If those 250k had been able bodied soldiers with 3DG training, they would've probably been able to retake the outer wall. Starving civilians... not so much.

Given how vol 2 was ~2k pages and vol3 adds up to like 2.4+k, probably 2 cour considering how rushed vol 2 was? They'll probably still try to stuff it into one though.

I feel like such a chart would be useful for people who already have a background in anime, but to the uninitiated it's not that enlightening. Plot blurbs don't quite answer my questions, and these charts are limited to current releases which will perhaps be harder for me to source? Please correct me if I have misunderstood.
How old is your teacher? If I was teaching and recommending animes I'd probably be thinking of stuff like doraemon, Sazae-san and Crayon Shin-chan. Maybe whatever stuff that gets prime time slots. That said, it is probably easier to just try whatever genre you have interest in and get your ears used to the language, especially at your level.

One can always hope for 2-cour then. As an anime only watcher I'm wondering what I've missed, did they cut anything major or was it more like smaller things missing all the time?

Look back to uta's posts in the past about the matter, but it was a bunch of things. Some of them potentially big. Also the small things are really nerve grating because they are all key small things that define the characters =/

Well, that sucks for sure. As I said, one thing I like is the relatively large cast of characters, so having important things regarding them cut is just a shame. I'm taking a look at the infodump at least, doesn't hurt to know a little more.
Digging up posts, eh? Let's see if the search function can help here, because digging through x pages will be rough, haha.

I'm having a hard time understanding the size of Shingeki no Kyojin's city.
When they were on Wall Maria which has the biggest area and you could see the wall from everywhere but now that they are inside Wall Rose there' s landscape with mountains and rivers and no walls...
The setting for the first episode was in a specific "node" along Wall Maria - the actual territory covered by Wall Maria was much larger (you see this when they pan over the landscape).

Shouldnt be to hard to find, it was very useful. Atleast for me with no time to do homework on the source.
I think Uta linked this which is worth a look at too.

Isn't there something similar for the Jinsui OP or ED, or is my memory playing tricks on me?
