Granted, not much, but my point was, that if you have to choose between no hope and getting eaten, or something that gives you at least potentially a safe-haven, people would normally choose the latter option. As long as the titans weren't roaming about in their area and they had time enough to go for the inner city, it makes sense to try that (though normally, you always have some stubborn bastards that refuse to leave). But especially when they were thrown out, that should have been something that cam into their mind: it's the ONLY other possibly safe haven out there. WTF you want them to split their thinning supply lines even more by inhabiting the pocket cities? What the fuck for? You do realize that they have a 30% minimum casualty rate when soldiers enter Titan territory. Are you seriously honest to God suggesting they sen supply squads to their death for shits and giggles to support useless pocket cities with low tactical value? SERIOUSLY? Seriously? No. You didn't read what I wrote at all. What you wrote made no sense. It is inefficient and not a tactically viable move. Which proves that you didn't read my posts of it. It has nothing to do with a tactical move, but everything with staying alive and how people normally react between having a choice where no hope exists and a little hope. People choose the lesser of the bad options, in that case. It's elementary psychology. How is it the lesser of bad options to stay in the middle of titan hunting grounds when you can go behind the wall that was not yet breached. Your logic is impossibly flawed and it's a sign of you just trying to find flaws in this series even if you have to invent them. Well, that's just it: otherwise, they ARE in the middle of the hunting grounds of the titans. What do you think the area between wall Maria and wall rose is, once wall maria was breached? My logic is impeccable, and I only point out things which I find to be highly unlikely if one would transport the conditions in a real life setting. For the rest, I'm highly fond of the series, and I think it's on of the best out there. Doesn't mean it's flawless. The fact you refute even those basic logical conclusions is rather a sign of you just being a fanboy, to which NO criticism whatsoever is allowed of the series, and no possibly contradiction can't be explained away, even if you have to deny common sense. Your logic is bullshit. It would take a day for the titans to move beyond the first pocket city. More than enough time to tell them to start evacuating via runner from the wall. Which was why I said that it would depend on where the titans were at that moment. You have to learn to read. BTW, I hope you mean from one pocket city to another, because 'beyond' the first pocket-city they breached, they were already doing that within hours. And which is why I said that it CERTAINLY made sense when they got thrown out again. I mean; you DO realise they weren't allowed to stay 'behind the wall that wasn't breached', I hope? I'm not going to waste my time with you until you address dankickyou's points. If you do not, then you forfeit this already pointless debate. Correction: I forfeit nothing. By not responding, it's YOU who de facto forfeit the debate. Which is your prerogative, of course, but you seem to make some unwarranted assumptions about your own wish to continue the debate or not. Furthermore, I have addressed point by point your remarks that you made. Only, I find counterarguments like 'they would go insane of fear' rather contentious, since it hardly reflects reality. People, in actuality, almost never really become insane of fear. When in fear, they flee or fight: those are the basic actions done based on fear, and for the rest they seek the option that will give them the most chance on safety. Idem with your argument of people being sheep: that's equally contentious. People are NOT sheep, period. What more can I say about that kind of argumentation? You haven't addressed jack shit. But talking to you is the same as talking to the Walls in this series. Pointless. |

Of course, if the crops fail, they would have it very difficult; but that's true if the harvest fails behind wall Rose too. I doubt the weather is THAT local that it makes a difference where it fails; if it freezes, for instance, it'll freeze everywhere in that area. This Most definitely cannot support this And bear in mind that in a bad year that huge fuck farm can fail to properly feed a village much less a fucking city.

| Wohoooooooo Levi!!!! Loved his screen time,the OST is awesome Eren is back wohooooooo!!! The fights were cool. That Gneral annoyed me gosh I want him dead, wow I was excited the whole time then it ended and I went WHAT?!? |

gettogaara said: Iasuru said: Am I the only one that thinks Levi will turn out to be a titan after he said something along the line of "right over here" when Hanji said something about wanting to meet titans? :/ I sort of thought that too the first time I watched it but after watching it again, it seemed more like he was annoyed that she was so focused on them and was saying he's just as dangerous as them . I think it's more likely that Levi was making the joke that Hanji is the deviant/abnormal one, because she's so kooky. |

Already in one of my first posts, I said that for those that had to leave the bulges at the instance of the breach, the wisdom of going would depend on where the titans were at that moment, and for those that were driven out later on, the options got even far further reduced and the bulges were THE ONLY options left to get some possible safety. They were NOT allowed to stay behind wall Rose. In fact, if you read the manga OR saw the anime, you should have known that. How could you have possibly missed that? Wall Rose area couldn't support them, so they were driven out, to 'fight' titans, but in reality to cull their numbers. It's all there, you know. Just rewatch it. |

LMAO you talking about the operation to retake Maria? HAHAHA the elite of the elite of the Recon Corps suffer 30% casualties when they go into Titan infested Maria. What in the living fuck makes you think that any of the refugees got anywhere close to the pocket cities located 250 kilometers through Titan infested hellhole. |

