The suspense of Attack on Titan is like its crown jewel. So those reading this, let me tell you. Attack on Titan anime is one of the amazing things you'll ever watch in your lifetime. There, I said it.

Story of the Walls
Shingeki no Kyojin represents a world where Humanity has perished on earth and it is forced to live inside these structures they call ‘The Walls’. The reason Humanity perished and why they live in the walls is to seek protection from these huge human resembling creatures called ‘Titans’.
These Titans can be from as long as 3 meters and up to 15-20 meters too. All the remaining humanity inside three walls which are Wall Maria, which is the outermost wall, Wall Rose and Wall Sheena, which is the innermost wall where most royals live and have an underground city.
It has a social structure with a king and people doing various professions, farming and raising cattle and its army is divided into three parts. Firstly, there is Garrison for patrolling Walls and keeping titans out, then there is Survey Corps, who are responsible to venture outside walls and fight titans and capture territories, and lastly, Military Police who manage the inner administration.
This is somewhat basic as to what is happening in the story and why it happens, whatever may occur.

Characters You'll Love
Eren Yeager- He is the protagonist of the story who loses his mother in a titan raid. He then devotes himself to killing every single titan and joins a survey corps where he is faced with many dangers and works hard for him to achieve his goal.
He is a typical hot head who rushes into everything without thinking and thinks from his heart. He is one of the interesting characters and his character development is one of the best in anime. He is voiced by Yuuki Kaji.
Mikasa Ackermann- She is a friend of Eren and one of the fiercest characters of the season. She is what you call the definition of ‘Overpowered’. She was with Eren when her mother died and is also in the 104th training corps. Plus she is gorgeous and that's why one of the fans' favorites. She is voiced by Yui Ishikawa.
Armin Arlert- He is the best friend of Eren and one of the smartest characters of the show. He also lost his grandfather in the Shiganshina recovery mission and is with Eren in the 104th training corps.
While his character lacks huge strength, he covers up in intelligence. He helps form many strategies for the Corps and helps take down titans. He is voiced by Marina Inoue.
Captain Levi- Calling out other characters might spoil for you but you have to make an exception for Captain Levi. Captain Levi is in the Survey Corps and is the strongest soldier ever. He is the hope of humanity to get any territory and he alone is equal to 10 squadrons. He supervises Eren Yeager and goes beyond overpower.
The Bottom Line
Or to tell you everything I said in one sentence, just watch it Asap. Shingeki no Kyojin is currently running on its 4th and final season with each season having 24 episodes. But it's worth it.
It's worth every minute, the details are so good, I had to watch it 2-3 times and it was worth every time. You'll enjoy this show, you'll love the characters, you'll love how the story progresses and you'll be in tears as per the words of Hajime Isayama, its creator. You can stream ‘Shingeki no Kyojin’ on Crunchyroll and Netflix.
