Not long ago, some characters "Attack on Titan" got their own line of perfumes. Fragrances were pioneers "Eren", "Mikasa" And "Levi". They are intended to reflect the personalities of the characters.

"Eren" smells of bergamot, lemon, lime and mint, with added cardamom, nutmeg and anise. There are also scents of cedar, sandalwood and musk. It was designed to reflect Eren's straightforward personality and determination in destroying the Titans.

"Mikasa"– aroma of black currant, raspberry and rosehip. The heart of the fragrance is formed by plum, lilies of the valley and rose. The leading role in the composition was given to notes of cedar and musk. This reflects Mikasa's calm composure, except for the time she fights for Eren. The scent is meant to give an insight into her hidden femininity.

"Levi" Contains top notes of soap and cleanliness. The heart is formed by rose, iris and lotus. The base scents are cedar and musk. The fragrance reveals both Levi's image as a brilliant soldier and his fastidiousness in cleanliness.

I couldn’t start watching this anime for a long time because, despite high score and good reviews, the first episode frankly repulsed me. Well, I didn’t want to watch that’s all... But then I somehow overpowered myself and now, after watching three seasons, I don’t regret it at all. However, it was the first season that left the deepest impression on me. And most of all I was hooked by one female character. She is the one who seems to be the most honest and correct character. She was more honest than others, and in war you cannot do without victims. Especially seeing how this herd called humanity behaves. Only a few are truly appreciated. After watching the first season, I couldn’t sleep for a long time, and finished watching it late in the evening, it all hooked me so deeply, and I spent a long time rethinking her actions, naturally at the same time building other hypotheses about the Titans.

In general, I recommend it to those who know how and enjoy solving puzzles. I ended up giving it a 10...

"Attack on Titan" during my short stay among anime fans, they had already recommended me several times, and I myself was eager to watch this title approximately after I first heard the first opening - and given the popularity of the anime itself, as well as the quality of the soundtracks and art, I had faith from the very beginning on "Attack on Titan" high hopes – and now I’ve finally found the perfect moment to start watching.
And since at the beginning I first noted the art and soundtrack, then this, I think, is exactly what attracted most people to watch this anime: memorable character designs, really high-quality (especially by the standards of 2013) art, and the whole this action reigning in the title is accompanied by music from such famous composers and performers in the anime fan community as Hiroyuki Sawano and Mika Kobayashi, OSTs from which are almost always able to give the viewer goosebumps. I’ll tell you straight - at the moment "Attack on Titan" is for me one of the titles with the best music and graphics. Often I start to love a song from an anime not because it is really that good, but because it brings back a lot of memories associated with the anime it belongs to, but in this case I admired the epicness of the soundtrack long before watching it .
However, the main component by which you need to judge a title is still the plot, and it seemed to me quite good here - I was especially struck by the elaboration of the world closed by walls: everything was thought out, both the army fighting the titans, and its units, and the weapons for confrontation... Most of all, I think, of all these magnificent ideas of the author, I was impressed by the Spatial Maneuvering Devices (or SMD), because it not only looks cool (well, you must agree, flying people are really epic), but also thought out in terms of operation, that is it requires a lot of training to use, it's useless on the plains, and there are a lot of other ideas that make this device look like something that could exist in reality. Why, it even comes with drawings! And this, by the way, is another plus regarding the elaboration of the world - the inserts in the middle of the episodes are filled interesting information regarding the lives of people in this universe, for the sake of which even the series is not too lazy to pause for a couple of seconds.
She said about the plot, but in the end she started talking about the structure of the world, yeah. The plot is based on a guy named Eren Yeager, who, after a childhood trauma, finally decided to join the reconnaissance squad and vowed to destroy all the titans. Actually, after he and his friends join the army and a fierce mess begins with

transformations of people into titans,

with reincarnation

It worked like a charm:

I understand perfectly well that the main character could not die in the very first episodes, but at the same time the thought does not even occur to me that he could grow himself the body of a titan and go save humanity

