Begone with the Thunderclap
Rare dub for the dub(bed) version with "Begone with the Thunderclap". Way better than the sub "Vanish with the roar of the thunder".
This is one of the only times you'll catch me believing that the dub did it better.[1] Begone with the thunderclap hits you right in the bones compared to "Vanish with the roar of the thunder".
Kirin was such a great move, especially given all of the tension that had been building about this sibling rivalry.[2]

and pretty much all of DBZ is better dubbed, imo

In my opinion, the Shippuden series should have ended after the Itachi/Pain arc. I thought the reanimation + Kaguya storyline was weak compared to the emotional impact of Itachi's character. Also, I've been obsessed with a song lately, thanks to an AMV I watched.
Personally, I think the writer should have ended the Shippuden series after the Itachi/Pain arc. The reanimation + Kaguya stuff was really weak compared to the emotional payoff of Itachi's character.
I've been listening to this song on repeat the past few days thanks to this amv:[1]
If you want to vibe, play the intro drums on this song and watch this monkey do his thing. It syncs perfectly!

Literally any song on this album makes a banger Naruto v Sasuke fight song:

AoT Top 10 Survey Corp Thoughts
What are the top 10 thoughts of the Survey Corps from Attack on Titan?
Top Ten Trainees from the 104th Training Corps
1. Mikasa Ackerman
2. Reiner Braun
3. Bertolt Hoover
4. Annie Leonhart
5. Eren Yeager
6. Jean Kirstein
7. Marco Bott
8. Connie Springer
9. Sasha Blouse
10. Krista Lenz/Historia Reiss (View Highlight)
Lowkey Eren in the training days was no slouch once he got his gear working. Surprised to see Historia so high on this list, I only remember her getting one confirmed kill?
Also wild that all the Titan Shifters are top 5, and Mikasa out scales all of them.
Not really a surprise though.
• Eren Yeager (Grade A +): “While skills in man-to-man combat and vertical maneuvering are impressive, he’s got a personality problem. He has a textbook impulsive personality. When he gets mad, he can’t see anything around him. Until he gets his emotions under control, he’ll never succeed as a soldier!” (p.33). (View Highlight)
• Mikasa Ackerman (Grade A +): “Mikasa is skilled at understanding what she needs to do in order to accomplish her goals. Her judgement belies her age, surely the result of the many hellish experiences she had as a child. She is an exceptional talent who is unmistakably bound to lead the Corps in the future.” (p.38). (View Highlight)
Armin Arlert (Grade A +): “Not noteworthy in combat and endurance. However, we soldiers are not only about physical strength. The superior intelligence Armin showed in the classroom will surely lead to future victories for humanity as he develops new arms in the Technical Team or serves as a tactical officer.”[1] (p.42). (View Highlight)
• Reiner Braun (Grade A+): “Reiner’s friends put a lot of trust in him,[2] and I can see he has the qualities to unite a team! He’s reliable and brave beyond his years, probably because of his hellish experience in his hometown. I would like to see him grow into a strong future leader of the Survey Corps!” (p.57). (View Highlight)
Bertolt Hoover (Grade A-): “This boy’s problem is his heart! He doesn’t take action on his own, and letting others dictate what you do is a fatal flaw for a soldier! Unless he fixes this habit, he’ll be the first to perish when an operation goes sideways and he has to think on his feet to respond to the unexpected.” (p.59). (View Highlight)
or perhaps leader of the entire army?
probably why eren was so dissapointed
seems pretty suspicious they would draw those shadowy guys in the back![1]
They all got those overly dramatic anime poses too, like:

An amateur is defensive. The professional finds learning (and even, occasionally, being shown up) to be enjoyable; they like being challenged and humbled, and engage in education as an ongoing and endless process. (Location 1334)
at this age, i'll be a contender!
But he has the secret of those people to whom success comes by itself, whether it is due to being born under a lucky star or whether it is magic, or whether he has learned it from the Samanas. He always seems to be playing at business, it never makes much impression on him, it never masters him, he never fears failure, he is never worried about a loss.” (Location 598)
“Do not scold, my dear friend. Nothing was ever achieved by scolding. If a loss has been sustained, I will bear the loss. I am very satisfied with this journey. I have become acquainted with many people, I have become friendly with a Brahmin, children have sat on my knee, farmers have showed me their fields. Nobody took me for a merchant.” (Location 607)
