WATCHED: 16.06.2017 - 22.07.2017

AVERAGE RATING: 8.9

SEASON 1: Eren Yeager lives within the walls where the remainder of humanity are forced to stay in in fear of the Titans - human like monsters that are bigger than normal humans. They feast on human flesh and so the humans have to stay protected and defend their territory. The area consists of three walls: Wall Maria (outer wall), Wall Rose (middle wall), and Wall Sina (inner wall). The more towards the centre you live, the richer and more important you are. This includes the King and the government. For over 100 years, mankind has lived inside them peacefully. Eren wishes to join the scouts to see the outside world and kill the Titans. What led him to do so was the death of his mother, who got eaten by the Smiling Titan right in front of him after a 60m tall Titan (who is called the Colossal Titan) kicked a hole inside Wall Maria letting all the Titans in. After this incident, 20% of the population had been killed. 5 years later, Eren was finally old enough to enrol, he did together with his childhood friends Armin and Mikasa. The scouts learn about the Titans and train very hard to prepare themselves to fight actual Titans. Soon after Eren joined the scouts, the Colossal Titan appeared again and kicks a hole in the wall again together with the Armored Titan, letting Titans in. The scouts go out to battle and Eren looses some of his limbs, but seems to be able to regrow them after a period of time! Eren finds out that he's a Titan Shifter (The Rogue Titan) - a human who can transform into a Titan. Eren starts to try and use his Titan form and take control over it, at first he fails but eventually he learns to use it properly. The Survey Corps appear, and Eren gets accepted into Levi's squad. Suddenly, another Titan appears (Female Titan) and it seems to have intelligence, after a long battle to try and capture it, they find out that the Titan is actually Annie - another Titan Shifter! They started to grow suspicious that she was the Titan either way, so she was pretty much cornered. We then learn that the Armoured Titan (who helped ram the wall after the Colossal Titan almost failed doing so) is Reiner and that the Colossal Titan is Bertolt.

SEASON 2: Titans have been discovered inside the walls! And that means they are all about 50m each as the wall is that height. I believe the wall itself was made using hardened Titan skin or something in addition as well. The Survey Corps go on an expedition and reach a forest. Something strange seems to be going on. Titans start rushing in and out of it - there's something in there affecting their behaviour. These Titans come out and start chasing the Survey Corps who tried their best to survive this horrific and intense situation - so many Titans! A lot of the Survey Corps as well as Titans got wiped out. The remaining of the Survey Corps are forced to retreat into an abandoned castle. Titans starts approaching and breaking down the unstable castle. So Ymir (a member of the Corps) jumps off after saying her goodbyes to Krista (Historia) and turns into a Titan! (The Jaw Titan). She ends up nearly(?) sacrificing herself here and manages to save everyone. Out of nowhere, the Ape Titan appears, who had odd behaviour and didn't seem to want to harm the people, and he could speak. At the same time, some other Scouts head to a small village within Wall Maria, which happens to be where Connie was born. They find a paralysed Titan likely on top of Connie's house, and it seems to look very familiar... Eren and Ymir get kidnapped by Reiner and Bertolt during their mission. Reiner is forced to expose his secret of being the Armoured Titan to everyone in order to protect Bertolt, who Mikasa almost had almost slain. Eren and Ymir were also being protected so that the Survey Corps can't go save them. After, Eren turns into a Titan and fights the Armoured Titan head on! It was such a cool battle! Bertolt becomes the Colossal Titan on top of the wall, right above the fight and falls off onto the two, causing Eren to get injured very badly, together with Reiner's powerful punches as a shielded Titan... The season ends with Mikasa confessing her feelings for Eren in front of the Smiling Titan, the same one that killed their mother.

SEASON 3: Eren recovers from the damage he got thanks to the fight, and he proceeds to train his Titan abilities to that a failure like this won't happen again, as Reiner and Bertolt got away with Ymir since Eren lost the fight. The Scouts, at this point, also learn that there is a threat in the government that may destroy the whole operation to go into Eren's old house's basement which keeps the Secret to the Titans in it. This involved Kenny very much, as well as Historia's dad. Eren and Historia get captured from an enemy group, so the Scouts turn from fighting Titans and their training to retrieve the two. We learn about Historia's past. Her mom hated her whole existence and showed it, and her dad didn't seem to care a lot either as she even met him later in her life. That's why she's so close with Ymir since she was the only one who really cared for her. Historia almost gets killed but her dad stopped it from happening since he saw some use of her. We also get a view of Erwin's past. His dad taught him about the walls and Titans, and told Erwin all about conspiracy theories he has. The government find that he's going too far and execute him. Erwin continues to do the research for his dad and keeps all his conspiracy theories and all the things he learned from his dad in mind. Now, the Scouts have to find a way to retrieve Eren and Historia, and find their location using governmental support even if it's the enemy, making it so risky. They probably got help from Erwin. The actual enemies within the government found out and wanted to execute Erwin too. Suddenly there's an attack so Erwin was just saved from death for some time longer. We then see the location where the two are held captive and Eren is chained up. Historia's dad nearly injects Historia with the liquid that gives humans the power to turn into Titans. - the same stuff Eren got injected by because of his father. But it doesn't happen. Historia manages to smash the bottle with the liquid onto the ground and it breaks. The Survey Corps in the mean time have quietly intruded and started the rescue operation. With the liquid all over the ground, Historia's dad gets down and licks it. He inherits the power and shifts into a monstrosity of a Titan! Way bigger than the Colossal Titan too! The Scouts are forced to retreat back to the walls as soon as possible so that they can come up with a quick plan to stop this Titan which is heading their way at amazing speed. They decide not to tell the citizens about this though! After some time, the Titan appears and stands up over the wall. It scraped it's front flesh away since it slid over the ground all the way here and his guts were hanging on the wall- Eren turns into a Titan and does his best to stuff this huge Titan with bombs and stuff, causing it to explode into a million pieces. But this also led to Historia being forced to kill her dad. Soon after this event, Kenny dies. Eren suddenly gets a huge headache and suffers from flashbacks. He learns that his dad was the one who injected the chemical into him, and that he ate his dad soon after he got injected by it and turned into a Titan. So Eren tries to look for answers by tracking down a certain man who may be able to help. The scouts start to prepare to go back to Wall Maria and retrieve it from the attack of the Titans, all those years ago.
