If you ever noticed, a lot of names in the series are German. This choice adds a distinct flavor to the show and often resonates well with the dark, gritty atmosphere.
Hajime Isayama, the creator, mentioned being inspired by Germanic architecture and culture. Plus, it gives the story an exotic touch for Japanese audiences.
Honestly, it鈥檚 just aesthetic choices and cultural inspirations. But hey, who doesn't like a bit of German flair mixed with giant Titans?
