Synopsis

Hundreds of years ago, horrifying creatures which resembled humans appeared. These mindless, towering giants, called Titans, proved to be an existential threat, as they preyed on whatever humans they could find in order to satisfy a seemingly unending appetite. Unable to effectively combat the Titans, mankind was forced to barricade themselves within large walls surrounding what may very well be humanity's last safe haven in the world.

In the present day, life within the walls has finally found peace, since the residents have not dealt with Titans for many years. Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlert are three young children who dream of experiencing all that the world has to offer, having grown up hearing stories of the wonders beyond the walls. But when the state of tranquility is suddenly shattered by the attack of a massive 60-meter Titan, they quickly learn just how cruel the world can be. On that day, Eren makes a promise to himself that he will do whatever it takes to eradicate every single Titan off the face of the Earth, with the hope that one day, humanity will once again be able to live outside the walls without fear.

The series was published in English as Attack on Titan by Kodansha Comics USA from June 19, 2012, to October 19, 2021. The publisher also released the manga as large-size 5-in-1 omnibus editions with the subtitle Colossal Edition, and as 3-in-1 omnibus volumes. Kodansha Comics USA's English release won the 2014 Harvey Award for Best American Edition of Foreign Material. Crunchyroll simulpublished the manga digitally.

Attack on Titan is not perfect, nothing is. That being said it truly deserves to be considered a modern classic and will go down as one of the most influential series to come out of this medium.


(this review will be spoiler free and very vague for those who have not read it)


STORY: 9/10

The story of Attack on Titan is unique, one of a kind, and undeniably brilliant. It has its clichés here and there but the overall thought put into writing such an intricate and compelling story is unbelievably impressive. The concept of the series is simple and nothing all that profound; titans ...

I have seen people say that we hate the ending because it didnt have a good ending, or our ships didnt place. No you guys no, the reason why we hate is because of the huge contradictions which happen within the characters themselves. im going to put the facts here. read it at your own pace.

HERE ARE THE REASONS,

1. Eren became a simp from the well written character with single minded determination he was. Character assassination at its best.

2. No-one knows Ymir's (founder's) real intentions - What happened to the hallucigenia? Why did she help Eren if he was to be stopped in the ...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Hello. My name is Hajime Isayama and today I'll teach you how to write manga.

I must begin by saying that you should not be discouraged. At first glance, it can be difficult, but you only have to write 90 chapters perfectly tied together, with great characters and mystery to the world and titans, fantastic fights that actually serve a purpose with barely any talk no jutsu moments, and perhaps the single most important thing in all of this, Sasha being alive.

What you ought to do afterward is write a timeskip. This is meant for the end-series so we can ...
