Thematic Discussion on 'Attack on Titan'
00:02:09
Speaker
I mean, you guys, you and Andrew did a phenomenal job covering the first half of season one last week, but yeah, the production quality, including the music, cannot be overstated. It is just such an incredible show and it just really gets your blood pumping and gets you so incredibly invested. It's such a unique show and I'm super excited to be able to chat about it this week.
00:02:33
Speaker
Yes, speaking of Andrew, we're going to mention a couple of things before our blood gets pumping a little too much in anticipation of talking about this. So we were talking about like what we would do if we were cadets and had to pick. He finally picked the Garrison squad. Thankfully, he made it. He made it through. And he got in the right on time as
00:02:54
Speaker
The Battle of Truss concluded. So while we move above the wall to talk about the continuing story, he's going to be behind cleaning up all the Titan vomit. But he did have a message on his behalf before he went up for cleanup duty. He was actually a guest host on source pages, a reading collective to talk about Batman, the long Halloween anticipation of the Batman arriving in theaters this week. So if you have a moment, please check out our partner podcast.
00:03:24
Speaker
Check out our partner podcast hosted by BVK and Haley Hobbs. It was a good episode. The bit of it I've listened to it so far and we're really excited for Batman and I'm sure he is as well. Yep. He is a Batman fan to the extreme. So I'm sure I haven't listened to the episode yet, but I know how passionate he is and how well-spoken he is. So it's definitely an episode not to miss if you were excited for Matt Reeves, the Batman.
00:03:50
Speaker
He's just as giddy on that as he is with us. Yes. His excitement never wavers. This has been an exciting show. Like I said on the last episode, I've watched it more times than I can count for season one, and it continues to blow my mind every time. Jitch Gotti, what are your quick thoughts on everything before we move on to part two?
00:04:15
Speaker
Yeah, it's like I kind of said at the top, it is really just an incredible show from the setting. It's such a unique setting with, you know, most enemies kind of taking place more in the Eastern side of the world. There's, I shouldn't say most, some of my favorite ones kind of have this fascination with Western culture as well, but just the time period, like it's just such a fantastical world in the concept, like seeing these giant naked
00:04:41
Speaker
Missing genitalia, ugly as hell, human beings, like chopping down on people is one of the goofiest, but most terrifying things I have ever seen. And man, it's almost tough to stop watching. Like other animes, I'm able to watch like two or three and I'm like, okay, I need to do other things right now. But this one I can just go, you know, five, six episodes and I still want more. I am like a ravenous titan myself just wanting to gobble down all the episodes.
00:05:11
Speaker
and give me all the content. Yeah. One thing I do want to bring up that I was a little surprised that you guys didn't bring up on your coverage last week was some of the characters, you know, our main trio are Mikasa, Eren, and Armin, but it's kind of
Character Analysis and Development
00:05:29
Speaker
interesting. I obviously love Mikasa. She's so capable and such a badass that how can you not love her? But what's weird is I find myself not really gravitating to the main character of Eren
00:05:40
Speaker
I think I kind of find him like a lot of the characters in the show do and he himself sometimes admits he's a little bratty and a little rash. It's kind of funny. I think my favorite character at this point in the show is actually kind of his rival, Jean. Yeah. Yeah. Which is, I don't, I mean, I like the prickly characters a lot of the time, but normally I don't like the
00:06:02
Speaker
characters that are directly set up to I guess go against the protagonist. Like I'm thinking in My Hero Academia Bakugo, I know a lot of people love Bakugo, but he's not necessarily one of my favorites. He's just a little too prickly, but I love Jean and I love how
00:06:18
Speaker
He seems the most relatable in this fantastical world. It's like he is willing to admit that, hey, I'm scared and I want to do what I can to prolong my longevity as much as possible. And that's joining the military police. Of course, he comes around in the end.
00:06:33
Speaker
Yeah, I can't say that I really even thought about that last time. And as you were explaining this, Bakugo came to my mind too, but he's actually one of my favorite characters, arguably my favorite character in that show because of the character development that happened between him and how much you get to see like how much pain he's actually going through on the inside. And I think that's where the fascination of Jean actually comes in is he's the only one where we've seen a significant amount of
00:07:02
Speaker
character development in such a short time. We're talking half a season because everything within our main trio of Mikasa, Armin, and Eren, every flashback that they've shown shows that they haven't really changed at all. One's always been the smart one, one's always been the protective one, one's always been the rash one. Jean seems to be the only character in this bunch of all the cadets that we've seen that actually had a transition of
00:07:26
Speaker
I'm a douche to I'm super talented, but I'm still going to do the military police to oh my God, why am I joining you guys on the scouts? I mean, I'm glad you brought that up. I don't think I really ever gave it that much thought before, but he really is the only one that we've seen so much progression with.
00:07:42
Speaker
Yeah, those are all excellent points. And one of the reasons I gravitate to him so much, I'd be remiss if I did bring up Sasha. I absolutely love Sasha and the comic relief she brings as well. She's so hungry. I'd hate to see her as a Titan because she might wipe out everybody.
00:08:00
Speaker
Oh, especially with that appetite. Exactly. Yeah. She will. She would scale that wall. No problem. I could see her just like pressing her jaw against the ground and just like driving through the roads, eating everybody that came into sight. Totally. Totally. Good thing she's on our side. Especially when she went for the officers, me just. Yeah. I love her so much. Oh, she's great. She's great.
00:08:29
Speaker
Alright, anything else about part one before we get to the next level of Devastation?
00:08:34
Speaker
No, I don't think so. I'm excited to get into the second half of the season where, for my purposes, as much as the Battle of Trost really upped the ante for the series, it was one thing to see them going through training and be exposed to the fall of, help me with the city, Shingan Shima. Shingan Shima. Shingan Shima. Shingan Shima. Yeah. I mean, that was just such an incredible way to introduce us to the violence and the sheer terror of the Titans.