So, in general, there are no complaints about the first half of the season - the first thirteen episodes flew by in one breath. And here's what's next...
And then, in fact, we have the same trick with

transformation of man into titanium

But now it’s not only Eren who will shine with his abilities, but mostly

his friend from his training days. And they actually tried to present this as a detective story, but correct me if I’m wrong - almost from the first episode with the appearance of a female titan, the viewer should realize that this is Annie! I mean, before leaving the walls there was even a scene with Eren and his friends and acquaintances, and there the emphasis was placed on Annie’s absence, they say, “here, everyone has gone, some to intelligence, some to the Life Guards, some somewhere else, and where did Annie go? And after you’ve already screamed at the screen about the true nature of the titan girl, you’re also forced to watch the drawn-out battle between her and the reconnaissance squad (and it’s really drawn-out, in my opinion). I don’t consider the characters in this situation to be stupid - putting myself in Eren’s place, I also wouldn’t suspect the left acquaintance, with whom I almost never crossed paths, however, from the point of view of me as a viewer, in front of me not only does a solution immediately arise, but also after that you have to sit and wait until it is finally revealed. It's drawn out.

Besides this, there are a couple more moments that don’t exactly change the attitude towards the title, but also jarred a little - for example, the scene in the first episode where mothers from the crowd, whose son went on reconnaissance, later brought him his hand. While watching I had only one question - WHY? What was the point? Have you finally decided to break the poor woman’s psyche? Really, if the detachment commander himself had told her that her son had died, she would not have believed it? I understand that in such an anime you cannot do without cruelty, but here it was simply inappropriate!
Continuing the theme with the lack of logic - here it’s more likely not a matter of cruelty, but of unreality: for example, when in the forest Erwin - or Levi, one of them - gave orders to the squad, flying through the trees and fighting off a titan (I, of course, not an expert, but they simply would not have heard him in the noise of the battle). Or when Pixis spoke to people from the wall, talking about Eren. Do you remember what the walls are like there? If I still have doubts about the scene in the forest, then in this case how did they hear him? It reminded me of the scenes with Satsuki Kiryuin, but unlike "Kill la Kill" V "Attack on Titan" There is no genre of “comedy” to which this mistake could be attributed.
And yet, even taking into account the shortcomings I mentioned, this anime impressed me. I think the first place in the “Best Action” tournament is more than deserved, I spent a whole paragraph talking about my admiration for the structure of the world, and how many characters are left that I look forward to revealing in subsequent seasons... Yes, the second season promises to be epic. But I will evaluate it only after watching it, but I can give the final verdict to the first one now. And to be fair, it deserves an 8/10, but I'll give it an extra point for the stunning soundtrack and graphics. Total – 9/10 .

Eren seeks to destroy the giants and explore the world around us. His philosophy is “Fighting is life, losing is death.” At the age of 9, he saved Mikasa, a girl whose family was killed by slave traders. Ranked only fifth among the graduating cadets of his group, as he has no special talents in the field of combat skills, but he compensates for this with great diligence and determination.

Later he discovers the ability to turn into a 15-meter giant. In the beginning main character could not completely control the summoned titan, but after long training he gained a wide range of abilities and absolute control. When the giant can no longer function, Eren emerges from the back of the titan's neck (the weak point of every titan), where his body merges with the spine. Later he discovers the ability to control giants. His father Grisha disappeared after the fall of Shiganshina, leaving Eren the key to a room in the basement of their house, which he kept locked, and containing some kind of secret. Later it turns out that he could turn into a giant. Was eaten by Eren.

Titans

ABOUT titans (Japanese: 巨人 kyojin) little is known: they attack instinctively and, although they devour people, in principle they do not need food and can survive by absorbing sunlight. Having filled their belly with people, the titans spit them out in the form of a huge ball. Titans do not react to animals at all. They have tough skin and the ability to regenerate, so can only be killed by making a deep cut at the base of the neck. This fact forced humanity to come up with a “spatial maneuvering device” (Japanese: 立体機動装置 rittai kido: so:chi, verb. "device for mobile maneuvering in three-dimensional space») . With its help, it is possible to quickly move in three-dimensional space, clinging to objects and ledges, which makes it possible to reach the weak point of the titans. The use of the device requires special physical training, excellent knowledge of information on its use and, most importantly, a sense of balance.

