Attack on Titan - Episode 1 Rewatch

After finishing AOT we wanted to go back and rewatch the first episode after knowing everything we know now!

Comments

Not him

Angel Ramos

She said crushed as in she can’t get them out mainly🤦🏽‍♂️😂. But yes they could be broken to but if your lifted in the air obviously you can’t wiggle them especially with adrenaline kicking in from being eaten in a few secs lmao. Theirs no pressure on the legs when it’s air so yes if they got her out she would slow them down and wouldn’t be able to walk😂. Idk if you got confused or wha.

LillWalker

Omg yes please please rewatch all of aot and post the reactionsssss, not just ep 1. PLEASE DIHIWJDGIWJ

Lana Dalo

I think it's supposed to be future eren that same character model comes up in other episodes in the background

Jonathan Genuine Castillo

When she say "my leg were crushed by the rumble" and you saw her at the end moving them .. She just lie .. For Eren and Mikasa ..

Kuponk

Something I noticed while rewatching with you guys is when the titan eats Erin's mom, first it "humanely" kills her. All the other ones would have just shoved her in kicking and screaming. This is probably due to the influence Erin had at the time. Just another detail.

Garrik9Lives

Grisha has waited to show Eren the basement until Eren expressed interest himself in knowing what is beyond the walls. He did not want to repeat the same mistake with Zeke - to impose his own beliefs on his child.

Jag_227

The Wall cult religion is a psychological operation by the government to discourage tampering with the walls, so that the people will not discover the truth that Titans are within. The government - possessing the FT - knows the truth. That King Fritz took the remnants of the Eldian Empire to this island and entrapped them within the Wall. They are carrying out the will of the King - to keep humanity ignorant of their history so that they will not be tempted towards engaging in more conflict. The wall religion is a desperate attempt to keep that truth a secret and to keep humanity from escaping these walls. That is their idea of atonement for the sins of the Eldian Empire.

Jag_227

I remember reading a theory about Eren waking up disoriented by the tree... Eren made the decision to execute the Rumbling on humanity. But, no one can consciously bear the burden of witnessing that evil act. We have seen a few times in the series where a Titan shifter has transferred their consciousness to different parts of their body. That is an idea that never gets explored much near the end of the series. Since Eren has accessed the Founding Titan and arrived at the Coordinate - the point at which all Eldians are connected through time - he might be able to transfer his consciousness through time. He might have brought forth his child consciousness sitting at that tree from Ep 1 into the future to experience a dream (using the FT memory powers) to feel like a bird flying freely through the clouds (A scene we saw in movie special 1). He did this in order to override his present consciousness so that he did not have to witness the Rumbling. And he wakes up in Ep 1 crying because he subconsciously reacts to the feeling of the horror being committed, or to the fact that he just came from seeing Mikasa for the last time. This might be why Eren is destined to chase this feeling of freedom throughout his life - because he is drawn towards that feeling he felt in that "dream" of being free. It forms some kind of self-fulfilling cycle of fate. Thought it was an interesting idea

Jag_227

Rewatching it, you see so many things that have double meanings. Isayama is truly a once in a lifetime artistic genius.

Jag_227

The intro to the Scouts is showing the mission where Shadis's leadership leads to complete failure. Upon which he resigns and Erwin takes command.

Jag_227

erens mother is also the only person that a titan killed before eating it , cause normally the titans eat ppl alive.

Kevin Depoppe

I remember being here when you guys first watched AOT aww man this is gonna be lit history repeats itself

Rahyuu

that would be cool

defnotdai

Also strongly suggest a rewatch in the dub it holds up pretty well lol

Lu Bu

wait who? idk

Yoona Kim

At 16:40 in your reaction, LOOK AT THE SECOND PERSON TO THE RIGHT AT THE FRONT OF THE CROWD.

Jinha

I like anime they did a very great job like I cann't imagine how the ODM gear work LOL and when they transform into Titan. plus the VA, sound, OST. made anime wayy better and build up the emotional of the show very well. BUT- you guys should check out manga in Chapter 1 there is a scene before Eren wake up and also conversation with Mikasa was a bit cut out, if it's in the anime it will be more deeper when we come back and rewatch.

Mmee

If you rewatched, would you entertain rewatching it in dubbed?

