean that in a condescending way, again it just comes down to personal preference and thats ok)

juniebjones

I'm loving your reactions and insights so much XD

Dwob

Im laughing so hard at this reaction right now

Sean Mwachilenga

And like many tv shows, it has elements that reflect real life. It's what can make a show relatable or hit too close to home. Anyone who has experienced death in their life or in their surroundings can be uncomfortable watching this show. Especially one that doesn't even shy away from self-harm or thinking of ending your own life. Violence and violent imagery can cause different responses to different people. Please don't minimize someone else's experience simply because you don't understand it, lack empathy or can't relate. Based off of what they said, it makes sense why the show would make them uncomfortable.

MaikaCoffee

I need Friday to come sooner 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Bibi

I've been in agony waiting for the next episode y'all!! 😂😂 hope y'all can consider watching AoT twice a week because this series seriously deserves it 😤👍

Kiyoshi Kenshin

Commenting again on possible scheduling: Releasing two episodes a week may be the most reasonable considering you have other things you react to On a separate note, there are certain sections in the series where watching 3 episodes in the same recording session is recommended, and I’m sure your commenters or mods can advise when those episodes come up.

Sally

It’s always fun watching new people watch this show 😂

Sally

Already calling it a masterpiece in episode 7?!? 😂😂😂 yall have no idea how much of a masterpiece this show is, it really is a modern masterpiece.

So to times per week AOT so the week is not so long. Love you guys. And please 3 episodes everytime of AOT its the perfect amount to watch per day (so 6 episodes of AOT per week) bc this series is longer.

RaffixD 96

New anime Schedule Mo, death note, Tue, AOT 3 episodes Wen, Haikyu!!, Thursday, Nothing, Fr, AOT 3 episodes, Sat, Nothing, Sunday, nothing

RaffixD 96

Jared & Jordan it is so refreshing to see you guys so deeply reflect on what you see in the show and analyze it. I myself don't think it is annoying when you pause and talk and I think many others could agree, so please keep this up and pause whenever you want to. I have seen many reaction channels where they barely pause and towards the end don't talk much deeply about what they saw, which is unfortunate especially with this complex of a show. In my opinion AOT is most enjoyable when looked into more deeply. You guys rewinding trying to grasp what is happening, pausing to talk about it and the over the top reactions makes me really feel that you guys are extremely invested in it and the show deeply affects you. It really reminds me of what the show did to me mentally, and I can now in a way relive those feelings. Also I think the three videos at a time schedule works well for me. What I have seen other reaction channels do and would advise you myself is to watch specific episodes one after the other for the ultimate experience for you. Dw I and others here will let you know when episodes like that are upcoming. Otherwise take care and enjoy this masterpiece!

BarnaBash

bruh you complain too much. just go watch other reactions

bebe

When Mikasa was giving her speech and said " If I can't, I'll die. But if I win, I'll live. If I don't fight, I can't win." She was quoting what Eren had told her when they were younger to get her to kill the kidnapper. Also, the scarf she wears is the one Eren gave her when they were younger.

-_-AVERY-_-

the red ball thing you saw from mikasa's pov was a pomegranate which symbolizes sanctity, fertility, and abundance. a symbol of life and also of power (imperial orb), blood and death. (according to greek and persian mythology)

bort

This why they should get some mods yall already spoiling

Ibrahim

Thank u Ashley ❤️

bebe

sending you love bebe <3

Ashley K

The twist is twisting (I forgot how hype these episodes are)

Krantic

If you didn’t know Armin was planning on committing slip and slide with the small blade because he didn’t want to die by being eaten, thats why Mikasa threw it and told him she wouldn’t leave him.

delete this pls

Wishing you all the best!

Nothing has been revealed to know anything for sure so please delete this comment. 🙏🏻

@Dimya…^agreed.👍🏻

antionette7

@Kel Yes! Yes! Yes! to your first paragraph. I had to rewind and holler at my best anime moot to come watch J&J’s reaction again with me. So much fun and laughter here on this side of the screen! I think J&J create a solid balance between including their Patrons in decision-making and remaining true to the art they want to create. Art is meant to be a reflection of the artist. When artists are vulnerable and authentic, their art will draw people in and create a following. When one sacrifices authenticity for crowd-pleasing reasons, rarely is the art as enjoyable. And, yes, online reactors/creators are artists. Perfect just the way you are, Jared and Jordan.👍🏻

antionette7

Oleksandra Yakubenko

You know, i once quit AOT cause it was to hard to watch all those characters die, but since my country was attacked and war began, i found that no fiction deaths are affecting me anymore, even such gruesome as in this anime, when before i couldn't finish seadon one. Everything pales in comparison to real war. But this anime is one of most difficult ones i ever saw, so please be careful, cause it can really hit

Oleksandra Yakubenko

i am happy that it's just a show for u. really

bebe

Antoinette I never said otherwise, at the same time it's dangerous to be reading random comments, even if people essentially paid to comment. Some people really can't avoid spoiling. Maybe due to excitement. Also telling them which characters you love the most can be spoilery specially when they already know by now that people be DYING in this show.

