noakey harding
you just on the 1%, nothing wrong like that though, when you think of thing logicaly its impossible to take it this way, we see character walk on the wall many time even put cannon here ect, well we know the wall is rather large, you have to forgot everything you've saw before about the wall to be able to think its a titan lurkig behind it rather than being inside the wall
riddle
oh when i watched it for the first time with my mom we did not take it that way either, i thought the same thing as the twins 😭 idt that it is 99% of people lol
KornSirkel
some moderator there to let them read about Carla being mincemeat.. basically debunking their theory on eaten people can turn into titans
Banirabu
Thank you for reading my comment! This was an amazing reaction. Watching the Titan-In-The-Wall realization was just too funny.
Hippopi
I'd say that No Regrets is a vital watch too, as Isayama wrote it in the manga (obviously with some changes).
Hippopi
I hope the mod doesn't show them this comment as you're kind of giving away too much with the explanation. I'd just leave it at "You guys should watch the S2 ending at least once fully, and let us know what you think it means/what it's about."
Yagami
I just realized... :') I was freaking out fir nothing xD I thought they watch all of them 👀 . im so excited for Season 2 😁
Ashley K
They're only watching up to OAD 5 which is No Regrets (Levi's OAD).... they're not doing Lost Girls (Annie's OAD) yet.
Luke Harmon
This may be a good time to ask, since you guys are about to start season 2, you should watch the ending to season 2 at least once. It reveals a lot about the story. You won't understand any of it, but I'm curious about your opinions. And when I say it reveals a lot, it reveals almost everything, but in such an artistic way, that it doesn't directly tell you anything. It's also a good example of the horror aspect of this show.

Part 3: OVAs I would recommend to not watch all of them now!!! A few of them have major spolers!!! Even if you don't find all of them, they can lead to you guys thinking to mush into things that are not important now. the ova story's are not all written by Isayama. Ilse's notbook is from him. I would have recommend to watch it after Ep 1 of season two. But its not a problem with this one. -Levi's Ova: It is ok to watch them now but I would actually wait until a part of Season 3 where a person and a location is introduced. - Annie's OVA's.... watch it after Season 2!!!!!! it does give some clues. I highly recommend waiting. Mikasa's OVA is for later. I'd wait at least mid/end of Season 4. it does have spolers!!. Do my advice : Start Season 2 now and do Annie's OVA afterwards. You can decide about Levi's OVAs but I'd wait and watch Season 2 first. Season 2 is short and im pretty sure most of us are most excited about you guys starting Season 2. I hope you guys read this. :D love you guys 🙌

I watched the first season when I was 15 and I binge watched it so I didn't stop to think much about it but 1st thing that came to mind when I watched that last after credit scene was "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A TITAN DOING INSIDE THE WALL". And I want to bring to your attention, please remember that the walls are thick enough for people to stand on top and build rails and put cannons on.. So even tho Annie left marks due to her climbing, it can't have penetrated all the way through to the other side. And on a side note, this is first time I have this thought: Many things in our life got discovered by "coincidence" however it's also because they happened to the right person... For example they say an apple fell on Newton and that made him question what made this apple fall hence the notion "gravity" was invented, however how many people before him had an apple or various other things fall on them but it was discarded. And watching this OVA now made me think about it, if Hange didn't have that huge sense of discovering the mysteries of the titans (because like the other members of the survey corps she also wants freedom from the cage they live in but she just has a different approach which is not wrong in the slightest and probably the best method even), she wouldn't follow it all the way to the forest and just assume like the others that it's an aberrant and go for the kill.. And they wouldn't have gotten to that tree or see the remaining corpse of Ilse nor her very last notes that actually gave them a very meaningful insight over the titans. Even though it did give them more questions than answers but without questions you can't find the answers. PS: I am a Mechanical Engineer, since you mentioned about the viewers jobs ^^ PS 2: In my opinion, you shouldn't leave a big gap between 1st and 2nd season, someone else already commented that but there's tons of information coming up and some of the past given knowledge can be forgotten so it's best to go on while it's still fresh.

You two are great :D the real question is if Jordan is wearing a black t and black pants in this video is Jared wearing white pants with the white t xD?
Yagami
2. part: -in episode 23 there are two things you can write down. -what Annie said to marlo: „ I just want the weak who do get swept along with the flow to be considered human, too“ -And in the conversation between Annie and Armin, while trying to convince her she asked him "if she seemed to be a good person" he said that he doesn't like that term. in his view a good person can be good to you. But no one can be good to everyone. you don't need to think about it now I will remind you later. also Annie turned away from Armin while putting on the ring to make sure he doesn't see it. I'll make 3. part for the OVAs
Yagami
hey J&J and all the patreons. a few things I wanted to say :) - I actually canceled Membership a few weeks ago before the Otaku Gold update. This show means so much to me and I'd give everything to be able watching it for first time. I came back because it is hard to find a better reaction channel than yours. So big props guys!! I am looking forward to this journey with you. Sometimes i wish I never had watched Aot. After finishing it there is a big hole missing inside me. I cant enjoy a lot of Tv shows because they feel so doll compared to the story writing of aot. I hope you guys read this. I'll do a second coment so it doesn't get to long here :')
Majoz

Kevin
They’ve mentioned they watch them in batches of 3. Which should mean they’ll see Distress, No Regrets Part 1, and No Regrets Part 2 in one sitting. Even though we’ll see the reactions separately between Fri/Sat
Majoz
Hopefully you guys will watch the levi ova at one time
Les
Oh, you twins! If you're having trouble deciphering there was a titan in the wall, good luck with the rest of the show lol!
