Attack on Titan Jr. High: Episode 2 FULL LENGTH Reaction!
Added 2022-04-26 13:00:05 +0000 UTCLINK TO REACTION IN YOUTUBE VIDEO DESCRIPTION!
**WHOLESOME HEADPHONE WARNINGS!**
I forgot to edit it in, but thank you to these individuals for letting me know about Nack and Milleus: @Audric and @rei
Who knew Armin was so cold-natured, needed a Futon, or that Reiner had such ridiculously large pecs?! But also, Eren this episode. Just. Give me some inadvertent heartache as we see our protagonist happy, with his best friends, and so high-spirited. These sure were good days, weren't they?
This episode has a TON of intentional and perhaps unintentional tie-ins to Seasons 2, 3, and 4 that it's sort of insane! Easter may be over, but I feel I'm finding easter eggs all across this series so far, and I LOVE IT!
Thank you for watching with me and for all the support!

2022-05-01 03:56:45 +0000 UTCOohhhhhh!!! I was always more on the communications/literature side of Communications/English than linguistics, so that is fascinating! That's awesome about having your PhD in it, though! NICE! Thank you for the information!! Also, the Oxford Comma = Necessary ;) No matter what anyone says! :P

2022-04-29 17:33:26 +0000 UTCRe: 'Singeki', the official government romanization does not contain the letter combination 'shi'. The logic is that all consonant-vowel combinations appear (save for some combinations with 'w' that no longer appear in modern Japanese), so to highlight this internal structure, that romanization uses sa-si-su-se-so for the s vowels. 'si' is not actually pronounced /si/ though, but /ʃi/, i.e. the /s/ has become palatalized (I'd assume this is a language change, probably an assimilation to require less effort to enunciate - English in some dialects/words has a similar shift). The Hepburn-based romanizations therefore have 'shi' for this sound, as this way of writing the syllable fits closer to how it would be pronounced in English orthography, and is therefore more intuitive for westerners, at the cost of obscuring the systematic structure of the syllabary. The same applies to 'tu' which is another way of writing 'tsu', and 'ti' which is another way of writing 'chi'. as well as the derived sounds like 'tya' for 'cha' and 'syo' for 'sho', and their diacritic variants (which can get complicated as sometimes several distinct syllables can end up with the same romanization in Hepburn) Basically, 'ti' is always the same as 'chi', 'si' is always the same as 'shi' (with the exception of particular katakana used to transcribe foreign loan words into Japanese), and "ty" and "sy" can always be replaced with "ch" and "sh" respectively (plus a few more like "du"). So "singeki" is just another way of writing "shingeki", just like "Takesi Akiduki" would be another way of writing the name "Takeshi Akizuki". It's just individual preference or house style. (Somewhat similar to whether to use the Oxford comma in English, it's still the same sentence, just written differently). (Takes off language PhD hat, sorry for nerding out lol)

2022-04-26 14:51:45 +0000 UTCI haven't really watched AoT Jr. High with attention to detail before, so here's something else I just picked up on. Connie's line about fried chicken is probably a reference to his VA, who is an actual fried chicken (karaage) connoisseur. There's a video out there of him taste testing karaage blindfolded, and he can recognize different brands by taste, it's pretty wild (and kind of hilarious).

2022-04-26 14:34:12 +0000 UTCSame with Eren's line about the Scouts seeking change - I'm pretty sure that was also from ep 15.

2022-04-26 14:30:04 +0000 UTCThe line Petra said to Oluo is actually very similar to what she said in the main series. The first time Oluo bites his tongue (S1ep15), he's acting cocky after the fact, and Petra directly tells him she wishes he bit through his tongue and died. That was just their dynamic, but of course she doesn't really mean that.
