Attack on Titan!

So, my deal with Attack on Titan is that I was obsessed with it for about a week. I can’t remember exactly where I left off, but the show never seemed to top its first few episodes.

…and here’s the very first of them, from 2013. (English dub. Sorry, purists.)

In a nutshell: The sad remains of society hide behind walls because there’s a horde of giant, scary monster people who will stop at nothing to eat them. (Literally eat them, I mean.)

It’s such an amazing premise. I wish I could tell you that the rest of the series was exactly like this, but it’s not. (Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, mind you. Certainly Attack on Titan has more fans now than ever!)

Before anyone asks: No, I haven’t read the books. I never read the books. I just latch onto shows three years too late, plow through a box of Triscuits while filling in the gaps on a random wiki, and then move onto the next thing.
