It has won several awards, including the Kodansha Manga Award, the Micheluzzi Award, and Harvey Award. The anime series has also been well received by critics, with the first three seasons being met with praise for their story, animation, music and voice acting, thus boosting the series' popularity in the U.S. and Asia. Although it has gained significant fame and popularity in Japan's neighbouring countries, political interpretations of the series have caused controversies in China and South Korea.

Setting

The plot mostly takes place within three walls, said to be the last location where humans still live, as the rest of the world has been taken over by human-eating Titans. As the story progresses, the setting slowly evolves beyond the walls, revealing secrets of the outside world.

Plot

The central protagonist is a boy named Eren Yeager (or Jaeger) who lives in the town of Shiganshina, located on the edge of Wall Maria, the outermost of three circular walls protecting humanity from Titans said to have killed all other humans one hundred years prior to the start of the story. In the year 845, the wall is breached by two new types of Titan, named the Colossal (alternatively named the Colossus) and the Armored, and Eren's mother is eaten by a Titan while Eren escapes. He swears revenge on all Titans and enlists in the military along with his childhood friends, Mikasa Ackermann and Armin Arlert.
