Attack on Titan (Shigeki no Kyojin) Summary :3

<--- push da play button .D.


I've found an anime that blew me away. Wow. Attack on Titan, or Shigeki no Kyojin, is an amazing anime. I was speechless before the opening was even over. Wow. The story centers around a boy named Eren Jaeger, and his adopted sister, Mikasa Ackerman.
. 

They live in a world filled with titans, giants with a desire to eat human flesh. To prevent human extinction, the last of the humans built huge walls, 50 meters high and hundreds of kilometers long, around themselves. There are three walls called Wall Maria (the outermost wall), Wall Rose (middle wall), and Wall Sina (the innermost wall housing the capital). Picture a target. It's kind of similar to that.





 Eren and Mikasa live between the outer and middle walls. Wall Maria hadn't been destroyed for a hundred years, so no one expected the titans to come, if ever. Of course, things happen when you're the least prepared for it. Suddenly out of nowhere, a giant lightning bolt comes down and poof, a HUUUUGE titan, larger than all the others, appears and starts to break down the wall. The other smaller titans get in, and all hell breaks loose.

 Eren realizes that where the titans had gotten in was where his house was, and his mom was still inside. His dad had left for a business trip right before the titans invaded, and Eren and Mikasa had been out and about at the time. They run to see if she is all right, and they see that their house had collapsed, trapping her legs. They attempt to free her, before an approaching titan comes to eat them all, but their efforts are useless. Then Hannes, one of the wall's protectors, comes in on the scene and their mother begs him to take the children and run. Hannes says that he will fight off the Titan and rushes at it. He freezes and races back to them, scoops up Eren and Mikasa, and runs.

 You can tell from the picture that Eren can still see his mother and the titan. The titan scoops up his mother and eats her. And he got to watch the whole thing. Yaaay. I'm sure he wanted to watch that.

 But wow. This anime. Wow. Blew. Me. Away. The opening is amazing. The animation is excellent. The storyline has the perfect blend of tragedy, action, horror, humor, sci-fi, fantasy, heck, it has practically anything. No romance yet. So far.

So what are you doing here, watching me ramble on and on? GO WATCH IT! I didn't describe it well enough to give it credit. Go be your own judge. Watch one of the best animes ever created. And prepare to be shocked, prepare to cry, or at least be a little sympathetic.
