In ancient times, terrifying human-like creatures known as "titans" emerged. these colossal giants, who lacked consciousness, posed an existential threat to mankind by hunting humans relentlessly for food. despite humanity's inability to defend themselves effectively against the titans, they managed to build massive walls around their settlements, creating what may be their last safe haven on earth. today, life within these walls has been peaceful for many years as residents have not encountered any titans recently. three young children, eren yeager, mikasa ackerman, and armin arlert, dream of exploring the world beyond the walls, having grown up listening to tales of its wonders. however, their tranquil existence is shattered when a massive 60-meter titan attacks, reminding them of the harsh realities outside the walls. in response, eren vows to eliminate every single titan from earth, hoping that one day humanity will be able to live freely without fear once more.
