  • For English?

  • I fricking love anime. Anime's pretty cool.

  • This is the one with the Titans, isn't it?

  • (gasping) It's Attack on Titans!

  • This is my show.

  • Everything changed when the fire nation came.

  • But how long...would it last?

  • This is such a good show. Like, legit. This is amazing.

  • So dramatic. (laughs)

  • The city has been invaded by Titans.

  • I don't even know what this is about. I just heard it's really good.

  • Yes, oh my God! This show is my life right now.

  • Oh no...she got pulled up by her head.

  • This is when my inner nerd comes out. I low key love this stuff.

  • Brutal. (laughs)

  • That episode was so sad.

  • This looks good.

  • It's so hard to watch anime subs.

  • I don't have enough of an attention span to just read.

  • This is like the Pokemon?

  • Yeah, yeah, yes!

  • Honestly, I think swords would be very ineffective against giants.

  • [Low key], that's really tight. (laughs)

  • Attack of the Titan.

  • I've never heard of that before.

  • It looks good.

  • (boy) And just like that... everything changed.

  • Oh, wait, wait, ,wait. Is this already a thing in Japan

  • and they're bringing it over to America now?

  • (man) Okay, people, either we secure this ground as mankind's first--

  • Oh, are they English dubbing it? Nice, was unaware of that.

  • (boy)...the pre-death extinction.

  • His voice sounds so weird in English!

  • (boy) After five resurrected walls, withdrawing behind them

  • in frightened huddles with what was to be a century of uneasy peace.

  • Dude, that show is so intense. Just the trailer is like--

  • I feel like I'm about to die.

  • (boy) I saw it! The colossal one! You were there that day.

  • Nothing in anime sounds good in English. You just gotta read the captions, okay?

  • - (boy) Go back to hell-- - (woman) You don't fight the nature of things in

  • - (boy) You tell me it's better-- - It's really gory.

  • Look around you, Eren. Don't be a pawn.

  • I guess it's a whole revenge thing going on

  • that he destroys the city and now the kids been training forever.

  • (woman) Face it, all the powers that they really expect

  • us to do is play the game.

  • - This is [our chance]! - Yeah, kill it! Kill it!

  • (man) Remember this moment when you come face to face...

  • The feels are so intense right now for me.

  • Like, I swear!

  • That looks really good.

  • Epic.

  • Japanese anime is the [censored].

  • (Finebros) Before today, had you ever heard of the show Attack on Titan?

  • Mmm-hmm.

  • Yes.

  • A lot of people talk to me about it.

  • And you guys talk about it in the Fine Time Vlogs.

  • I have watched it all in Japanese.

  • No.

  • I've never heard of it.

  • No, I've not heard of it, but I am going-- is it on Adult Swim or something?

  • (Finebros) Yeah, it's on Adult Swim.

  • (laughter)

  • - (Finebros) You're excited? - Yeah!

  • (Finebros) From what you've seen, what does the plot

  • - seem to be of the show Attack on Titans? - There's Town.

  • Okay, wait, is the town's name Titan?

  • Town are a group of people in these walls, like protective walls,

  • and then there's Titans that come in.

  • Titans that were raised from Hell, basically.

  • Bad-ass ninja guys are gonna try and take down these giant Titans.

  • And humanity is in jeopardy.

  • (Finebros) That spoiling too much, the show is about giant human-like creatures

  • who attack and eat humans, but no one knows why.

  • Ugh, lovely. That explains the goer.

  • What the hell, man? I would [censored] my pants

  • if that was gonna happen.

  • (Finebros) So they barricaded themselves in walls, but the Titans are back

  • and broke through, so the humans are fighting for their survival.

  • Sounds intense!

  • It's so confusing.

  • But those animes are always really confusing.

  • That's a really good plotline.

  • That's amazing!

  • Hidden message: we destroy each other!

  • The monopolies are destroying the little people!

