Ok... so... watch it. Bye ^^
Oh-still here? Why? Do you need a reason to watch it? Never heard of it? What?? O_O
Oh well, fine. Jeez-I'll write a proper post then -_-
Hello!! Now-you've probably heard of the recently new series called Attack on Titan or Shingeki no Kyojin, the manga of which is published by Kodansha. However, I will be referring mainly to the anime as I have no intention of spoiling myself by reading the manga first in this case.
This series has received a massive amount of hype from the fan base after only 8 English sub episodes (new one every Saturday), and for good reason! Not only is this a very well made anime, but the story so far is very entertaining, the characters are good and the concept of the plot is just awesome. Not to mention the opening... the fandom has a tendency to put the op to anything it can ^^
For a brief background (pretty much no spoilers): the story is set in a medieval-like era where there is no electricity but a fairly well-developed mechanical technology (aka the gear they use for maneuvering around the place), and follows the characters Eren, Misaki and Armin. Humanity has met it's match-giant humanoid creatures that seemingly eat humans for no reason-and have constructed their society around this threat. The main human base consists of a huge circular area layered into sections by 50m tall walls that are designed to keep out titans-and have done so successfully for 100 years. Our main characters are residents of a town by the outer wall of Maria. To deal with the threat of Titans, humans developed special "3D Maneuvering Gear" (aka the most epic thing ever) and a small part of the population brave enough to risk their lives are assigned to battle for the greater good of man kind against the ferocious onslaught by the titans. From there on, I can tell no more sans spoilers.
ANYWAY, if you have not watched it, please consider doing so. There are only 8 episodes released so far and therefor a fast catch-up. If you want to see if it's something for you and don't mind spoilers too much (it's only 8 episodes so far, not too much to spoil... or is there?), I can recommend checking Gigguk and GRArkada's reactions to it-I think they make a fair judgement on the anime and are overall great reviewers.
So if you're looking for something to watch/read, wether or not you're picky-there is a good chance this is something you should be watching.
I hope you all at least try watching it, and enjoy!!
