If you’ve heard of this Attack on Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin thing, then you’re like me. Spoiler alert, yes, but it’s still a good place to start.
You have to love being able to talk about the moral (and sort of sociological) implications of an anime series. Yay for humanity!
If you’re still a little lost, according to Wikipedia, Attack on Titan:
“…centers around the lives of Eren Yeager, his adoptive sister Mikasa Ackerman, and their friend Armin Arlert.
“[They] live in a world where the remnants of the human population live inside cities surrounded by enormous walls due to the sudden appearance of the Titans, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour humans seemingly without reason.”
Got it?
