▲''Attack on Titan'' is an anime/manga about humanity's struggle against Titans, man-eating giants. The story starts in the year 845. A little over 100 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.
It is known for [[Anyone Can Die]], so don't get too attached to anyone. There is a reason why their city is the last human settlement on the planet. Between deaths and the initial mystery
From its relatively modest beginning, the manga managed to become the 17th highest seller in 2010, and a live-action film adaptation was released in 2015.
Line 52 ⟶ 50:
* [[Kaiju]]: The Colossal Titan. 60 meters (roughly 200 feet) of skinless steaming monstrosity.
* [[Kill All Humans]]/[[Super-Persistent Predator]]: Titans explicitly target humans alone, ignoring any other animals they come by. It's not even because they're hungry; they don't need to eat.
* [[Land of the Shattered Empire]]: The Walls are actually the remnants of Eldia, which was in ancient times used by the Titans to build their empire. However, due to internal conflicts, it collapsed during the Great Titan War. The nation of Marley then rose to global power.
* [[Last of His Kind|Last of Her Kind]]: Mikasa Ackerman whose (mother's) race (called oriental) was wiped out by the Titans. Makes sense given that the walled city's region seems roughly analogous with northwest Europe, so east-asian analog humans would have been for the most part much too far away to take refuge there in time.
* [[Leitmotif]]: Some Titans have this. They tend to sound pretty urgent.
