Peak Backstory Erwin The Goat Like Always

Zipzzty

Its actually the first time i was watching it! so refreshing

Avital Lockhart

Every time I watch it, I cry..

Hueki Yuuki

It's always the birds man

Sweede TW

The last shot of the two birds following Levi, representing Isabel and Furlan being free in death but also staying by his side, always gives me the biggest chills.

notchrisramirez

Means Niffol has a crush on you Bradlynn

Ron Jackson Jr

i felt Levi's rage bro

Ron Jackson Jr

Why does there have to be some huge reveal or twist to make it worthwhile to watch? I never watched the OVAs on my first time watching because some weren't made yet, AND I didn't even know they existed until after season 3. I enjoyed them regardless.

TheSauceGuy

or beast in s2ep1 lol

TheSauceGuy

You are arguing semantics now. All I’m saying is that if they watch the ova after season 3 then the entire reveal of the ova will then be pointless. One reveal in the ova gettin ruined by season 2 episode 1 doesn’t mean the entire ova is ruined, however the remaining things in that ova will be ruined by the end of season 3 if they decide to watch then.

Sean Carroll

real asf

kaz

This OVA, and whether or not you can trust your comrades and their decisions or trust yourself to take care of it are referenced in S1 when Levi is telling Eren he can transform or not transform and trust what Petra and crew were telling him after Annie appeared and killed scouts - that he can trust them. Levi was like, "hey man you can trust them or you can transform. Nobody knows what either decision will bring, so go ahead and just make a decision". I feel like that interaction is a direct result of this experience from Levi.

Andrew Stuart

Mikasa's OVA is really good. But this one is the best

Uros Vesic

Alex, you are not the only one lol

TheSauceGuy

Season 2 episode 1 makes one of the other reveals in the OVA less impactful too. It does give further information on the titan behavior that I find interesting.

TheSauceGuy

Brigg got the levi cut

DontCare JustDont

Artemipsyche

I didn't recognize Brig because of his outfit at first

S Moonchild

This is so funny

TheSauceGuy

They've got a ton of things they're watching, but considering this is the show they started with, I feel they should prioritize watching all of its material.

TheSauceGuy

I think it's too late to expect A Sudden a Visitor and Distress, which is unfortunate, but they're more just some fun extra material for fans. We should still get Ilse's Notebook and all three Lost Girls OVAs though.

TheSauceGuy

I'd like to at least know why they're "unsure" about them.

TheSauceGuy

Ilse's Notebook has more plot significance than No Regrets imo, but they didn't watch it haha. The first two Lost Girls episodes are similar to No Regrets in that they let us learn about the experiences of a character. The final Lost Girls episode is a fever dream, but I absolutely love it. I had so many theories when I first watched it. The other two OVAs are just short side-stories for extra material, but they're still fun imo. I just don't get why they wouldn't want to watch more material for one of their favorite shows of all time.

TheSauceGuy

Well, he doesn't give the ages oftentimes in the actual source material. We know the birthdays of characters from outside haha. I share a birthday with Reiner and the Beast Titan guy.

TheSauceGuy

Or Anakin, the biggest crash out character

TheSauceGuy

I don't get why they put them off in the first place. This seems like a Histories & Lore thing again. I'm unsure how much the other Geks want them to watch the OVAs, but with Histories & Lore, both Jack and McKay (and like everyone paying to watch the show) wanted them to watch them.

TheSauceGuy

Once you’ve got the overall reveal though than the reveal in ilses notebook is pointless. It doesn’t introduce anything that isn’t answered by the end of season 3

Sean Carroll

Who cares if it hits as hard though? It still introduces some interesting concepts, albeit later than would be ideal.

TheSauceGuy

I do like the speech from the OVA, it ties back to the anime really well and gives context to Levi's philosophy about making choices you don't regret. However, I personally don't think it works as a motivator and a catalyst for Levi to continue as a scout or his undying loyalty to Erwin. The dots don't connect quite as well in the OVA, and the viewer is left having to assume the answers. Or worse, because the story demands Levi follow this path, we just have to accept it. In a perfect world, it would've been great to combine the OVA and manga ending together, making this an 11/10 side story.

Tangy

Hey, remember when Cannon hated Levi? 😂

Dani G

Bradlynn is so sensitive and compassionate. 🥺❤️ She and Carter are just made for each other.

