How important is the music on a show?

The answer is simple: VERY important. Attack on Titan is great because of the plot alone, but I couldn't imagine the show without its phenomenal soundtrack. From the combat music to the opening songs, each piece contains something unforgettable and unique. 

10. Apple Seed 

The song that played during Bertholdt’s transformation into the Colossal Titan. It’s full of excitement and confusion, as the shy kid turns into a (literally) giant threat to humanity.

9. The Owl Theme

Eren Kruger’s song when he announced that he is indeed, “The Owl”. The highs and lows of this instrumental are both shocking and adrenaline-boosting– making this the perfect theme song for such a short-lived, influential character.

8. Season 1 Opening Song

Need I say more? This song pumps nostalgia into my veins, it’s something I will never forget. Possibly one of the greatest anime intros of all time. “Are we the prey? No, we are the hunters” – perfection. 

7. Vogel im Käfig

One of those songs you hear during high-intensity moments throughout season 1. It plays whenever Eren’s mother gets eaten and also when Eren turns into the Attack Titan to fight the Female Titan. It genuinely makes the scenes better, although they are still amazing on their own. 

6. Ymir and Historia’s Song

A love song for a relationship that was fated to end way too soon. The lyrics are enchantingly sad, as they tell a story of two lovers who just couldn’t change the future to be together.

5. Season 2 Opening Song

This song sounds like war, Titan battles, and sweet innocence. When we still didn’t know the true enemies of the show and we were just excited to see Titans getting their necks slashed open. 

4. Season 1 Outro Song

If you’re completely caught up to the final season, give this outro a rewatch. You’d be surprised to learn how much foreshadowing both the song and visuals contain. 

3. ətˈæk 0N tάɪtn

If you know, you know. A masterpiece. The creepy, mysterious violin. The EMOTIONS in this song are far too complex for words. This is another song that will be a part of us Attack on Titan fans until we die. 

2. Final Season - Part Two Outro Song

What an emotional rollercoaster we are on with this outro. It’s focused solely on Eren, his character development, and the decisions he has to make moving forward. Some say that this song is his message to Mikasa’s outro from season 1 (#4 on this list).

1. Final Season - Part Two Opening Song

Jaw-dropping. Rage inducing. Top-tier anime opening. Absolutely unforgettable. You can hear and feel the anger in this song, giving you that final season ~rumbling~ feeling. When Eren screams at the same time the song does towards the end– I was immediately in love. As bittersweet as it may be, this song is my favorite Attack on Titan opener to date.
