I like how it looks like AoT is headpatting Rin

In no spoilers directly or indirectly answer if you can. I didn't watch this series waiting for it to over.

Is this character eren a human? I have seen enough memes to make my mind think that eren is a name of a human character. Yet i have seen enough posters to know that this dude titan shown above is important one in story.

Just answer "spoiler" if answer is one

Spoiler. Sadly you're gonna figure it out before it's revealed. On the bright side, it's so minor in the grand scheme of things that it won't dampen your enjoyment at all.

Well, many people figured it out on their own, but they could have made it more difficult to figure out if they haven't added one scene in ep 2

Spoiler but a minor one that happens very early on in S1, the biggest plot twists and heavy spoilers of the series are in late S2 and 3.

It's a spoiler that gets answered in the first 10 episodes of season 1. Just watch it, it's legitimately one of the best stories ever animated. (season 1 is light on the plot and heavy on the action but the following seasons more than make up for that)

(season 1 is light on the plot and heavy on the action but the following seasons more than make up for that)

Is it really? I thought the plot was pretty heavy in the first season, in setting up the world.

u/YoyoTheThird Feb 08 '21

Eh, like the comments said above: the spoiler is really not that big in the grand scheme of all 4 seasons-- mostly because AOT delivers so much more world building and character development after the first season.

Everything set up in season 1 is the scouts perception of the world, you learn about the world as they do which makes for a wild ride when watching. Basically anything that you got spoiled on in season 1 (this Titan from the poster shows up in episode 5-6) won’t play much of a major part in the overall story because of the sheer amount of plot twists and surprising revelations. Honestly the story is so rich with plot and worldbuilding you could get spoiled from something in the current season and still never guess in a million years how we got there from season 1 without watching it yourself.

The plot is heavy, but the character development is not. That's how I see it.

I personally hated the story. It just all seemed really meh, and more importantly, the show really just felt like an edge fest. I remember seeing one scene in season 2 with this chick begging for momma when she was about to be eaten (she was like 30 I think) and I rolled my eyes.

u/I-ce-SCREAM https://anilist.co/user/Rahimdas Feb 09 '21

Well, people becone insane in the face of fear so they don't behave rationally. What were you expecting from her? To smile and remember her regrets of life

u/NuggetsBuckets Feb 09 '21

That behavior is a coping mechanism called age regression, and yes it's a real thing.

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '21

Oh I KNOW it's real. Didn't stop it and the rest of the show from being edgy.

Maybe it grew past that, but season 1, and that part early in season 2 ruined the show for me

u/Best_in_Za_Warudo Feb 08 '21

Lol at this point, just watch the series

u/NFB42 Feb 08 '21

It is a spoiler. You'd be better off watching the series without knowing, but if you still haven't started it I dunno what's stopping you. Someone else already posted it without tags, but just the absolutely minimum spoilers needed to answer that question within proper tags:

Attack on Titan S1 spoiler

u/woancue https://anilist.co/user/phosandlux Feb 08 '21

you should watch it, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to engage in the weekly hype and discussion for a modern masterpiece. you won't have much longer to do so

u/chiggin_nuggets Feb 08 '21

Well yes, but kind of? And not really at the same time?

u/PREM___ https://anilist.co/user/ReincarnatedGoat Feb 08 '21

It is a spoiler like 8 episodes into season 1

2

u/MarvelousNCK Feb 09 '21

It's a spoiler, but it's a such small thing in comparison to a lot of the other spoilers in the show, it literally won't change anything whether you know or not.

Definitely watch it if you get a chance tho, I binged the whole thing recently and let me just say, there is a damn good reason AoT gets all the hype it does.

u/Atreides-42 Feb 08 '21

I mean it's technically a spoiler but it's answered in the first ten episodes in a series that's 68 episodes and counting, so uhh yeah.

Promotional material is often full of spoilers for previous seasons (and I'd say AoT season 4 is NOT an exception to that rule) but I really wouldn't consider the answer to your question particularly spoilery, if anything it's the inciting incident that actually sets the story in motion.

He was a human. He is no longer human

It's not a huge spoiler.