Dani G

Hi Mel🩷

Savannah Balderas

I think it’s subtle but the speech, though not *as* good as the manga, still works, if you see my comment on it below.

keyton bush

Well said.

Ollie

It's interesting that you thought that, because I was just thinking how easily Levi could've turned out like "I want to kill every last titan" the same as Eren is. Maybe it's because Erwin was there.

Ollie

Yeeeeeees omg

Mia Malvik

MY FAVORITE

Bradlynn Andrus

this is an amazing suggestion

Bradlynn Andrus

what does this mean 👀

Bradlynn Andrus

I’m begging

Bradlynn Andrus

I'm glad I watched these OADs. I'm agree that it makes more sense to show it after season two even if it doesn't spoil anything. I figured his friends would die. I really liked them though. It's interesting to see Levi when he first started as a scout and then in the current timeliness. I feel like he was a lot like Eren in temperament especially when he went postal on that abnormal titan. It was good to see this side of him and we get now why he seems hardened. He's used to losing people. It's not that he doesn't feel anything he just learns to hide it more. I don't think Hange has a crush on him. I think she admired his skills and I also think she enjoys some drama too. I watched the first two episodes of season three and excited to see the reactions! Are you guys back to doing two or is it now three?

Jenny D

I think every aot OVA except Ilse notebook is better in its manga version, Lost Girls even more so than No Regrets

Azmaing1

love this OVA so much

cris

He’s always been the GOAT. he’s my fave for a reason 😌

El

Erwin does go hard on rewatch, I must admit. Almost feels direspectful that I have him number 2.

Ante

I want to go somewhere else completely different; flip it, have the girls make the guys react to something they like and that they would think would be completely out of their comfort zone. I don’t know what that would be, but the idea is to sort of revisit the “haters react to” early brand of the channel.

LeFlaneur

Damn nothing worse than an anime adaptation cutting out perfect manga material smh.

Mitch

@Sean Carroll found the homophobe

bondbond53

i dont know if im the only one thinking this but a vinland saga re-reaction with the girls would be peak 🔥also cant wait for season 3 of aot, my fav for sure.

astroplace

Yes I left a similar comment!!! In general, I find the AOT manga so much better. Don’t get me wrong, the anime adaptation is amazing with great animation and a top tier OST, but when comparing the two the manga is leagues above (especially season 3 onwards). They started cutting and changing way too many things which ruined lots of the story telling, character dynamics, development and characterization. It’s still really enjoyable, but I always tell ppl who enjoyed the anime that if they want to experience AOT’s storytelling at its peak, read the manga as well! You won’t know how much better it is until you try it. The one thing I’ll give the anime is the changes they made to the ending (the “thank you for becoming…” line was diabolical I’m glad they completely scrapped that 😭)

Nami Swannn

THAT is on a whole other level of devastating

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

Does anyone else prefer the ending from the 'Attack on Titan: No Regrets' spin-off manga instead of the OVA? I feel like it's written much better and actually makes the relationship between Erwin and Levi, and his reason for staying in the scouts more believable. In the manga, Erwin and Levi's final confrontation/conversation is completely different to the OVA. Erwin doesn't insult Levi by calling him 'pathetic' when he is mourning the deaths of Isabel and Farlan after the fight, he's actually a bit more empathetic. He also doesn't give the speech about 'choices' which is the same speech Levi gives to Eren in S1. In the manga, Levi begins to blame himself, his pride and his decision to trust in his comrades, that's when Erwin cuts him off and says "No! It was the fault of the titans!" and proceeds to explain that humanity knows nothing about them, why they exist, why they eat humans etc. and how ignorant humanity is, and if they continue to stay that way and hide within their walls, they'll keep getting eaten (like Isabel and Farlan). He talks about how the eyes of humanity have become clouded and that they choose to remain ignorant of the threat and asks Levi if his eyes have also been clouded, and whether or not he will be satisfied with killing him now and returning to his old life in the underground as a thug. He gives him a choice saying that "From here on out there is no deal..." essentially indicating that Levi is free to leave or stay with them. Erwin finishes off the conversation with "We won't give up on going outside the walls. Fight with the survey corps, Levi! Humanity needs your strength!" I think this version makes Levi's decision to stay in the scouts, along with his loyalty and trust of Erwin much more powerful and believable. Erwin gives him closure on the deaths of his friends, by telling him not to blame himself and that it's not his fault. He helps open his eyes to the bigger picture and the real threat/enemy which are the titans and the real reason why Isabel and Farlan died. This gives him a reason to continue fighting and working alongside the scouts, which is much stronger than the OVA version IMO. In the OVA Erwin gives his 'choices' speech about not letting doubt enter his mind as it can dull/affect his next decision, leading to death and then proceeds to walk away saying he expects Levi to continue following him. From Levi's POV how is that meant to convince him to risk his life to continue working in the scouts? For what reason is he fighting for?

