I am currently re-watching Attack on Titan, with my oldest kiddo, from the beginning. Watching AOT has been a tradition for us since he was in high school. Since it’s been so long, my son thought I should get a refresher on it before tackling the final season.

Currently, we are early into season 3 and MAN do I love this opening song “Red Swan” by YOSHIKI featuring HYDE & SUGIZO.

So far, I love all of the AOT openings. They all have their special theme and flavor. This one really hits an emotional nerve for me.

“Red Swan” perfectly captures the feeling of the series at this point. as the show really digs into the childhood trauma of the characters. It’s hauntingly beautiful, sad, and inspiring.
