If you guys watch Attack on Titan.. we are now considered best friends.
If you are going to watch just one anime in your life.. make it Attack on Titan. It's worth it.
Here is a summary from Wikipedia that explains the whole beginning story:
The story of Attack on Titan centers around the adventures of Eren Yeager, his adopted sister, Mikasa Ackerman, and their childhood friend, Armin Arlert.
Armin, Eren, and Mikasa
Shiganshina
After the wall which protects their hometown of Shiganshina is
breached by Titans, Eren watches in horror as one of them eats his mother. Vowing to kill all Titans, Eren enlists in the military, along with his friends.
Five years later, the three cadet graduates are positioned in Trost
District, one of the border towns jutting out of Wall Rose, when the
Titans attack again. In the ensuing battle, Eren is eaten by one of the
Titans before Armin's eyes.
A Titan later appears and begins fighting
the other Titans while ignoring humans; the Titan is revealed to be
Eren, who has developed the ability to transform into one. Though he is
seen as a threat by some, he helps the military take back Trost
District. After being placed on trial for being a danger to the humans,
he is taken in by the Survey Corps' Special Operations Squad, led by Captain Levi.
In an expedition to Shinganshina, the Scouts are attacked by a Female Titan
who attempts to capture Eren. Although the Scouts are able to briefly
capture the Female Titan, she breaks free and devastates Levi's squad,
forcing the expedition to retreat. Armin determines that the Female
Titan is Annie, one of the cadets who taught Eren to fight, and devises a
plan to capture her at Stohess.
Others are discovered to be able to transform into Titans, with
several seeking Eren for some unknown purpose which they refer to as the
Coordinate. The Walls themselves seem to be hiding something from the
populace as shown by the fact that Titans make up the walls. As is the
royal family and the Military Police who also need Eren to keep him from
causing an uprising, as well as his friend Krista Lenz, who is really named Historia and is next in line to the throne.
The Survey Corps, seeing the turmoil and decadence caused by the
power behind the figurehead king, the Reiss Family, decide to mount a
rebellion and use Eren and Historia as bait. The rebellion is successful
but Rod Reiss, the current king, captures Eren and Historia. Rod
reveals that a Titan, an ancestor of the Reiss bloodline, was the one
who created the walls 100 years ago and used its power to modify
humanity's memories with only the Ackerman bloodline and the recently
near extinct Asian ethnicity immune to the effect and ostracized as a
result. Revealing that the Coordinate which the Reiss Family guard for
generations was stolen by Eren's father Grinsha, who is the one who
turned Eren into a Titan to obtain the power by devouring him, Rod
intended to have Historia consume Eren as a Titan to restore the status
quo.
However, remembering Frieda and Ymir, Historia refuses to aid her
father's scheme and frees Eren. This forces a devastated Rod to take the
serum and become an Original Titan himself as Eren's friends arrive to
save him and Historia. After Mikasa and Historia snap him out of his
conflict to fight, Eren resolves to fight Rod as he is now consumed by
an impulse to wipe out humanity.
There ya go! Awesome summary of Attack on Titan for all those beginner Otakus!
