Shingeki Season 4 Update & 4x5 Update
🕑 Added 2021-02-05 15:06:48 +0000 UTCHello everyone ✌🏼had a couple of updates for Shingeki
So it was always my intent to be caught up with the most recent episode at some point, if the opportunity presented itself. There is a window of opportunity to record two episodes a week at the moment, which is why the schedule changed up a bit. So there’s a good chance I can potentially be caught up to the most recent episode or at least within one episode of the most recently aired. I don’t have any set release days for any extra episodes just yet, but I certainly want to take this opportunity to record two a week. So at some point this month, there will be multiple early access videos in a week ✌🏼
4x5 Early Access Discussion portion
So I tried a new method starting with this video, I set myself a video length target, and honestly speaking, it wasn’t a good idea. I was watching the footage back and I feel like that I have so much more to say and ideas I want to explore much further. So much so that I would like to record a part 2 for this discussion and add it to this video before releasing it. It was terrible idea to set myself a video length, certainly one and done with that.
So I plan on recording part 2 to this discussion later today and will have it up for you guys on a Sunday. I know it’s disappointing news but I just don’t feel like this discussion portion is as comprehensive as it could be, and should be, so much more I want to explore. Hopefully the news from the first part of this update can offset the disappointment a bit. Full Length and full opacity will go up today.
As always, Thank you.

No one's going to begrudge you taking a little longer to release the 4x5 discussion. Like the basement (and considering this is a literal second basement of sorts), this is a watershed moment in the narrative; there's so much to unpack - so many juxtapositions, imagery, implications to cover that I am so happy that you want to spend more time in it. And what's that about having an extra episode in the next weeks? It seems like we're in for a real treat :)

too cool
Raykel
If there is a part 2

As a manga reader I really do enjoy your discussion as it relates to me so much when I first saw these chapters, I can’t wait to see what scenarios and ideas you have!
Armin Arlert
Can't wait for your reaction of the next episodes!
Rich
Wow, it's literally been my dream for a scenario where you could catch up to us at some point. You are amazing, thank you so much for your content.

The greatest challenge to not get spoiled will be between Part 1 and Part 2 of this season.

What was your idea with setting up a time limit for yourself? You must have had something specific in mind with that, right? I can only speak for my personal experience with your videos but I’m never ever annoyed or anything similar with the length of your discussion. They were and still are my favorite part of your videos. I love listening to your thoughts and I’m always happy to listen to your ideas and theories. For me, that is what makes your videos worthwhile (on a sidenote. Your reactions to the episode themselves are also a treat, as your reactions usually tend to play out a little different than others :) )

So excited to hear your discussion on this great great episode and to wait a few days won't change a thing. Thanks a lot for this amazing content you putting out.

Oh man deciding to set a limit on video length especially with this specific episode was a big no no lmao glad you decided to cast aside that plan, we want all the juicy discussion we can get!
Scratch the 1-2 hours earlier sometimes part, sometimes it's 5 hours earlier like just now with 4x5. I won't complain.
His timezone's EST and his uploads usually hover around 9 PM EST. If you're in Europe you'll get his AoT uploads at like 3 AM on Saturday most of the time, maybe 1-2 hours earlier or later sometimes.

Thank you mate! I just thought thats not going to happen looking at the current time :)
He answers that at the end of this post : "Full Length and full opacity will go up today."