Jimmy

I mean, don't forget eren and zeke was there too when grisha showed eren the key of basement... get me chills when u think that way. And please go on rewatch with us, we need that, and maybe 10 eps a week is not a bad idea LMAO

Renzhong Zhu

Lmaoo omg finally someone else said it. The dub was not a good experience for me.....it feels like a diff show to me....the sub just fits like a glove for each character

C Nichole

It's crazy how it all interweave. Like Erans mom got ate by Dina Fritz his dad's first baby momma. I wouldn't mind watching it again with yall but like 1 or 2 episodes a week. Yall already got a lot going on.

john Alexander

holy shit... it literally becomes a different show after knowing what Erin knows since the beginning. didn't think I'd cry either Michelle :'( that was crazy.. bc he was the one that sacrificed her at that time to save Bertholt

bluemilk

If you guys are curious this video goes by another YouTuber goes over how different the Aot ending for the manga and anime are different and the public reception. Keep up the grind guys and doing you https://youtu.be/HFleey6fopo?si=2VfG0h-4UNl5qmKW

Aaron Mitchell

🥲🥹

Lizzylizh

WOULD BE A TREAT TO SEE YOU REWATCH!

Heighdaro

Haha oops! Must have missed it when I was distracted. Cheers

CE Ong

They did remember, they talked about it this reaction… lol

Allokinetic

Not sure if you remember Eren's revelation to Armin in the finale that he probably controlled Dina to ignore Bertholdt and went for his mom instead, because "it's not his time to die yet".

CE Ong

Hi! If you haven’t seen AOT’s voice actors live action video, I want you two react it! https://youtu.be/T9CrFkCt0nM?si=5jqLqxrgMMdAUH9W ←this has English sub Love you guys xx

Poko

Definitely do the whole series as a re-watch you notice so many more things especially now that you've seen the entirety of the show!!! ALSO, you should watch Attack on Titan Junior High as your therapy, its a funny spin-off based on S1 thats light-hearted with our main cast going to school! It's very cute and funny

rachel

I'd love for you to re-react like this. But I have to say you will not get every easter eggs on one rewatch. Also I watched different youtube videos of all the easter eggs that I myself would have never seen so I recommend watching those. The Manga or Anime question: Did you mean AOT manga or Anime? Cause then I liked the anime better because AOT manga art style wasn't my cup of tea. But if you meant like in general then I prefer manga because it is the original source (usually) so it has more info than anime does and it's easier because you can take your time reading and understanding all the info rather than reading subs and watching at the same time.

Mango

Please watch the whole thing again! I too, still can't move on :'(

Wansleepygal

Also, Eren only got ”spoiled about the ending” when he touched Historia’s hand in season 3. That’s when his character suddenly changed to less hopeful to s4

Pizza_Mozzarella

Yes yes! Please reresct the whole show

Pizza_Mozzarella

If you guys do end up rewatching, I have a challenge for you. As we discover, Armin is being taken care of by his grandpa; can you piece together how Armin's parents died? It's a strangely underplayed bit of information. And of course, pay grueling attention to every single thing Annie, Reiner, and Berthold do

LilRigger

Watch the whole thing! I'll watch it for sure! I also miss the show and rerewatching it with you guys would be awesome!

Jose

If they want something similar to AoT in terms of world-building, complexity, and mystery, FMA Brotherhood is the next thing to check out

LilRigger

This is a great idea!

LilRigger

Yes, I believe that's correct. I'm not sure why they did it that way; it was a bit odd

LilRigger

This is TRUE. Season 2 ending is jam packed with spoilers/foreshadowing!

LilRigger

Damn I'd be so down for a full series rewatch or at least highlighted episodes. AOT is so special to me and seeing it now that we know everything makes it mean that much more. I like to think about when Eren wakes up and starts crying this way: I'm sure we've all had very vivid and detailed dreams that seemed so realistic. Then, you wake up and you don't remember a single thing that happened. I've had times I've woken up with dried tears and I remembered it was a super sad dream but I couldn't remember the slightest detail of what happened. That's basically what Eren is feeling like and why he is crying when he wakes up. He has no idea what happened in his "dream" he had but his body was still reacting to the emotional memories and times his future self visited him. PS: It's so wild seeing Grisha's reaction to Eren's reasoning for wanting to join the Survery Corps. He was like 'yep I figured he'd say something like that" while slightly knowing what future Eren is like so he knew that whatever was going to happened couldn't be stopped. AND you know that Grisha's leaving to go and get the Founder Titan

Jason

There is also a cool fan theory thats up to debate and not confirmed, but its a theory that in some of the earlier episodes you can see what looks like adult Eren in the background watching over the events happening in some scenes

Roux

So crazy how the Show shows Grisha holding the key but not showing his face becauise otherwise we'd see him actually looking at future Eren IN THE VERY FIRST EPISODE

Piranhaconda

Side note: Ron/Michelle, if y'all rewatch your original reaction to episode 1, Ron sounded like he jokingly predicted Eren's dream actually being memories lol

Roux

I think y'all should definitely react to invaderzz Eren's analysis video on YouTube. He does an amazing job of dissecting him as a character and even gives a great explanation on the whole memories/"time travel" stuff, like when Eren sees his future at certain points in the show.

