If you’ve never heard of the hit manga and anime Attack On Titan, here’s the gist of it: 100 years ago, mankind was almost wiped out by the sudden appearance of the Titans, seemingly mindless colossal humanoid creatures that only had one thing in mind – to eat humans.

One hundred years later, the remnants of humankind have been living behind massive 50m walls that keep them safe from the mouths of the Titans roaming the outside world. But that fragile, caged peace changes when a Colossal Titan emerges and destroys one of the walls, leading to a massacre of thousands.
