“Attack on Titan” or “Shingeki No Kyojin” is set in a world where humanoid giants called Titans roam around the Earth to wreak havoc. The story initially takes place in the fictitious town of Shigansina, a walled city presumed to be the last remaining human settlement on Earth, designed to protect its people from the aggressive Titans. The series follows Eren Jaeger, a young boy who witnesses his mother’s brutal death at the hands of a Titan after they breached the walls of the city. Driven by vengeance and determination to protect the greater good, Eren joined the military to be a member of the Survey Corps, a group of skilled volunteers who aim to travel beyond the walls and explore Titan-infested areas. Throughout the series, the Survey Corps faces endless life-threatening encounters against relentless Titans that test their skills and their friendships.