Roux

You beed to react to the ova lost in the cruel World

Andrej Simic

I really think you guys should react to everything again. When you first started it was kind of new to you, especially for Ron. But now you have so much more experience watching anime

Wybel

OH! You should definitely check out the dub instead. I can't take all the whining of season one in English lol, but it's actually a quality dub. The voices all fit well and I think there are some moments that are actually better in the dub. J. Michael Tatum as Erwin is LEGENDARY (he voices Tenya Iida for MHA and Scar from FMA Brotherhood... You guys haven't seen FMA Brotherhood!!?!?!? WATCH FMA BROTHERHOOD)

Jake Turner

I think it would be really interesting and funny if you guys would look up like one or two moments from each of your original reaction videos to see how you had originally reacted to certain moments and to see what theories you had.

Jake Turner

yo rewatching the anime aye? i miss ewrin lets go!!

Yoona Kim

I would love to see a rewatch but not pressure, of course. I know you have a lot of things in your schedule. You will always notice new things rewatching it, every single time.

Savannah cat

Not sure if you guys have been told or realized but Hannes VA in season 1 is the same VA as Leorio in HxH!

Sasha

Unpopular opinion I guess, but I never liked the dubbed version. I really gave it a chance and tried watching the majority of season 1 dubbed (I watched AOT so many times lol) but Eren’s voice sounded to me like what someone would pretend to say as a joke to sound like an anime character. Especially when he was mad he really gave me goosebumps but not for the right reasons. Again, my personal opinion, different strokes for different folks. I know some people liked the dub version, but for me Eren’s VA was not it.

Savannah cat

I like the anime way better!

stupeyca

One thing I want to point out that you may have missed is they way the Dina Titan kills Eren's mom. It kills her (by I think breaking her back?) before eating her which is different than what a pure titan would do unless being ordered.

Tim Schulte

Y'all definitely should react to some more of the OVA's/ OAD's.. especially Lost girls: lost in the cruel world (Mikasa's pov)... it basically hints at what was to come all along...just a suggestion

Simari B

Just so you know in the last episode when armin and eren are talking as kids they aren’t actually kids. They are adults talking in kid form.

Yabadabadoo

Watch it on dubbed

Isaiah

I like it too especially Erwin and Levi. The only thing I really hate about it is how the titans sound. The attack titans scream sounds so pathetic to me in the English dub lol.

Tim Schulte

It could be fun if you did your re-watch of AoT in english dubbed to also make it a comparison type of reaction I watch 99% of my anime with english subs, but AoT's dubbed is not bad

NS

They changed it in the anime but in the manga eren in his dream actually sees mikasa saying see you later eren and when he wakes up he asks mikasa “when did your hair grow so long” because in his dream he saw his last moment before death when mikasa’s hair was short, I dunno why they changed this in the anime

Slizzle

you guys should rewatch the whole series , rewatch value is crazyyy in this anime

joseph

aot is so great because the rewatch value. if i were y’all i would def rewatch it. even if its offscreen.

Lenni Bunny

hahaha episode 1 and already crying ;/

Cain Olivares

I recommend to rewatch the entire show but no need to rush. We know you have a lot on your plate. 💕

Woahitsai

One thing I just noticed when Grisha tells Eren he will show him what's in the basement. It doesn't show Grisha's face, but when Zeke and Eren are going through all the memories, that is when we see Grisha's face with a shocked look on it as he says it.

