“Attack on Titan,” based on the best-selling manga series created by Hajime Isayama, follows the story set in a world where the last remnants of humanity were enforced to retreat behind the towering walls to escape the man-eating “titans” that roamed the land outside the walls.
Eren Yeager, with his comrades, vows to retake the world after a titan brought destruction to his hometown and killed his mother.
The Season 3 ended as they discovered the truth about the man-eating titans and the terrifying secrets beyond the walls.
Although the manga is reportedly still ongoing, Isayama was purported to have said the anime series will cover the entire story.
