Shingeki no Kyojin
Synopsis: Centuries ago, humanity was shot down for almost extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called Titan, forcing human beings to hide with fear behind huge concentric walls. What makes these giants really terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born of hunger, but what seems to be for pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began to live within defensive barriers, resulting in a hundred years without a single Titan meeting. However, this fragile calm is soon broken when a colossal titan can violate the allegedly impregnable external wall, rekindling the struggle for survival against the abominations that eat man.
After witnessing a terrible personal loss in the hands of invasive creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to his eradication by enlisted in the research body, a military elite unit that fights merciless humanoids out of the protection of the walls. Eren, his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman, and her childhood friend Armin Arlert join brutal war against the Titans and run to find a way to defeat them before the last walls are violated.