Subzero Anime

I'll gladly join the trip. Just take it easy and post it whenever you guys can.

stupeyca

Ah yes… when attack on titan was actually about attacking titans 😓🥲

Bri

yooo im excited

bort

Lezzgowwwwww

Woahitsai

You guys should react to Erwin’s speech before he led the scouts to their honorable death, but In dub. One of the coldest speeches

Bri

Watch it dubbed this time around

ronald sanchez

yes

iu

You absolutely have to re watch the openings and ending W lyrics now knowing the whole story....we at least get Eren's pov in the last few

C Nichole

I liked it

JackLover19

eren killed his own mom LOL what a joke of a plot twist

iu

Well this was a nice surprise today, also did you guys know Armins VA is the narrator, not sure if it’s confirmed that it’s armin telling the story but he did say in the final episode that he would tell their story to the world

BeavZ

Yes this is an awesome anime I started watching way back in the summer of 2013 I've re-watched the series afew time and it seems to get better everytime

K

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure future Eren and Zeke are in kid Eren's house (via the paths) when they are talking about him joining the scouts and the cellar. Future Eren is sending Grisha his memories so when he pulls out the key to the cellar at the doorway he knows Eren is standing in front of him almost as if speaking to him directly. This is why they only show the key and not Grisha's face. Kid Eren has no idea at this time his future self is manipulating everything

T K

Michelle watch the new ED for the final part of the final of the final of final final Jesus… but yea watch it!

Itscurlyman

honestly the anime did a way better way of telling the story but the manga is a lot more brutal in the scenes they show

Jordy_EMS

Michelle sat so close to the camera it felt like Eren telling me to get on my feet lmao

Overbyte

9:43 on this video, this scene shows Eren's Head and Mikasa....at the Tree..........😭

yoko

yess, i hope you guys will keep these reactions 😭 also, will u ever watch "Attack on Titan Junior High"?

honeyଓ

His aot vids are fantastic for sure

Trinature

I feel like they might've forgotten that future Eren and Zeke was in the house watching the conversation between small Eren and Grisha about the key to the basement XD

Honey

Dang this is crazy, I just messaged Ron and michelle the other day that they should do a reaction to invaderzz eren breakdown video. I also seen he released a video explaining about how Ymir fits into the story that was a good and interesting take.

Roux

I think rewatch it own time and do a edit of s1 rewatch as 1 video s2 s3 s4

Jordan

i am not going to say what he did , how he did it or what episode it was, but berthold alsmost revealed himself before reiner told eren in the background of certain scene in a certain episode :D

Kevin Depoppe

Michelleee watch the new ED that dropped after the final episode you will see eren and mikasa and it will help u heal that emotional damage, like it helped me frrr

Camila

Oh man, I dont know if I can do this yet haha. Glad you guys are re-watching. The re-watch is a completely different experience and just shows Isayama genius

Raden

this why yall are my favorite reactors. thank you!!

T K

also notice how the story was narrated by armin from the very beginning just like he says in his closing line

Let’s go for the round 2 !!! I’ll be here all the way !!!

Thomas Juino

the baby va thing was hilarious

Right? Manga has it, but anime didnt include it. Crazy loop. Eren actually died 3x, He also died in the Lost girls manga(as a kid) then in the see you later, eren. Then last one was the final, where he actually died died(when ymir was finally free)

Jamil Hope

this is a very good idea

gdnsx

Let's gooooo! Also, when Eren wakes up in the beginning, he actually dreams of the iconic Mikasa "see you later, Eren" scene. He also asks Mikasa why her hair was so long lol for whatever reason WIT changed that entirely, but damn it would've been full circle had they never done that. And just a tip so y'all don't try to over-analyze Eren, he doesn't see the future until after he kissed Historias hand. But yes I hope y'all continue with the reactions!

Val

Yep the baby thing that was sent is true, also the background map being a map of Marley

Nate Banker

It will be good if you'll react to the endings but with the lyrics... Everything has a meaning that 💔

Fiorela .

You guys should check out the manga chapter 1, there’s a part that they didnt show here in the anime(which I believe a very important scene) Before eren woke up, there was supposed to be a scene before that.

Jamil Hope

I think it would be really cool if u watched a video breakdown of Erens Character. There are a bunch of them but the one by invaderzzz is the most popular, the one by Sage's Rain is a bit shorter but just as good

Trinature

Need the endings

Nate Banker

now that AOT is over, please watch "Attack on Titan Junior High" 🙏 its funny and has the same VA's. I think ya'll will love it!

Luna

You should react to the season 2 ending again and look at all the spoilers Isayama put in there before they were even written into the story! Shows how far ahead he planned thing.

AyBe

I don't know how I feel about this

FW

Too soon 😭

Divine Simp

when you re watch it, it just gets better 😩

J

You can’t just do the 1st episode 😭😭😭. Y’all should do a video of all the outros! I believe y’all never watched the S3 part 2 outro also, every reaction video y’all have of it is skipped

Frankie

Keep going. Just keep watching. The rewatch starts now

JayPierlis

Let's gooooooooo rewatch series patreon exclusive 😈😈😈

MikeAngels99

Carter Gavigan
