Okay, I've been watching Attack on Titan like crazy.
Way too late for me to add episode by episode notes.
I don't actually know what's going to happen, or what's going on. Relatively speaking, I haven't been spoiled on it really at all, I did watch a long video on Eren Jager, and apparently he's gonna become genocidal or do something really terrible.
Anyway, the universe of Attack on Titan is the scariest thing in the world, literally.
In japanese they're not called Titans, they're just giants. Gyojin.
# Season 3
They just sealed Wall Maria, and basically lost the entire scouts squad to do it.
They're about to open the basement that'll reveal the secrets of the giants.
Okay, so they've at least confirmed that there's another society outside of the walls. That's where Dr. Jager comes from. They have cameras and blimps.
So apparently it was somebody named Ymir Fritz that "made a deal with the devil" to get Titan powers, like 2k years ago. When she died she was split into 9 titans, who became the Eldian Empire. Titans did they titan shit and fucked the world up, and began ruling.
Then 80 years ago (From when grisha was a kid), 7 titans came under the control of humans and took back the country.
The ELDIAN KING, as in one of the giants, went to the island of Paradis and created the three walls. (And wiped everyones memories and said all other humanity had died)
....
Okay that's not true at all. It's kind of hard to figure out exactly what the truth is tbh.
# Season 4
I have finished the show lol. To the detriment of my many life responsibilities. OH DEAR!
But, the way they tried to explain the mythos / science behind the titans was pretty fascinating.
It was some spinal cord looking kind of life that got attached to Ymir Fritz and then she turned into a giant. She was a slave to the king, and he had her develop the land and build roads and shit.
She had a lot of kids for the king, and when she died, THE KING FED HER TO HER KIDS! Making them the 9 titans lol.
Raw, they didn't even cook her. That shit was wild.