Tangy

Waiting for eighty-peak now

Audreyldo

Damn the rage of levi is one of my fav scene ❤️‍🩹

Audreyldo

Someone tell the gek girls about the Mark of Carter lol.

Niffol

Well no, if they watch it after season 3 than they will have all the mysteries explained to them from the show already so that’s why it won’t hit as hard. If they watch it now than it will still hit hard and especially for the guys

Sean Carroll

The real ones always have known 🤞🏽

Cannon Andrus

💪🏾

Cannon Andrus

I mean depending on when you watch Ilse's notebook, you'll have an entirely new mystery to uncover.

Jann Michael Olarita

Honestly, it would have hit harder if they watched it between seasons 1 & 2. The big reveal is sort of meaningless after we get Connie's mom.

marco

Yeah Sean's right

Ron Jackson Jr

i just like Erwin cuz hes himothy and shows leadership

Ron Jackson Jr

I like all of them tbh but ilse’s notebook definitely makes the most sense to watch when it comes to story but seems like they was eager to watch this one for Levi backstory but hopefully they watch soon.

Caraxes🐐DT

I really hope they see these comments haha. I feel like it was already put off a bit. I’m surprised they didn’t think to do it in the first place as they’ve all seen it before.

Chrissy

Honest opinion, if you guys aren't planning on doing the Ilse's notebook OVA right now or before season 3 ends than don't bother as it will not have the same impact at all once you've finished the season. I personally don't care about the other ones

Sean Carroll

Yeah it needs to be done now if at all because watching that one later will have no impact at all

Sean Carroll

Yep if they watch ilses notebook for example after season 3 than it doesn’t have any impact like it would have if they watched after season 1, even watching it now won’t have the same impact but it’s better than nothing

Sean Carroll

Disgraceful

Sean Carroll

It’s hard to see why Levi would follow Erwin until you realize this. The philosophy of “freedom” and “no regrets” are what drive Levi from here on out. He’s fighting for his fallen comrades, and choosing the path that he believes will leave him with the least possible regret.

keyton bush

I love Erwin’s philosophy and how it changes Levi’s path. “Each decision finds it meaning as the basis for the next decision.” Levi feels guilt for bringing his friends and getting them killed. But Erwin gives him hope. His next choice can give meaning to his previous. He can find solace in their deaths knowing that his decisions led him to a better place. By choosing to follow Erwin, he redeems his mistakes, he chooses to fight for freedom, which is what he and his friends yearned for. By becoming a scout and fighting for humanity, Levi has given meaning to his friends’ lives.

keyton bush

No he's not in my top 5 either but I appreciate how badass he is

Goatchis

"Mikasa would never, she would just step on it" Lmao Bradlynn

marco

Not to be confused with Kan Ki, the most aura filled character to ever exist.

Mitch

Glad to have you onboard!

these comments are amazing I'm so glad i finally joined

pain pfp goes hard, in this ep he kinda looks like chef nicolo w the part ahaha

Braulio Patron

Am I the only person who doesn't have Erwin in their top 5 AoT characters?

Alex Ramirez

Erwin my goAT FR

In season 3 there is a quick flash back to No Regrets

This rewatch is just solidifying Erwin as the GOAT

Brig Andrus

I mean I guess they said maybe later but I don’t know how that would make any sense tbh

Caraxes🐐DT

Yea I don’t know why they choosing to do that later or not even at all…I mean the notebook one shoulda been the first one in my head

Caraxes🐐DT

Right I’m so confused why they didn’t just do this one and the notebook one

Caraxes🐐DT

Elder brother is used to show a sign of respect to a close older male figure

PST3

Bro means brother tho? It's a smoother translation to English than her saying "big brother Levi" or "elder brother Levi" in my opinion lol.

