And that wasn't in the manga?

漫畫裡沒有嗎？

The sheer ferocity this show comes after you with is nothing short of astonishing, and with part 2 of the final season being aired right now, the hype is incredible.

這部劇的凶猛程度令人震驚，而最後一季的第二部分正在播出，炒作效果令人難以置信。

But to get to that hype level, it had to build from somewhere.

但要達到這種炒作水準，必須從某個地方開始。

So that brings us to the question, how did Attack on Titan become the greatest anime of our generation?

那麼問題來了，《攻殼機動隊》是如何成為我們這一代最偉大的卡通片的呢？

Well this is how.

這就是方法。

I think one of the most frustrating parts about Attack on Titan is trying to convince someone to watch it without giving anything up.

我認為《攻殼機動隊》最令人頭疼的地方之一就是如何說服別人在不放棄任何東西的情況下觀看它。

You tell them the basic premise of the story and they think, okay, this seems cool.

你告訴他們故事的基本前提，他們會想，好吧，這似乎很酷。

People just trying to defeat these giant monsters to survive.

人們只是想打敗這些巨大的怪獸生存下去。

Sounds like it could be decent.

聽起來可能不錯。

But little do they know, they're walking into an intricately woven world and story that you think initially is pretty simple, but it's so much more.

但他們不知道，他們正在走進一個錯綜複雜的世界和故事，你最初以為這很簡單，但其實遠不止如此。

The build ups, payoffs, the foreshadowing, the heart wrenching plot twist, psychological and political warfare, trauma, identity crisis, extreme prejudice and racism, complex themes, time manipulation, all while listening to this banger ass soundtrack man.

這些情節的鋪墊、結局、預示、令人揪心的情節轉折、心理戰和政治戰、創傷、身份危機、極端偏見和種族主義、複雜的主題、時間操縱，所有這些都是在聽這首超棒的配樂的同時發生的。

Like god damn man, I'm feeling so many emotions when I'm seeing this and listening to this music.

天哪，當我看到這一幕，聽著這首音樂時，我感慨萬千。

I just want to be like Why are you comfortable with me?

我只是想說，為什麼你和我在一起很舒服？

So to find the answer to this question, we need to go all the way back.

是以，要找到這個問題的答案，我們需要回溯歷史。

Back to the very beginning.

回到最開始。

In 2006, a young Hajime Isayama wrote a one shot called Attack on Titan.

2006 年，年輕的 Hajime Isayama 創作了一部名為《攻殼機動隊》的單行本。

This one shot was the very beginning.

這一個鏡頭是最開始的。

The beginning of the journey that would take us to where Attack on Titan is as we know it today.

這是《攻殼機動隊》的起點，也是我們今天所瞭解的《攻殼機動隊》的起點。

A young man with an idea and a passion became the author of one of the most insane and complicated stories I've ever experienced.

一個有想法、有激情的年輕人成為了我經歷過的最瘋狂、最複雜的故事的作者之一。

Like my god.

就像我的上帝。

I truly wonder what the inner workings of this man's mind is like.

我真不知道這個人的內心世界是怎樣的。

I really just can't comprehend how he came up with this complicated shit because I can hardly come up with the words to say for this freaking video.

我真的不明白他是怎麼想出這麼複雜的東西的，因為我幾乎都想不出該用什麼詞來形容這個該死的視頻。

Isayama brought us a completely fresh and never before seen experience with Attack on Titan.

諫山為《攻殼機動隊》帶來了前所未有的全新體驗。

And I want to bring up a point my guy Thoughts from Shivam mentioned in his latest YouTube video.

我想提一下我的朋友希瓦姆-索思（Thoughts from Shivam）在他最新的 YouTube 視頻中提到的一點。

And it's that almost every new generation manga or anime seems to be heavily inspired by one of its predecessors.

而且，幾乎每一部新一代漫畫或動畫似乎都深受其前輩的啟發。

While this is totally valid and completely okay, Attack on Titan completely breaks this mold.

雖然這完全有道理，也完全沒問題，但《攻殼機動隊》完全打破了這一模式。

And because he had such an innovative story and didn't follow most of the stereotypical shounen tropes, Isayama failed to get the attention of Shounen Jump.