It is unknown how the titans appeared on Earth. The smallest are 3 meters tall, and the largest known titanium - Colossus - is over 50 meters. Some titans are very similar to humans, some have a head or torso that is disproportionately huge. It is known that a titan does not require food or water to survive. Their main source of energy is the sun, otherwise they hibernate. The temperature of titanium is so high that contact with the body can cause burns, and when titans are wounded, steam escapes from the body. Despite their enormous size, the weight of titans is incredibly light. If you cut off part of a titan's body, it will quickly recover, however, if you cut out the part between the back of the head and the base of the titan's neck, then it dies. It is known that in fact, some titans can take human form (Eren, Annie, Bertholdt, Reiner, Ymir, Frida (Historia's half-sister), Gregory (Eren's father), Zeke). In human form, their bodies quickly regenerate, releasing steam. However, simple titans do not distinguish such “people” and try to eat them, like the rest. In order to take the form of a titan, they need to wound themselves and concentrate on a specific goal. The body itself ends up in the titanium’s neck - precisely in the vulnerable part. It is unknown if normal titans can have humans in their necks, or if they were humans in the past. Connie, seeing the titan on the destroyed home, noted that the creature was strikingly similar to his mother. In the manga, there is a special type of titan that looks like a monkey, has intelligence and is able to speak, however, its motives were no different from ordinary titans. In the process of studying the titans, a theory arose that they were all people, and that if a person long time arrives in the titanium’s neck, it is “assimilated,” that is, it finally merges with the spine. It has been noticed that titans are both normal and abnormal (not similar in activity), they are also capable of jumping after a victim or running on all 4 legs like a dog, they are extremely dangerous because of their activity.