00:09:04
Speaker
For my purposes, this is where the show really picked up and like started to have this rhythm where I just I couldn't stop watching With a lot of the developments we got in the intrigue and the mystery surrounding, you know certain Titans and certain characters Yeah, I was actually I was surprised on this rewatch because despite the fact I've seen it so many times it still has it's been a few years and with how Short that training sequence was yeah
00:09:33
Speaker
Because it really was a lot of just the action. They really got down and gritty with making sure that the stuff that we wanted to see was really fleshed out. Yeah. No pun intended. Yeah. They fast forward, what, four or five years through the training? I don't even think it was that.
00:09:57
Speaker
I think it was four years until they started their training. And it was five years between attacks total. That's what it was. Okay. Okay. That makes sense.
Key Plot Twists and Battles
00:10:10
Speaker
So yeah. The first main arc of this story was within the walls because the Titans ended up attacking again.
00:10:20
Speaker
And then we get a level of trials to understand what to do with Aaron because, as I mentioned, like this government in this military really has no structure, like nobody listens to each other, everybody freaks out before they do anything else. There's hardly any discipline and the the desire to kill Aaron before doing anything else is like,
00:10:43
Speaker
incredible. It's amazing how seamlessly they're just like, just execute him. He's not on our side. He's clearly against us. It echoes the real world. If we don't understand someone or something, our first instinct is to kill it, unfortunately. The sad truth. Yeah, definitely. How was that trial for you and everything that partook and just
00:11:13
Speaker
breaking down because it went from traumatic stuff to having to see the breakdown. We're looking at all of our characters react to what they just witnessed for the first time and realizing what their path is going to be from here on out.
00:11:29
Speaker
Yeah, I think it was a really good introduction. We had seen Commander, or is it Captain Levi? Commander Levi. Captain Levi. Captain Levi, excuse me. Captain Levi, Commander Ervin. Okay. Yeah, so we had seen him previously in a really bombastic action sequence, but this was really the first chance we got to be showcased what links
00:11:54
Speaker
Levi is willing to go to and how strong his resolve is. And as much as Aaron is one of those characters that I kind of think deserve to be smacked down a little bit and taught a lesson, that beat down was absolutely brutal. I was kind of right there with Mikasa just wanting to kind of like rush in and save him because wow, that was tough to watch. And it is one of the great aspects of the show as much as you know, it is entertaining to watch these like
00:12:20
Speaker
people flying around with this fantastical gear that is the ODM gear and the twin blades and taking on just these giant titans. A lot of like the inner politics and why the military has formed the way it has and what life inside these walls is like is really telling and the world building is just fantastic. So I really enjoyed it. I didn't feel like it slowed the momentum down at all really. I was riveted with all the development.
00:12:48
Speaker
And then, you know, just seeing that there are all the different factions that exist, even though humanity is supposed to be united against these Titans, there are so many factions within humanity. And, you know, you've got you've got Commander Ervin and Levi, who are kind of willing to go against
00:13:08
Speaker
the tide and the naysayers for Aaron and actually take a gamble on him to see if this could be the thing that really changes the tide for humanity. And then, of course, Prefect Zachary comes in and really helps seal the deal there. And then, I think this is when we first started to get... Oh, no, we'd been introduced to Pixis already, right?
00:13:30
Speaker
Yeah, he was the one who was leading everything during the attack. Yeah, he's really likable as well. I like how he's kind of the old tried and true officer with a drinking habit, but still is one of the best tacticians out there.
00:13:50
Speaker
It's kind of like, you know, he puts down the bottle while someone's questioning him and he's like, you don't know the things I seen Just ready for like some form of dialogue with him just snapping because he's just so collected that it's like right. I want that moment Yeah, yeah, definitely the way that he takes command and everything is so cool. Mm-hmm He's definitely got a he's got an interesting swagger to him
00:14:12
Speaker
Yeah. And I really liked that conversation between he and Ervin on the wall top where it's like, we actually should not be speaking, but if we just happen to walk across each other, we're not doing anything wrong. It's like- He knows all the loopholes. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. I love his swagger so much. So the verdict has been made for all these cadets that they want to be scouts except for
00:14:42
Speaker
our little troublemaker, Annie, who decides to not only be in the military police, but just cause hell for everybody beyond the wall. There's no point in talking about this like we don't know. This was a huge reveal in the show. It was just utter chaos, but while
00:15:03
Speaker
the scouts decided to go on a mission, which was with the cover of going to Shiganshima to find out what Aaron's key is, what his father's secrets are laid in the basement. There's a lot of uncertainty. And they go on this mission, which turns out
00:15:21
Speaker
gets ambushed by this Titan, but Commander Ervin knew that and had hit it from everybody else. They all thought that they were doing something else. A lot of lives were caused, you know, for the sake of this mission. And it turns out that one of our cadets, Annie, also has the ability to transform into a Titan like Aaron did. How did you feel about that whole sequence and the reveal and the buildup in the forest and just all of it? Like there's no, like,
00:15:46
Speaker
Just like last week, there's no way to just like structure this. It's just like, it's batshit crazy that we just have to go through and just talk about all these highlights and what was wow and what was pissing you off and just how great the storytelling is. No, yeah, exactly. And it's full transparency here. This was a rewatch for me. So I was trying to, as I was going through my rewatch, kind of remember where my headspace was on my first watch. And I think the reveal of Annie is kind of one of the
00:16:14
Speaker
I don't know, once you see the female Titan and you know, it's kind of one of the most obvious things, I think. But just the way everything is set up is amazing. And, you know, you're talking about Ervin knowing that they go on this expedition and they're going to get attacked makes me think about when, you know, we haven't talked about Han, Han-Jae at all. Han-ge, right? Zoe Han-ge. Let's just call her Zoe because I forget her.
