'''''Attack on Titan''''' is an anime about humanity's struggle against Titans, man-eating giants. The story starts in the year 845, well, of the world's calendar (notice the lack of any mentions to Jesus Christ). A little over one hundred years ago, the Titans appeared, and pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Humanity retreated into stronghold with mighty walls the Titans couldn't breach. Since then, humanity has been locked in a stalemate against the Titans.
 
Eren is a boy who dreams of the world outside the city walls. This fantasy is fueled by the fabulous descriptions of his bookish friend Armin. Even Eren's level-headed foster sister, Mikasa, can't talk him out of it. So what if there are human-eating giants outside the city? As long as people know how to kill them, and the city walls keep the giants out, human civilization can slowly rebuild, and eventually reclaim the world. However, shortly after the story begins, a colossal Titan<ref>later named "the Colossal"</ref> appears, and destroys an outer wall gate, letting its smaller kin into the city.
