gg - Episode 15
-----------------------------------------
Erwin looked like he killed the titans to see if Eren would favour the titan's side over the humans... though the preview eerily also suggested that perhaps he could be a fellow titan himself and was seeking the opposite stance.
Hanji.. she's like a mature Sasha with a fixation on titans instead of food. Maybe if Sasha fancies the idea of eating titans.. but I can't imagine her "loving" titans if she's going to eat them.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
i hate hanji, way too overdone.
what was the drama about the question at the end`? "What do you think the titans are?"
I thought he asked who Eren thought the enemy was - and to which I answered with my first paragraph.Originally Posted by MFauli

Titans are almost totally like humanflesh eating machines.
The question could refer to who controls those machines, and also point to the enemies from the inside (wallist, MPs, merchants etc...)
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Seems like the simple answer is just that someone's hatred of Titans overcame their desire for knowledge about them.
Sure, but that also is part of the enemies from inside.
After all, it was a trained soldier who did this, against a very important research protocol to find Titans weaknesses... or at least better understand them to fight them better.
Even if it's the action of an individual who lost control of their hatred, this is treason.
Seems like I was right for the sun... it's their source of energy, explaining why they attack daytime from the south.
It is then likely that they can't swim, since water would lower their temperature too much.
My guess is also they do not attack on winters. It's still a problem for farming, but at least reclaiming one of the walls could be easier. If that community can survive that long that is.

So is the animation in this show. And the art, for that matter.
Maybe, but they're not on the same level of terrible.
How does it explain the South part? Or does the sun rise in the South on this world and I missed it?
i just really hope that it doesnt all come down to a single guy that hates mankind so much that he keeps sending titans, himself being one of them (the big one maybe). that´d be so dumb and boring if it was just some lunatic´s revenge.
If it's indeed some sect of humans behind the titans, it's hard to come up with another explanation, unless this human population is simply so ignorant they don't know millions of people are living happily elsewhere (and are using the titans to remove all possible competition). After all, only a lunatic would annihilate all humans and then himself to seal the deal when it's all over. A twisted evil overlord would still spare his own people, to have someone to rule over.
I'm inclined to believe the story about the Titans being made to "police" humans and keep them united. At least, that would be the the original intentions of the titan creations. As for the current ones.. they could do whatever I suppose. If they really did hate humanity though, I'm sure they could have wiped out the humans by now. There are other ways to sabotage civilisation other than creating a giant predator. Economics or depression could work wonderfully. I would even instigate some sort of revolt by the masses, THEN introduce the titans afterwards against helpless civilians if I really wanted to wipe every one of them off.

Might as well be like in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. With all of the buried villages. As far as they know there is nothing else ( as in other villages). There might as well be other settlements of humans just too far apart to reach safely with all the Titan's roaming around.
Well, at the beggining they did leave little room for the idea that there are human beings living elsewhere on Earth.
But during the hard part when humanity collapsed under Titans attacks, it's hard to think the ones behind the walls would have enough ressources and time to scout a continent to check wether there are other such places or not.
They do not even have long distance and/or wireless communication systems. So even if there was another place with survivors, they would not know.
Writing this, I'm wondering how the walls came to be. You can't build them while under attack from the Titans.
And it's not like you need 40m+ high walls around your country, if not for that story.

i criticized that in the beginning, but apparently it´s accepted here that humans built those walls fine by themselves.
It could just be that the titans advanced slowly.
So after realizing they couldn't stop them, they moved someplace super far away and spent years or even decades building the walls for when the titans inevitably caught up.
I thought that nobody knew for certain where the walls came from; especially if there is a religion formed around the idea of their presence.
Good titans built the walls to protect humanity from bad titans. If you're going to introduce titans into the wild to keep humanity united, it necessitates that the humans survive the ordeal.
As for wireless comm, I don't remember them having electricity.

He only have flares for long distance communication.
Peace.
new ep is out.
REALLY liked Erwin´s expression at the very end of the episode. In general, I like how all the higher ups are participating in the mission, instead of just sending out weaker soldiers.
Wonder how Mikasa would react to a direct confrontation with Levi, and if that guy would spare her a severe punishment for whatever reaction of her´s.
One problem I see is that every character of the group now is an "important" character, in the way of being one of the main characters. Since part of this show´s appeal have been the unexpected deaths of so-thought important characters, I hope that we haven´t reached a "safe zone" now, where everyone lives through, or where only the least significant ones die.
Preview looks nice, finally introducing some more mystery. Though, admittedly, there´s a lot that "more mystery" could ruin. For me, at least.
