Attack on Titan

Monstrous humanoid creatures known as Titans nearly wiped out mankind centuries ago, pushing the remaining humans to live in fear behind towering concentric walls.

This peace is disrupted when an enormous Titan breaches the once-impregnable outer wall, sparking a renewed fight for survival against the man-eating beasts. Following a personal tragedy at the hands of the Titans, Eren Yeager joins the Survey Corps, a specialized military unit that battles the merciless humanoids outside the protective walls.

The players are now forced to fight for survival.

 Haikyu

When Shouyou Hinata witnessed the volleyball skills of the "Little Giant" for the first time, he was fascinated by the fluidity of the game and the player's unmatched talents.

Hinata enrolled at Karasuno High School, where the "Little Giant" once attended, with the hope of pursuing a career in professional volleyball.
