Shingeki no Kyojin
Anime Rec: Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan
In a horrifying alternate universe, humanity is on the brink of extinction due to unexplained gigantic “titans”—huge, mindless, zombie-like humanoids whose only goal appears to be eating humans. Humanity has managed to hang on by building a series of high concentric circular walls to keep the giants out and by training a special military force that uses gas canisters and aerial techniques to get high enough to try to kill the giants before they are eaten. There are still huge amounts of casualties in each battle.
If you enjoy dark and often depressing mecha-like anime with plenty of action, this one is worth seeing just for this impressive worldbuilding. The characters are interesting enough, though I would have appreciated more development. I was bored with the main character, Eren, but I was particularly fond of the many badass females, especially Eren’s adopted sister, Mikasa, and the morally ambiguous squadron leaders like Levi.
Other anime recs can be found here.
By the way, happy Canadian thanksgiving!

How far in to the series are you :3?

Have you seen all of it? Or read the manga? I'm curious how closely it follows the manga and if any of those questions are eventually answered, lol!

And the manga answers a lot of questions and poses many more! It's well worth reading.
