Hunter X Hunter's Chimera Ant Arc feels like it was a prototype that Isayama used before writing AOT. Both have man-eating abominations that terrorize small island nations which are cut off from the outside world. Neither series is afraid to depict darker subject matter that subverts what the show may seem from the surface. The protagonists of both aren't treated as morally good characters and will commit questionable or downright evil acts partially motivated by revenge. Both shows build suspense and intrigue and have a purveying sense of hopelessness throughout. Of course, the other Hunter X Hunter arcs have a much lighter tone than what AOT offers, but it's hard to ignore the similarities between the two that do exist.