Dïmya

Let them do what they want to do, you also say it’s annoying when they pause at a time when something is going to be epic but as first time viewers they have no idea if something is going to be epic. Either learn patience or skip to the end of the discussion. You have the power to affect your own viewing experience so stop complaining

Sean Carroll

I think 4 eps a week, 2 on Tuesday and 2 on Friday is the best

Sean Carroll

Dude at the end of the day it’s just a tv show

Sean Carroll

Wasn't trying to be condescending, was just giving my feedback is all. Nor did I say anything close to them not adding "value to the anime community" or not being entertaining, etc...... Yeah, biggest room is room for improvement, so just let me express my feedback without you gatekeeping. Like I said a couple times already, it's fine that they pause but I request they do it without causing frustration to the bigger majority, the thousands of the potential subscribers they probably could be gaining if it weren't for the excessive pausing for discussions DURING a scene and maybe pause IN BETWEEN different scenes if they must and to not block the screen behind them.

Gings

Hearing y'all say that aot is at least equal to if not better than Breaking Bad after only 7 episodes is wild!! Just goes to show how incredibly well written this show is. And believe it or not but each season just gets better and better! There's a running joke that seasons 1-3 are just the prologue and the story doesn't actually start until season 4 😂 I'm loving you guys' reactions and can't wait to see y'all experience some of the greatest moments in TV history 🔥

Val

I think u guys watching the TV version. AoT season 1 have a corrupt scene in some episode. From eps 4 u can see the trio faces looks weird. And hannes badge is wrong(survey corp).

Armand Maulana

to be fair, they have trouble matching names to faces in every show. lol

Omney

As Mikasa said "This world is cruel but also very beautiful" We really do appreciate you guys sharing your story, love y'all!! They are feeling this way after EPISODE 7.... THIS IS ABOUT TO BE AN INSANE JOURNEY lol

Jay

Jordan was saying that we were probably cursing you guys for pausing and whatnot in that moment but instead I was sitting here laughing with tears in my eyes at your reactions. The way you two stop and rewind to watch certain parts, that’s what I do with you—I have to rewind and watch those moments again where you guys freak out. It’s so entertaining and hilarious but it’s also like reliving my own experience watching this for the first time. I get so excited right along with you. Please never change. As for a schedule to watch this show…you can’t really count on AOT to give you stopping points. Because of the way the show just amps up more and more, and leaves with you crazy cliffhangers all the time, you’ll want to sit and binge the entire show in two days. So my suggestion would be decide before you sit down how many episodes you want to watch each time and then swear to stick to that—no matter what. It’s hard because you’ll want to keep watching but you have to force yourself to stop sometimes. I love that we got three episodes at once this week but I know that’s exhausting for you guys and I don’t want you to get burned out. Either way I’m absolutely loving these reactions so much, I love your discussions, and I love how you analyze as you go along. Hope you’re both having a blessed weekend! 😊

Kel

@Gings I appreciate the dialogue. Admittedly, for me, the op read with condescension which reworded may have read more constructively. The biggest room is always the room for improvement. Simultaneously, the art of producing, creating, editing, analyzing, etc., is also a subjective venture. What appeals to one consumer or critic may not appeal to the next. There are no standardized rules or fixed parameters for creating anime content. I hope you find a home with these two genuine gentlemen while permitting them space to produce art as they see fit; art which brings them personal satisfaction. While their vibe may be less intense or structured than other creators you follow, they are endearing, so genuine (hence some extra pauses), and entertaining. They do add value to the anime community and honor the original art. Best to you.💜

antionette7

Also not yall pausing when you saw the Titan that resembled eren 😂. Sry I’m laughing because y’all’s reactions are so pure and innocent which I love. I’ve watched too many anime that I’m not as surprised what happens in any anime anymore

Sami Casingal

^ bruh...

Gings

^This.

@antoinette Maybe it's cool in the BTS community (no disrespect). But this is an ANIME REACTION channel. Anime shows of various genres and story plots that have action scenes and all sorts scenes that deliver different emotions. It's not the same as doing a deep dive on a music video. Sure, I could easily rewatch a show uninterrupted on Crunchy. But like any other subscribed patron, I enjoy watching reactions and as a subscriber I have the right to express feedbacks. You may want to gatekeep against any constructive criticism maybe bc you're fans of them from their other channel but you telling me I can just watch it elsewhere uninterrupted is you keeping THIS channel from growing. If they wanted to start their anime journey with just their BTS fans community where I imagine everything is purely merry then they could've done so on their other channel rather than starting a whole new patreon. But since that's not the case, maybe let others like myself express my feedback and be heard. I'm not saying they shouldn't pause at all if they don't want, I'm just expressing that it's annoying when there's constant pausing at the worst times like right when the scene is about to peak. It's like the feeling of you're about to watch your favorite sport player score an epic point but your TV shuts off right before. Or imagine if they were watching THOSE certain episodes of demon slayer and like some others have said above, "broke the rhythm", other anime reaction fans would be so pissed.

