To You, in 2000 Years: The Fall of Shiganshina, Part 1

I didn't expect it to be so strong and shocking, An episode that makes you goosebumps from start to finish.

This episode is still one of the best episodes for me because it was the beginning of a very great story that made us sympathize with the hero of the story Eren from the first episode .

Very nice and captivating music .

Only the first episode and damn, i already know this shows gonna get gooood

I've seen horrible starts to a series. I've seen great starts to a series. But I've never seen one so I get totally goose bumps, this chapter is totally majestic.

Out of the anime that I've watched, this has to be the best pilot episode I've seen. It's also one of my favorite pilots to any show. I was hooked from the first scene. Just tremendous work all across the board. Great animation, beautiful music, spectacular writing and dialogue, and perfect voice acting from the Japanese cast. It creates an original time and place and puts you right into the atmosphere and in the lives of the characters. The ending sequence is just amazing work. It's such raw emotion and felt so real. This episode was the definition of a hook. Hook, line, and sinker. What an opener. Easy 10/10.

"To you, in 2000 years" is the name of the plot episode. At the time, we didn't even pay attention to that title, because it made no sense. But after all these years, we finally understand. Isiyama, you are a goddamn genius! Please look at the 1st scene of the anime: Eren wakes from a dream. He has seen the future through a dream. NOW in season 4, we know HOW & WHY. He asks mikasa "Why is your hair long?" NOW in season 4, we know WHY. Pay attention to the dream sequence. The 1ST SCENE OF THE FIRST EPSIODE HAD MORE CONTEXT THAN AN WHOLE NORMAL SHOW WOULD HAVE. Go search the net: What does "to you in 2000 years" title name mean? And if you are a manga reader, remember chapter 1of year 2010 and then remember the chapter 120 in last year, 2019. All I can say is... AOT is a GODDAMN MASTERPIECE. AND WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE SEEN THE CLASSIC OF THE MODERN AGE BEING MADE. Not only anime, easily one of the deepest plots in any written fiction