Notes

An excerpt characterizing the List of Attack on Titan characters

Hidden very deep, pain screamed in Sever's eyes. There was so much of it that it flooded me completely!.. And I couldn’t believe that I had finally discovered his warm, pure soul. That he was finally alive again!..
- North, what should I do? Aren't you scared that the world is ruled by such non-humans as Caraffa?..
– I have already suggested to you, Isidora, that we go again to Meteora to see the Lord... Only he can help you. Unfortunately, I can't...
For the first time, I felt his disappointment so clearly... Disappointment with my helplessness... Disappointment with the way he lived... Disappointment with his outdated TRUTH...
Apparently, a person’s heart is not always able to fight what it is accustomed to, what it has believed in all its adult life... So is the North - it could not so easily and completely change, even realizing that it was wrong. He lived for centuries, believing that he was helping people... believing that he was doing exactly what, one day, would save our imperfect Earth, would help it finally be born... He believed in goodness and in the future, despite to losses and pain that I could have avoided if I had opened my heart earlier...
But we are all, apparently, imperfect – even the North. And no matter how painful the disappointment may be, we have to live with it, correcting some old mistakes and making new ones, without which our Earthly life would not be real...
– Do you have a little time for me, Sever? I would like to know what you did not have time to tell me the last time we met. Have I tired you with my questions? If yes, tell me and I will try not to bother you. But if you agree to talk to me, you will give me a wonderful gift, since what you know, no one will tell me while I am still here on Earth...
– What about Anna?.. Don’t you prefer to spend time with her?
– I called her... But my girl is probably sleeping, because she doesn’t answer... She’s tired, I think. I don't want to disturb her peace. Therefore, talk to me, North.
He looked me sadly and knowingly in the eyes and quietly asked:
– What do you want to know, my friend? Ask - I will try to answer everything that worries you.
– Svetodar, Sever... What happened to him? How did the son of Radomir and Magdalena live his life on Earth?..
The North began to think... Finally, taking a deep breath, as if throwing off the obsession of the past, he began his next exciting story...
– After the crucifixion and death of Radomir, Svetodar was taken to Spain by the Knights of the Temple to save him from the bloody clutches of the “holy” church, which, no matter the cost, tried to find and destroy him, since the boy was the most dangerous living witness, and also , the direct successor of Radomir’s Tree of Life, which was supposed to someday change our world.
Svetodar lived and learned about his surroundings in the family of a Spanish nobleman, who was a faithful follower of the teachings of Radomir and Magdalene. Your children, to theirs great sadness, they didn’t have one, so the “new family” received the boy very cordially, trying to create for him as comfortable and warm as possible home environment. They called him Amori (which meant dear, beloved), since it was dangerous for Svyatodar to be called by his real name. It sounded too unusual for someone else’s ears, and it was more than unreasonable to risk Svetodar’s life because of this. So Svetodar became Amory’s boy for everyone else, and only his friends and his family called him by his real name. And then, only when there were no strangers nearby...
Remembering very well the death of his beloved father, and still suffering cruelly, Svetodar vowed in his childish heart to “remake” this cruel and ungrateful world. He vowed to devote his future life to others to show how ardently and selflessly he loved Life, and how fiercely his deceased father fought for Good and Light...
Together with Svetodar, his uncle, Radan, remained in Spain, who did not leave the boy night or day, and was endlessly worried about his fragile, still unformed life.
Radan doted on his wonderful nephew! And he was endlessly frightened by the fact that one day someone would definitely track them down and end the valuable life of little Svetodar, who, even then, from the very first years of his existence, was destined by a harsh fate to carry the torch of Light and Knowledge to our merciless, but so dear and the familiar, Earthly world.
Eight intense years have passed. Svetodar turned into a wonderful young man, now much more like his courageous father, Jesus-Radomir. He matured and became stronger, and in his clear blue eyes the familiar steel tint that had once flashed so brightly in the eyes of his father began to appear more and more often.
Svetodar lived and studied very diligently, hoping with all his heart to someday become like Radomir. The Magus Isten, who came there, taught him Wisdom and Knowledge. Yes, yes, Isidora! – Noticing my surprise, Seever smiled. - the same Isten you met in Meteor. Isten, together with Radan, tried in every possible way to develop Svetodar’s living thinking, trying to open the mysterious World of Knowledge for him as widely as possible, so that (in case of trouble) the boy would not remain helpless and would be able to stand up for himself, coming face to face with an enemy or losses.
Having once said goodbye to his wonderful sister and Magdalena, Svetodar never saw them alive again... And although almost every month someone brought him fresh news from them, his lonely heart deeply missed his mother and sister - his the only real family, not counting Uncle Radan. But, despite his early age, Svetodar even then learned not to show his feelings, which he considered the unforgivable weakness of a real man. He aspired to grow up to be a Warrior like his father, and did not want to show his vulnerability to others. This is how Uncle Radan taught him... and this is what his mother... distant and beloved Golden Maria asked in her messages.
After the senseless and terrible death of Magdalene, all inner world Svetodar turned into pure pain... His wounded soul did not want to come to terms with such an unfair loss. And although Uncle Radan had been preparing him for such an opportunity for a long time, the misfortune that came hit the young man with a hurricane of unbearable torment, from which there was no salvation... His soul suffered, writhing in impotent anger, because nothing could be changed... nothing could be returned back. His wonderful, gentle mother left for a distant and unfamiliar world, taking his sweet little sister with her...
He was now left completely alone in this cruel, cold reality, not even having time to become a real adult man, and not being able to properly understand how to stay alive in all this hatred and hostility...
But the blood of Radomir and Magdalena, apparently, did not flow in vain in their only son - having suffered his pain and remaining just as persistent, Svetodar surprised even Radan, who (like no one else!) knew how deeply vulnerable the soul can be, and how hard it is sometimes given returning back, where those you loved and for whom you so sincerely and deeply missed are no longer there...
Svetodar did not want to surrender to the mercy of grief and pain... The more mercilessly his life “beat” him, the more fiercely he tried to fight, learning the ways to the Light, to Good, and to the salvation of those lost in the darkness human souls... People came to him in a stream, begging for help. Some longed to get rid of the disease, some longed to cure their hearts, and some simply strove for the Light that Svetodar so generously shared.
Radan's anxiety grew. The fame of the “miracles” performed by his careless nephew exceeded the Pyrenees Mountains... More and more sufferers wanted to turn to the newly-minted “miracle worker.” And he, as if not noticing the impending danger, continued to refuse no one, confidently walking in the footsteps of the deceased Radomir...
Several more troubled years passed. Svetodar matured, becoming stronger and calmer. Together with Radan, they long ago moved to Occitania, where even the air seemed to breathe the teachings of his mother, the untimely death of Magdalene. The surviving Knights of the Temple accepted her son with open arms, vowing to protect him and help him as much as they could.
And then one day the day came when Radan felt a real, openly threatening danger... It was the eighth anniversary of the death of Golden Maria and Vesta - Svetodar’s beloved mother and sister...

