Look out King Kong and Godzilla, the Titans are coming to the U.S. too…

One of the best Manga out there, Attack on Titan, is getting an adaptation here in the States, thanks to Warner Bros.

The animated series, now streaming on Netflix, is gearing up for its second season. In the time between, a two-part live-action feature was released in Japan, along with an accompanying television series. Warner Bros. is allegedly acquiring remake rights to the feature film, which was beyond terrible. Still, the mythology created by the animated series is absolutely phenomenal, and socially charged, which is perfect for our climate.

The news gets even bigger as the project is for its Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them producer David Heyman!

The story follows humans living behind a wall through generations to keep themselves safe from the alien Titans. However, curious as to what is beyond the wall, they form a scouting mission. It is not long before they find themselves battling the Titans again as they try to save humanity once again.

Here’s a breakdown on the series, via IMDB:

2000 years from now, humans are nearly exterminated by titans. Titans are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of titans. Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a titan in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a colossal titan that appears out of thin air. As the smaller titans flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Eren vows that he will murder every single titan and take revenge for all of mankind.
