In a post-apocalyptic world where the remains of humanity have peacefully lived for a century behind walls protecting them from giant humanoid Titans, Attack on Titan follows a passionate young boy, Eren Yeager, and his friends, the female powerhouse Mikasa Ackerman and brainy nervous wreck Armin Arlert. When a humongous new breed of Titan suddenly appears, the Colossal, and breaches the outer wall, Titans flood in, destroying Eren's hometown and devouring his mother. Vowing vengeance, Eren trains as a soldier and eventually fulfills his lifelong dream of joining the elite Survey Corps, a group of soldiers who venture out to fight against the Titans. Attack on Titan chronicles this fight, while investigating the Titans' origin and history.
Attack on Titan has received widespread acclaim and has notably sustained a broad, active, and international fan base. Critics and audiences have praised the story, characters, animation, music, voice acting, and dark (yet sometimes humorous) themes.
