The story took a little back in time when two kids carry some wood they bring out from the nearest forest and see a familiar face who was drunk and they greet him. The year was 845. A young boy named Eren and all the other people in a large place with very large and tall walls. They all had fears on their faces, when they see the biggest giant of all giants, try to climb the wall. A wind starts to blow and all things start to crack and become a real mess and in a distance, a little giants approach the wall. (celestial music coming to play).
Giants finally break through the walls and walking to the "city". All people start to run for their lives and scream. Eren starts to run to his house since he saw a giant go to the way of his house and screaming a lot, calling his mom. She was trapped below the house a roof falling to her, but she tells him to run and leave her behind. Eren is stubborn at the beginning and tries to save her to lift up the roof, but with no success. She tries to convince him the last time that he must run and tell him that her legs and spine were broken and even if he somehow saves her he couldn't run. Soon after that the family friend and soldier approach them and grab both Eren and a girl who was there and starts to run when almost giant swing with hand to try to grab them. Eren screams "mother" "mother", when a giant grabs her and pulls her from the roof, break her body in half.... the blood splashing through the air and the giant open his mouth and eat her alive.
Theme song:
After the slaughter ends a priest starts babbling all the crap that priests usually saying/babbling when this kind of thing happens. Meanwhile, giants walking still through the city, when surviving people try to hide even more from them. A large wooden boat full of people starts to fill up to save as many humans as they can and move even deeper in the other stronger wall. I need to tell you that "the city" is not a regular city.
To fight the giant's; people develop some incredible grappling hook tool, that allows them to move with high speed around the city when is attacked ..... they move like spider-man. It's pretty great if you think about it. But the tools are meant for survival and fight with giants as possible.
Eren and two of his friends decided that they will join the military who basically teaches people how to survive and move through the city in case of being attacked. The anime story is more than awesome and it had great storytelling.
Eren joins the army since he swore, that he will kill all the titans that are on the earth. Music is great, it really drags you to watch it with every episode, but it's also very gruesome since it's anime and anime supposed to be for kids, but not that one. This one is for 16+ because you know in every anime where blood spreads and peoples are killed they show it like real blood and more realistic than even in movies. Trust me. Attack on Titan is great anime, but only for people who enjoy the horror genre and action and doesn't mind that is cannibalism involved in it, since giants eat regular people alive. When you'll see the anime; you will truly ask yourself; if this is for kids I am a unicorn lol. I recommend this to watch it, but with restriction to parents watch it alongside with kids, if they are younger than 16, because of all of the horrors, that even some adults cannot handle it.
Once you start to watch it, I'm sure you will be drag into it and all you will talk about it will be Attack on Titan (AoT) anime. I hope it will be 5th season of it, i really hope, because this is really a gem.
When you will watch it, you will notice that this is special in all the ways you could imagine. The very last of humanity fights against the survival for the humanity. Would they succeed or not? Apparently they succeed since we are still around and living here in this world almost 1300+ years. But we must be prepared for the future; what, if giants appear in a surface again? Would we be prepared for them? Ask yourself that. Will human race survive again, if this happens again or we would go instinct?
Season 2 and further is when the plot really develop in a awesomeness. I don't wanna give you the spoilers. Just watch it yourself and enjoy.
