Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan is an anime, based on the Japanese manga by Hajime Isayama, which was originally aired in April of 2013. The story is based on a civilization of people who live inside three giant walls, Maria, Rose and Sheena, which were built to protect them from humanoid creatures named “Titans.” The origin of Titans is a mystery to humans, but their main drive is known to all: to kill and eat humans. Though information about Titan’s is scarce, they do know that Titans do not require nutrients to survive and kill strictly for blood lust.

The main character of the story Erin Yeager has had a life-long dream to join the military and to kill all Titans in existence. After the most outer wall, Wall Rose, is obliterated by a mysterious 60-meter Titan, their town is destroyed, and Erin’s mother is killed, he, Mikasa, his adopted sister, and Armin, his childhood friend, all decide to join the military. While training to kill Titans, another invasion sparks, and Erin discovers that he has a power that allows him to transform into a Titan that is bigger and stronger than the average.

His new found ability nearly gets him killed by the government, but after promising to use his powers for the good of the people, he, Mikasa, and Armin are inducted into the Scout Regime, the most elite of Titan killers. During one of their first missions with the Scout Regime, a Titan is spotted. Though Titans are usually slow-paced, absent minded, and highly unintelligent, this one is fast, highly intelligent, and skilled in combat, and is trying to capture Erin. After concluding that the mysterious Titan must be a human, and possess the same ability as Erin, their main goal is to catch it.

Armin, the smartest one of all the Scout Regime, is able to figure out exactly who the human is, only to find out that it is one of their close friends, Krista Lenz, but they are unable to capture her and this is where Season 1 ends. Season 2’s airing is confirmed to be sometime in late 2015, and is highly anticipated by many.