It's not a for-or-against-the-series issue. It's just an observation. So your asinine plan was based on the 250k people that got thrown out actually make it through the titan infested area to one the pocket cities, with anyone left intact?  |

Alright, i made an account just because of this conversation. I fully agree with you AnimageNeby. I fully agree on this observation. I actually think though that some people may have thought of this, but here is the thing. From Wall Rose to one of the bulges, it's 250Km away. There's also the fact inbetween those areas are infested with titans. Considering that soldiers have a hard time surviving in a bulge to fight, I doubt civilians can get all the way there with all those titans in the area. You also can't outrun a titan without a horse, and it's still possible they can catch up. There, all the other people responding to you were really pissing me off. |

Not only this, but if you manage to get a small number of people who can live there and grow enough food to survive, it's not like they can make other necessities. Anything they can't make easily on site (medicine, clothing, tools, etc) has to come from the main city, and any kind of slow moving caravan to bring it is just like a free snack for titans. It's just not sustainable in the long term. Anyone who ran there is just asking to screw themselves over and would probably just be written off as a "casualty" by the higher ups, so not really worth wasting the time to mention in the series. |

| Well, good episode. I feel like nothing much really happened in this episode, but it was still enjoyable, and that soundtrack is really awesome IMO. The soundtrack really adds alot to the scenes. What was that Eren-Titan transformation at the end? He transformed into half a titan? I prefered the badass titan from before, but maybe he is not used to that transformation power-jutsu-spell-thingy? I was also wondering at the beginning of the episode, don't they get dizzy by spinning that much? I mean, it does add power to the attack I guess, but it doesn't seem to be the optimal way, especially when you have to fight against multiple enemies. Maybe they have super-orientation abilities and take gravol before each battle? Overall, the series is quite enjoyable for the time being. Really looking forward what is coming next |

Armin could save himself. But he was completely frozen and didn't even try to.  And Mikasa didn't even look at him, she was completely focused on saving Eren. Had Eren not pulled away from Mikasa to run for Armin, he would have been ditched and blown away. As expected of Mikasa.

AnimageNeby said: So...wouldn't it make sense some stayed there? And even if not, say that they went all to the inner gate and left the whole area... wouldn't it have been a logical destination to go for, when they were forced out the inner wall because they were with too many? I would assume that some of them did, perhaps a lot of them; but that they were probably all killed off or so many were that the survivors are irrelevant to the story now. Let's put it this way: if I was suddenly tossed out on my ass in Titan territory, given a spear and told: "Fight and die!" I would probably bee-line it for one of the bulges too. But I probably wouldn't make it, and whether anyone followed me would be a completely different story. I mean, maybe we would make it; soldiers who go out to engage the Eotens (Eoten till I die, niggra) only suffer 30% casualties, we can assume that those who are running away/hiding might suffer less. Let's say that 5,000 of the 250,000 try to make it to the bulges. Let's say that 30% of them die. That leaves 1500 left. Probably too many to support, so let's say they lose a further 1/3 of their population in the first months. That leaves us with 1,000, probably mostly males (we aren't sure how the female/male ratio of the cast-aways was, but it would be reasonable to assume it wasn't 50/50) So let's say we have 200 females and 800 males. Well, that's not super sustainable, so we'd have a lot of rapes, crimes, killings, etc. That would probably kill another 200 or so (mostly males). So now we'd be left with ~200 females and ~500 males. More sustainable, but still not very nice. At that point though, that particular society is inconsequential to the wider tale. It's barely over town-size. Further, it's completely exposed to the Titans with no means of defense. Maybe they survive, maybe they don't. They would be cut-off though, so definitely irrelevant. It's an interesting point, but I highly doubt we will ever see any solid evidence either way. I can forgive the show for not dealing with that particular subject though. |

ReasonDesu said: I admit it was a rather pointless comment but come on "he can kill everyone else because of his cleanliness, which is why I like him" I really had to bite when such retarded statements are being thrown around. That about sums up the mental capacity of this thread 90% of the time. I actually mean your comments about the the Shingeki Defence Force. We were pretty much trying to prove how unlikely AnimageNeby pocket city theory is, not actually defending the show itself on this occasion. :V My bad if you misunderstood my post I should have quoted better. |

dankickyou said: But his comments were pretty spot on. The theory isn't entirely implausible, in fact, it makes a lot of sense. I can see calling it irrelevant, but being so heated about it being COMPLETELY RETARDED is going too far.

Further, the fact that two people responded to the jab at the "Shingeki Defence Force" within the hour, is a pretty good indication that ya'll are a little to sensitive about this whole thing. Better yet was that both of you responded pretty venomously, lol. I understand defending a show, I understand getting heated about it, but damn son(s), take a chill pill. |

| The pocket city theory sound nice, could save some land and a perfect place for those convict and unrest.It does look like a jail city . lol Seriously, people are called hero for just staying in those bulge city with one side Titan and the other a safer side , and now you want them to have surrounded by giant . Think about the fear and pressure just to live inside . |
