🌸Things of AOT that are new to me 🌸
Mikasa confessed that when they were children, there was an incident where she mistakenly threw Eren and Armin into a river, where they both ended up with colds.
From Levi's perspective, the best at cleaning is Eren.
Titans can cry (although this depends on their size) it could be due to some emotion or because of some discomfort in their eyes.
Annie likes sweatshirts because she can use the hood to cover her head completely so she can be alone outside whenever she wants.
Out of Troop 104, Mikasa is the most skilled at peeling potatoes.
Erwin was not married nor did he want to be, he did not know how long he would live and was aware that he could die at any moment. Isayama claimed, he was in love with a woman Marie to whom he gave up the call to follow his father's dream. Marie ended up marrying Nile Dok (his former training partner and current commander of the Military Police) and had three children with.
At first, Isayama had drawn Pieck as a middle-aged man, but as he continued to work on the character, he suddenly thought that she would be a woman.

🌸 Things of AOT that left me thinking 🌸
Shingeki no Kyojin was planned to be much shorter, with the ending being dramatic to the point of killing off most of the characters. Resembling a movie called "The Mist", however, due to the success generated they changed their minds.
Although Ymir has appeared since chapter 5 of the manga, her name is first mentioned in chapter 36.
Mikasa Ackerman is the only one of the top five recruits in her unit not to be a Titan shifter.
It is not known if Eren is right-handed or left-handed, as he has been seen using both his left and right hands a lot.
Apparently Ymir, she is able to speak while she is in her titan form.
According to Mike Zakarius, Erwin Smith has no smell at all.
The salaries of the Reconnaissance Legion are the lowest among the military bodies.
After Armin saved Jean, Jean thanked him appropriately. According to Isayama, Jean always saw Armin as a friend he can count on.
The most popular recruits in Troop 104 were Christa and Reiner.
In a Simpsons Halloween special, he makes a small reference to the series, when Lisa appears dressed as Mikasa.
When soldiers die on expeditions, those of higher rank who survived visit relatives one by one to deliver a letter informing them of their loss.
Reiner's voluminous body is not due to constant training or anything like that, but is inherited from his parents, in fact, Isayama compared Reiner to the Hulk, he says that both are similar in that they naturally become more strong with their ability to transform.
Armin Arlert was originally going to be a woman, but the creator seriously questioned if the protagonist should have two childhood friends, and wanted to add a man, but the design was not changed, so Armin physically and from appearance looks like a woman.
The author claimed that the only time Levi smiles is when he sees a new cleaning product.

🌸Things of AOT that l didn't know🌸
Carla Jaeger, during the scene where she gets trapped in her house, lies about having her legs broken. She did everything she did to protect and save Eren and Mikasa.
The inspiration to create the titans; it came because Isayama was working while he was having a bad experience at an internet cafe; he had to put up with a drunk customer and even though they were both of the same species and spoke the same language, there was no way to understand each other.
Most of the titans faces are based on family photos and magazines; she made them motionless and expressionless to give them a more terrifying air. That from my modified perspective.
Erwin was the first commander of the reconnaissance legion to assume command without a Titan killing his predecessor.
In the English nomenclature “Annie”, it is the diminutive of “Ana”, a name of Hebrew origin that means “compassion” and her surname “Leonhart” is derived from the Spanish word “León” and the Dutch word “hart” this is a nickname that is usually given to someone who is a great warrior.
Hanji in the first OVA says that we all have dark secrets, he says this to confess that Levi, when he was little, went into the girls' bathroom.
Many fans have seen many similarities between Annie and a character from “The Final Fantasy” (I couldn't find the name), but this character shares the same last name as her, while the description of the two is quite similar.
Levi does not get drunk easily, in fact, it has been confirmed that his tolerance to alcohol is good, while Eren, at 19, has become a heavy drinker.
Erwin was always single because he wasn't sure when he would die.
Levi hasn't had a love relationship either, because according to him, he's clumsy for that kind of thing.
Jean's name is the French variant of John, meaning "blessed by God."
When designing Reiner, Isayama took David Beckham's eyes and reflections.
According to Hange, Levi is good at everything except cooking.
In the delivery of Shingeki no Kyojin: Before the fall, the soldiers of the Reconnaissance Corps were unaware of the weak points of the titans, so their survival was lower.

