FIRST TIME WATCHING: Attack on Titan S1E1 (Patreon Exclusive!)

FINALLY jumping in on this show with you! You've been watching this for some time now, you've just uploaded episode 27 of season 2, which means I have a ton of catching up to do and I'm VERY excited to do so! :) This first episode was VERY cool and I'm stoked beyond stoked to be watching this with ya! :D

Just to shove it in the face of all the doubters, I always told you eventually she would get to attack on Titan. Eventually, she would watch anime whether it was Patreon exclusive or she put it on YouTube. And every time I would recommend attack on Titan, other people in the comments would say, “Natalie is never gonna do anime.” I am vindicated! Now enjoy peak!

This series made me coming back to Patreon! Greetings from Spain!

Yea, this brought me back, sorry for being gone

before i start, is she watching the dub or sub?

ok this made me subscribe to the patreon. Cant wait to see you walk this awesome journey

Hellyeah! This is going to be a fun journey. I bought the collection and will wait for you to get more episodes out before I start, but damn am I excited for your reaction to it, oh sweet summer child :D

The announcement for AoT made me sub finally. Happy you are giving more anime a chance, and a series no less. If you continue even beyond AoT I will likely remain a sub here, I enjoy anime reactions by people I really like, and AoT is one of the greats.

Yeah you’re gonna wanna have some tissues on the ready at all times with this one.

Super excited for you to watch this one! Been a looong time coming. I got into watching reactions because of this show, thus I knew about YOU because of AoT hoping you’ll react to it sometime. ENJOY! ✌️

As for the show, all I will say is that the "extra" episodes are worth watching, just watch them at the correct time. I was going to skip them because they were a bit more difficult to gain access to, but they are just really special episodes of the show, they fit right in. There are 8 of them. I found this on reddit. https://attackontitan.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Attack_on_Titan_episodes/OVA. If you want it simple, watch the first 7 after season 1, and before season 2. Watch the eighth after the first episode of season 2. So 1-7, S2E1, 8. Then just watch all the seasons as normal.

I think it's been said before, but if you can't sit upright in a computer chair, do what works for you. You can lounge, and react. Lay on your side and turn the camera 90 degrees. Get like 4 oversized bean bags and toss them into the corner of the room, and burrow under them with your head popping out like a prairie dog. Whatever works.

Holy shit I just resubscribed because I wanted to rewatch stranger things in the lead up to season 5, I used to be subscribed back when arcane s1 was coming out. I was asking for you to react to Attack on Titan WAY BACK THEN!!! So stoked for this I really hope you see it through because each season gets better and better.

Let's gooooo!!!!! Restarted my membership because of this haha

im so excited holyy

I'll check this out in 2 years when you're at season 4😂

had to sub to patreon because of this. so glad youre watching it subbed too cause as youve already seen, it changes a looooot in the dub. people like to defend it but the dub in my opinion changes way too much. but not here to do a sub or dub debate. just amazing series that is mostly faithfully to the manga. there are some changes as the manga wasnt finished yet but for the most part, its solid in adaptation and the music is just incredible as well as the actors. just one of those shows that you know will be timeless.

To answer the question about the stills, yes it is a budget thing. The studio allocated their time and money to the action scenes, which are absolutely cracked.

Nice! You picked a super intense starter anime, that's for sure

Huge suggestion, definite go back to the info cards at the end of every ep. They have important little bits of info that will help you significantly throughout the seasons with understanding the world and lore.

WOAH You're watching AoT?? and SUBBED?? Am I dreaming? I cannot believe these worlds are merging.

I tried watching this show a few years ago and stopped around midway through. It just wasn't doing it for me, but maybe I needed to give it the full season. I guess I'll find out :)

OMG, no way. Aot is my favourite anime, I'm so excited about your reaction

This is the first time I've been able to sync up with your reaction. AoT is amazing storytelling. It's so ballsy and passionate. I'm really looking forward to your reactions! I hope your hip feels better soon. Thanks for working through the pain, but please do take care of yourself first and foremost.

First time watching this show.

I just subscribed here, I’m a bit confused on why there’s a timer and not just the video playing? I figured we’d be able to watch too

Hell yeah. Can't wait for you to get even deeper into the story!

