The main plot is divided into major events or battles taking place across just under ten years, with everything relating to the past or future being shrouded in mystery. Viewers of the anime tuned in just before the "Fall of Shiganshina," where a Collossal Titan (a giant humanoid over 200 feet tall), breaks into Wall Maria, allowing much smaller titans (roughly forty feet high) to enter with apparently one goal: the consumption and eradication of humans.
From the onset, we as spectators have plenty of questions. In fact, one of the greatest mysteries has to do with the title of the first anime episode: "To You, in 2000 Years." Nobody really knows why the year 2842 might be significant and nothing about the series seems to give it away. Notice how we said the year was 842, but what Calendar are we really going by?