🌸 Things of AOT impressed me 🌸 1. All the birthdays of the main characters are connected to different dates of cultural importance, like, for example, Levi's birthday, which is December 25, Christmas day. But in Marco's case, he hides a dark secret, his birthday is June 16, which happens to be exactly the middle of the year, which hints at the character's own death. 2. In addition to a theme park, they also brought out other products, such as perfumes of each character, Levi, has a fresh scent that reminds of soap, Armin's has a pure vanilla scent and Hange's smells like a mysterious and bitter herb. 3. The story of the titans has its roots in Norse mythology, in the Viking tradition there were several separate kingdoms as well as the walls, as history progresses the gods built a wall against the giants and when Ragnarok happens, the giants break down the wall and kill the gods, which is what happens at the beginning of the anime. 4. Levi's name is of Hebrew origin and means "union" and the surname derives from the German name "Ackermann" which means country man. 5. Mikasa's red scarf may be a reference to the red thread of fate, which in Japanese folklore represents an unbreakable connection between soulmates or lovers. 6. Speaking of the scarf, in the manga it was initially black. 7. Levi seems to have a fondness for black tea and it has been confirmed that Levi would have liked to open his own tea shop. 8. Levi sleeps an average of 2 to 3 hours a day and usually does so in a chair, even the author states that if he had to say something to Levi it ​​would be: "Go to sleep now!" 9. Speaking of sleep, Annie, she has a habit of talking in her sleep, sometimes muttering the sound “wush”, specifically when she dreams of practicing kicking trees. 9. Both Levi and Hange, if they had to be of a real nationality, they would be French. 10. Gabi's physique comes from a sketch Isayama made of a female version of Eren. 11. In a question and answer session, he was asked about Levi's preferred type of woman, to which he replied that probably since he is short, he likes tall people. 12. All the titans that form the walls measure exactly 50 meters. 13. To design Annie's updo, Isayama was influenced by a photo of Avril Lavigne.

🌸 Things of AOT you can't ignore 🌸
AOT took 7 years after the manga came out, to broadcast the first season.
Isayama stated a long time ago that his favorite character is Jean, due to his ability to speak his mind, and even if it's something you normally wouldn't be able to say, but later rectified that he has another favorite character currently which is Reiner Braun.
Marvel and AOT officially had a comic together, but as a crossover. They collaborated to create: Attack On Avengers in 2014. This crossover was an 8-page comic, which showed the titans attacking Manhattan (New York), while the avengers rush to the rescue to face the titans and stop the invasion. At the end of the comic, the Guardians Of The Galaxy also come out asking for the Colossal Titan to crush the city (crazy, isn't it?)
Sasha's character was going to die in the first season and not the last, she was supposed to die at the end of Volume 9, however, Isayama's editor cried after reading the storyboard, which convinced him to rewrite the chapter and save Sasha's life. (I am grateful for this)
In an interview with the writer, it was revealed that Levi is over 30 years old, despite not looking it.
There is an interesting reference where Isayama praised Armin Arlert's full name, he states that the name sounds like the word “aluminum” and that it is easier for him to remember his full name.
Speaking of Armin, his name is a German name with many meanings like: Total, universal, warrior and soldier
The writer stated in an interview that due to the fact that he and Eren are polar opposites he had a hard time writing the character until he rectified his role several times in the first four volumes.
Eren's last name is a German one that means "hunter."
It was originally thought that Eren would know from the beginning that he was a titan, but this idea was discarded.
Although it was revealed in the anime that Armin's parents died on a Retrieval of Wall Maria mission, the truth is that they were executed after attempting to leave the wall by flying in a balloon.
There was a titans theme park once upon a time, though it doesn't exist now, but Universal Studios Japan brought the post-apocalyptic world of Attack On Titan to life as part of a special theme park exhibit.
Isayama has confessed that Mikasa is one of the most difficult characters for him to draw, but the ones he enjoys drawing the most are Ymir and Jean.
The anime was banned in China, due to its violent theme.
The characters have a role similar to how the chess pieces move, if you have ever played chess, you will know that the most important figure is The King and that you have to protect it at all costs, since it is the only one that does not can fall, because Eren is like the king, the most important that must be protected by his teammates no matter what (part of this is shown in the scene where Eren carries the rock to close the hole in Wall Rose), Levi would symbolize The Queen who can inflict heavy damage to the opponent on her own, those of the Garrison Troops would be the towers representing the walls. (when I was reading this one, I got quite surprised)
According to various surveys, the Smiling Titan is the scariest Titan of all.
AOT has been the best-selling manga, selling around 66 million copies.
The only manga that rivals Attack On Titan in sales is One Piece.
Armin's voice is voiced by Marina Inoue, who is also the anime's narrator voice.
Isayama confessed that he would like to end the story with Armin being the only survivor of the original cast, if this happens, Attack On Titan would become a story told or written by Armin.