“Look, Isidora...” Sever said quietly. - I'll show you if you want.
A bright, but dreary, living picture immediately appeared in front of me...
The gloomy, foggy mountains were generously sprinkled with an annoying, drizzling rain, leaving a feeling of uncertainty and sadness in the soul... A gray, impenetrable haze wrapped the nearest castles in cocoons of fog, turning them into lonely veterans, guarding eternal peace in the valley... The Valley of the Magicians looked gloomily to a cloudy, joyless picture, remembering bright, joyful days, illuminated by the rays of the hot summer sun... And this made everything around me even more dreary and sadder.
A tall and slender young man stood as a frozen “statue” at the entrance of a familiar cave, not moving and not showing any signs of life, like a sad stone statue carved by an unfamiliar master right into the same cold stone rock... I realized that this was probably an adult Svetodar. He looked mature and strong. Powerful and at the same time very kind... A proud, high-raised head spoke of fearlessness and honor. Very long blond hair, tied on his forehead with a red ribbon, fell in heavy waves over his shoulders, making him look like an ancient king... a proud descendant of the Meravingleys. Leaning against a damp stone, Svetodar stood, feeling neither cold nor moisture, or rather, feeling nothing...
Here, exactly eight years ago, his mother, Golden Maria, and his little sister, brave, affectionate Vesta, died... They died, brutally and vilely killed by a crazy, evil man... sent by the “fathers” of the Holy Church. Magdalena never lived to hug her matured son, as bravely and devotedly as she, walking along the familiar road of Light and Knowledge.... Along the cruel earthly road of bitterness and loss...

“Svetodar could never forgive himself for not being here when they needed his protection,” Sever continued quietly again. – Guilt and bitterness gnawed at his pure, warm heart, forcing him to fight even more fiercely with the non-human, who called themselves “servants of God”, “saviors” of the human soul... He clenched his fists and swore to himself for the thousandth time that he would “rebuild” this “wrong” earthly world! Destroy everything false, “black” and evil in him...
On Svetodar’s broad chest was red the bloody cross of the Knights Templar... The cross in memory of Magdalene. And no Earth power could not make him forget the oath of knightly vengeance. How kind and affectionate to the bright and honest people was his young heart, so ruthless and harsh was his cold brain towards traitors and “servants” of the church. Svetodar was too decisive and strict towards himself, but surprisingly patient and kind towards others. And only people without conscience and honor aroused his real hostility. He did not forgive betrayal and lies in any form they manifested, and fought against this shame of man with all possible means, sometimes even knowing that he could lose.
Suddenly, through a gray veil of rain, strange, unprecedented water ran along the rock hanging right above him, dark splashes of which sprinkled the walls of the cave, leaving eerie brown drops on it... Svetodar, who had gone deep into himself, did not pay attention to it at first, but then Having taken a closer look, I shuddered - the water was dark red! It flowed from the mountain in a stream of dark “human blood”, as if the Earth itself, no longer able to withstand the meanness and cruelty of man, opened with the wounds of all his sins... After the first stream, the second... the third... the fourth... Until the whole mountain streams of red water did not flow. There was a lot of it... It seemed that the holy blood of Magdalene was crying out for vengeance, reminding the living of her sorrow!.. In the lowlands, seething red streams merged into one, filling the wide river Aude, which, not paying attention to anything , swam majestically, washing the walls of old Carcassonne along the way, carrying its streams further into the warm blue sea...

