Attack on Titan (Japanese: 進撃の巨人, Hepburn: Shingeki no Kyojin, lit.'The Advancing Giant') is a Japanese dark fantasy anime television series, adapted from the manga series of the same name by Hajime Isayama. The series premiered on April 7, 2013, and concluded on November 5, 2023. It has aired on MBS TV (first two seasons) and NHK General TV (third season onwards).

Set in a post-apocalyptic world where the remains of humanity live behind walls protecting them from giant humanoid Titans, Attack on Titan follows protagonist Eren Yeager, along with friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert.
