Attack on Titan Storyline

It is set in a world where humanity is under the threat of titans, which are humanoid giant monsters who eat mankind for seemingly no reason. To overcome this threat, they built huge walls towering over the titans as a way of protection against them. The story focuses on Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlelt and how they are surviving and overcoming the constant dangers of the titans. One hundred years after the walls were built everything was peaceful until one unfortunate day.

The presents of the colossal titan reminded humanity of the threat that lurked beyond the walls. The huge titan that stood over the wall Maria appeared out of thin air and it then began to destroy one of the gates that surround the wall. In turn, the gate gets destroyed, letting many titans that were outside, come in and devour every human they could get there hands on. Once they got inside, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin ran to Eren’s house because he realized that the chaos was near his house. As he neared his house he witnessed his mother stuck under a boulder, blocking her from escaping. After not being able to help his mother, Eren is encountered with a titan who is looking for its next meal. Unfortunately, as one would guess, Eren’s mother gets ripped in half and then devoured. Because of this traumatic experience, Eren vowed vengeance on the titans and threatened to kill every last one of them. As a way to try and fulfill that vow, Eren along with his friends decide to join the military to then be part of the Scouts Regiment.

The Scouts Regiment is one out of three different military regiments that are tasked to do different things. It is said that joining the Scouts Regiment is suicide because they are tasked to go outside of the walls and fight the titans head on. Because of this almost all of them die and not even half are able to be buried because there's nothing left. The three military groups are called, the scout's regiment or the survey corps, the stationary guard or the garrison, and the military police.

The main characters that are involved in the series being different elements and help develop the storyline with their personalities and importance in the story. As I have previously stated, Eren Yeager is the character that this anime revolves around. He also has two very loyal companions who are Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert. Mikasa Ackerman is Eren’s adoptive sister. When she was just a child, Mikasa’s parents were both murdered by human traffickers. Eren saved her and she then lived with his parents till the fall of wall Maria. Armin Arlert is Eren’s best friend and he has been with him since childhood. They first met each other one day when Armin would get bullied by the other kids and he began crying beside a wall, then Eren peered over and suggested that he should fight back and that is where the friendship began.