Gings

Oh girl “desensitized” lol. Once you watch a lot of anime especially if you branch out to other genres, it’s kinda unavoidable. But I feel like it has less impact since it’s still anime. If we were to get desensitized to death in real life (especially humans killing other humans) then that’s a major problem

Sami Casingal

Personally I like the in-depth analysis and pauses to discuss and take it all in. That’s the whole reason I joined their Patreon. I understand that it’s not for everyone but if they were just like every other reactors out there I wouldn’t be here right now.

Kel

The guy teaching the kids was not Grisha 😂

hin0kamikagura

I also wouldn't want them to change anything. I like hearing their discussions and predictions. You could skip ahead if you want. The screen placement I think is good bc I can see their reactions right away 🤗

Kenken

I find J&J’s efforts exceptional (e.g., taking notes, looking up vocab, reading sourced material, creating a doc for organization) and their analysis quite adept and entertaining. I also love the community they are building and I have learned from other Patrons in the comment sections. In Jimin’s words, “Hey, Jared and Jordan, you nice, keep going!” Fighting!💜

antionette7

Two things that drew me to J&J’s reactions: the pausing with commentary and the large screen behind them. Watching the original show without reactors is always an option for those who prefer less interruptions. I wouldn’t change a thing!💜

antionette7

Commenting again that I just joined your patreon but I want to give some honest feedback since you guys seem to be new at this. Not sure if it's your channel's concept but I feel like I'm watching more of an hour long live podcast on a 23 min episode. I like how you guys do your deep dives but bros, respectfully, you guys pause and do in-between discussions way too much and way too long. It's especially painful to watch when you pick the worst times to pause. If you have to pause, just watch through the scene and wait for your discussions and questions after or save them for the outro discussion. These are just my honest feedbacks. I'll stick around for your next uploads but if it's not much different not sure if I could continue. And again, please move the anime screen to the bottom so it's not covered behind you.

Gings

THIS! I think they should just watch the episode and them spiral and look up questions that lingers after the episode. unless ofc they weren't able to read what was happening.

Dïmya

Specially when right after they revealed what the black box contained, compressed gas. They made it out to be something that's yet to be revealed because of the google definition which was funny

Dïmya

Hey tbh I don't think AOT is the show to be reading comments(relating to personal opinions on characters which can be changed as the story goes on, questions for you to reflect and explaining the show poorly), unless you have a moderator. There's people here who are unable not to say spoilers even if unintentionally. And that can really ruin this show for you. I would say, get a moderator to choose the better comments and questions for you to read. Also I feel like you're over analysing this show, which by itself its already a very complicated show. They give answers to almost EVERYTHING on this show. The subscribers simply want you to get every single little detail right away which is unfair to you tbh... Also DON'T google anything AOT related you will get spoiled on something that will ruin the whole show for you (specially when the show is over), and then you'll have to pretend you don't know certain things. Also stop telling these guys every single thing on this show is an easter egg. that won't necessarily make the run show smoother for them. They clearly overthink things and are naive to "anime logic". For example we all knew Sasha heart eyes animation was just for exaggeration, they don't. We have experience with anime, y'all forced them to have this show be one of their first animes and now I think they should just watch it and maybe only after pick up on things they missed ( specially when the main story and plotline is answered and explained on the show many times). You want them to be geniuses analysing this show when they clearly have trouble telling characters apart, or figure out who is talking in a scene. They're not used to anime. Also please don't watch opening credits from now on, it will only confuse you further specially season 2 onwards.

Dïmya

Id say bi-daily max. Yes daily is nice, but i think it allows for build-up when we have to wait

Emanuel

Ideas about a release schedule? Daily? :D

Josef Vidén

I watched this... all of this.... as it was released... alone and it was a life experience. Sadly I didn't have anyone to share my ideas with while watching. I'm so happy I found you guys and I feel like I'm rewatching it with friends. I'm in my 40's and love anime since I was around 18. We didn't have the access people has to it nowadays. I was lucky I found someone that rent it on VHS or blackmarket DVD copies.... ahhh...good times. Sadly I never had people I could talk in depth about the impact of the stories. To many people around me it was a phase the grew out of cause it was stupid cartoon for kids. I sincerely believe people should watch anime. There are so many themes, history and ideas that they cover that it is ridiculous that people still think it's only for kids cause they're "cartoon". Lol! They have no idea what they're missing out on. Glad you guys are giving it a chance and finding on your own about the greatness of anime. AoT as you just experienced can be mentally and emotionally draining so keep track of that. Binge watching can become dangerous. You start at 6pm watching and then get hooked on "let me just watch one more episode" and it turns into ending until it is over and done at 4am. Lol!