00:16:40
Speaker
Okay. She's one of my favorite characters as well. I love her just absolute ridiculous zeal for all things Titan and how everyone else is getting grossed out and freaked out about how close she's getting to these Titans. But she had the two, Sony and Bean, that she had in captivity and was experimenting on and testing their vitality when deprived of sunlight and whatnot. And someone kills those two Titans. And initially, we're all, even as the viewer, you think this is just a rogue soldier that
00:17:09
Speaker
just hates Titans and wants to see a Titan die, but Ervin whispered to Aaron. He said, who do you think the real enemy is? And that just, you know, that sets up this incredible mystery. And from there, you know, Levi takes direct command of Aaron. So he joins his squad and we get introduced to all of Levi squad. We get endeared to them, Petra, Gunther. I'm not going to remember all of their names.
00:17:34
Speaker
I'm glad you remembered that much because it's just one of those, like I said, it's like the walking dead effect. Just don't get attached to anybody. Don't remember anyone's names. And I fell in love with Petra. I loved her character so much because she showed just true emotion right off the bat. She's part of Levi's squad for a reason, so she's talented. And she definitely proved that in that battle against Andy, she's incredible.
00:17:59
Speaker
But like her conversation, the way that she talked to Aaron was more impactful than the other two, because they were like, quit being a whiny little and like do what you're told. But she was asking the questions like, do you not trust us? What do you really think of us? How do you really feel? I feel like the way that she communicated
00:18:19
Speaker
was what sparked Aaron to do what he did, which we still have that question of whether it was the right or wrong thing. But her level of communication sunk through to him because he's very emotional in his decisions and anything else. So she was the only one that got logic through to him. You know, she's like really attached to Levi. There's a lot of like fan art of them like as a couple and like what would have been
00:18:44
Speaker
uh had that moved on and I was like oh yeah I could see it I could totally see it um so yeah Petra's name is kind of the only name that's like worth remembering for me yeah uh I can understand that but her emotion too just she showed that she was afraid when she didn't even know what the plane was which Erin caught on to and then just like
00:19:05
Speaker
her her just her fear the whole squad sphere when they went out because we saw some real savages like these are professional titan killers we geeked when we saw Levi within the walls for the first time and seeing them like move with such precision and such lack of vocal communication like it was amazing it really was and then we're just never gonna see them again yeah they they spent time like endearing to do these characters even with like the flashbacks to seeing you know Erin get
00:19:36
Speaker
further accepted into Levi's squad. And like you said, at the end of the day, he had to make the decision. Is he with them? Does he trust them? And he makes that decision. I'm with you. I trust you. And that leads to all of them getting killed. And it's kind of funny. One of the ones that sticks with me the most is Gunther. He gets killed before Annie even goes back to her female Titan form. She is disguised in the scout gear using
00:20:04
Speaker
I don't think it's Marco's ODM gear. I think that's later on that we get the reveal that she used his ODM gear, but I can't remember when. I think she just happened to grab one of the corpses. Okay. Okay. But yeah, I got a lot of like battle of indoor vibes because we had seen the ODM gear being utilized in the city and that's really cool, but just having these massive trees and they have the green cloaks and whatnot. I definitely got Return of the Jedi vibes, but yeah, from Gunther to
00:20:31
Speaker
I can't remember the blonde guy with the wispy beard. Yeah. But yeah, Petra's was the most like devastating cause she just basically gets stomped into a tree trunk and we go back to her corpse multiple times just seeing her look up lifelessly. But then even, you know, the kind of, uh, cantankerous one that constantly bit his tongue. I think his name was like Uro or something like that. Like he actually had all the names now and yeah.
00:20:58
Speaker
They're difficult names. We have Levi, Eld, Petra. Eld. Okay. Petra, Ulo. Okay. And then Aaron. Okay. Yeah. I'm thinking of Ulo or Uro or whatever it was, but yeah, he was the guy that was always giving the Aaron the most difficult time. And he like, you know, bit his tongue multiple times on horseback, but even he has like the opportunity to be valiant at the end, but it's all for not like, he just gets completely wiped out and it is just absolutely devastating. Like.
00:21:28
Speaker
I lost my breath. I was gasping like, is this actually happening? And we had to look at their corpses like what, four times? At least. When they got killed, when Aaron looked back, when Levi found them, when they were kicked off of the horse carts at the end. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:21:47
Speaker
by none other than Levi himself. He made that call. Yeah. Oh, what was his words? Like consider this their last, their last act of service. Oh my God. That got me hard. Yeah. It's tough. It's so tough. And I have to say, I have to add that the dub to this is really good.
00:22:07
Speaker
There are a couple hiccups here and there. I'm glad that Armin didn't go full as any to. Right. Like we talked about, he's not a screamy character after he, you know, finishes cadet stuff. Mikasa like plays it kind of chill and then like amps it up when she needs to and when she does, it really pays off. My only con, my only con is Titan Aran's roar because it is. It sounds amazing.
00:22:37
Speaker
on the original. When you listen to a Japanese, it sounds like a menacing roar, but it sounds like a cat getting run over in the side.
Voice Acting and Adaptation
00:23:07
Speaker
Dainani!
00:23:37
Speaker
What's that?
00:24:34
Speaker
I will witness to the manifestation of humanity's rage. I'm going to have to go back and listen to the sub to make my comparison for the screams there.
00:24:52
Speaker
Yeah, I think all the voice acting is phenomenal across the board. Aaron, as much as he kind of grinds my gears sometimes with his angst, it's an appropriate level of hardheadedness and
00:25:07
Speaker
yeah everyone sounds unique i never you know if we're if we have a character like facing we're looking at their back or something like that and they're speaking there's never any confusion about who's speaking and i talked about you know zoe a little bit but she does such an incredible job just towing that line between like genius and manic yeah yeah her split personality like really comes in depending on like which character we're getting
00:25:32
Speaker
Yeah, and then even like Annie with her like kind of like deadpan detached delivery. I still like found myself feeling for her a little bit even in like Titan form when like Levi and Mikasa are completely slicing and dicing like to where she can't even raise her shoulders anymore.
00:25:50
Speaker
But she's also very frustrating to watch because it's like she's always covering up her nape. She can harden her skin. And she's just such a proficient hand to hand combat and it's like nobody stands a chance against her. Oh, it makes me think of when she had that one scout that she was swinging around like a yo yo. Oh my goodness.
