Welll.... i haven't watched the entire anime, planning to though, so i won't be able to give you an in depth analysis of the anime.
The artwork in the manga isn't that great... the anime is leagues ahead. Also, the manga takes a month for every update >.>
Anyway, storyline wise i'd say end of the world storyline, where humans or rather 'the last of humanity' was forced into a fort? (it's circular with 3 walls) from where they defend themselves from the titans who are these giant nude beings with no sexual organs. So no one knows how they end up multiplying instead of dying out and disappearing.
Humanity organised itself via a monarchy and there are different divisions in their army (as in real life... kind of borrows and molds things a bit differently which is quite interesting) and our protagonists come from the 'exploration' squad (as i like to call it) which explores the regions around the walls and tries to find out something about the titans - who they are, where they came from and so on. This is so that they can defeat the titans and reclaim the land.
When Eren discovers his latent titan powers, Levi forms a special squad to take care of him called the Special Ops squad. Eren then uses his powers to prove that he can control his titan self and hence not be erased as he would be of great use and not a threat,
As the story proceeds forward, we find out that the titans originate from humans. No one knows how or why, but what they do know is that the area that they cut off at the nape of the neck, is the seat where the person who controls the titans rest. So more questions pour forth - was it a virus? Was it a mutation? What caused certain humans to turn into titans?
The only hint they have so far is Eren's house's basement. Eren only has vague memories of what went on in the basement, but with the key to the basement given by his father as the only clue to find how how humanity ended up this way, they aim for it, but sadly the area where they lived in had been breached by the titans right in the beginning, meaning they weren't sure how they'd get there and stay long enough to find out what they needed.
As if that wasn't enough, every time they seem to get closer to the answers, the more they seem to get diverted from the answers - from the titans attacking, to titans attacking in the night, overthrowing the false monarchy to place 'Historia' the true heir in place, these guys have been way too busy handling each mess that was created to find out what was in the basement. I wonder if they forgot all about it myself though xD
Anyway, worthwhile read if you don't mind blood, gore and action - good amount of comedy, great story line and in addition well picked music for the anime.
Tell me what you think if you've watched it though :)