由於他的故事非常新穎，而且沒有遵循大多數千篇一律的青春片套路，所以諫山創沒能引起《Shounen Jump》的注意。

In 2009, he officially started publishing Attack on Titan as we know it today in Kodansha Monthly Magazine.

2009 年，他在《講談社月刊》上正式開始出版我們今天所知的《攻殼機動隊》。

It gained insane popularity and eventually received an anime adaptation and that brings us to the very beginning of the anime in 2013.

這部卡通片獲得了極高的人氣，並最終被改編成卡通片。

Before we get any further into the video, it would be super cool if you guys would smash that like button and subscribe if you're new.

在我們進一步觀看視頻之前，如果你們是新來的，請點擊 "喜歡 "按鈕並訂閱，那將會非常酷。

Wit Studio and director Tetsuo Araki brought us season 1 of Attack on Titan anime.

Wit Studio 和荒木哲夫導演為我們帶來了卡通片《攻殼機動隊》第一季。

And when I say they took the world by storm, I mean they took the world by storm.

當我說他們風靡全球時，我的意思是他們風靡全球。

Wit Studio was a relatively new and unknown commodity until they legitimately smashed it out of the park with season 1 of Attack on Titan.

在《攻殼機動隊》（Attack on Titan）第一季播出之前，Wit Studio 還是一個名不見經傳的新人。

From the moment you start watching, whether you realize it or not, you are being fed insane foreshadowing.

從你開始觀看的那一刻起，無論你是否意識到，你都被灌輸了瘋狂的預示。

And along with that, on EPISODE FUCKING 1, there is already a crazy mind breaking twist.

與此同時，在他媽的第一集裡，就已經出現了一個讓人匪夷所思的轉折。

I think having a strong and impactful episode 1 was one of the biggest things that helped catapult Attack on Titan to stardom.

我認為，《攻殼機動隊》第一集的震撼力和衝擊力是讓它一舉成名的最大原因之一。

These days, if you can't capture people's attention early, they won't really continue to be invested.

如今，如果不能及早吸引人們的注意力，他們就不會真正持續投入。

And honestly, I really don't understand how it got that way.

老實說，我真的不明白為什麼會變成這樣。

Throughout season 1, we get introduced to every main character and every not-so-main character.

在第一季中，我們認識了所有主要角色和非主要角色。

As we learn the characters, we learn their motivations, mannerisms, and abilities.

在瞭解人物的過程中，我們也瞭解了他們的動機、舉止和能力。

Another impressive feat is being able to seamlessly introduce and integrate all these complex characters without it feeling oversaturated or without some being left by the wayside.

另一個令人印象深刻的壯舉是能夠無縫引入和整合所有這些複雜的角色，而不會讓人感覺過於飽和，也不會讓一些角色被冷落。

As the story progresses, we are constantly presented with questions we want answers to.

隨著故事的發展，我們會不斷遇到一些問題，希望得到答案。

How did Eren get his titan form?

伊倫的泰坦形態是怎麼來的？

Who's the main traitor?

誰是主要叛徒？

What's in the basement?

地下室裡有什麼？

Who's outside the walls?

牆外是誰？

Why are there titans in the walls?

為什麼牆上會有泰坦巨人？

Why are titans trying to eat people when they don't actually need to?

為什麼泰坦不需要吃人，卻要吃人？

For me especially, having plot points I want to discover keeps me interested and captivated throughout the entire series.

特別是對我來說，有了我想發現的情節點，就能讓我對整個系列充滿興趣，併為之著迷。

It's amazing because even in the beginning stages of this story, you can see the immense detail and care injected into this narrative.

令人驚歎的是，即使是在故事的開頭階段，你也能看到故事中注入的大量細節和關懷。

Part of the beauty of Attack on Titan is that we DO have all these questions, but we also aren't spoon-fed all the answers.

攻殼機動隊》的魅力之一在於，我們確實有這些問題，但我們也不會被灌輸所有的答案。

Everything is naturally discovered through the progression of the story or heavily foreshadowed enough for us to put the pieces together ourselves.

一切都會在故事的發展過程中自然而然地發現，或者有大量的預示，足以讓我們自己把碎片拼湊起來。

And while that is some of the most enjoyable parts, it's also pretty cool when they just shove the crazy fucking plot twist straight into our face.