I can avoid the YouTube and social media stuff and all that as I said I'm trying my best. The few spoilers I have seen came out of nowhere without context in places I didn't not expect to get spoiled about anime. Just random quotes or references from Manga readers, but I put stuff together. Some S3 stuff I knew when S2 aired and some from the current season when S3 part 2 aired. Luckily all the stuff already happened so I'm going into the new eps blind but I will always be scared until the end of the anime. It never ruined the experience or the overall impact but I felt it.
Marcin Wojcik
My first post here, amazing news. Is 4x5 Full lenght coming today?
Raghav
Oh my god the thought of you being caught up makes me so damn happy! Can't wait!!
LEX the Lexicon Artist
I'm curious as to how he's able to avoid titles of the episodes, considering they are shown in the episodes themselves?
LEX the Lexicon Artist
i completely avoid twitter and youtube on Sunday until I watch. it's really annoying
LEX the Lexicon Artist
That's exactly what it is! the one and only AoT podcast worth the time
LEX the Lexicon Artist
FILMBUFF CATCHING UP HYYYYYYYPE!!! Don't mind you releasing the discussion on Sunday, 4x5 is a damn meaty episode! Never time limit yourself again - it just means you're putting a cap on your own great insights!
Muhd Zulhilmi
Lol even Im cannot contain Im. I do think it’s better to let your thoughts flow rather than set a time limit. Though I can also see having a set length being easier in the editing end.
I already told him to avoid both a week ago, no worries about stuff like that.
zeldro
What time will Full Opacity & Full Length drop?
Will Watches
I’m pumped to get multiple a week and have you basically caught up, I can see why you tried to limit the discussion as I imagine it must be a slog to edit such long discussions. Also, I’d recommend trying to avoid the episode titles for some of the upcoming ones, especially episode 6 and 8 they’re quite spoilery ✌️
Fukurou
I couldn't have said it better myself. Also ep 5 is my favorite as well :)
Fukurou
I usually don't even open youtube at Sundays because I know there will be a clip of the next episode before it even releases :'/
Fukurou
for real, I think he is the only "professional" Shingeki reactor I've seen so far. This guy never disappoints.
Annatar
It was worth a shot! Looking forward to the discussion but no rush, quality over expedience every time!
Mathieu Phannavong
For real tho, he's on some another level
Candy Z
This actually works out for me since I'm swamped with midterms this weekend and this way I won't be tempted to binge your discussion today 😅 glad to hear your goals abt catching up too!!
MikeBlue16
I think most of us really enjoy the discussion part precisely because of how you manage to cover every aspect of the episode in detail, no matter how much it takes, be it 20 minutes or almost 2 hours, you talk about everything needed and that's so great about it
Mati D.
Please don't set a length, we watch you and support you exactly for your thought and how deep it can be, shortening that would take out a very important and essential part of your reactions. Can't wait for this ep, my favorite so far in S4...
Philipp Bruche
Sorry didn't saw the last sentence 😅
Lupercus
It was a noble goal of you to try and meet, but you had the most unlucky timing in terms with what episode 5 contains and how incredibly hard it would be to keep any discussion about it in any such timeframe! Don't worry yourself too much - doubling the uploads is more than enough of a representation of your commitment to this series. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see your reactions+discussions!
Tsar bomba noble
I work 10-11 hour shifts 24/7 and I usually listen to music to help with my work flow but this past week I’ve been listening to your discussion and such since season 1, it’s oddly relaxing, you also have good theories and insight on the series filmbuff, keep it up
Steve Bachman
Always glad to wait for your top notch discussion no matter how long you take. Take your time brother 👍
Tsar bomba noble
Double the upload double the fun, I hope you enjoyed them too!
Vax Merstappen
Glad to hear I just really want you to catch up so you can avoid as many spoilers as possible. It is really hard I'm trying my hardest and I still sometimes see glimpses of things I shouldn't I hope you didn't get spoiled one of the biggest drawbacks of anime.
Philipp Bruche
Thats the difference between you and other reactors. They just want views and upload a reaction as fast as possible, even if its crap. We'll wait gladly!
MonkeyTrouble
Let's goooooo!
Oppai Master
I really am just as excited for your reaction as the actual episodes
Sarah S
I love the long discussions! It’s legit like listening to an AOT podcast.
Diego E Gonzalez
There’s no way I’d be disappointed but i’m excited to get a bonus discussion part later on 😊
ming
Definitely understand that, episode 5 just has so many things to discuss. I can definitely wait for a super long discussion!
Philipp Bruche
Will the reaction still come at normal time?
Raykel
Thats right 🤟

Aye, exited about those double uploads! About the discussion part, it’s all good man. It’s all about trial and error and trying new things out. This happened to just not work out. This episode is gonna be hype!
