Let’s be honest, guys, it was only a matter of time before this one came up. Attack on Titan is sensationally popular and its OP is pretty fantastic too. If the purpose of an opening sequence is to get people excited for the episode to come then Guren no Yumiya reigns supreme; it’s practically unskippable.
Unfortunately, the full song isn’t nearly as good as the portion of it that’s played during the OP. Thankfully i’ve found a version that’s much more enjoyable…and it just happens to be the opening repeated twice.
Dadada dadada JAEGER! Dadadadada Dadadada

Now I want to go watch Attack on Titan again, but I know I don’t have time, so I’ll resist. When people ask me what my favorite anime OP is, this is the first answer to pop into my mind. It fits the show wonderfully, and it’s even exciting on its own. ^_^
I keep a select few opening videos in my collection and this is one of them, so I know what you mean!
So good. Want more. 2nd season…. myerrr!
I got all excited about seeing a new Attack on Titan trailer yesterday…but it turned out it was for a game =/
But… a game could still be really cool.
True, though I doubt we’ll ever get to play it >.<
Do you read the manga as well?
I’ve always found it funny that Shingeki no Kyojin’s most iconic picture, of Eren with dual swords drawn, in a town ablaze, facing the Colossal Titan looming over the walls – is really misleading. It never appears in the actual series, and Eren isn’t skilled or cool enough to live up to the picture’s implications, that here is a badass capable of soling gods.
I haven’t read the manga, though I feel differently about the picture. Sure, Eren isn’t the amazing fighter that one might think he is from the way it portrays him, but he certainly stands up to titans in that same manner. It tells me that he’s not afraid to oppose them, more than that he will actually win XD
I don’t know why but there also seems to be a lot of fanmade version of the OP, lol. Maybe it’s really “fanmade-able”.
Probably because of just how darned popular it is =P
