“Guren no Yumiya” Full and Not a Shinjuku Center Bootleg

There you go. It doesn’t contain REVO’s glorious visage, but now you’ll actually be able to hear and understand what’s going on in the song. For instance, in that Shinjuku camera recorded version, I didn’t pick up on the organ between the first chorus and when the song shifts it’s vocal tone. The second half of the song gets very different from the original that launched 1,000 AMVs. It almost feels like another song sneaked into the middle there. It’s different that what I would have envisioned just listening to the TV version. Not bad. I wonder if Titan Fad #8 will come up out of this one or if we have to wait for the next OP.

“You Thought the One Who Broke Down Wall Maria was the Colossal Titan…”

This is, according to the video, the full version of the Attack on Titan opening, “Guren no Yamiya” by Linked Horizon. Those of you coming in fresh may have seen the OP and gotten totally pumped for some sweet, giant busting action based on the powerful opening sequence. I know I did. Then the show revealed its true colors and let us know we weren’t getting any sweet, rocket/grappling hook belt vs. titan fights unless it got to smack us around and scare us straight with monster designs first.

Oh, that face is never going away

But that song is a really good pump up song. So let’s say you did want it for that without having to watch a mother on her way to a digestive system.

Now this is a crossover I can get behind. Well, JoJo’s is a lot more standard in it’s shonen tone, but I could get into a scene of Jotaro getting picked up by a 15m class, then, with an annoyed attitude, having Star Platinum uppercutting it through the palate causing the head to explode. That wouldn’t really fit with the tone of Attack on Titan in the slightest. The song meshes pretty well into the Phantom Blood opening sequence, though.

I wonder if there are any other JoJo + “Show X” mash-ups.

Huh. Well then.