TheSauceGuy

This OVA is so good but so depressing 😭

Ale

Never stops being sad 😭 this OVA is great Levi exposition but one thing it cut from the manga was an absolutely killer Erwin speech at the end. Idk why they cut it, I’m guessing maybe cuz they wanted the focus to stay on Levi? but I still think it deserved to be animated (and I suggest yall check it out cuz Erwin’s the GOAT)

Nami Swannn

They just had to make two really likable/cool characters, and solely to crush our hearts when they get brutally killed. At least I get to see Miche again lol.

TheSauceGuy

Definitely. Also better to watch now while certain recent events are still fresh hopefully. I feel like it looses its importance/impact the longer you leave it.

Chrissy

brig singing birds of a feather ahahaha

Braulio Patron

What the hell? When Levi is killing the abnormal, his eyes are like completely black lol. I forgot about that entirely.

TheSauceGuy

This is the absolute true

Ale

I'm a big Levihan fan tho

wanira 11

It's pretty cool how Levi learned to use ODM gear before even becoming a soldier.

Joydan Bri’an

SPOILERS FOR ADOLESCENCE !! . . . . . . Adolescence is good, the cinematography is amazing. Every episode is shot in only one take, there are no cuts, which really adds to the atmosphere of the show. They focus a lot on the characters, especially his family. It was interesting to see the ripple effect of his actions go to the whole family, his mum and dad were broken. I liked it overall but I was expecting a twist, I felt dissatisfied with the ending, I was left wanting more

Itachi Uchiha

I think people mentioned this OVA after season 1 because it gives insight to Levi's speech to Eren in the forest: that no one knows what will happen and that Eren should choose the choice he would regret the least. Thus, leading to the Levi's squad's death because he "had faith" in them. :(

Betty H

100%

Sam M

"Ani Ki" doesn't mean 'Bro' in Japanese as shown in the subtitles it means 'Elder Brother'

PST3

Thanks GeksDeluxe! The song is kind of a bop honestly! I'm gonna add it to my spotify.

jrnoodles

What do you guys think about adolescence netflix

EmlovesOP

Absolutely true. You haven't really seen aot if you haven't seen Ilse's notebook

Sam M

17:58 Favorite Erwin intro

GreetswithJudgement

Brig looks like such a polite young gentleman here

idcjayyy

You’re thinking of Lost Girls and they probably shouldn’t watch that until S3 tbh Of the three OVA episodes, Ilse is the only one with real lore significance

somg

My goat Levi

Ant just watching

I think they do actually, not for the plot but for character building and give more depth to characters that we haven’t seen much (Annie…), but yes Ilse’s notebook is the absolute one they should watch

Chayma

Apparently, Levi is in his early 30s in the current anime timeline (s3), which would make him mid-to-late 20s when these eps took place. Isayama has never been explicit about his characters ages so it’s a sorta guessing game when it comes to that

Kyra Sun

"Erwin the Meteorologist" has me rolling

Chosos Wife

This

GreetswithJudgement

hot take just watch s3 next lol ignore these people gassing the OVA they serve almost zero purpose other than Ilse's Notebooks lmfao

somg

Uhhh the girls look at the comments, maybe don't say that name

Alex Ramirez

There is so much parallel Between Erwin-Levi relationship and Levi-Eren relationship. Eren made the same decision to trust levi squad during female titan arc.

Chandan

omg wow

A_Daddy Daichi

Rohan

Wouldn’t the notebook one make sense now as well if not more? For the story I mean

Caraxes🐐DT

not a hot take at all, i like no regrets more but notebook is much more important to the plot

EightNights

When is s3 coming?

GD

I wonder why no one ever says anything about the commander's comment about Erwin. He saw right through him, my goat <3

EightNights

Hot take but Notebook OVA is more important to watch than Levi’s OVA

watch orb

Levi screaming will always make me tear up

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

so excited

🔥

Girls if you're wondering who to ship Levi with just know that Erwin is right there

bondbond53

I just now realized Isabel has Killua's VA

bondbond53

True but it doesn’t contradict anything from the main story and adds a good amount of depth to Levi and Erwin

Holy I am EARLY

etheriousrebi

Just wanted to put it out there that No Regrets was *not* written by Isayama. Only one OVA was adapted by a story Isayama wrote and that's "Ilse's Notebook" which in the manga was actually placed right after Trost and before the 57th expedition. Not trying to be a hater just thought that should be a fact that's front and center when thinking about the OVAs. Ultimately none of them are truly vital to the main series nonetheless hope you all enjoyed!
