“Attack on Titan: The Musical” retains the core elements that have made the original series a global phenomenon. The story, set in a post-apocalyptic world, follows humanity's desperate fight against giant humanoid Titans. For over a century, the remnants of mankind have hidden behind towering walls, believing themselves safe. However, the sudden appearance of a colossal Titan shatters this illusion and sets the stage for an epic battle for survival.
For those unfamiliar with “Attack on Titan,” the series is both a completed manga and anime. The manga, published by Kodansha, and the anime, available for streaming on Crunchyroll, follow the intense and often tragic journey of Eren Yeager and his friends as they join the military to fight the Titans and uncover the mysteries behind their existence.