00:26:10
Speaker
Flung it straight off. Man, that one got me. Annie's just a savage. I can only imagine that if this was a video game, that'd be the one boss that would make you throw the controller into the TV. Oh, without a doubt. Could you imagine a whole mission of Annie running and you being Mikasa trying to go between the trees and getting those cuts in? It would just be one of those sequences where there's no point in fighting this thing. You're just trying to get away. It would be the scrolling one where she's running behind you and you're just trying to avoid obstacles in front of you. Yeah.
00:26:39
Speaker
Because you can't find it. Yeah, it's very crash bandicoot. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. But man, Levi and Mikasa are better than the whole garrison unit.
00:26:53
Speaker
Yeah, that was incredible. Like we talked about in the last episode how it was amazing how as a cadet she was one of the elites like they had her on the front lines and her I'm sure she's lost track of her Titan kill count by now and for her to just be so Instinctive and go in for those heavy hits and Levi just be like, well, you know what you're doing. So this is the plan of course
00:27:17
Speaker
Mikasa's cadetness kind of showed because she was trying to go straight for the kill despite her orders being not to do so and Levi got hurt because of it. It's like, oh, man, you don't want your you don't want your main guy down like that.
00:27:32
Speaker
Oh, when he like twisted his ankle because of her, I was so upset. I was like, no, do not let anything bad happen to the most proficient fighter in the squad. That's my hero. Yeah, exactly. You know, I'm just kind of like thinking of it right now. I don't know how familiar, you know, um, full metal alchemist pretty well. He kind of reminds me of Roy Mustang a little bit.
00:27:56
Speaker
yeah yeah yeah he's got that that calm demeanor but like when he goes off he goes off exactly exactly yeah this is totally a side thing but there was like there was a voice recently that I heard that was the same English voice actors
00:28:15
Speaker
Oh, no, I'm getting I'm getting wrath and Roy mixed up. But yes, Roy is actually a much better comparison of when I was thinking of wrath. Okay. Yeah, Roy and Roy and Levi, definitely same demeanor, same swagger. And I just want to see Levi snap now. It could happen. It could like he like he dropped his sheets his blade and like snaps on the way up like, Oh, that'd be cool.
00:28:39
Speaker
Yeah. One of the things they have in common that I don't know if Mikasa just learned by watching him, but they have this habit of like going into like a vertical spin where they have like both swords drawn and like they can basically slice through anything. And at one point she does completely mimic his actions when she like embeds her sword into Annie's forearm and kind of like drags it all the way along the forearm. So cool. So she's a quick learner. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
00:29:07
Speaker
And I'm trying to think, you know, what's these, I don't want to, you know, take control of the conversation here, but I'm just thinking about Annie and like her motivations. Like we leave the season off with like a total cliffhanger as far as she goes, but we got like a couple of snippets to, I guess her like childhood. And we saw that her father was kind of instructing her and her father had high hopes for her influence and her ability.
00:29:34
Speaker
Yeah. Um, everything's just a mystery from there. Cause what little we already understand about Titans is being overturned episode by episode. So not only one, but we have two humans that could turn into Titans. One clearly knew that she could, the other one didn't. Uh, and that each one has their own special ability as well. Right. So it's just the, do they call them the, the abnormals?
00:30:04
Speaker
Oh yeah. The abnormal Titans are the ones that like don't pay attention to humans. They just go kind of buck wild. Yeah. And they compare it to like the colossal Titan and the armor Titan. So it's like, who knows how many are out there and what's going on and just everything between that. They, they've really just kept Annie a mystery.
00:30:24
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. It's interesting how she picks and chooses. At a certain point, she just starts killing everyone, but before that, especially when she was running in the field, she didn't want to kill Armin unnecessarily. She went out of the way to pick up his hood and Armin uses that information. She's like, hey, keep your face covered if she doesn't know who you are.
00:30:46
Speaker
she's not going to kill you unnecessarily. And that's kind of what leads him to knowing that it's her and they set up the whole great kind of sting operation in, I can't remember the name of the city, but the city that they're going through in Wall Rose, I believe it is.
00:31:02
Speaker
No, it's all, uh, Cena. Yeah. Well, okay. So yeah, he approaches her and asks for her help. And basically they have the conversation about whether or not she's a good person. And at that point in time, she's, you know, willing to try to be a good person for Armin, but that's pretty short lived. So I remember that when I initially watched this,
00:31:28
Speaker
I had no idea that it was Annie. I was just so locked into the fact that there was another threat that they had to deal with. That didn't click to me until they went to the flashback and that whole basement sequence happened. Did you catch onto it? Because there was a lot of hints and they did go to the flashbacks.
00:31:46
Speaker
Because explaining that it actually looks like her like it has yeah as it has the same hair and then like her her Muay Thai stance that she Displayed during the cadet training is something that she does as a Titan as well Did you catch on that? Do you recall catching on to that as you were watching or have suspicion or we're like kind of costing it or did it go over your head like it did for me and
00:32:11
Speaker
That's one of the things I'm trying to recall where my headspace was when I watched it back in 2013. And I want to say, as obvious as it is in retrospect in terms of her really looking just like herself in Titan form with the sullen eyes and hairstyle and whatnot, I don't think I caught on very quickly when I did my initial watch. I think exactly what you're saying. You're paying attention to so many other things.
00:32:38
Speaker
Annie really seemed like kind of a background character. I mean, you had a couple of interactions with her here and there, but there are so many characters. We haven't even talked about Connie Springer or the couple of military police that we can introduce to alongside Annie.
00:32:57
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think that I... Yeah, yeah. But that just goes to show that she does have this like begrudging respect for Aaron because she's like, I know somebody just as foolish as you, somebody that, you know, wants to rage against the machine, wants to rage against the Titan, if you will. And for better or for worse, whether or not it's going to get them killed, they're willing to do that. And she's like, you remind me of them. Yeah, answering your question.
