Eren and Mikasa return from gathering wood outside the city walls. They arrive in time to see the return of a scout unit. Eren aspires to become a scout. His father is a doctor, his mother insists that he give up on his idea of joining the scouts.
It has been 100 years since the last time the city was attacked by titans. Eren thinks that people have become complacent. It is then that the titans strike. A huge titan tears a hole in the city's massive walls. Everyone in the city panics. Carla, Eren's mother, is badly injured and trapped inside their home.
One of the city's guardsmen comes to help. He listens to Carla and grabs Eren and Mikasa and runs away from the titan. Eren watches in horror (as he is carried away from the collapsed home) as his mother is picked up and eaten by the titan.
I've finally decided to give this series a try. I'm not fully sold on the series just yet but I'm willing to give it a few more episodes before deciding whether I will stick with it or not. I have not read the manga.
Eren strikes me as very emotional. I thought, at first, that Mikasa was his sister but I don't think that's the case now. I'm not sure what their relationship is.
What happened to Eren's father? He left not long before the titans broke into the city but it is unclear how much time passed and how far he could have traveled in that time.