Reavel

Just wanted to say I love you guys. I don't really have much else to say besides I can't wait for what's next. I don't think Eren is dead. But I just keep trying to think of a way that would justify him not being dead. I just really hope he isn't gone

Kia

Cheryl Lambert

i remember when i first watched AOT, i stopped at the first ep because i cannot handle the gore esp that was also the year that i have to study forensic at my university and i was so done with seeing all these death scenes and i was even a little depressed since those pictures from forensic were making me fear death of my beloved ones and made me realize how life is so short and can be gone in a second. after years, my brother told me to try since it is good even then i was trying not to watch. after a few months, i started watching s1 again but i stopped after s3. that is until now. I feel like my mental state is not good enough yet for me to see the end of AoT (i saw the spoilers anyway) but the journey that i have to finish it is a hurdle that i dont want to try. Esp during these past few years, my country in under civil war and i have to see real people getting killed and burnt alive by the military. So I believe I have enough of these things until i do. That's why i am only watching happy, cheery vibes esp like haikyu, iruma kun and etc. Cause i know i feel better not watching it through. Gotta give myself some relief. and i cmmted about this because if this ever gets too heavy for u, it's ok to take a rest. It's better to take care of yourselves first

bebe

You are both very brave to talk about your mother. Opioids affect everyone in some way or other. I’m thinking about my niece. I just had to say farewell to my brother last week, not opioids but cancer. AOT is a lot 🥹. I’ve watched this series five/six times already and still finding new things that I missed!!!! 😺 it’s so much fun watching all together.

Diana

oh boy you're in for one hell of a ride. and so are Jared and Jordan 😂

Kiyoshi Kenshin

SNK is a shorthand for the Japanese title: Shingeki No Kyojin (meaning “attack of the titans”, “attack titan”, or “advancing titans”). SNK/AOT are used interchangeably within the community

Iona E.

Yes. The delivery hits differently if paused and sidetracked by discussions which is why I mentioned it would be breaking the momentum of the scene. And don’t forget there are some ppl watching along for the first time with them, so for example let’s say during a hyped up fight scene they get amped up but then they pause it right before a climax moment and breaks that rhythm lol 😂

Ashley K

That word is forbidden 🤣

St Patrick Brown

Wow. Oh wowwww. 😵‍💫🤯😱💀🤣 Reading some comments (not all though), I guess I am one of the lucky ones watching AOT for the first time with you guys. I hesitated at first when you dropped the first episode but decided, okay lets do this. I cant really handle the gore parts, but its A LOT more comfortable for me watching with you both. Shut my eyes at some parts in the first few episodes, but continued listening and it got better. Then I started pausing/rewinding more than you did now LOL. Jordan smacking Jared to 'get it together' and untangling the headphone wire was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 I got nothing for now, still lost for words there.. I admit its hard not to binge this on my own, BUT now I want to wait and continue watching the next ones with you for the first time. Love you guys! 💜🙏💜🙏💜 Post-edit: As a first-timer, I didnt notice this at first, but it was something Yagami explained about the walls you read during the discussion in Ep5 when they said “..4 big cities around each wall..” I could see the overview image of the 4 small semicircles around each wall during the intro part of each episode so far. So if you want to capture a visual of how they look like and add it to your notes, you can go back to around the 3:20 mark in this episode 🫶💜

Lynn #7

the way Mikasa process it, is very human (or maybe i just relate cause i've experience anhedonia before) she just subconsciously block all of her emotion we can se the "light" in here eyes are gone, this is some lifeless eyes we see here :x

noakey harding

well i disagre with the "rewind after finishing the episode" but i would agree with the fact finish the scene first then pause and rewind it as much as they want could be better, usualy scene are not randomly put there poeple have a vision of what and how they want tell a scene, the writting of it isnt random sometime 1 minute scene is made to build up something and make you feel something or hit you in the guts, if you pause 10 sec before the delivry then unpause it will hit differently, (think about THIS thing in season 2, the way it is deliver it a big part of why this scene stay in memory and mark people, it was pure genius) but anyway i'm fine with the way they do it overall, i do think they sometime lost part of the experience but is the downside of almost every reaction chanel, react to something isnt the same as watch it full imersed and reflect of what you just watch afterwise

noakey harding

sounds like a ya*****st

Sean Carroll

idk, I do like random pauses cuz thats the moments when they want to "stop the reality" to realize what the f just happened. Dont forget that different ppl perceive reality during unexpected moments differently, for some time start to move faster cuz they cant wait even a second longer to find out whats next, for some time almost stops cuz they are afraid/too excited to find out what's gonna happen in the next moment:) So by asking them to not pause during the scene and rewind after finishing the episode, you are basically saying "no" to Their genuine reaction. I got why you asked about pauses but that's because you already know what will happen after and also because thats the way you perceive reality :)

bedifferent

Daily. Daily. Daily.

