Attack on Titan

Title: Shingeki no Kyojin {i call it Attack on Titan cause i remember it better, sue me}

Author/ Artist: Isayama Hajime

Genre: Action, Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Mature, Mystery, Psychological, Shounen, Tragedy

Summary: Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by giants. Giants are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of giants. Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a giant in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a super giant that appears out of thin air. As the smaller giants flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Eren vows that he will murder every single giant and take revenge for all of mankind.

Status: Ongoing

Well it's an emotional roller coaster all right. You think someone's going to survive, then the music starts playing that 'think again' song and next thing you know a character gets smashed into a wall or eaten and it's actually really horrific, why did i do this to myself?

The first ten episodes are depressing enough to get you into a funk but I liked Eren and I liked how goal orientated he was and how he was determined to kill every last titan even though he was afraid and his desires kept me going even when them scary ass titans freaked me the hell out and I thought I was going to get nightmares. But it gets better and you think oh, maybe they're gonna pull through. Haha sike. Guess again. And then they do and it's like okay but that still emotionally scarred me. Please, I have frail emotions.

I like how Levi is so badass and if something happens to him I'll throw a table. For some reason and I don't know why I thought he was the main character and i kept on waiting for young Eren to get squinty eyes and it never happened and then Levi came and i was like, srsly, what is wrong with me? Not that anyone needs to know that.... but i totally recommend watching Attack on Titan if you have a good stomach and don't get sussed out to easily.

You can watch the anime or read the manga but I think after i've finished the eps I'll go back and read the manga, but I spoiled myself and I'm so angry I can't even tell you how ashamed I feel that I got spoilered, but it's my own fault I guess cause it did warn me....pls no one else spoil me.

*update*
I don't remember what I spoiled for myself, I'm such a ditz. But this manga is legit scary to me though. And i have had nightmares, which was so not fun.
