Attack on Titan is the greatest anime of the new generation with a strong and steady fan base
Attack on Titan is set in a world where civilization has developed inside a cage-like setting. Humans are forced to live in cities that are encircled by three massive walls - Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina - in order to secure themselves against enormous man-eating humanoids known as titans.
Soon, the sense of security in the caged civilization vanishes. After a century of peace, the Shiganshina area witnessed a massive bloodbath during the Titans' attack on Wall Maria.
Eren had to leave his hometown with other survivors when his mother was devoured alive during the invasion. The experience made him promise to wipe out the titans, and that is how the story of the protagonist turning into an antagonist began.
The greatest plot twist
The brutal beauty of Attack on Titan, as conveyed by Hajime Isayama's brilliant writing, displayed a complicated plot that is both magnificent and cruel. Since the series' inception about 10 years ago, the final season's plot has evolved significantly from what it was.
Eren, the series' original hero, has now become the plot's greatest antagonist after committing mass genocide against the rest of the world. The narrative has blurred the line between good and evil. This caused fans to rethink their own beliefs as well as the chronology of the entire series up to this point.
Part 2 of season 4 also revealed how Eren was the mastermind of the story. The audience realized that Eren from the future was the one who had influenced the course of events by manipulating his father, Grisha.
This isn't the first time Isayama has made the entire anime community experience tremendous shock. There were many such incidents in the anime that fans never saw coming. It all started with Eren appearing in his titan form during season 1, after which the trail of shocks and plot twists never stopped.
All the reasons for having an unfaltering fan base
The legacy of Attack on Titan as a genuine masterpiece is the result of several things coming together. The anime has one of the biggest, most devoted, and most consistent fan bases. This fan base, like any other, has experienced everything in the series as one huge global family.
For viewers, it has been a decade-long journey loaded with painful memories, raging moments, the discovery of true friendship, and moral conflict. Fans shed tears with Eren when he lost his mother, laughed with Hange, vowed along with Captain Levi, and also sympathized with the opponents.