Brittany Corrine

Nah she wasn’t talking just to Armin she talking about them all…eren dad is a doctor so I don’t think it’s being suspicious that he was checking doing checkups like he always do also eren dad isn’t the teacher. Even with eren not being there he helped her out in her time of need still telling her to fight. Also she said eren speech word for word back to her squad members to get them motivated….so sorry to hear about you guys mother as well 🙏🏾💔

Caraxes🐐DT

oh i wish i could watch aot again like the first time, great reaction guys

Lizi Monton

I always thought the best shows are those who can make you reflect on your own life or real life issues and struggles, make you ask yourself if smth is truly right or wrong and even change your perspective and understanding of people and situations AOT can make you go through it at times...I really enjoyed your reactions^^ and can relate to your personal story as well ...Worth noticing Armin who was ready to sacrifice himself bc he thought he should have died in Eren's place, Jean who felt powerless bc he didn't have the means to save anyone despite being a leader in this situation

C R

Can’t believe i gotta wait a whole week for episode 8

Emanuel

Yall got me in my feels with this one guys. Glad you guys enjoying my favorite show of all time. After watching this series Nothing has quite hit the same. Y’all are dope man don’t stop. Your reaction be making my day

Paper Bags

My career is a high-stress one requiring intentional breaks and self-care. My most effective destressors are movement, art, and storytelling. Anime has jaw dropping art and heart-filling and heart wrenching storytelling. Good medicine! Enjoying anime with an IRL buddy or two amazing twin reactors only amplifies its healing powers.💜 I am also 10 years post the most significant loss I have experienced to date. While the first few years were devastatingly painful, I built resilience through deliberate choices: I have purpose (my work), I redirect my mindset toward positivity, I regularly express gratitude, and I nurture my connections with others. The force that propelled me forward with the greatest gains, however, was (and still is) giving love. Knowing others count on receiving love from me and performing acts of service for others fuels my tank. 10 years later, I can see so many blessings despite the loss and personal growth despite the pain.💜 Thanks again for being vulnerable and letting us have a glimpse into your own greatest loss. May peace continue to find you both. Grateful for all your generosity with the current reaction schedule. New schedule for AoT drops? I’m sure we’d be very greedy with our suggestions! I’m happy with whatever gives you two joy and balance.💜 Question: Are you chess men (like Pyxis and Marquis) or checkers men? Which battle of strategy would you rather play?

antionette7

This show does an insane amount of foreshadowing, but since the viewer can only focus on so much that most of it gets taken for granted.

champa

J&J, we love your in depth reactions which is why we're all here. But please 🙏🏻, less and shorter pauses 😭😭 lmao. Don't break the momentum of the scenes and just feel the feels you're meant to feel by emerging yourself into what you're watching, so fight the urge and pause AFTER going through the entire scene if you should pause or if it's worth sitting through just wait until after the episode to rewind and discuss. Questions you have will be answered IN the show and some of them are even answered just seconds after you un-pause, and obviously ppl love answering them in the comments. And you have ppl like me to go after anyone that leave spoilery/TMI comments 😈. Of course by all means, rewind when you miss something, and pause on screens like "info we can share so far" or if you need to re-read subtitles so you don't miss anything. My condolences to your mother's anniversary. 🖤 It was my grandfather's 10th just a couple weeks ago. He was a huge father figure to me during my father's absence growing up and I loved him so very dearly. I also blamed the system for failing him, so I can relate. And I think 3-4 eps a week is perfect. 😊 Keep up the good work!!

Ashley K

AoT really comes into its own when you realize that it's not a show about titans, it's a show about humans. It's a show about human psychology and the crazy things we do in response to a crazy world, and the things we can be driven to when our appetite for survival takes over the better angels of our nature.

Drew

I don't know which one was funnier, the ending of episode 5 or your guy's reaction when you saw that titan for the first time.

sadie 1!!

Jordan: "If X happens, I'm done with this show." -= X happens =- Jordan: "If Y happens, I'm done with this show." -= Y happens =- Jordan: "If Z happens, I'm done with this show." -= Z happens =-

Drew

The teacher was not Grisha Jaeger - Grisha has long brown hair and seems to be in his early 30s. You'll meet more people with glasses, including some who look quite similar (schoolteachers especially), and they aren't all the same person. Armin wanted to keep that one blade so he could take his own life rather than be eaten by a titan. Mikasa threw it away so he wouldn't do that.

