Anyone did a double-take and thought this was "Kids React To Titan" at first?

Hahaha. I did think that but I figured it had to be teens. Man I must be old I guess this is what "geeking" out is all about when you're a teen. You got one person who's a "sub only" and one "dub only". But that's what you get. I used to be that way but I'm over that now. Hell, I'm watching Z-Gundam, and I just can't get through 50 eps of sci-fi I had no interest in subbed. Yet the subs are turned on with the dub. But this was really funny.

I'd rather see the elders: "Ah, this takes me back to the good old days."

Wow, most of them did know what Attack on Titan was. You have to give them props. But some not so much.

No, Eren's town wasn't named Titan! LoL, that was way to funny.

Have to agree with most of them the best way to describe Attack on Titan is "dramatic". The English trailer was also that.

Everytime the Dub-hater chick spoke i cringed but the others were a bit more level headed. i seriously hate when kids do that cause they are obviously still in that phase of fandom where everything not japanese sucks to them. Funi's gotta be happy about all this free advertising since the BluRays not too far away lol.

I always enjoy these video and this was one of the better ones and since these guys seem to have quite a bit of influence with kids now its good they're promoting a show like this. Now there's gonna be even more newbies lurking around which is always good for the industry.

Well, the English dub is pretty subpar.

Its not their fault that they are not more exposed to anime. Or are more mainstream. They were just reacting.

When I first started out like one of the boys in the video mentioned I also just couldn't stand subtitles because as he put it, short attention span. The words flew by so fast. Got used to it and now enjoy subs more although actually appreciate both subs and dubs!

I am pretty sure this video was just to see what reaction would be for most people newly exposed to Attack on Titan.

I was talking about that one girl in particular. Also, she is clearly very exposed to anime.

On another note. I really like how that boy pointed out that people will bash anime for being kiddy yet go watch Frozen 10 times.

Hey brah, why does it have to be a phase? Why can't it just be a standard preference to watch shows in their native language? Your condensending attitude is not very welcome, and despite your implication of you being elightened, you sound more closeminded than any of these children do.
