I'm not seeing where that is so farfetched, thus, if you look at it in the context of the universe that has been made. Yeah exactly, they are humans fighting Titans with a few machines they made up for that porpose... I pretty much can predict wth will happen from now on, he will just "turn" in to a giant and save humanity, end of story. PS: I still like the series though. Just the seting was liek 13 out of 10 now droped to 9 out of 10 for me, thats it. You couldn't be any more wrong. I hope I am... Im evoidign reading the manga with all my might so I can apreciate the show to its fullest. |

AnimageNeby said: zellami said: [AnimageNeby] Their other choice at that point being...? Fighting the damn bastards with focus, knowledge, and resolve (fear put into use). And that would augment their survival chances? You really believe that? No, I do not agree with that being the best option (they wouldn't even know if wall Rose would let them enter anymore anyhow, after all), but if I *had* to choose between what you say and what ssjokg says, I think I'd prefer his. Hiding seems a far better way of escaping death than barehanded (or at least as well as) fighting against titans. I think the ones remaining at the end, as the story now has been written, are more likely to be the cowards than the brave ones (or should we say foolish ones). Lol, be my guest, i knew you've been reading something else all along. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Curious about the next episode in terms of adaptation. Hopefully, it will raise the suspense higher. |

I think you might appreciate the next arc even more if that is your main concern. |

| Damn... I might be reading into the lines falsely...but take a look at this: (no glow for the 'normal' titans) Not sure if this is just a way to make them look more cool/threatening, or it means "free glowing eyes for the recently transformed abnormals" and which would/could mean somebody just transformed into that armored one... your thoughts? |

Raetin said: What gates?I just thought of something. Those bulge cities, when they left, did they leave the gates open? When they left the city, in what condition did they leave it in? If the gates were closed when the residents left, how would they get in? If the gates were open, what if there were titans already inside? Or what if when they were going through the gates, the titans were on them, making it futile to close the gates unless they can kill the ones on them? Just a bunch of questions I thought of that could also show why they didn't survive if they were to make it. |

| Great episode and I'm really liking the new characters. Levi, I can only assume, I what Eren will end up being. Hanji is a good addition to the women; other than Mikasa and Annie, the women aren't getting enough air time. |

Oh, wasn't talking about that, was talking about those residents sent out to go and fight titans going to one of the city bulges. Yeah, I doubt that when they were evacuating the bulge cities, they closed the gates after everyone left. And if the gates were left open, then it's not impossible that some titans would wander in, despite no one being left in the cities. With what you said in mind, then even if there were people who could successfully make it to the pocket cities, they still couldn't have survived. Good point :) |

Oh, wasn't talking about that, was talking about those residents sent out to go and fight titans going to one of the city bulges. The outer and the inner gates of Wall Maria at Shiganshina are holes (crushed by the Colossal and the Armored), meaning people need to fix them somehow or plug them somehow, with titans attacking them all the way b/w Wall Rose and Wall Maria and on the spot. I believe the purpose of the initial plan for the recovery of Wall Maria was to get back there and fix at least the inner gate of Wall Maria and cut off the flood of titans though the holes. What happened in the other 3 pocket-cities is unknown, except that the manga shows the whole inner field b/w Walls Maria and Rose being taken over by titans. In episode 1, we see that the inner gates are usually open. In 845 the attack was unexpected, communications perhaps were even worse than in 850 - all the titans needed to do, was to walk the distance and enter into the cities through the inner gates. (Let exclude the possibility that other deviants were present or needed there). Apparently, humankind can't reach those cities first - they tried and failed once (the manga doesn't say whether the expedition was only in direction to Shiganshina, although it makes most sense to stop the titans coming through the holes there). |

Just to look cool. I am sure that the Armored Titan ALWAYS has "glowing" eyes in the manga.And The Colossal has normal eyes except for one part in the manga that is irrelevant to transformation. Eren's Titan-eyes were glowing even when he was trying to reach the Titan that Killed Thomas whwn they were normal a few scenes ago and in the scenes after that. |
| Great episode like usual :) - Levi's seiyuu is awesome :D - Flashbacks handled pretty good - Fantastic OST - Pissed off Mikasa makes anyone shit their pants |

Eren's Titan-eyes were glowing even when he was trying to reach the Titan that Killed Thomas when they were normal a few scenes ago and in the scenes after that. I know, thats why i wrote "recently transformed" --- but true, that there is more scenes with 'normal' eyes than 'glowing' - and like you said, it happened later on too-, with him or other abnormals. It just struck me that 'hmm, where have i seen this before". ^^' |

| 5/5 IchigoHollowfi said:  Eren when the little guy throws that punch, really deserved a ten as a vote, that punch! I truly felt the boy's pissed off! XD I do not read the manga, not to ruin the surprise, but I liked the flashback on previous installments and return immediately in the present, makes it more intriguing vision, I wonder now why the girl with glasses has become so old or is only the hair color fool you, because I think she's the one with the ponytail seen at the beginning of the episode. Beautiful explanation to demonstrate the miraculous rescue of Eren! The next episode really deserves to be seen to understand what has combined the boy to defend his sister and his friend! I can not even imagine what is beneath his house, then! Here is the face of those who fear to lose his beloved! Fear! X°°D Stark700 said:  |

AnimageNeby said: I've been reading up on evacuations of cities, and it's apparent that in any group large enough, you will always have residents that will refuse to leave, even resisting compulsory evacuation, or hide, etc. This seems to be normal human behaviour. It's not farfetched, then, that some WILL have stayed behind in those pocket cities (another reason to close the gates, me thinks). So as I said in the beginning, it is reasonable to assume there are survivors left in those city offshoots. Their viability on the long term can be contested or doubted too, but since they will be no more than a few dozen at most, I think their survival possibilities in regard to space to grow food is better met. Oh that's interesting, what you researched about evacuations. It's true that there will be people who won't evacuate. That could be a reason for them to close the gates, but at the same time, I feel that maybe they were too busy evacuating everyone that they don't have the time to actually close the gates. I mean there are titans roaming around, and they would need to leave the cities as quick as possible before the titans fully disperse :/ YET then again, it shouldn't take that long to close the gates for the people who stayed behind anyways. So I guess in the end, it's still possible that there might be very few people still surviving in the 3 other pocket cites on Wall Maria. |

Providing that there were any humans left in there which I sincerely doubt. |

That's true that titans do sense humans, but it's possible to say I also doubt that there might be survivors living in the pocket cities, but I'm kind of playing devil's advocate here, regarding a hypothetical situation where there might be survivors outside of the Wall Rose. :) |

Neby answers this in the post above this one :) Just elaborating a little on Neby's post, yes they are trying to eradicate the humans as we've seen so far, but then wouldn't it be better to just destroy Wall Rose and then even Wall Sina right after, rather than to run even farther to the other pocket cities? |

| And how 10-15 k leftovers would burden them when the titans presumably have already wiped 1 000 000 people? Let say there are people in the three pocket-cities. Has anybody of you read what takes to live under siege (which would be the case) for 5 years, given the structure of Shiganshina and Trost (2 pocket-cities we've seen so far).[Gates are closed] |
| Even assuming that either there were some people that didn't leave the pocket cities, or by some God given miracle some of the 200k people that got the boot made it to one. What have these people been living off of for the past 2-5years? Hopes & dreams? Rats? I would love to know. |
