In Greek mythology, Titans were the giant creatures and children of Gaea (Earth) and Uranus (Heaven). They rebelled against their father, Uranus, who had them shut in the underworld. They were these giant creatures made of rock that destroyed everything in their path. As the myth goes, their leader Cronus killed his father Uranus and led the Titans to victory against Uranus.
However, in the 21st century, Titans do not mean Giants from the Greek mythologies, but rather, the colossus creatures made of rocks that killed Eren’s mother. ‘Attack on Titan’ is returning to the screens, and we could not be any happier. The second part of the final season of our favorite anime is confirmed to be released this winter. The latest trailer that dropped in December not only hyped the fans but also assured us that the hiatus of the final part will finally be over.
The first three seasons of the show are produced by Wit Studio and Production I.G. The last and most awaited fourth season is produced by MAPPA. The anime is based on the manga series ‘Attack on Titan, also known in Japanese as ‘Shingeki no Kyojin’. The manga series is written by Hajime Isayama, who is an avid fan of the fantasy series ‘Game of Thrones.

Recently, the latest trailer for the anime reached over 16 million views on youtube and counting. This only shows how the fans are eager for the episodes and the love they still harbor for the hit anime series.
As the show is nearing its ending, one cannot deny the amazingness the series encapsulates. With ratings of 9 on IMDb, 96%on Rotten Tomatoes, and 8.5 on Myanimelist, the show is easily one of the most critically acclaimed manga series of the decade. Not to mention the character growth it stipulates is mind-boggling. In the case of plot progression, the show never bores you. It’s a tear-jerker, mind-numbing, science fiction that stays with you even after the season ends. You are left wondering, theorizing, and arguing over the internet.
The theme of ‘the chosen one’ has been shown too many times to count. Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and so many more fiction shows and movies have screened the concept. As viewers were wary of another cliché science fiction, they were not only surprised but pleasantly so. Eren is everything you would imagine a hero to be, and still so much more. There is an evil side to his hero side that is still unexplored. And as the new episodes start streaming, we are more than happy to observe Eren in this new role.