Welcome to the best story ever told <3

The info pages are sometimes a wall of text haha, would def recommend either pausing for this anime or going back to them at the end, they've always got some cool lore!

Yes, those information available for public disclosure pages go by quick. Since you're doing watch along format and not picture in picture you'll want to make a note of when it happens, and how often, and go back and read them at the end of each episode. It would make a good addition to the post watch discussion. It's best to read them when they come up, but that's inconvenient to have to pause and play a bunch every time it comes up, as sometimes there's 2 pages to read. But better late than never, as long as you get that info. And if you're able to read it on camera all the better because the information revealed can be pretty important sometimes so your reaction to them is an addition to the watch.

Stop it right now!!! Are you serious?! I've never subscribed/resubbed to a channel quicker. YES PLEASE. I'll watch this in any language at any pace. (please don't take to long though, I'm broke.) lol I'm so excided for your reaction. I haven't started it yet so IDK what you've decided with language but just be sure to watch with the correct subtitles if you're doing subbed, and if you dub DO NOT let people bully you into watching it in a way you don't want and will miss out on the art. The weebs disagree, but the dub voice acting is great and almost up to par with the original, and even better at some points, (I actually prefer some of the sound design in the dub) as well as simply for reaction purposes, if you are super good at watching things with subtitles and catching both subtle visual cues and art, all as well as reading quickly, then by all means subbed is great, and preferable in some ways. But do what YOU want and will get the best viewing experience with, not what your subscribers want, they can just watch their version in whatever audio they want while you watch what you want. (most people forget they can just watch their proffered version while the reactor does theirs. and bully them into watching the way they want rather than what the reactor wants and ruins the whole thing because they miss so much.) So do what you want and prefer and screw all the noise everyone makes about dub vs sub, they're both great and it boils down to what YOU prefer, if there's any doubt, watch the first few episodes in both (simply re-watch the other audio version after recording and see if you prefer it, and decide from there.) Good luck, have fun, and stay away from comment sections that have not been moderated or combed through for spoilers. This community is bad for indirect, unintentional, or even plain spiteful spoiling. Keep the blinders up and have fun! I can't wait!!!!!!!! LETS GOOOOO! Oh and PS don't google anything. Even to double check something you think might not be a spoiler. Have someone else look it up for you and confirm your inquiry.

Really interested to see how you like this one~! :D Excited for you getting into an anime series though! And yeah the music is ACES!

Im so glad you decided to watch it subbed! I personally prefer subbed because of what you mentioned early in the video about how the English translation being totally different. Thats a big reason why subbed vs dubbed is such a huge thing in the anime community

Uh oh, hopefully the community is chill lol

So next anime is one piece? 🙃

Content creators have definitely hacked a money glitch by reacting to AoT. This is like the 5th reactor I’ve subscribed to their Patreon because of this series.

Yeah, this show starts with a bang. The mid-episode infographics are usually not of vital importance but it's good to go back because it very much is a action/mystery show. This is the first time that I rewatched it and I recognize many little secrets already that will make only make sense in the future. Just keep paying attention and enjoy the ride.

And so it begins

Also, I strongly recommend watching the intros and the outros, especially if you're only doing 2 episodes a week. They tie into the show thematically in beautiful ways, and they're very short! I know you watched the intro but please don't skip the outros either :)

Stock up on tissues for this series Nat.

YESSSSS she’s not ready for this

YES YES YES I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Big respect to the subs, but if we ever get to Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood PLEASE watch the DUBBED version, it’s generational. One of the few instances where it surpasses the subs version imo

Why don’t you do clear video and audio for Patreon exclusives? I’ve seen other people do clear videos exclusively on Patreon for 5 years now, it feels like you’re behind the times.

W subbed 🤩

I’m very excited for you to dive into this one. This was the show that got me back into anime after 15 years not watching since I was a kid. Also I want to start the campaign for the next potential anime you watch to be Frieren. It received the least votes in the poll but I genuinely think it’s the show you’d like most of the four options! Hopefully it wins next time

Let's go...Time to get hurt again.

The golden age is here

lets gooooo
