Attack on Titan
This is my favorite book/manga of all time. It made me realize how wrong this world is. How incredibly stupid this freaking world is. I felt like I was the happiest, most optimistic person alive… before I read this book. Now, I feel as if I’m more of a realist or even a pessimist. This sucks in so many ways. I was forced to realize things that I didn’t want to realize. That other people are able to do so many things to you. Good or bad. They can do something whenever they feel like it, and you’re probably going to be the person sitting in the corner, yelling in desperation, “Stop! Stop!” while other people murder and torture people that you love. Don’t put yourself in that situation. If you think to yourself, “What if that was me in this book?” you’re probably going to destroy your mind. I’m not exaggerating, if anything, I’m doing the exact opposite.
Yeah, I want you to read this book, but I’m just warning you. Ask anybody in this class who have read or watched this book. They were probably going to say something similar to, “If you’re going to read that book, good luck.”
So what this story is about, is that the entire human race is trapped/protected inside of these walls. “Protected from what?” you might ask. Titans… Protected from titans. Man-eating giants that have no care for what you say or do. There was one moment, in the first chapter that made me cry, like a little girl… A little girl!
Have a taste. Here, a cup full of my tears.

The people who died in the first 30 pages of the book was so tragic. All you can see was them with their fearful faces, crying, desperate, trying to cling onto life, but with their efforts wasted as their body was crushed so easily by the teeth of their natural enemies. It’s just saddening no matter how you look at it… Well there is one point of view that makes you kind of funny, but memes could do anything.
You know Nadrian, I was actually thinking about watching the show. But when I read "you’re probably going to be the person sitting in the corner, yelling in desperation, “Stop! Stop!” while other people murder and torture people that you love. Don’t put yourself in that situation." I was thinking, "Ehhh, maybe not..." Then I hear about the death of all these good people, it just sounds like another Harry Potter or Book Thief experience. I try not to put myself in those situations. From what I know about Attack on Titan, that meme is pretty accurate.