00:33:24
Speaker
On a rewatch, it was much more. I mean, I obviously knew what was going to happen. I could recollect that, but I do think it's a pretty well done mystery, especially for a first time viewer. It's obvious, but it's right under your nose, but you don't really know to look for that. You're so consumed with the other ongoings and all the death around. Yeah, it's definitely a lot to
00:33:51
Speaker
Lots of prioritized, like there's so much going on. How does that even cross your mind? Because I've had some people, I was like, yeah, it was kind of obvious. I'm like, really?
Speculations and Theories
00:34:00
Speaker
But I'm also the type that I just get so like laser focused that I think I like I turn off my ability to kind of like.
00:34:11
Speaker
to deduct things like that. And if something really stands out, then it's probably poorly written if I could figure it out quick. Because I don't think I could try to think like that pretty quick. And this was far from poorly written.
00:34:27
Speaker
Well, and I think one of the other mysteries that kind of preoccupied me is thinking about how did Aaron come to inherit this power and what role does his father play? And then even when you do get the reveal with Annie, you're like, did Aaron's father have a Grisha, Dr. Grisha Yeager? Did he have some part in Annie's transformation as well? Is this something that he specialized in? When are we going to get to this basement? When are we going to get these answers?
00:34:53
Speaker
That's very much at the forefront of your mind. So not in season one. I'll tell you that. Nope, not in season one. I'm really happy that that last battle happened the way that it did, too, because the level of snootiness and ignorance of the inner wall is just ridiculous. Oh, like the king is a coward. It's all like the richest of the rich in there.
00:35:19
Speaker
the military police don't do anything to the point where it's like one of the one of the squad captains was like drinking and then the one dude who like spoke up and had a purpose of like why he was doing his thing it was like fun you take control then and all they had to do was like you know escort who they thought was erin but it was really jon in a wig yep he's not happy about having to you know
00:35:45
Speaker
pretend to be Aaron and Aaron's like, how, how do they pick him to like dress up as me? He has a horse face. Like how stupid are they that they can't tell the difference between the two of us and the, they show how stupid the military police actually are. Like there's Titans attacking the inner wall. There's two of them beating the living daylights out of each other and they're focused on commander urban and wanting to like execute him on site. Like do you not recognize the problem at hand right now?
00:36:12
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Again, the real world parallels sometimes incompetence and privilege caused people to fail upwards. And that's very much the case with the military police. Yeah. I'm glad that a lot of them just got decimated and just didn't know what to do. And the scouts came in like the amazing heroes that they are just like zooming past them. It's like, you guys just going to sit over there like not going to handle anything right now. Right. Yeah.
00:36:43
Speaker
went on full attack. It was cool. That was a really cool fight. Aaron doesn't have too much because he's so emotionally driven. But man, they stay true to actual martial arts so much. And the fact that Annie is so Muay Thai driven and
00:37:04
Speaker
The mechanics of everything, one of your favorite things was the kick to the jaw. Oh, yes. It happened to Forrest. And one of the things is with a kick, you're supposed to follow through and let momentum. If you're stopping yourself, you're not putting power in, right? So the fact that it actually put that motion, set up
00:37:23
Speaker
set up the stance and the form and the fact that it went through his face but her body like kept moving and she had to like restructure herself I was like that is an amazing attention to detail because there's a lot of little things that go into a kick and the fact that they highlighted each one of those things was like
00:37:43
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. You can speak to that a little bit more than I can being, you know, having a background in martial arts, but it's just, it's something we've said about other shows, but it stands here as well.
World-building and Real-world Parallels
00:37:54
Speaker
The attention to detail, even though this world is like larger than life and very fantastical and the things you're seeing on screen are things that you could really never see translated to live action. I haven't seen the live action movies, but from what I hear, they don't do the series much justice. I turned it off for the first 10 minutes.
00:38:11
Speaker
Oh, goodness. Okay. Good to know. Good to know. Can I say why? It's kind of spoilery, but I really want to say why. Yeah, go for it. In the opening, when Shiganshima gets invaded by Titans, it's not Eren's mom that gets eaten. It's Mikasa. Oh, no.
00:38:29
Speaker
And I was so mad, I turned it off right there and didn't care about the rest of the movie after that. OK. And I started watching it like on a plane. So I was like, I was just mad. I think I had like three hours left on the flight and I put on some sitcom or something. I was just watching that in that level of detail, that that gut wrenching manner of watching Mikasa get chomped in half. I was like, mother. Yeah, I was. I was living the rest of that flight.
00:38:59
Speaker
Did they not to get off on too much of a tangent here, but do they do they make the Smiling Titan as terrifying as it is in animated form? Okay, because that is one of the most unsettling things I have ever seen on screen that Smiling Titan. This show makes me understand people's fear of clowns a lot more.
00:39:18
Speaker
I have a little bit of a fear of clowns. It's not as strong as it was when I was a kid. But yeah, there's something unnatural about a permanent grin. And yeah, clowns are creepy. They are. This world ain't a happy place, kids. Ain't nobody smiling like that all the time. Yeah. I did watch the 90s TV adaptation for Stephen King's It when I was way too young. So that may be a factor as well.
00:39:48
Speaker
Tim Curry, the nightmare fuel. I watched the mummy when I was too young and that's what messed up jump scares for me. Oh, okay. But it was, uh, my cousin wouldn't take me to see Pokemon unless I went and saw the mummy with him. So I had to do what needed to be done. And it was literally my eyes and ears covered the whole time. Oh, poor little zoo. Yeah, it's terrifying. Oh, she's mad. That's scary.
00:40:16
Speaker
Well, hopefully you can watch Moon Knight when that comes out later and not be too traumatized. Okay, good. Yeah. This was a loaded half of the season. I mean, we easily could have made this three parts and just talk about the forest in one and Annie in another, but anything else you want to add on just like this tangent of batshit crazy stuff going on?