Red clay in Occitanie

(Having visited these sacred places, I managed to find out that the water in the mountains of Occitania turns red due to red clay. But the sight of running “bloody” water really made a very strong impression...).
Suddenly Svetodar listened warily... but then smiled warmly.
– Are you taking care of me again, uncle?.. I told you a long time ago that I don’t want to hide!
Radan came out from behind the stone ledge, sadly shaking his gray head. The years had not spared him, leaving a hard imprint of anxiety and loss on his bright face... He no longer seemed like that happy young man, that ever-laughing sun-Radan who could once melt even the hardest heart. Now he was a Warrior, seasoned by adversity, trying by any means to preserve his most precious treasure - the son of Radomir and Magdalene, the only living reminder of their tragic lives...their courage...their light and their love.
– You have a Duty, Svetodarushka... Just like I do. You must survive. Whatever it takes. Because if you are gone too, it will mean that your father and mother died in vain. That scoundrels and cowards won our war... You have no right to this, my boy!
- You're wrong, uncle. I have my right to this, since this is my life! And I will not allow anyone to write laws for it in advance. My father lived his life short life, submitting to someone else's will... Just like my poor mother. Only because, by someone else’s decision, they saved those who hated them. I do not intend to submit to the will of one person, even if this person is my own grandfather. This is my life, and I will live it as I consider necessary and honest!.. Sorry, Uncle Radan!
Svetodar got excited. His young mind rebelled against the influence of others on his own destiny. According to the law of youth, he wanted to decide for himself, not allowing someone from the outside to influence his valuable life. Radan only smiled sadly, watching his courageous pet... Svetodar had enough of everything - strength, intelligence, endurance and perseverance. He wanted to live his life honestly and openly... only, unfortunately, he did not yet understand that there could be no open war with those who were hunting him. Simply because they were the ones who had neither honor, nor conscience, nor heart...
- Well, in your own way you are right, my boy... This is your life. And no one can live it except you... I am sure you will live it with dignity. Just be careful, Svetodar - the blood of your father flows in you, and our enemies will never give up to destroy you. Take care of yourself, my dear.
Patting his nephew on the shoulder, Radan sadly stepped aside and disappeared behind a ledge of a stone rock. A second later, a scream and heavy scuffling were heard. Something fell heavily to the ground and there was silence... Svetodar rushed towards the sound, but it was too late. On the stone floor of the cave, clutched in a final embrace, lay two bodies, one of which was a man unfamiliar to him, dressed in a cloak with a red cross, the second was... Radan. With a piercing cry, Svetodar rushed to his uncle’s body, which lay completely motionless, as if life had already left him, without even allowing him to say goodbye. But, as it turned out, Radan was still breathing.
- Uncle, please don’t leave me!.. Not you... I beg you, don’t leave me, uncle!

YMIR AND THE WORLD BEHIND THE WALLS:

★ origin of the Giants
★ Great Giant War
★ the world behind the walls
★ Progenitor Titan power and Coordinate
★ Invasion targets Bertolt Hoover, Reiner Brown, Annie Leonhart

Does everyone remember how the first season of the series began? Since Eren's friend Armin Arleth is teased for his belief that there is life outside the walls. And in fact, it exists.

