Attack on Titan (2013–2023)

The series primarily critiques the devastating consequences of systemic oppression, war, and the cycle of hatred, ultimately rejecting genocidal solutions in favor of a difficult pursuit of understanding and coexistence, despite acknowledging the complexities of self-preservation and human nature.

Attack on Titan features a cast that, while diverse in its fictional world, does not engage in explicit DEI-driven casting or race/gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative, however, deeply explores themes of discrimination and prejudice through allegorical storytelling, presenting a strong, albeit indirect, engagement with DEI concepts without explicitly critiquing traditional real-world identities.
