The late Kentaro Miura’s magnum opus. This dark fantasy epic follows Guts, a lone mercenary, through a brutal world. It is famous for its hauntingly detailed artwork and deep exploration of human resilience. 3. Slice of Life and Romance

Read the manga. The anime is infamous for slow pacing. The "One Pace" fan edit or the manga are the best ways to experience the story. If you want anime, watch until the "Time Skip" (Episode 516), then consider switching to manga.

The twists. The reveal of what lies in the basement and the truth of the "Rumbling" are legendary moments in modern fiction. Eren Yeager’s transformation from suicidal brat to morally grey anti-hero is one of the best character arcs ever written.
