Attack on Titan is a gritty, post-apocalyptic anime that explores the combat between the few remaining humans and vicious, giant beasts called Titans, which roam outside of the walls of a well-defended city. But this episode isn't about the gore and violence of that battle. In this one, we'll cover season 1, episode 14 of Attack on Titan, where a young man who can transform into a Titan is court-marshaled and put on trial.
In this episode, we talk about the various ways that Attack on Titan approaches politics, power dynamics, and religious zeal.
Content warning for Attack on Titan in general: This show is very violent and bloody. The episode discussed in today's podcast (S1,E14) is neither of those, though one character is hit repeatedly while imprisoned.
Spoilers throughout for Attack on Titan as a series beyond the episode in question; nothing character based, but a few world things here and there.
Hope you enjoy the episode!
