What does the “Attack on Titan Opening Credits Parodies” meme mean?

Where does the “Attack on Titan Opening Credits Parodies” meme come from?

This phenomenon emerged immediately after the broadcast of the anime Attack on Titan, whose first episode aired on April 6, 2013. The opening theme "Guren no Yumiya," performed by Linked Horizon, quickly went viral. The earliest known edit appeared on the Japanese platform Nico Nico Douga on April 8, 2013, created by the user (´ω`)ハヤル. It paired the soundtrack with clips from various anime like Anpanman or Gintama. The exact source of the original images remains unknown. Soon, other creators imitated this format: on April 11, neoroon used Bollywood film clips; on April 15, Mitsufii no hito employed a commercial for Snuggle fabric softener. On April 17, the same author published a live-action parody. The Japanese MAD community massively adopted this template to dramatize any visual sequence.
