Please don't feel insulted because I classify myself as an anime nerd as well. If you have not read the manga or seen the anime yet, you are truly missing out. The best way to describe this is by comparing it to another great show/ book series that is more well known. Attack on Titan would have to be the animated version of Game of Thrones, in the sense that the Titans are to White walkers as the main character Eren Yeager is to Arya Stark. Both characters have an inner passion to defeat an evil or fix a wrong that is too much for both of them to handle, they both must complete some sort of training before they dive in head first into a fight with something that is bigger than both of.
These titans are large man eating giants that don't need to eat to survive and yet they crave human flesh, not much is known about the titans, except for their one weakness on the back of their necks. This anime is so well written each episode has you guessing what is going to happen next. It's almost addictive and I sugest that you watch this anime.
