Most people like Attack on Titan. It attracts people to it. I mean who doesn't like seeing half naked Titans slaughtering people and the main characters?
Here is a very good description of the show by Kotaku.com:
One of the most depressing shows I have watched is also one of the greatest. Attack on Titan is many things at once: an anime, a look at human nature, a horrifying tale of defeat.
From the outside, it might just seem like any other anime show centering around kids with cool skills. But if you'd like to know what this show is really about and why it's so popular, allow me to explain.
Hi!, so Attack on Titan.All I know about this show is that there's a Body Worlds Exhibit-looking dude who is always creeping over a wall. He's terrifying.

He sure is!
So what's the deal? What's going on?
The show tells the story of the citizens hiding within a three-tiered, walled-off community that protects them from the Titans that live outside of it. Though at the start of the show there hadn't been an attack since the one one hundred years ago that nearly wiped out all of humanity, the threat still very much looms right outside their gates.
So, that big guy by the wall is a Titan?
He's what the citizens call a Colossal Titan. They're the toughest breed of Titan they've encountered yet, and he comes in to demolish a part of a wall to let all other Titans in.
What are Titans anyway? They're gigantic, humanoid-looking creatures that seem to have no other desire but to eat people.

For food?
Not really, actually. The Titans don't have digestive tracts (or sexual organs, btw).
No sex??
No sex. I know, I know. Seeing two gangly, awkward humanoid creatures going at it would probably be kind of hilarious. But, hey, check the Internet. You never know...
Er, yeah, maybe. Moving on...
Moving on...because they don't have digestive tracts, they eventually spit the humans up like hairballs, leaving their slimy corpses all over town for their friends and families to clean up.
Harsh.
Quite. Imagine living through the terror of one of these attacks just to have to scoop up goopy bodies with faces you recognize, if there's any of it left.
Yuck. So the city's walls are to keep the Titans out?
Yep. They have three walls circling around each other, the innermost of which is where the royal family lives. Their other form of defense is the military, where a lot of the Attack on Titan story takes place.

The show is mostly focused on Eren, a young boy who had to watch as his mother was brutally chomped on by a Titan with long hair. In a permanent fit of rage, Eren decides to dedicate his life to the military to get revenge. He's dead set on it, and his childhood friends make a pact with him to join. So off Eren, Mikasa and Armin go to join The Survey Corps, which is the roughest sect of the military you can join.

Okay so I'm going to stop there as the article goes on for ages and gives away too many spoilers.
I myself haven't watched a lot of this show, but my brother who is not an anime fan absolutely loved it. I think it's really good.
