Is it okay for me to rant about Attack on Titan for just a moment? Attack on Titan is one of those wacky animes that brings up tons of laughs and smiles. When I say laugh and smiles I mean a character dies every episode by giant "Titans" as they're called.
Attack on Titan is a story about 3 friends, Eren Jeager (Main character), Mikasa Ackerman (best girl ever) and Armin Arlert. The story starts by saying that 100 years ago humanoid beings known as Titans started appearing and wiping out the human race, in defense of that humans built 3 walls that are 50m tall so that no titans would ever get in and completely wipe out humanity.
In the year 845 (the year in episode 1), The 3 main characters are still but children, Eren wants to join the Scout Regiment (people who go outside the walls and hunt Titans) and see the outside world, Mikasa wants him to be safe, and serve as his protector, and Armin just wants to see the outside world with his friends. People inside the wall are arrogant of the power of their wall and assume nothing will ever get through and cause awful events again. Eren thinks that these people are blind and that you should always be ready for attacks. Suddenly the Colossal Titan (60m) appears andquite litterally kicks in the door and lets a huge amount of titans in to slaughter the town. Including Eren's mother. This made him swear that he will kill every last titan in existance.
Overall I'm really enjoying this show, I haven't read the manga yet and I haven't competely finished the show. But so far I absolutely adore the animation, it's beautiful. The story is captivating and original. The Action and Blood is second to none. The universe is very interesting to say the least, some of the mechanisms and machinery are totally cool. I would say that I give this show a 9/10.
Fun Facts about Titans (that I know from how far I am)
They don't have reproducive cycles, and its unknown how they form.
They have no digestive system and they just puke up what they have eaten when they eat too much.
They don't seem to have any energy if its dark, or no sunlight.
They regenerate all damage taken to them besides a slash at the nape of the neck, which is the only way to kill them.

Oh man, Titan AE is my favorite movie.
