Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by giants. Giants are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of giants.
Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a giant in over 100 years. Teenage boy Elen and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a super giant that appears out of thin air. As the smaller giants flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Elen vows that he will murder every single giant and take revenge for all of mankind.

I'm at episode 22 and I'm not sure if I'll be going past the 1st season... The premise is potentially interesting but the pacing and the dialogue is kinda horrible.
Does it get better later?

Giants. Fucking giants everywhere.
i have no idea what direction the story's gonna go but if there's one thing awesome about this show, it's the music. THAT MUSIC. hard rock and a lot of influence from german music. this anime is a treat for the ears as most anime are.
