Synopsis
Centuries ago, humanity faced near-extinction at the hands of giant humanoid creatures known as Titans, forcing survivors to retreat behind massive concentric walls for safety. These terrifying beings consume humans not out of hunger but for sheer enjoyment, and for a hundred years, those inside the walls lived in relative peace free from Titan attacks. That peace shattered when a Colossal Titan suddenly breached the outer wall, plunging humanity back into a desperate struggle for survival against these flesh-eating monsters. Eren Yeager, driven by the tragic loss of someone close to the Titans, vows to wipe them out and joins the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that fights Titans beyond the protective walls. Alongside his adopted sister, Mikasa Ackerman, and his childhood friend, Armin Arlert, Eren enters the deadly conflict, searching for a way to defeat the Titans before the remaining walls fall.