Randy Flash
And s/o to the mod, I just rewatched the reaction and your job is not just necessary it is crucial, so whoever it is... thank you
fox
Finally watching this and laughing my butt off at 8am 😂😂😂 the wall debate ☠️☠️ Remember they have been on top of the wall and it is so thick they have cannons and ish up there lol Also remember the manga was a thing so many fans did already know what was going on
Randy Flash
Amazing reaction as always😁... I am sry guys if it felt like a spoiler, but that cliffhanger was meant to show the titan inside that wall, and 99% of people who experienced it for the first time have seen it that way... I am not sure what kind of twin connection that led you both to see it the same way 🤣, this alone has to be a superpower. But yeah the thickness of the walls has been shown throughout the season, whether its some random imagery of birds flying over them, or people just walking on them, giving u a perspective that they are not thin at all. I believe we subconsciously pictured them as really thick, so when Annie damaged the surface of that wall with just the tips of her fingers, we instantly knew without even questioning it, that she just could not reach and break the other side of the wall. Pick 10, 15 random 1st time anime watchers' reactions of that cliffhanger and u will see. Yall figuring it out was an all time moment for me 🤣 I hope the mod gives you the green light for the comments you read, I will never forgive myself or anyone else if we spoil you this masterpiece.
Kel
When I watched this OVA in dub I was shocked to hear his accent. It’s insane to see the difference, and like you said now we know why Petra was like “Why are you talking weird?”
Kel
This was my exact thought. I guess it’s really not a big deal either way.
Kel
Yeah I get that. I just feel like it ruins the surprise we get in episode one, so would be better watched after that. But it’s all good!
hiro ame
Hi thank you for your reaction! In my opinion, the OVA you "must" watch is this "Ilse's notebook". Because this story is the only story that the writer wrote himself. (Strictly speaking, the Ilse's memory part is by the writer, and the rest involving Hange, Levi and so on is by the animators) As you noticed, this is going to be so important for the story from now on. Other OVAs are fun to watch too, so I'm glad you're going to watch them all though :) But it is just written by the animators and the screenwriters, so it is just for fun. And also fun fact, "Sudden visitor" got lot of the ideas from the "false notice for the next manga" written by the writer himself.(He likes to put in some little comedy in the end of the book. lol) BTW, I live in Japan so I always get for upload notice in 3 to 4 AM! So for me, your videos are for boosting my energy for the day! XD (If I make it to wake up early enough. haha) So thank you for your reactions always! Have fun, and take care.
Jordy_EMS
Love the reaction guys its genuinely the highlight of my days and also if i was yous id try to remember the phrase "Lady Ymir" <3
Bianca 🎀
💀
its_aliza
yea man Ilse must have been like Einstein herself if she can take notes even in THAT kind of situation.. Her and Hange would have made an unstoppable team
its_aliza
and I just love their confusion haha just makes it so much more entertaining when they finally figure out whats actually going on
its_aliza
I mean just imagine if there was a COLOSSAL titan just chilling on the other side silently peeking in with that expression on its face LMAOOO!!
its_aliza
I'm not sure if the OVAs "distress" and "sudden visitor" are of much importance.. honestly I even forgot about them but "Ilse's Notebook" and Levi's "No regrets" OVAs are important
its_aliza
another great reaction guys :D it was hilarious seeing Jordan finally realise the fact that the titan was IN the wall itself and not peeking from the other side. The walls are very thick.. you can remember how pixis, Armin, and everyone else were talking, sitting, walking and even chilling on top of the walls back in the battle for Trost arc lol.. now just imagine a whole colossal titan stuck inside that thing.. Also about this OVA.. please be sure to remember the face and words of the blonde titan and its actions of paying respect to Ilse. This titan was not an intelligent one like Eren and Annie.. it was an ordinary titan but somehow not completely mindless..
OldeSkoole
Titans don't defecate.
deja
This was the reaction I was looking for when finding out that a titan was inside the wall lmao
Slayer91340
I really don't blame for not knowing she's dead. In this Anime, it's almost like they have to show you the detail, or you're never sure.
Hippopi
Not only that, it literally showed the smiling titan break Karla's back/neck before biting her literally in half.
Slayer91340
To the one commenting on Erens mom being minced meat, it showed that one titan bite, and blood. In the Manga, yes it showed it and you knew it was over. The anime basically showed the same that it showed when Eren got eaten.