🌸​ Things of AOT you should know about by now 🌸​
In an interview, Hajime Isayama stated that Hange Zoe does not have an official gender but leaves it to the reader's imagination.
According to a Japanese survey, more than half of the fans forgot that Armin also had a tragic past and that he is an orphan.
Levi was accidentally created when Isayama was scribbling ideas.
Reiner Braun's name is of Old Norse origin and means "the conciliatory warrior."
Historia Reiss is the only one of his family to be recognized by the people as the true royalty of the walls.
Aspects of Levi's design and his personality are based on Rorschach from Watchmen.
Isayama revealed that of all the veterans of the Recon Corps, Moblit is the one who consumes the most alcohol due to his "unfortunate" position (Hage's right hand).
In the anime, Eren's titanic form possesses a third eyelid common to predatory species. This can be seen when Eren blinks several times in episode 8. It is unknown if the titan possesses this feature in the manga.
The city layout in Shingeki no Kyojin is based on Nördlingen, Germany.
It is said that Isayama named Mikasa after an ocean-going ironclad ship of the Imperial Japanese Naval Force because of his belief that a series with female characters named after famous warships would be successful.
Levi has the title of “leader of the soldiers” (heishichō: usually translated as “Captain”) in the Recon Corps. However, his friends and subordinates often call him by a shorter title “lance corpo” (heichō). This has led to the belief that he is actually a lower-ranking soldier than he actually possesses.
The armored titan is based on Brock Lesnar, an American professional wrestler and former mixed martial arts fighter.
Annie uses Motai, the most brutal fighting style in the world.
Armin's birthday, November 3, is celebrated in Japan as Culture Day, a holiday that promotes study, culture, and fine arts.
The scene where Eren carries the rock to close the hole in Wall Rose is reminiscent of the Greek titan Atlas, who carries the celestial sphere on his shoulders.
Ymir spent 60 years as an original titan and did not age a day until she regained her human form. This suggests that she is physically and mentally 17 years old, but her chronological age is between 70-80 years old.
At 6'5" (196 cm), Mike was the tallest human character of all.
Marco's birthday is June 16, ironically it's the middle of the year and when he died only half of his body appeared.
The flare gun, or smoke gun in Shingeki no Kyojin, are like catapults with needles. Sparklers are paint stored in a can under high pressure. When the trigger is pulled, a needle hits the can, causing the pressure to be released and the shot to be sprayed, leaving paint in its path.
Eren's name comes from Turkish culture. Its exact meaning is “one who progresses and attains divine maturity and sacred wisdom”.