Drew

The taking off and untangling of the headphones was really cute haha, your dynamic is very sweet. It's clear that you love reacting to content together.

misa misa

Aghhh my heart you guys 😭😭 I’m new to AOT and Anime in general but the parallels to real life that I know for sure is that we’re stronger than we know. We are resilient. When you’re brought down flat out you may only get back to a crawl before you’re on your knees but eventually you’re standing back on your own two feet. The human spirit prevails. You didn’t think you would get through 10 years, yet here you are and everyone that loves you are supportive and very proud. When you wish to trade places with your beloved mom, consider the pain you felt and still feel to this day. Would you wish that on anyone? I would hope not. This is going to be a heck of a ride!

Cheryl Lambert

omg im so happy i made a cameo in your previous video hah great reactions guys !! i laughed so hard at your reactions because it’s such a MOOD 🤣 aot and breaking bad are actually two really special shows for me. breaking bad is one of my fave shows, and my mom’s and brother’s fave show of all time. and i knew they would love aot, so i showed it to them. and them, who are not used to watch anime at all, got so hooked and invested it became their favorite show of all time along with breaking bad. so these shows have help me connect even more with my family which i’m grateful :) also yeah there could be some parallels between aot and breaking bad… the insane storytelling, complex characters, the action… in fact, isayama (aot’s author) is actually a big fan, and some of the characters on aot are inspired by breaking bad and game of thrones ! also, in one of your videos you asked if you should pay more attention to the music, and i definitely recommend it !!! aot has some of the best background music ever, it even deserves to be reacted to separately. and it’s so cool y’all are getting interested in the voice actors because that’s my fave thing ever !! i LOVE hearing the passion in their voices, their performance in this anime is crazy. thank you for your amazing reactions and discussions guys !!

Lina

The black box is just an engineering term for any tech that's not directly understandable to an average user, because it doesn't have to be. Your phone is an example of a black box because you most likely don't know all the little details about how it's engineered and coded, but the average user doesn't need to know. Just saying because it looked like you were suspicious of it but the aspect of the black box is not important to the story at all.

Nate

Some episodes should be watched on big groups just like episodes 5-7. I may suggest to have a 2 episodes a week as a constant, and have other time where the episodes are bingeable to be watch a batch of episodes (the viewers may suggest what episode to watch in these order). I'm having fun watching aot again with you guys again after I rewatched it multiple times now. It is so nice to hear your views and opinions on each episodes, keep up the anime reactions.

RiftRusher

We deserve at least 4 episodes a week honestly don’t y’all agree

husso

I was that way watching it first on release weekly. Its ahh yes soldier A and soldier B vibes they gonna die 100% kinda of feeling in season 1 and 2

Zachary Provenzano

Second comment I recommend in your spare time to react to attack on titan suite would be a good YouTube video it’s basically a live performance of the best of the attack on titan soundtrack and is a 10/10 I believe it has 5-6 songs and they’re all in my playlist

So when you were asking in the last episode what an aberrant was. Aberrant is the same as (( abnormals )) which is what they will call them later on or at least in the English dub that’s what they’re called. Basically, normal titans mostly just walk or crawl and are mostly predictable paths and ABNORMALS are the titans that can jump on to buildings and run and are very unpredictable.

ngl it took me few rewatches to understand Armin's intention 😔

Bibi

Hey, guys!! I'm a new patron -- just joined earlier in the week -- and oh my goodness, your energy and the high quality of your discussion / attention to detail does NOT disappoint!! Please don't feel bad about needing to pause every few moments in this show. There is a LOT happening and therefore a lot to pick apart, and I am LIVING for how excited you guys are to catch as many details as you can, deeply understand the narrative, and piece things together as you go along. That's exactly the kind of stuff that I subscribed to see!! ✨ Also, an AOT binge is quite an intense way to spend your trauma anniversary, so I don't know whether to commend y'all or beg y'all to take a nap or something to recover. Hope you two are taking good care of yourselves during what must be a heavy time 💛 Last note because I also missed this the first time that I watched AOT: At the end, when Armin asks to keep that last blade and says "I don't want to be eaten alive"... notice that the blade is broken. It's too short (and probably also too dull) to kill any titans with. And Armin has also given up all his gas to Mikasa, thinking that she'll go on to HQ without turning back to wherever she leaves him. If Armin can't fight titans but doesn't want to die by getting eaten alive, then what do you think he wants the little blade for? 😭 (If you're picking up what I'm putting down then it should make perfect sense why Mikasa yeeted it.)

The notification of your reaction videos of AOT, absolutely makes me smile no matter what kinda day I'm having💜

I have a question and want to answer your question. What did you think about the human trafficking that was mentioned in Mikasa's background story? Did you expect them to have these kind of problems in this world? To me it made the world of AOT feel more like our own world. At first, it felt more like another universe with Titans running around. But I could 100% imagine the human trafficking incident happen anywhere.

Selina

It was my sister who recommended me to watch AOT and I was so grateful for this recommendation, because it’s a masterpiece. But I remember when I was watching it for the first time at some point I asked my sister - is there even a point to learn the names of all the characters that are introduced? 😅

Maria

You guys are very brave sharing your story of your mother and how it helps you relate to AOT. My condolences guys, really.