00:40:44
Speaker
Um, you know, I've been, I've talked a lot about how Aaron is, is such a headstrong character and he's so emotional, but I think it's while I don't gravitate to him so much, it's what makes the show work so well when you have, you know, an emotional character like that, it makes the characters that are in the decision making rules. It makes you understand why they're a little more detached. Like I'm thinking of Levi and I'm thinking of Irvin as well. Like as much as he is, he has kind of a.
00:41:16
Speaker
engendering personality, he's able to win people to his cause. He has this almost mysterious element to him as well. And you kind of question what his motivations are too. So I don't know if you want to talk about Irvin in further detail and you know, some of the gambles that he's willing to take and just the fact that he puts so many lives at stake and just to reveal this traitor amongst the ranks.
00:41:43
Speaker
I really think he is just tired of losing. He's tired of coming back with like nothing to show for the lives cost. I mean, even Petra's father coming up to Levi.
00:42:00
Speaker
That was hard. That was really hard to watch. Levi trying to keep his composure, which he's very good at, but talking about how worried he is for his daughter and she just needs to get married and do this and do that, soon after he just kicked her body off of the cart. He couldn't even bring it home to show him. He couldn't even do a proper burial or anything.
00:42:24
Speaker
They're tired of losing, man. And when they had their trap and shot like all those like spears and grooves through any like they thought they had a win. They thought they learned something. And granted, in a way, it was a win in the sense that they understood so much about Titans that they didn't before. True. Forgive for forgiving the section commander's name.
00:42:50
Speaker
What is Zoe? Zoe Hanji? Yeah. She learned so much. They got so much out of that. They understood Aaron a lot better out of it. And while it was a key piece in moving forward,
00:43:07
Speaker
They couldn't explain that to the people because the people were still ready to have Aaron's head. And Pikes has has this moment of like, this is going to be the first win that humanities had. So they wanted to ride that high. True. They really just wanted to do right by the people. They really wanted to have a win and show that they knew what they were doing. And they weren't a joke and this and that. And for them to have to come back after progressing so much and still not be able to explain it to anybody was just like, it was just a kick to the balls to them. And
00:43:37
Speaker
all Commander Ervin wants to do is succeed. We haven't seen him have a breakdown at any point, but you can only imagine how much he's holding in.
Leadership and Character Growth
00:43:50
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I know Pixis in particular said he doesn't care if the history books refer to him as a butcher if they get that victory that day. I have to imagine that Ervin has some of the same guilt riding on his shoulders.
00:44:05
Speaker
I mean, even Levi, Levi is one of the most least emotional characters on the show, but he lost his entire squad and those were people that put all their faith in him. Yeah. So I'm curious to see, you know, in season two, how those things unfold. Hopefully Aaron is able to
00:44:24
Speaker
master his Titan abilities and his technique a little bit. We saw a lot this back half of the season of him not being able to transform as on command as he initially seemed to be. So he still has a lot to learn.
00:44:41
Speaker
I'm hopeful that, uh, you know, Armin will continue to like kind of step up as well. He definitely seems like he's a brilliant tactician. So maybe who will become a confidant of some of these leaders and instead of being put into the action where he's not as proficient, they'll use him the proper way as a tactician. Yeah, his brain and Mikasa's talents definitely are well beyond their years.
00:45:09
Speaker
Definitely. When you've got a friend like Aaron, they kind of have to be. Yeah. They bounce each other out in a lot of different ways.
00:45:23
Speaker
is a philosophy that I've learned like through martial arts that I've been kind of like living my life by now. And it's that you can't be ready without having three components, awareness, preparedness and willingness. And all of those are different parts of life. So the awareness is
00:45:45
Speaker
mental preparedness is physical, willingness is spiritual. And these three main characters now that I'm thinking about it really embody those. Aaron's got the spirit because his voice definitely says all that. Sure. Mikasa has got the physical ability and
00:46:03
Speaker
and competence to handle herself. And Armin has the brains of the operation. So it's like, when they come together, they truly are like the readiness of actually making these missions happen. If you lack, like in life, if you lack one of those things, you're not fully ready to handle something. And I feel like that's why their dynamic is so strong because
00:46:23
Speaker
They have very clear weaknesses, but they have very clear strengths. And they don't do anything to these characters to make them like magically have all three by themselves. They focus on their ability to connect with each other to actually like succeed.
00:46:39
Speaker
Yeah, totally. I think you hit the nail on the head, like breaking it down to those three pillars of life. They definitely encapsulate all of those things. And that is what makes them such a great trio. But I couldn't help but kind of think about some of the other characters that we spend time with and try to fit them into those boxes as well. Obviously, I said how much I like Jean. He seems to have the... He's obviously not as brilliant as Armin or as physically capable
00:47:09
Speaker
as Mikasa or have the same amount of spirit as Aaron, but he has a little bit of all three and it makes him fairly competent. Then I think of somebody like Reiner, we haven't really talked about him, but he's got more of the physical capability and he actually had a moment that's worth bringing up when Annie was tearing through the field and actually it looked like she crushed him for all intents and purposes in her hand. She's about to pop his head with a film. Yeah, and then he does the double sword spin out and
00:47:37
Speaker
I don't know how the hell he survived that, but he's a tough dude. And then even Armin had his moment of like, I forget, he was one of the upper 10. Like, yeah, it makes sense that he actually had the ability to go through. I mean, like what you described is kind of like if you're customizing like a character in a game. So Jean is like balanced on all three while Aaron's like maxed out on spirit because he's maxed out on physical and Armin on mental. For sure.
00:48:07
Speaker
Yeah. Uh, Reiner Reiner. It's Reiner in the dub, but it's kind of funny. A lot of times it sounds like they're saying like Reiner, like they don't pronounce like the final R it's like Reiner. So.
00:48:20
Speaker
Yeah, I've I've listened to a lot of Japanese names in my anime watching, but learning all the German ones have been fun. But I just have a fascination with like languages and especially accents. So I need to make more of an effort to learn the German stuff and be able to break it down as confidently as I do the Japanese stuff, despite having no experience with that language whatsoever.
00:48:45
Speaker
It just goes to show what an interesting cross-section this show is. It's very much a Japanese anime.