  • (Finebros) If you lived in a world where the Titans were real,

  • - what do you think you would do? - I would so hide under a rock.

  • I'm gonna sit in the background and cry!

  • Somebody save the day for me.

  • I would join the army and I would love to do that Spiderman grappling thing.

  • I'm a thug, okay? I'm going straight after those Titans.

  • No. You would die, like first one to die--that would be you!

  • You would be that kid who died.

  • If you're gonna die no matter what, go out like a warrior.

  • - (Finebros) Do you like the show? - It's so good!

  • It's my favorite show.

  • (Finebros) Who's your favorite character on the show?

  • Sasha and Eren.

  • Either Eren or Levi.

  • I mean, Eren's the main character.

  • I'm biased cause that's whose point of view I'm looking from.

  • (Finebros) So I now have some clips to show you of the horror

  • - inside of Attack on Titan. - Ooh! I like creepy things.

  • There my favorite scenes in the show, to be honest.

  • Oh no!

  • He's gonna get eaten. Oh she's--oh no!

  • Oh, don't do it.

  • No! Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no!

  • Noooo! Noooo!

  • That's so disturbing.

  • Oh...

  • He like breaks her and then eats her. It's just like, "Oh God!"

  • Ugh, what is--this is why I don't watch anime.

  • Just slurped him up like some noodles.

  • No, no, no, no...

  • Noooo! What?!

  • It's like a little snack.

  • No! Oh god, no! Not this one, okay? Okay, okay.

  • Oh no!

  • (gasp) No!

  • Noooo!

  • (Finebros) Is it all you expected Attack on Titan to be?

  • Not really.

  • I had something about teen Titans going on in my mind.

  • Like these guys are going to be sick-ass teenage combat people.

  • There's some sadistic [censored].

  • - (Finebros) What do you think of the Titans? - They're weird looking.

  • They look like people, but they look like carnivorous people.

  • They can be freaking terrifying.

  • And other times you see them and you're like,

  • "Oh, I want that as a doll. I want to cuddle it, it's adorable."

  • That's such a good concept. Oh my god! It's so creepy and so awesome.

  • (Finebros) So this is an anime. What is an anime?

  • It's a Japanese cartoon?

  • Generally based off of the manga.

  • Not with the connotation like it's for children, like it's for all ages.

  • I thought it was for little kids until I saw it had violent scenes.

  • I did not like the English version 'cause they mess everything up!

  • In everything, they translate it and probably Google translate it

  • or something 'cause everything is wrong!

  • (Finebros) So in Japan they make so much anime, way more than in America.

  • Almost every major network in Japan will air an anime as part of their programming.

  • What? (laughs)

  • (Finebros) What do you think about the fact that here

  • anime is on a few smaller networks, but in Japan they're on major networks

  • and some of them even air on prime time?

  • Well, that's strange.

  • I think it's just a cultural difference.

  • Japan has all this down!

  • I might have to think about moving pretty soon.

  • I think we need some of that. I want to be watching anime

  • on Fox and NBC.

  • (Finebros) Why is there this stigma? A lot of people say anime and people are like,

  • "Ugh, I hate it!" - They're so immature.

  • You should grow up. Uh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

  • Calm down.

  • The cartoon show is you can make things more intense than you could

  • even with things like in The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.

  • People are like, "No, it's cartoons! We can't watch it. That's for children."

  • And then they'll go and see Frozen 12 times,

  • and the Lego movie 10 times. So you can freaking watch anime, people!

  • Truth!

  • (Finebros) So back to Attack on Titan, arguably right now this is

  • the most popular recent Anime. What do you think is resonating

  • world-wide with this type of a story?

  • I don't know. Attack on humanity has been a very popular theme in so many movies.

  • Unity thing. We're all humans.

  • We can do this together.

  • Hey, everyone. Let's all die together.

  • The concept of the creatures-- the Titans are creepy as [censored].