The history of the emergence of Intelligent Giants begins with Ymir Fritz. A young girl of royal blood makes a deal with a demon, receiving power from him Giant Progenitor. The power of Ymir was so great that with her help Eldia was able to capture another country - Marley.

But after the death of Ymir Fritz, her power was divided between 9 Giants, then formed Eldian Empire. For many centuries, the Eldian Empire waged war with Marley, almost completely destroying her nation and capturing the entire continental continent. The Eldian Empire has repeatedly resorted to genocide against Marley.

One of the 9 Titans could have "Coordinate", a special power that made it possible to control not only the Titans, but also the memory of people. Soon, strife began in the country. The power of Ymir was passed on from ruler to ruler until it passed to To the 145th King of the Fritz family, who inherited the power of the Progenitor Titan. He is also the First King.

Out of greed and desire to rule alone, the First King moves the capital of the state to the island Paradis, not caring at all about maintaining order in Eldia, which was what his ancestors had been doing for centuries.

The previously disadvantaged Marleyans begin to rebel against the Eldians, thereby beginning Great War Titans. Marley manages to capture 7 of the 9 Giants from Eldia and thereby turn the tide of the war in her favor. To protect himself, the First King, using the power of the Coordinate, controls the Colossal Giants, lining them up in three rings, thereby forming three walls: Maria, Rose, Sheena.

The First King told the rulers Marley, that if they try to continue the war, he will use the power of the Coordinate and release the Titans from the walls. The king erased the memory of all the inhabitants behind the walls, replacing it with the knowledge that the entire world outside the walls was captured by the Giants and there were no more surviving people except them. The only ones who are not subject to manipulation of consciousness are Asians and the Ackerman family.

Marlia, in itself, is a very developed country: electricity, cars, houses and all kinds of technical equipment, all this allows it to surpass the Eldians. But under the island of Paradis there is a huge reserve of minerals and, on reflection, the government of Marley sends its soldiers beyond the walls in order to capture the Coordinate: Bertolt Hoover, Rainer Braun, Annie Leonhart and Marcel(who was eaten by Ymir).

WHO ARE THE TITANS?

Once upon a time, before the main events of the series began, the project was founded "Destruction of Humanity". Titans were created by project participants from ordinary people. There is a known way to transform into an unreasonable Giant. It is enough to inject a person with Titan spinal fluid for him to transform. But it remains questionable how Connie Springer's mother became the Giant.

WHERE DID THE SENTIENT TITANS COME FROM?

You and I now know that all Titans are people. Transformation into an intelligent Giant is similar to transformation into an unreasonable one. To gain the powers of an intelligent Titan and the ability to return to human form, you must devour the owner of the power of an intelligent Giant. So, for example, Grisha Yeager– Eren’s father passed on his power to his son, turning him into an unreasonable Giant and allowing him to eat himself. It is not necessary to absorb a person entirely. Enough to eat it cerebrospinal fluid. The very origin of the Giants goes back to ancient times and Ymir Fritz, who was the first human giant.

WHY ARE THERE TITANS IN THE WALLS?

The 145th King of the Fritz family, also known as the First King, built three walls: Maria, Rose and Sheena, for the safety of his people. By resorting to force Progenitor Titan, The 145th King ordered them to form a colony, covering themselves with armor. In the event of an attack from outside, the First King will awaken the Titans from the walls using the Coordinate.

BEAST-LIKE GIANT - WHO IS HE?

Zeke Yeager- he is also the general of the Marley squad, represented by Bertolt Hoover, Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart and Marcel, who were sent beyond the walls to capture the Coordinate. He is a Hairy, Beast-like Giant and also Eren's half-brother, from Grisha Yeager and Dina Fritz (Grisha's first wife).

WHAT IS IN EREN'S BASEMENT?

This question interests many fans of Invasion of the Giants - what's in Eren Yeager's basement?? In his basement, Eren's father hid three books. One of them contains a photograph of Grisha, Dina and their son Zik. On the reverse side there is a note that humanity, outside the walls, has not died out. Books, most likely, on the history of the world and Marley in particular.

