I don't know how many of you guys are anime fans. I myself used to be a huge one when I was younger, now a bit more sparingly when it comes to modern seires, but I always love what I'd consider to be the best of the crop when I check it out. I had heard of this show Attack on Titan because Team Four Star(the guys who make DBZ Abridged) started an abridged series of it, but I had no clue what it was until a friend of mine only a few days later had forced me to watch an episode.
This has to be one of the most crushing anime shows I have ever watched. The concept is a rather unique spin on an amalgamation of cliched plots, where all of humanity has been forced to live within this giant wall to protect life from these creatures called "Titans," which are basically naked humanoid giants that look like pedophiles and seem perpetually interested in killing and eating humans. Humanity's been safe for 100 years behind the wall, but as you can guess, one day, something happens that compromises that safety, and tragedy just hits.
The animation is top notch; there's a lot of movement and detail as opposed to the limited animation of most anime. It's actually a lot like watching an anime film as a large series. It takes some turns you don't really expect ad keeps you hooked to see more after every episode I've watched so far. Episode 1 starts a bit slow, but it becomes so heavy by the end.
If you like anime or you are the type of person that can appreciate a really well put-together anime, you should check this out. You can sign up for a free account on Funimation.com and watch the whole series on stream. I'm 9 episodes in and can't peel myself away. Here's a link:

The show is a little slow at the start, but once it kicks off, it kicks off.
