What is it?
Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by titans. Titans are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for pleasure rather than for sustenance. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in an area protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of titans.

Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a titan in over 100 years. Teenaged protagonist Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as one of the city walls is damaged by a 60-meter-tall titan causing a breach in the wall. This begins a chain of events which leads to them joining the military to fight against the titans.

The manga won the 35th Kodansha Manga Award for Best Shounen Manga.

Why should I care?

One of the most popular currently-running Japanese manga gets a 25-episode anime adaptation. The manga is widely appreciated for its unique, acrobatic action, large ensemble cast of characters, frightening titan art, a pervasive sense of despair, and its subversion of many typical shounen tropes.

TL;DR just watch the preview.



Who is making it?

Studio WIT, an offshoot of Production I.G., is handling the animation. Tetsuro Araki, known for his dramatic, over-the-top style, is handling the direction. The staff includes:

Director- Tetsuro Araki (Death Note, Highschool of the Dead, Guilty Crown)

Series Composition- Yasuko Kobayashi (Casshern Sins, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

Music- Hiroyuki Sawano (Blue Exorcist, Guilty Crown)

Original Creator- Hajime Isayama

Director of Photography- Kazuhiro Yamada (Death Note, Ergo Proxy, House of Five Leaves, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

Sound Director- Masafumi Mima (Fullmetal Alchemist, Macross Plus, Paprika, Paranoia Agent)



Where can I watch it?

The series is being streamed by both Funimation and Crunchyroll.

Eren Jaeger...

Frank Jaeger...All I could think about was Grey Fox after hearing Eren's last name :p

Done with all 6 episodes in one sitting.

So no airing times confirmed?

And I was watching [GG] subs and on their release, they're referring to Sasha as Sasha "Blouse" :p

It's been so long since I last saw a great Shounen anime series.

AoT is Araki's finest directorial venture since Death Note. Good thing I haven't read the Manga.

Same here. Haven't seen a anime for a long time but this one piqued my interest.

P.S Even Goichi Suda is a big fan of this show :p
[MENTION=23390]Major Aly[/MENTION]: I think this airs on Sundays so a episode might pop up today or tomorrow.

That is good :D

Viewers of Episode 5 had to wait a painstakingly long week for episode 6 to know what happened next :p

It's been more or less a year since I've last watched any anime...

THIS piqued my interest :D

Gonna wait for all the Eps to come out and then watch them in one go like I do with Game Of Thrones, otherwise the waiting between eps becomes too umpleasant.

[MENTION=22908]shinigami8671[/MENTION] No manga spoilers in this thread, only discussion of the anime. You should edit that out just in case.

Episode 7 downloaded !

Although I'm downloading these encoded ones: [gg]_Shingeki_no_Kyojin_-_07_[3F33870C].mkv which are in 720p but the quality is sub-par...

Any other encoders/subbers present with great quality?

Man I wish I could watch EP7 right away at the office....:(

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
