* AdaptationalPowerChange: [[spoiler: Zeke Jeagers counterpart is the closest thing to a Titan Shifter in this series. However he cannot turn into the Beast Titan at will, he must inject himself with Titan serum. He also lacks the ability to create other Titans with his scream or control them, however he is immortal and hasn't aged since he first injected himself for the first time years ago (retaining the Titans ability to heal/regenerate even as a human).]]

* BlandNameProduct: A [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows Mindows]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_98 99]] computer, a [[UsefulNotes/WiiU Wee U]], a purple Franchise/DragonBall, a [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation PS7]], and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} a yellow rat]] plushie can be seen among the prizes that Annie and Mikasa win for Eren in a shooting game.

** All of the main characters are in the same class instead of having different classes (Annie, Krista, Reiner, Bertolt, and Ymir are in a different class in the manga), several characters like Hitch and Marlowe are not introduced until later episodes (which is more inline with the original series but makes the details differ), Keith Shadis becomes their homeroom teacher rather than a generic one, and Hannes featured prominently as a janitor (Keith is first shown counseling Eren with Grisha about the legend of a Titan-fighting hero and both characters are seldom making appearances in the manga). Also, secondary characters retain their original look instead of the generic look in the manga (Armin's grandpa is a good example, since the animators uses his original anime appearance than the spin off's Japanese stereotype look).

** The first episode discarded the gag about Eren being mistaken for stealing a Titan's PE bloomer (among other things like Mikasa's "Survey" in the manga's first and second chapters) to a combination of the gang went to the Titan Building section of the school (being a WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque First Day At School gag rather than a class observation in the manga) and a CrashIntoHello parody to [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduce]] the main characters. The students' greeting scene is also expanded to include Sasha's memetic potato incident.
** Armin's introduction in the second episode is changed from Eren & Co. visited him to make the quota for the dodgeball tournament, later intending to buy a new futon for him for his birthday gift in the manga to Levi stealing his old one in order to fix it with only Eren & Mikasa visiting, compressed along with the school club gag (the episode changed the detail of the gang's lunch box being eaten by Titans in their class observation to Titan-caused problems that prevented them from joining regular clubs) and Levi and the Survey Club's introduction ([[EstablishingCharacterMoment his introduction]] scene is a frame-by-frame parody of the original anime scene instead of the clubroom introduction in the manga since Levi is a BreakoutCharacter).

** On the other hand, the final parts of episode 11 and 12 are [[GeckoEnding anime original]] to make the series as more of a stand-alone in case the sequel doesn't get approved.

* LoveLetterLunacy: Jean gets a love letter in his shoe locker, but isn't sure which girl sent it since it didn't have a name on it. [[spoiler:It turns out to be written by Annie, who was doing it for a female Titan that attends the same cram school as her. Jean understandably rejects her, and gets smashed into the ground by said Titan.]]

** The Folk Dance build-up of the school sports festival in episode 7 is omitted altogether, making it focusing more on the SenpaiKohai gag.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

The manga was serialized in ''Bessatsu Shonen Magazine'' from 2012 to 2016 and compiled into 11 volumes. It later returned with the short sequel ''Attack on Titan: High School – Youth! The Marley Academy Next Door'', which adapts the original series' Marley arc and ran from June to August 2018.

* {{Chickification}}: Annie and Krista as cheerleaders? Krista is already TheChick in the main series so she's aversion but Annie plays this straight.

** Krista's TheChick portrayal early in the main series is exaggerated to the point she's an enthusiastic cheerleader, worried about her weight, and welcoming of the advances by both Ymir and Reiner.

** The Folk Dance build-up of the school sports festival in episode 7 is omitted altogether, making it focusing more on the SempaiKohai gag.

''Attack on Titan: Junior High'' (進撃！巨人中学校, ''Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou'', "Attack! Titan Middle School") is a SpinOffBabies AffectionateParody of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''. The manga is by Saki Nakagawa and supervised by Hajime Isayama, debuting in 2012. Taking place in an [[HighSchoolAU Junior High School A.U.]], this series follows the everyday life of Eren and Mikasa and their wacky junior high adventures. A TwelveEpisodeAnime adaptation by Creator/ProductionIG[[labelnote:*]]with assistance from Creator/{{Graphinica}} and Creator/AsahiProduction (returning from the mainline series)[[/labelnote]] started airing in [[{{Fall 2015 Anime}} October 2015]], like the main anime, it was licensed and simulcasted by Creator/{{Funimation}} with the latter receiving a broadcast dub in November.

%%* PaperFanOfDoom: Levi's WeaponOfChoice.

* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Frieda Reiss]] is implied to be spooking people [[TheGadfly for her own amusement]], which is noticeably different from her [[NiceGal kind, selfless]] depiction in the original. However, this is downplayed, as being a prankster, while mischievous, is not exactly villainy, and she changes her mind about scaring Krista and instead comforts her when noticing that Krista's already crying.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: [[spoiler:The Moe Titan to Jean.]]

* AirplaneArms: Mikasa runs like this all the time.

* BigManOnCampus: Jean keeps trying, and fails horribly every time.

* CreditsRunningSequence: Eren and Mikasa in the ending.

* HotTeacher: In the manga, [[spoiler: this is how Frieda Reiss' role is established.]]

* PaperFanOfDoom: Levi's WeaponOfChoice.

* CryCute: Krista evokes this in Episode 8.

* {{Flanderization}}: '''EVERYONE'S''' personalities are ramped UpToEleven in this. This series aired after Season 1 of the main series concluded and while Season 2 was in production, so this series mainly parodies the characters' personalities from Season 1 of the main anime.

** Between Mikasa, Eren, and Annie that this even included in the poster above. Both girls display traits of ClingyJealousGirl, though Mikasa takes this UpToEleven. Add Bertolt's crush on Annie and Jean's crush on Mikasa to the equation and we have a one sided LoveDodecahedron.

* {{Chickification}}: Annie and Krista as [[TheCheerleader cheerleaders]]? Krista is already TheChick in the main series so she's aversion but Annie plays this straight.

After four years, Nakagawa concludes the manga with the final chapter being released in 2016 August Issue of ''Bessatsu Shonen Magazine'', but it later returned with the ''Seishun'' sequel, which adapts the original's Marley arc.

** What was once a horrific post-apocalyptic tale of death and destruction is now a SliceOfLife comedy that takes place in Junior High. There are scenes resembling people getting eaten by Titans, but then they get spit out, and their lunch is taken instead. Even the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwmqlb8KY18 opening song]] for the anime gets in on this, being a much more upbeat and cheerful rendition of "''Guren No Yumiya''". The song even focuses the WestminsterChimes into the melody.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: The best way to summarize the manga's human faculty members and staff (which makes it funnier when you compare them to their original series self). Erwin is a dorky, Frieda being a ManicPixieDreamGirl, Nile Dok is the faculty's ButtMonkey, Hannes LikesOlderWomen, Dot Pixis is TheAlcoholic NightmareFetishist, and Darius Zackly is very much a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} with a literal RealMenWearPink. Keith Shadis may be a DrillSergeantNasty, but he has CerebusSyndrome as Erwin gains more admiration from the students. Perhaps the only [[OnlySaneMan staff being considered "normal"]] is Class 1-4 homeroom teacher, but that's because he is considered a generic, CanonImmigrant character compared to the rest of the faculty members.