Goatchis

Yes man i remember ive been watching 1 season in 2 days 🤣

selma bougzir

5 episodes a day

Emanuel

Watching this in class rn, so hyped for these u guys have the most in depth reactions

Emanuel

I've never seen any media that are know how to do it like attack on titan, you guys are on a treasure journey, many people will always stand a point that this show is masterpiece, you don't know what is coming tho, but it's hit so deep the whole series

Sincerely

Just like that comment you reviewed, im a huge breaking bad fan. Been a fan for a long time just like Attack on Titan. Breaking Bad is a cinematic masterpiece, with amazing storytelling just like aot. And acting is phenomenal. Since it's 2 very different types of shows it's hard to compare them fairly right? At least i think so which is why i don't compare them. But there's just something so different about Attack on Titan for me. I love both shows but i'm an avid fan of aot and i've been following the fandoms and rewatched it so many times. It's just...a crazy story with so many twists and turns and it leaves u jaw dropped EVERY SINGLE TIME. And i'm so jealous, jealous of first time watchers this year, who didn't have to wait several years for each season to drop. But at the same time, SO THANKFUL i got to go through this 10 year journey. But what i'm most jealous of, is seeing reactors find out stuff for the first time. Because oh god, being JAW DROPPED in this show is so fun. I miss that feeling because u cant relive it once u watched the show. That first time feeling is just amazing. And as my favorite reactors, my blood pressure is just rising and i can't wait to see you guys find out all the crazy things about to happen. My personal favorite episode of all time, is season 3x20. But my favorite arc of this series is the episodes season 3x10 -> 3x20. But since you guys are at season 1. I'll tell you an episode to look forward to. Season 1...episode 17. I legit can't wait that's how pumped i am. Also Jared having a mental breakdown inside is so funny

Gatha Naranath

AoT certainly has high shock factor. And I've always liked the maneuvering gear, which just makes for really cool action shots. Personally, I feel it relies too heavily on grotesquerie to make its philosophical points, but I guess that's better than gore just for the sake of gore without saying anything...

Lauren H.

I died at 36:36 Jordan helping Jared untangle his headphones because he panicked LMAO???

Gatha Naranath

^ This. 100%.

Ashley K

Omg I love y’all’s pauses 😂

Katelynn Gonzales

I think people constantly saying their favorite characters in these comments is going to ruin a lot of the fun of the show. You’re basically giving away that that character will live a decently long time, have a redemption arc, etc. Please let them learn and form opinions on their own about the characters, rather than giving them preconceived notions about which characters they “should” like . Many characters are intentionally written for you to not like or be unsure about them early on, you’re just ruining the writers intention and story by saying which characters are the favorites by the end of the show

Kevin

Me too.

Patty

LMAOOOO welcome to AOT officially yall. I think MWF works best! Also, I can't wait for you to meet a certain little black haired guy next. Arguably the best character in the series I think alongside Mikasa.

Les

The best is yet to come🤭😭

Viral MajicJ

oh wow, great reaction again guys. love hearing your input and theories on everything gets me excited on what’s to come and what’s yet to be revealed. to this day nothing has come close to what this show has made me feel and i don’t think any show ever will. truly this show is just a masterpiece, and it just keeps getting better and better. i’ll never forget the emotions i felt going through the journey of watching and reading (the manga) aot. trust me when i say that you will NEVER forget this show moving forward and this will definitely NOT be your first and only time watching this show. please more frequent releases, the wait is killing me!!! Also side note, it’s best to watch mini arcs that have the same title in them together as you did in this recent release of episodes 5-7 as they go best when watched together!

deiji’

people were pretty hard on them in the comments lol there are a LOT of characters and this is only 1 of 3 shows

Lauren H.

You're gonna meet new IMPORTANT characters in the next few episodes! My favorite (& arguably everyone's favorite) soon✨

Shen

It wasn't Dr. Jaeger it was their professor in their training teaching them what they need to know about killing titans

lauren crawford

When my mother died l couldn't move nor get out of bed. The world looked different. Although it was a sunny day, through my eyes it was gray, dark and static.

Ericken Ellerbee

By the way, I love it when you guys pause. If I wanted to watch it without a pause I would watch it solo and not commentary

Ericken wa Kami no Me da

My dad always said compartmentalizing is the most important part of being a soldier. You can't afford to be emotional in the heat of things so you pack it up in a box and shelve it. But you also have to unpack that box at a later date that's why so many soldiers kill themselves. Because they forget to unpack it. (I'm not saying that in reference to any of these characters, just highlighting how many real world applications this show has)

Lauren Crawford

Those three lines (the three line poem) are what eren said to her in the previous episode when the trafficker was strangling him

Lauren Crawford

Breaking Bad is a great show. It's not one or the other. You can love both. A lot of people just discard anime as shallow and for kids. It's vindicating and wonderful introducing anime to people for the first time. It's why I love reaction channels.

