Progressive metal band Linked Horizon seriously beat viewers over the head with their deliriously heavy opening theme. A perfect fit for a high intensity show centred on giants bigger than skyscrapers with a fondness for munching human flesh. The vibe provided is one of fearsome, survivalist action accompanying the courageous (often doomed) members of the Scout Regimen. We follow these warriors speeding over various rooftops in a nightmarish battle to topple their colossal foes.

Set in a world where humans live in communities walled off from these monstrous man-eating giants (a.k.a Titans), the series follows several characters wronged by a Titan who destroys their community. Furious and vowing revenge, they join the Scout Regimen in a desperate quest to regain control of the world from the monstrous predators running amok.

One of the most action-packed intros in anime history, the grand scale epic Attack on Titan has quickly grown into a beloved modern classic of the medium since its 2014 debut. Linked Horizon’s theme proved a smash hit with audiences, promoting numerous fan covers of what one might call varying quality. Now one of the most recognisable titles in manga and anime, Attack on Titan manages to get everything right with its thrillingly visceral intro.
