The creator seems really fond of building up moments of hope and optimism... for the sole purpose of crushing it moments later. (NSFW gifs) A few questions. Is there any evidence to support Eren got his powers from his father's injection? Based on the anime, the only reason that's believed is because Eren thinks so. And since Eren is always wrong, that can't be it. It would be too easy. Although Eren is always wrong, it appears Armin is always correct, up to episode 21 in the anime at least. Has Armin ever been wrong? There's no direct evidence that the injection is what gave Eren his powers. But if it's not the case, it would be a huge red herring. I forget since I haven't re-read the manga in a while but I believe that his father was directly involved with the wall cult or something like that so he is connected with the titans somehow. | ||

Although I suppose I can just post it here in the thread anyways. | ||

Feels like shitty writing to me like the author doesn't want to kill the character nor have her reveal information to advance the plot so he just puts Annie inside an indestructible crystal until he wants to bring her back. | ||

The anime reached this point where i´m just thinking another attemp of japanese story writers to deliver a epic story. I´m not so into the "bad ending" they like to do with their storys. I´m simply minded and i think that works for most folks. 22 episodes where i can say max 5 are good the rest is trash. It´s sad because i raised my hope up for this one. Problem with these stories for me is always the protagonist. Japanese writers lean towards these shitty emotional/useless protagonists who make stupid decision after stupid decision. We need more Spike Spiegels, Alucards and Guts out there. Hell even Lelouch is a rarity. | ||

I have a theory and I don't care if I get spoilered Yeah, it's pretty easy to guess and you probably got the theory right. Basically after Eren's mum got killed by the Titan they took her remains and made her into the female Titan. Pretty shoddy writing if you ask me but you'll get the reasoning behind it in the later episodes because they do manage to explain it in a rational way. I guess the main thing you have to keep asking yourself is - why do the Titans eat the humans when they don't need to? And there you'll have your answer. | ||

Don't you remember the opening chapters? Where they rode in the town, said they lost completely and there was no hope, and that everyone thought the exploration team was pointless? They had the technology, they just didn't know the weakness of the titans. Still, that town layout is rather stupid especially considering that the whole point of those border towns is to be a bait for titans. Why don't they make them easy for humans and hard for titans to navigate? Not even talking about 3d gear. Just build a lot of escape ways towards the inner wall that are ~1m high. Humans can get through, titans can't. Have basements with small entrances as bunkers. Escape tunnels in a size that lets humans pass, but not titans. Alleyways which are ~60-80 cm broad in between houses. Of course you can't have every road like that, or it is practically impossible to do anything in that city. But you can have some. And of course titans will break that shit down over time, but that is exactly that. Time. You give your population more time to escape to safety by making them able to take escape ways through which titans can't follow without making a huge hole. | ||

Several chapters ago, the guys said to him if he goes quietly with them they won't send anymore attacks to the city, yet he chooses to stay - selfish prick who doesn't have any consideration for other peoples' lives. Furthermore, he would gain a lot more information if he was less of a pussy and went to that town they wanted to take him to. He could rise up in the ranks there and eventually overthrow it even if it was a shit place. This would go completely against his characterization. If you haven't noticed already, Eren is not rational at all. Plus, his two friends and role models just told him that they're responsible for the death of his mother (and by extension the disappearance of his father) and that they're aligned with the monsters that he's vowed to fight and slaughter to the death. You're viewing this as a reader in the third person. Obviously if he went with them the plot would advance a lot faster, but to seriously expect him to just blindly take their word right after they admit they've been infiltrating traitors this entire time is just silly. I'm pretty pleased that Eren gave them a hard time before they were finally able to drag his ass out of the city, kicking and screaming that he'll kill them both. and keeps letting his hot ass sister save his ass all the time when she could be happily married and having hot, steamy sex daily with a real man if not for him needing her to baby him all the time. lol. that's just not who misaka is as a person. she's not a piece of meat you know??? -_- | ||

I thought no one had seen a single Titan in about 100 years, at the start of Shingeki. And if that was the case, I'm pretty sure some priests or governments would have covered the fact it happened. Something like "Well we haven't seen a titan in 50 years but just in case, we'll build some paths to trap them, however don't worry, it will never happens." is out of the question for me. People wanted to forget about the mankind genocide, and being able to build a normal looking town is one way to do it - especially when the only way at that time to prevent Titans from attacking was the wall. No 3D gear, at least. | ||
