The Attack on Titan series follows Eren Jaeger and his friends as they strive to defend the last of humanity which has been herded into walled communities from the titans. These massive creatures eat humans and it’s up to Eren and the rest of the Survey Corps to stop the giants at any cost.

Filming is expected to commence during the summer of 2014 with an estimated release in 2015.
