The flare system is an important long-distance communication method for the scouts to warn each other of impending Titan attacks on outside expeditions.
With a shot of white doves leading into shots of the Scout Regiment firing up their flares placed over a wide shot of the country landscape, this opening starts with a callback to these visually important aspects of the plot. Jiyuu no Tsubasa does extremely well in a number of areas. Basically, the Attack on Titan anime nails the sound department quite thoroughly. With several songs that long lull you into a sense of security before hitting you with a rush of fast-paced and exciting music, there’s no other type of music I could see possibly fitting with Attack on Titan’s ridiculously well-made anime. Speaking of the soundtrack, AoT’s original soundtrack is a masterpiece in itself. I’m not a music expert by any means, but the poignant and stirring melodies are engaging and fit with the soundtrack. Linked Horizon as a group fits perfectly with pretty much everything that we associate with Attack on Titan.
Linked Horizon knocked this opening out of the park. With intersections of German lyrics along with the main song’s Japanese vocal work in combination with superior instrumentation, just the pure sound of this song is pleasing to the ears. What’s essentially a national anthem for a fictional country, “Jiyuu no Tsubasa” (or “Flügel der Freiheit” which translates to “Wings of Freedom”) perfectly captures the spirit of Attack on Titan, one of the most popular anime around the world.
AOT SEASON 2 OPENING NAME FULL
It really helps that the section of the full song used for the main part of the OP is a part of the most flawless section of Japanese singing I’ve ever heard.