00:48:51
Speaker
But it's obviously very fascinated with this old Germanic medieval countryside with technology ahead of its time. So you got a little bit of a steampunk element there as well. Yeah. It's really cool. I'm enjoying it. Totally. If we could make ODM gear work in real life, I think you guys brought it up on your previous coverage, but there's no way that could function in real life. You would just go splat against the wall in no time.
00:49:16
Speaker
Yeah, the co-host Andrew brought up his engineering background like how okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Reactions and Community Engagement
00:49:27
Speaker
I think the last big reveal that we had was one that blew me away the first time I saw it and it was a mid credit scene of the wall collapsing and you seeing the face of a Titan behind the wall. I freaked out.
00:49:44
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know what the hell is going on there, but it is pretty terrifying to consider the last bastion against Titans for humanity very well may contain one or more Titans. So yeah, it looks like they're on the way out pretty soon. So like that happened and then I had to wait like two or three years for season two. Right, right.
00:50:07
Speaker
And that's kind of where I'm guilty. Like I said, I watched the first season when it was first available, and I was kind of so frustrated with the cliffhanger that I just kind of put it on the back burner. I was like, OK, I'm going to focus on other things. And I kind of fell out of anime for a while, but this podcast has definitely got me back in to so many of the great ones. It's kind of funny. I did my rewatch of Dragon Ball right before we started doing this podcast. But before then, I hadn't really watched all that many. My plan is succeeding.
00:50:38
Speaker
Indeed, indeed. Do we want to read a couple of emails that we got from Marfo listeners? Yeah, definitely. I think that's a good time to do that. What do we got? All right. So the first one is from Chrissy.
00:50:51
Speaker
Hey guys, it's Chrissy. I had sent in a feedback about Young Justice a month or so ago. I finally got Amazon Prime and Binge Invisible in a night. I loved it so much and I gotta say I love Gore, but at times, especially that last episode, it was a little much for me. But overall, I loved the show so so much and I can't wait for the next season.
00:51:08
Speaker
I just finished all of your feedback episodes for it and hearing speculations for the show knowing what happens, I gotta say y'all were on point most of the time. I love you guys so much and can't wait for your coverage of Attack on Titan. Woohoo! I am a season behind and will probably watch the final season along with you guys when you get there.
00:51:26
Speaker
I also got to make a suggestion on something to cover I know one of you had said when a show comes out and you aren't familiar with the fandom It's part of like arcane and League of Legends, but I have to say the legends of Vox Machina Machina Machina on Amazon Prime by Critical Role is my new comfort show
00:51:46
Speaker
has everything comedy, gore, action, and a tiny bit of romance. I highly suggest watching because it's just overall amazing show in my opinion and so far my number one animated show in 2022. Sorry for such a long email, but you guys are amazing and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on Attack on Titan and Young Justice once it's back. Stay whelmed, Chrissy.
00:52:06
Speaker
What a heartwarming email and you don't need to apologize for the length at all. And it's that encouraging and in such great feedback, you can go as long as you want to, Chrissy. That was a pleasure to listen to and to read and really glad you enjoyed Invincible. I'm trying to think about what some of our predictions were, but it kind of makes me think about how long we've been doing this podcast next month. By the end of the month, it'll be like a full year that we've been doing this podcast. And we started with Young Justice, but Invincible was kind of one of the biggest
00:52:34
Speaker
shows for us right out of the gate. So I've talked at length about how much that final episode impacted me. So I'm glad that you went back and listened to how much we love that show and that it could be a good companion piece for you. And yeah, definitely thanks for writing in. Continue to do so.
00:52:52
Speaker
Uh, Chrissy, as he said, you know, thank you so much for writing in. I started episode one of Arcane. I really loved it, but that is a show that demands my attention. So I will do it justice and like properly sit down and watch everything. Uh, once we're, once we're caught up with Attack on Titan, so I can, you know, talk to my co-host about it, but.
00:53:12
Speaker
Box box mocking as another one is popped up on my radar and i'm sure we'll get to it at some point but. I'm always down for great animation and like i said is important as the numbers are and you know how much we love the downloads and the listeners.
00:53:27
Speaker
And the Instagram following, like being able to talk to you guys is the highlight for me personally, knowing that there's like-minded people out there, you know, that I can talk to things I'm passionate about with anybody around the world. Like, thank you so much for writing in and please never hesitate to do so.
00:53:43
Speaker
Yeah. Chrissy, if you want to give us a piece of follow-up feedback, I'd be curious like what's your level of familiarity with critical role or D&D was prior to watching the show? Because yeah, I think that might be something that's beneficial when it comes time to cover the show. I know Andrew's mentioned that he has some experience with D&D, but
00:54:01
Speaker
Maybe we should pull in a guest that you know Has been following critical role for a while because I know they call their followers critters, which are nice pretty cool Yeah, yeah, that's all over my head, but I'd love to be enlightened on it for sure and Speaking of loving to hear from people. We got one from TJ Stafford as well. Whoo-whoo All right. So hey guys It's been a while haven't listened to your Demon Slayer season 2 coverage yet because I haven't watched the show yet
00:54:28
Speaker
Unlike a lot of anime fans, I have a hard time watching shows with the subs because I'm almost always multitasking when I watch stuff so I really need to be able to hear what's going on as well as see. The movie and train arc is now dubbed so I'm caught up on that and I will definitely go back and listen to your episodes once the dub eventually comes out.
00:54:46
Speaker
Now for the latest episode, I'm so happy you are starting Attack on Titan. I love this show so much and I'm thrilled you guys are starting it from the beginning. The struggle for Trost is one of my favorite arcs in the series because I love action scenes with the ODM gear. In my opinion, those scenes are among the best animated action scenes I've ever seen, watching Mikasa just wrecking Titan's jaw dropping.
00:55:09
Speaker
If I can offer a word of advice moving forward, I found that the plot of the show, as it progresses, can be, at times, hard to follow. The thing with Aaron's dad and the key is explored further and it can get a bit complex, so I'd recommend paying close attention and maybe watching out for any kind of flashback or history lesson multiple times to absorb everything.