Zaak Dann
Ok, nobody has said this: the walls are f***king thick, they're very thick. As u can see in that scene, the piece of wall that fell was just a thin cover.. so thats why you get to the conclusion the titan was inside the wall.
Hippopi
Also it wouldn't make sense if it was behind the wall because it's face was right up front and that wall is super thick.
Hippopi
Hahaha that inside the wall debacle was hilarious XD
Omney
how thick do they think the walls are? lol how could it be peeking directly behind the wall, the wall would have to be super thin.
Jay
When I was first watching AOT I completely skipped on the OVA's till I finished S3 because lots of people were like "they aren't relevant/important" . But when I watched for myself, I was pleasantly surprised because I was expecting them to be some light-hearted, fun, non-cannon episodes. But in reality, they actually gave more worldbuilding and explained some questions that you may have had from the main plot. They're all worth giving a watch
AlessandrosXD
I was one of those that thought that the Titan was behind the wall😭 My girlfriend told me it was inside and I was like “Naaaahh” then I watched it again and you can only see darkness behind the Titan, you don’t see any light coming from the other side meaning that the Titan really was inside the wall😀
Emanuel 2
I get the confusion lmao but i never seen anyone interpret it like they did
Emanuel 2
Same i like how it gave the Levi squad more screentime
Sean Carroll
bruh the titan is inside the literal stone of the wall. You see a small piece of the wall fall after the annie escape attempt. I dont know how there was so much confusion haha
Sean Carroll
best time for this ova would have been after ep 1 and before ep 2 of s2. Two reasons for this i cant say until they have seen first 2 eps of season 2
Bianca 🎀
the anime will circle back around to what they need to remember yall, relax.
Bianca 🎀
like HUHHHH?!?! 😭
Bianca 🎀
i’ve never watched the OVAs before & this was…interesting…very interesting…
Bianca 🎀
“I’m not talking about INside wall sina, INside wall maria, INside wall rose, i’m talking about IN👏🏽SIDE👏🏽 THE SLABS 👏🏽OF THE 👏🏽GOT DAMN WALL.” LMFAO
antionette7
Love our freethinker, Hange Zoe. Isayama purposely designed and drew Hange gender-ambiguous and requested, when possible, that manga translations not use gendered pronouns for Hange. Per Isayama, each fan gets to interpret Hange’s gender and pronouns for themselves. Thank you, J&J! Your reactions are our after-a-long-day treat, too. So much joy spread! Can’t wait for the next four OVAs; especially hyped for Fri/Sat!💜
its_aliza
I thought it should be watched before S2 because you know what is going to happen in S2.. its a very important OVA with respect to those events
uchenna
i just can't imagine being on the brink of death wedged inbetween a creature's teeth like a nutcracker and still being able to be present enough to take notes of everything i'm experiencing and feeling 😭 ilse's a real one
Malia
Can't wait for No Regrets 1&2! Levi is in my top 5 favorite anime characters, right up there with Kakashi from Naruto (also worth watching but loooong). I predict he'll be one of your favorites too.
uchenna
jared talking his way out of paying the bet money i can't
Kel
Thank you for explaining why you chose to watch the OVA’s now as opposed to later. I was one of those who felt this OVA should be watched later but after hearing your reasoning, I can’t argue your decision. It makes me feel better about the whole thing. Counting down until Friday and Saturday though! 🙌🙌🙌
L. Trajano Ghirga
PLEASE: remember the titan's words
Kevin
One small detail that I wasn’t sure you fully caught: In this OVA we see Oluo talking in a very “hick” manner, and Petra calls him out for it saying he sounds like a “bumpkin”, basically saying he sounds stupid. After Levi saves him, he says he’ll follow him for life, and clearly develops some sort of hero worship, as in the main series he changes the way he talks and always tries to imitate Levi’s speech patterns. Petra was always calling him out for “copying Captain Levi”, and now we know why.
carmen 🫧
never watched the OVA’s so this is a first for me! LETS GOOO
Val
Just know... Isayama is a F***** mad man! 😭 great reaction as always fellas 🔥
Yusan
The wall confusion was too funny! I always thought that the titan was inside the wall because the part that broke off was thin. We've seen people stand and walk on the walls so we know that they are thick.
Gatha Naranath
That first reaction to that titan talking is the best, its honestly. Considering its an OVA, one of the most crazy things i've seen...also. Remember those words it said..."Subjects of Ymir", "Lady Ymir".
Gatha Naranath
No one: Jared: So humans can turn into trees
IQLou
The delayed titan inside the walls reaction 😆 already loving the beginning of this! For all the reactors I've ever watched, I always skip the OVA's so it'll be my first time watching all of them with you two! Yall are too entertaining lol
bort
the wall is quite substantial/thick. from a visual perspective it would seem like the titan is inside the wall
Kevin
Oh my god the realization the Titan was inside the wall happening live during the intro was *gold*. Already one of your best videos, I’m dying!
Gatha Naranath
OMG THANK U FOR READING MY COMMENT LOVE YALL
