Synopsis

Centuries ago, mankind was slaughtered to near extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called Titans, forcing humans to hide in fear behind enormous concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born out of hunger but what appears to be out of pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began living within defensive barriers, resulting in one hundred years without a single titan encounter. However, that fragile calm is soon shattered when a colossal Titan manages to breach the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the fight for survival against the man-eating abominations.

After witnessing a horrific personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to their eradication by enlisting into the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that combats the merciless humanoids outside the protection of the walls. Eren, his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman, and his childhood friend Armin Arlert join the brutal war against the Titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached.

This is honestly one of the most emotionally overwhelming anime I’ve ever watched. From the very beginning, it hits you with this heavy, powerful atmosphere that never really lets go. I was probably the most emotional watching this compared to anything else. Every twist, every loss, every reveal felt like a punch straight to the heart. There were moments where I just had to pause because the emotions were too much, yet I still couldn’t stop watching. What makes it so incredible is how perfectly everything fits together: the storytelling, the world‑building, the characters, the music, the tension. It’s dark, intense, and heartbreaking, but also ...

Honestly watching this first season was a real ordeal, I mean the protagonist is awfully rude and stupid. Always shouting on the other like he is better and know more than them. For god sake just close your mouth and think a bit more please, I beg you. Maybe it's part of the anime, transcribe that this character is just a lost kid, if it is then great it works, but why is him the only one so stupid, doing nothing than just shouting ? I don't understand, I just want to hit him in the face, like wake up, stop beying so childish.
If I ...

I always looked at AOT as a joke because despite all this fanfare, It has always been a below average shonen which tricked some spectactors into thinking It is a mature story. Also, the animation played a huge role. Every anime with great animation is amazing for some anime watchers

It's the edgelord's favorite anime. Kids watched AOT thinking They are watching something for adults because there is blood and gore. Having dark themes doesn't make you mature. It's how an anime handles it. And the way AOT handles it is so childish. AOT is shock porn. Everything is written to shock. It relies on plot ...