00:55:27
Speaker
Fortunately, you guys are binging it faster because you forget a lot of important details if you have to wait between seasons. I binged the first two seasons, but starting on season three, I had to wait, and it makes it way more difficult to keep up. I'm happy to be able to listen to you guys again, and I will be able to tag along until you catch up to the English dub. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the next couple of seasons. PS, have your therapist on speed dial. I don't think it's much of a spoiler to say things aren't going to get any easier for our heroes moving forward. TJ Stafford.
00:55:57
Speaker
Good old TJ. Good old TJ. Good to hear from you again.
Animation and Artistry
00:56:01
Speaker
I will say, if you make the commitment to start watching Demon Slayer, you won't be distracted by any multitasking. Your eyes will be glued to the screen and you won't have a difficult time knowing what's going on. But I fully understand waiting for the dub.
00:56:14
Speaker
The other thing I want to highlight, he always gives such great feedback, but when he was talking about the action sequence with Mikasa and her ODM gear, it made me think of one of the things that we glossed over with this show that makes it really unique is the camera placement and a lot of the camera tracking you get during those high speed ODM sequences.
00:56:37
Speaker
It really puts you right there with like the person that you're following. And like, I think back in the first part of season one, when the, it was kind of our hero's first foray as, as cadets and Aaron kind of has that moment where he's charging forward at full speed and the one Titan jumps up and bites off his leg. Like that was so intense and so shocking. And like that Titan came out of nowhere. Like I felt like I was Aaron at that moment. So great call out.
00:57:07
Speaker
It's like, I'm sorry, is our main character about to die? Right. Are we not supposed to like him? Yeah.
00:57:18
Speaker
I mean, Andrew kind of said everything for me in his in his monologue about just kind of the way that the camera is moving everything with it. But it's I really am at a loss of words for just how incredible all those sequences are. Like we talk about Demon Slayer and those moments between like with Ren Goku, with Uzui, just how cinematic it is like you get.
00:57:42
Speaker
you truly get lost like everything else just goes out and you're just you're locked into like how things can move so fast but still be understood and just still look so beautiful despite having like heart-wrenching moments like it's insane and in hindsight like I'm glad that attack on titan takes so long between seasons it's the lack of communication that truly kills me
00:58:06
Speaker
Because it's like, here's your amazing season with the big cliffhanger and then gone for two, three years. And then before you know it, like the last season is out.
00:58:17
Speaker
So it's the lack of communication that killed me had they told me like, we want to get this camera work and this animation and this gut wrenching is down. So we're going to take some time and here's how things are going. I would have appreciated it so much more, but just leaving me in the dark like that is, is the only frustration about their timeline when it came to this kind of stuff.
00:58:37
Speaker
No, that's such a fair point. But when you did your little puff of smoke noise, it made me think much like the colossal Titan. He's there and gone. The show is there and gone in a flash with no indication when to expect him again. I love it. Maybe I've just been watching this show too much, so I'm just unconsciously making references. Could be. Could be. Are you a Titan? We would never know.
00:59:08
Speaker
I was going to say for our listeners, you just bit his thumb and no, no results yet, but he might not have the proper motivation. Yeah. Let me drop my spoon real quick. We'll find out. Uh, I did like that little moment between Levi squad when, um, they started to trust Aaron and they all bit their hand and they're like, damn, like if you did that that much to try to get it to work, like we believe that you're like, you're truly with us. For sure. It was like a, it was like a blood pack and then everyone died.
00:59:37
Speaker
Yeah Sad day Devastating day
00:59:45
Speaker
Cool. Let's wrap it up on that depressing note. Let's talk about Sasha again, just to make things a little more lighthearted. I could eat something. I've sent you a couple. Me and Andrew go back and forth on Instagram with like Sasha cosplayers. Oh, okay.
01:00:09
Speaker
My algorithm is literally just anime and football at this point. Like, that's all I see is scenes from Naruto, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, and then football stuff. Okay. And I've seen enough like, who's your favorite Attack on Titan girl?
01:00:29
Speaker
And the reason that I think I go towards Mikasa most out of them is because I am Sasha. Like she has good instincts. She is like competent, but like things go over her head. She's quite the goose. She's always hungry. Like right.
01:00:49
Speaker
Yeah, it's a great character design, but I think it's less attraction and more just relatability over anything when it comes to her. For sure, for sure. She's a goofball and I love her for it. The show needs to be a little bit lighthearted at some points in time and she's
01:01:09
Speaker
just so great at delivering that comic relief. It's so appropriate. It's always so appropriate too. It's not Armin having Zenditsu moments. This is a character design that we put from the start and her quirkiness is going to come in just as much as Section Commanders always does. I think the only character that we had anywhere close to delivering that kind of comic relief was
01:01:35
Speaker
Uro who when he was like biting his tongue, not once, but twice on the horse, but he, he was not long for this world. Yeah. Even though it's, it's worth mentioning. I can't remember what like the various kill counts were, but like they went through all the members of Levi's squad and you had like a couple that had tons and tons of kills. And then it was obvious that the other ones were more like assist. So it just goes to show how well they worked in like cohesion with each other. There were those that were like,
01:02:02
Speaker
doing what they were supposed to do, providing assistance so that the expert killers could go on and do their thing. And it was reflected in the statistics. All right. Gunther Schultz, seven solo kills, 40 kills in a team. Ergen, 14 solo kills, 32 kills in a team. Arua Basard, 39 solo kills, nine kills in a team. Okay. Petra Raw, 10 solo kills, 48 kills in a team. There you go.
01:02:33
Speaker
What's up?
01:02:37
Speaker
What's up? I'm going to put this on Instagram later because it's cracking me up. Okay. Aaron and his, he's like, he manifested his Titan hand and he's standing on top of the arm and the hand is just flipping off Levi. You guys know what I'm talking about. I saw this is hilarious. It's so well drawn.