雖然這是最令人愉快的部分，但當他們把瘋狂的情節轉折直接推到我們面前時，也是非常酷的。

To this day, I can watch this clip over and over and still get goosebumps.

時至今日，我仍能反覆觀看這個片段，並起雞皮疙瘩。

Being able to have such an impactful and timeless moment like this is another reason why Attack on Titan is CEMENTED into my top anime forever.

能有這樣一個具有衝擊力的永恆時刻，也是《攻殼機動隊》能永遠成為我心目中的頂級卡通片的另一個原因。

The amount of times I've seen a recorded reaction to this specific moment just goes to show how amazing it truly is, but the craziest part was this was just a baby plot twist in comparison to what comes later.

我曾多次看到記錄下這一特定時刻的反應，這足以說明它是多麼令人驚歎，但最瘋狂的是，與後面的情節相比，這只是一個小插曲。

I'm not going to go into detail about every single one of these twists, but instead, I'm going to quickly list them out for you so you can remember and truly understand how densely packed this narrative is with immaculate storytelling.

我不會詳細介紹其中的每一個轉折，而是會快速地為你列出它們，這樣你就能記住並真正理解這部敘事有多麼密集，故事有多麼完美。

Starting from the beginning, we have Eren being a titan, Annie being the female titan, Titans being inside the walls, Zeke exists, Ymir was a titan too, Reiner and Bertholdt were also titans, Historia was secretly a royal family, Mikasa and Levi were secretly part of a clan of super soldiers, Eren also has the founding titan, Zeke is actually Eren's brother, the founding titan can manipulate memories, there's an entire advanced civilization outside the walls and they created the roaming titans, all of the titans came from one titan, Eren was secretly hiding in Marley waiting to attack, Eren's titan can see future memories and he can manipulate certain events through these fucking memories.

從一開始，我們就知道埃倫是泰坦，安妮是女泰坦，泰坦在城牆內，澤克存在，伊米爾也是泰坦，萊納和貝托爾特也是泰坦，希斯托利亞是祕密的皇室，三笠和列維是祕密的超級戰士部族，埃倫還有創始泰坦，澤克其實是埃倫的哥哥、創始泰坦可以操縱記憶，城牆外有整個先進文明，他們創造了漫遊泰坦，所有泰坦都來自一個泰坦，伊倫祕密躲在馬利等待進攻，伊倫的泰坦可以看到未來的記憶，他可以通過這些該死的記憶操縱某些事件。

So, not only does this show have S-tier quality writing, it's also one of the most well-produced pieces of animation I've ever experienced.

是以，這部劇不僅擁有 S 級品質的編劇，還是我經歷過的製作最精良的卡通片之一。

Wit Studio came into this shit with the animation flexing on maximum overdrive, there was never any moments from season 1 to season 3 where I wasn't getting aroused from the beauty of the sakuga that was being put on the screen, and on top of that amazing fucking animation, we have the best anime score of all time.

從第一季到第三季，我從沒有一刻不被螢幕上的朔賀之美所撩撥，而在這令人驚歎的動畫之外，我們還有有史以來最棒的動畫配樂。

I'm telling you right now, this man Hiroyuki Sawano crafted and concocted the purest form of audio drugs because I am fully addicted.

我現在就告訴你，這個叫澤野博之的男人制作和調製了最純粹的音頻毒品，因為我已經完全上癮了。

My name is Gloria, I am 28 years old, and my addiction is Hiroyuki Sawano.

我叫格洛麗亞，今年 28 歲，我的癮君子是澤野浩之。

I can literally gush for days on how the OST is absolute perfection, and when I say this, I mean it wholeheartedly.

我可以滔滔不絕地講上好幾天，說這首 OST 絕對是完美的，我說這話是真心實意的。

Hiroyuki Sawano is the Hans Zimmer of anime.

澤野博之是動漫界的漢斯-齊默。

His epic and sinister style is the perfect compliment to the unhinged atmosphere of Attack on Titan, but that's not all he can do.

他史詩般的陰險風格是對《攻殼機動隊》不正常氛圍的完美讚美，但這並不是他的全部能力。

When the story gets more positive and motivational, he hits you yet again with another banger-ass rock song that could get you more hyped than C-Dog VA when he talks about monkeys or bidets.

