The Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese) movies were developed in close collaboration with series creator Hajime Isayama and tell the story of a world where the last of humanity fights to survive against almost unstoppable, man-eating giants. The original manga has more than 50 million copies in print, and has inspired four spin-offs and a 25-episode anime series.
