Attack on Titan: Season 3 Episode 10 (47)

Hey Tim, I wrote this comment in your subs or dubs post but also wanted to propose it here, why don’t you try watching a few episodes in dub? I know most viewers prefer subs but it can also be that you will process the information better in dub and it will help your reacting. After trying a few episodes you can then have viewers vote which they prefer.

I do understand the comment about getting overwhelmed with content on our side too. I watched your first couple of Arcane episodes but started falling behind on other stuff so I stopped. But now that Death Note is over I plan to go back and catch up, as that's something I haven't even watched.

Just caught up today! And yes Tim, to put it bluntly (sorry), you are ‘bad’ at reacting to shows like this. Although it is fun in its own way. And I will certainly follow along further. It was sometimes a major struggle to see you having difficulty with paying attention. Especially when the show hits one of its few obvious reveals and you somehow miss it. But don’t worry too much, the last two episodes were an improvement. And it seems you are genuinely enjoying it. It is just that your mind wanders a lot. Maybe I would as well if the background music was foreground music to me. For me anime reactions are fun to see the clueless person slowly put together the story in their mind. Just like the I did on my first watch. So when you ask questions that are already answered by the show and fundamental to the story going on it feels kind of disappointing. (just being honest) But not asking questions would be even worse. As long as we all have fun, all is good.

Attack on Tuesday❤️‍🔥

I think you mainly just need to do enough pausing and talking for in the future to make it easier to have the reactions uploaded to YouTube if you end up trying with your editor.

Alright, time to start the best arc in anime 🔥

ATTACK ON TUESDAY

Language time! So we got both the good and the bad in this episode: At the beginning, Levi's subtitle says "What? Your face looks like it's leaking shit." This is just a bad translation - a direct translation would be something like "Your face looks like you're going to start leaking shit," or idiomatically "You like like you're going to crap your pants." On the flip side, when Kenny's "Yoroshiku-na" is translated as "Nice to meetcha," this is almost perfect. A traditional Japanese greeting on meeting someone is "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." This is the formal phrase which under very casual circumstances is shortened to just "Yoroshiku." Adding the modifier 'na' adds a little flippancy, an undertone of 'hey, whatever...' which is nicely captured by "Nice to meetcha." Separately, I can't be the only person who saw your schedule and thought 'this guy has totally overscheduled himself.' Even if you're doing something you love (or especially if you're doing something you love,) you can't schedule it seven days a week. Please build in some breaks for yourself and your family!

I think the main reason for you missing story details are not the subs but that you are watching weekly and partly just how your brain works. Like Eren was last called the coordinate almost 2 months ago in your watch time. For a first time watcher you are doing good. Here are 2 helpful questions that you should be able to know from this last story arc. 1. How does one become an intelligent titan. Like Eren, Rainer, Berthold, Ymir and Annie? 2. following that how do you think Eren became one? if you don't know the answers to these questions we might be little lost but not to worry they will become more clear as the show continues. (I edited my comment to totally different one that it originally was)

I didn't remember the first half of season 3 being so full of lore and great moments. Glad to have watched it again. But now, only two episodes left before the second "half" of season 3 - new opening... and oh my god... some of the greatest episodes and moments are right in front of us. You were so spot on in this episode, and I also found it good that you looked up small details this time, though of course there is always a risk of spoilers with this. As for the "Coordinate": At the end of season 2, when Eren controlled the titans Reiner explicitly identifies Eren as "The Coordinate", and that it is a disaster that he of all people posesses it. So, the Founding Titan and the "Coordinate" are very much the same thing. Therefore "If we wait, it will come to us" should mean, that "If we wait here, the one carrying the Coordinate will come for us, which is our chance to face him". That's at least, what I took from this sentence.

Attack on Tuesday! Kenny really is such a fascinating character despite only really being in this one arc, and his line about "everyone was a slave to something" really does encapsulate one of the major themes of the story as a whole. Also, that scene where Historia punches Levi makes more sense in the manga, because Levi is much more aggressive about convincing Historia that she has to be queen and it happens much earlier, but in the anime, she agrees to do it right away. It was meant to be a lighthearted little payback for how he mistreated her earlier, but since that didn't really happen in the anime, it seems a little random