當故事變得更加積極和勵志時，他又用另一首狂熱的搖滾歌曲打動了你，這首歌能讓你比 C-Dog VA 談論猴子或坐便器時還要興奮。

Let's go!

我們走吧

Start!

開始

Now, while on the topic of the soundtrack, when the final season was passed from Wit Hiroyuki Sawano's protege, Koto Yamamoto, took over most of the OST composition.

說到配樂，當最後一季從 Wit 澤野弘之手中傳出時，他的門徒山本耕史接手了大部分 OST 的創作。

And while I still do prefer Sawano's tracks, I cannot deny that this man Yamamoto made one of the most intense and iconic themes in all of the anime.

雖然我還是更喜歡澤野的曲子，但我不能否認山本製作了所有動畫中最強烈、最具標誌性的主題之一。

And on the topic of themes, the beginning of the final season had a drastic change in themes, tone, setting, and characters.

說到主題，最後一季的開頭在主題、基調、背景和人物方面都發生了巨大的變化。

Entering the endgame of the story, why would Isayama change everything up?

進入故事的尾聲，諫山為何要改變一切？

It definitely took a second to get used to, but getting to see the perspective of the quote-unquote enemies really makes you feel like there is no true right or wrong in this story.

這肯定需要一秒鐘的時間來適應，但看到引號敵人的視角確實讓你覺得這個故事沒有真正的對錯之分。

And everyone has equally done horrible things.

每個人都同樣做過可怕的事情。

This season emphasizes the true meaning and downfalls of war.

這一季強調了戰爭的真正意義和弊端。

We get to see, if presented in a different perspective, how characters like Gabi, who are direct parallels to Eren, can be vehemently hated, just because we followed the perspective of one character in the entire story instead of the other.

我們可以看到，如果換一個視角，像加比這樣與埃倫直接相似的角色，是如何被強烈憎恨的，而這僅僅是因為我們在整個故事中跟隨了一個角色的視角，而不是另一個角色的視角。

Still fuck Gabi though.

不過還是去他媽的加比。

Now, while I do still prefer Wit Studio's adaptation, MAPPA is absolutely killing it.

現在，雖然我還是更喜歡維特工作室的改編，但 MAPPA 絕對是大殺四方。

These last few episodes of this season have been absolute 10 out of 10 banger episodes.

這一季的最後幾集絕對是十全十美的精彩劇集。

This is the type of quality that I've always known Attack on Titan for and MAPPA is definitely delivering.

我一直都知道《攻殼機動隊》具有這樣的品質，而 MAPPA 絕對做到了這一點。

Now, all this being said, is Attack on Titan really the greatest anime of our generation?

綜上所述，《攻殼機動隊》真的是我們這一代最偉大的卡通片嗎？

Well, to be honest, that's up to your opinion, but in my opinion, it 100% is.

老實說，這取決於你的看法，但在我看來，百分之百是這樣。

If you watched this entire video all the way to this point, you're the GOAT.

如果你把整個視頻看完了，那你就是最棒的。

Due to the nature of the way I make videos, I have to write them, script them, edit them, film them, all this stuff, so it takes me a while to put them together.

由於我製作視頻的工作性質，我必須撰寫視頻、編寫腳本、剪輯視頻、拍攝視頻，所有這些工作都要做，所以我需要一段時間才能完成。

So, I'm going to ask you, if you enjoyed this video, please share it with a friend, put it on Reddit, tweet it out, do something, because I just want to keep growing my channel and it's really hard to when I only post once every couple of weeks.

所以，我想請大家，如果你喜歡這個視頻，請分享給朋友，放到 Reddit 上，在推特上轉發，做一些事情，因為我只是想繼續發展我的頻道，而我每隔幾周才發佈一次，這真的很難。

And if you want more juicy, sweet content like this video right here, maybe check out my, uh, you know, 2021 YouTube video, or even the Mushoku Tensei one.

如果你想看更多像這段視頻一樣多汁、甜美的內容，也許可以看看我的，呃，你知道的，2021 YouTube 視頻，甚至是《武石天師》的視頻。

Anyway, guys, it's been K Corbanime, thank you so much for watching, we'll see you in the next one.
