Attack on Titan: Junior High
Attack on Titan: Junior High

Firstly - how did I not know this existed?

Secondly - how on earth does this exist?

Thirdly - this exists. If you are any sort of fan of Attack on Titan, you should definitely go and watch it.

"So what the hell is this?" I hear you cry. The hell this is a comedy spin off of main universe Attack on Titan, set in a world in which our defenders of humanity go to a mixed high school. Mixed in this case does not mean boy and girl, but human and titan. The school has two halves, one significantly bigger than the other (ignore the maths), and one normal sized, for the education of humans and titans alike.

Once again, the titans are the sworn enemies of humanity. They are introduced in the first episode as in mainstream AoT, with the colossal titan peering over the dividing wall. The plot is sprung into action when the titan commits its first evil act.

Stealing Eren's lunch.

Yes, these titans are bullies, who use their superior size and strength to harass the poor normal sized humans, and pick on them. Eren has promised to rid the earth of all titans, because of his hideous encounters with them in the past. This event has twisted his psyche into that of a brutal killer, who will stop at nothing to take revenge for what they did to him long ago.

Steal his lunch.

Everyone in this is a caricature of themselves from the main universe (which is implied to exist in this universe as a TV show. Or possibly Eren's dream.) Sasha is even more obsessed with food, Mikasa defends Eren from everything, and Ymir has her own "Gotta marry her" moment with Historia, within the first twelve seconds of screen time. Levi is still the most effective warrior in the show, but his focus is now on more mundane activities such as tidying up. He takes correct recycling very seriously indeed.

Not watched all of this series yet, but I don't see myself having any difficulty doing so. It is amazing. You do rather need to have seen Attack on Titan first, but if you have, you need to watch this.

Highly recommended.