Rhast

The supply team are the people are stuck in hq (where the guy shot himself) the amount of people drew a large amount of titans to the building and they're stuck in it

Lauren Crawford

A good way to watch episodes is watch the arcs like how it said the battle of trost after the last three episode titles. Watching those together is a good way to go

Lauren Crawford

If yall are gonna drop more than once a week I'm here for it.

Lauren Crawford

And since you asked about the schedule, in my opinion you can guys drop 2 episodes on monday, 2 on wednesday, and 1 or 2 on friday or saturday ( like having more episodes in the whole week ) ! Maybe it's a lot but it's never enough to stop with you guys reacting, since we want to share with you this experience and the show already ended this year, and in a certain point you will have to binge it so you keep remembering some informations and details that will be mentionned after, or you will forget everything especially since your watching other anime at the same time ! keep it up and binge itttt haha

selma bougzir

Mikasa is really good at dissociating. It's a trauma response, that I believe came from the death of her parents and then killing a man to save Eren. Not the healthiest way to deal with pressure, but it makes her an amazing soldier, and it makes her a survivor You two are the best reactors. I'm really happy how much you're enjoying these animes. I look forward to them every week

Rhast

I know you guys are busy and we appreciate all your efforts but IF YOU GUYS HAVE TIME I would highly recommend watching episodes 8-10 together next week and then episodes 11-13 the week after 💜 No worries if you guys can't 😊

Bibi

Imagine saying that in just the first episodes of the first season haha the show didn't even started ! Just know that what your feeling now will be mutlipied by 100000000000 trough the next episodes and seasons especially when you get to the finale

selma bougzir

Very awesome to see them familiarize themself with the characters so quickly. Most reactors have a hard time Season 1 remembering all the side characters names. You can tell they took the comments last week seriously, and are already well past where most people are at this point in the show, and should have little issue going forward now that they have a good baseline.

Kevin

Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays nayy

deja

Love you guys, love your reactions and your constant need to externalise your emotions. However, i feel like Jordan is right around the 36:00 minute mark. It's so frustrating when you stop right in the middle of the action and cut the rhythm, while you could wait until the end of the scene to give your impressions. Your pauses are really interesting and welcomed when reflexion is needed, and i think it is what makes your reactions so specially fascinating. But i personally feel that you should sometimes force yourselves to go through a scene all the way and maybe come back later for missed information. Can't wait to see episode 8!

Sarafian Victor

Also Eren is the one who gave Mikasa those words. "If I don't win, I'll die. If I win, I'll live. The only way to win is to fight."

Hippopi

My fave detail about this episode is Mikasa's eyes. When she's told about Eren's death, her eyes lose all light and emotion to them. They look completely dead. Then, when she remembers Eren's words and decides to fight and live again, her eyes are once again filled with light and life. The framing of her face when talking to Marco about the plan is also intentional - cutting a character's eyes out of frame or putting them into shadow is something done commonly in manga and anime. The idea behind this is "you are completely severing that emotional connection, and to some extent, you are giving the impression that they are emotionless". It's used to show either emotional distance, coldness, or hiding one's emotions.

Hippopi

Hahahahaha leave it to the twins to spend 5 minutes analyzing what a black box is 😂 One of the reasons you are my favorite AOT reactioneers!

Anton

If you are considering AoT possibly being better than Breaking Bad now, when you will finish this series, you might actually consider it one of the best pieces of media ever made.

KariaP

I found that while i watched AOT is that peace can never be achieved without vengeance…the more you strive for peace is the more hated you become

St Patrick Brown

At the end of the episode after Armin gave his gas and blades to Mikasa, he asked to keep that one blade with him because he was planning on Mikasa and Conny leaving him behind in order to go save the others, so he wanted the blade in order to kill himself before he could be eaten alive. Mikasa threw the blade off the building so he couldn't do that and that's why she said that she wasn't going to leave him behind.

DeadlyDarkDragon

Dr. Jaeger is a doctor not a lecturer/teacher so he’s definitely not the one teaching Eren and others about titans in the flashback. You two have the most entertaining reactions to AoT I’ve ever seen LOL. Thank you for the triple uploads🙏🏻

Mel

i think yall should release like 2-3 episode throughout the week.. i know u guys have a schedule with other animes…but that would be cool. i like how yall are dropping 2-3 on friday. cuz some episode are better when they are back to back to understand what’s going on better. buttt yeah whatever works with ur guys schedule is fine :)

Carmen Villanueva

I think two episodes two times a week would be a good pace for you guys and it would help our anxiety of not having to wait an entire week as well to see LOL

Katsuki BakuGOAT

To answer your question Armin is the one who's narrating

Katsuki BakuGOAT

Omg I’m still on episode 5!! So glad they decided to just drop them today!!