SOME GUESSES AND MY ASSUMPTIONS:

Let me make a few assumptions. I want to warn you that they do not have an exact basis and you have every right not to rely on them as reliable information.
What did Ymir read on the can of food that made Reiner surprised?
Does everyone remember the episode of the second season of the anime, where the reconnaissance squad is in Utgard Castle? Ymir reads "unknown writing" on a can of canned food. Ymir was born and lived for a long time in Marley, before she was injected with the serum and thrown off the wall. It is likely that a separate written language and Reiner realized that the girl knew too much.

Why do they need Christa (Historia)?
The power of the Giants was passed down from generation to generation. Frida Reiss is Historia's half-sister and the last bearer of the Coordinate. Probably, the Marleyans believed that it was Frida’s sister who got the Coordinate.

FACTS:

★ Each Giant Man is given 13 years to live., after which his strength begins to fade, and the person himself dies. That is why power is transmitted.

★ It was mentioned on the anime's official website that Ymir is in love with Christa. George Wada also confirmed at Animagic 2014 that Ymir and Krista are a couple.

★ Grisha's first wife - Dina Fritz, being an unreasonable Giant, ate Eren's mother - Grisha's real wife at that time.
#family squabbles, #jealousy, #criminal Shiganshina.

Perhaps someone already knows this from the manga, but for others it will be a revelation. In any case, thank you for your attention and reading. And less spoilers in the anime!

"was a rock musician, she would fill stadiums and make girls go crazy and tear their clothes - this anime is so cool. Naturally, "Attack" would not have had any popularity and the title of "modern classic" if its characters had not were 50% interesting and 50% cool.

There is still plenty of time until season 2 (the creators promise a premiere in the spring of 2017, but who knows), so all that remains is to endlessly review the episodes and compile collections like these.

Jean receives an honorable 1st place in the category " Mister-I-say-what-I-think-and-don’t-worry-about-it.". In the past inveterate egoist who only cared own safety, as the series progresses, it's cool evolved into a respected member of society, ready to stand up to protect his friends. The story of Marco, who died in the Battle of Trost, taught Jean a lot: at that fateful moment he realized that he had no right to allow anyone else to die.

Yes, Armin is not the fastest, not the strongest, not the most daring, and he doesn’t look much like a bullet, but he mental skills deserve honor in the TOP. Possessing excellent analytical warehouse mind, Armin knows how to develop strategies and tactics, which save dozens of human and, especially, friendly lives. In fact, he is so smart that the commander himself completely trusts his intuition. Motsk Armin's mind is not inferior in strength and lethality even to sophisticated weapons. In season 2 they will clearly show us how much harm can be done by talking alone.

Crazy, passionate and hot as can be Eren is not afraid of almost anything. Once he has said his word, convincing him is mission impossible. He completely confident in your decisions, trusts his intuition (for good reason) and, as a bonus, transforms into a 15-meter hippopotamus Titan. Annoying at first with his weakness and whining, the boy walked through a sea of ​​game and became the ideal hero for such a dark and powerful anime as "Attack on Titan".

This seemingly innocent creature with the look of the cat from Shrek is not at all what she seems. Her fighting skills are beyond what we understand. Mikasa confidently almost- leads the race in the number of Titans killed. Cold, calculating, she strives with all her hands and other parts of her body to protect those who are dear to her. Mikasa's character is so strong that everyone from average anime fans to dedicated feminists will love her. “And you’re from Maybelene,” naturally.

It would be strange to give first place NOT the strongest soldier of "Attack". It’s as if he absorbs Armin’s analytical abilities and Mikasa’s fighting bloodthirstiness and produces an excellent mix of them that allows destroy Titans like seeds. Levi will never doubt whether to take out the blade, and his status in society is described at least by the fact that the impenetrable Eren listens to Ackerman's advice. Levi is incredibly cool and clearly outdoes you in this, accept it. Unless you're Chuck Norris.
