Series Synopsis

Eren Jaeger (voiced by Yuki Kaji), his childhood friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlelt (voiced by Yui Ishikawa and Marina Inoue), and his other comrades of the Survey Corps' Special Operations Squad are still trying to unlock the secrets of the murderous beings known as the titans. However, in their search for answers, they have only found more questions.

Nevertheless, they feel they are close to a breakthrough. The problem is, the people in power feel the same way. Any threat to the authority must, therefore, be wiped out.

Although life behind the mighty Walls might keep the titans out, such an existence also means more dangerous monsters are lurking within. The war for humanity’s survival is about to open a newer, far more deadly front.

Be that as it may, Eren and his friends will not falter in their mission. Like their enemies, they will see their job through — by any means necessary.

A hundred years ago, the Titans appeared and brought mankind to near extinction. The few remaining humans now live in a country surrounded by three gigantic walls. For the past century, these walls have kept the monsters at bay. Allowing humanity to live.

Eren Yeager (voiced by Yuki Kaji) lives with his family. Feeling trapped, Eren's greatest wish is to explore the outside world. He believes his only chance joining the legendary Survey Corps. Eren tells of his desires to his foster sister Mikasa Ackerman (voiced by Yui Ishikawa) and childhood Armin Arlet (voiced by Marina Inoue).

Then one day, the three are reminded why humanity has lived in fear.

A titan of unprecedented size peaks its head over the wall. With a powerful kick, the giant blasts a hole through the gate. The town is overrun.

Eren, Mikasa, and Armin manage to escape the city and find refuge behind the inner walls. Unfortunately, the land of the outermost wall falls.

Five years later, the friends rise to become three of the most skilled soldiers of the 104th Corps. On the day of their graduation, the three are assigned to garrison duty at the top of the wall in the city Trost. To their horror, the colossus titan reappears and once again blasts an opening into the city.
