This thread is for those of you with questions about the Attack on Titan anime or manga. There are many questions that don't need a whole thread to discuss them. A simple practical answer straight from the anime or manga without any speculation can solve these connundrums. If someone has such a question about Attack on Titan which can be solved by answering with facts from an official source, then please ask that question here.
Please don't post in this thread unless you are asking a question or answering one. Please remember that it only takes 1 person to answer a question. And don't speculate! You can only reply with cold, hard, merciliessly unforgivable facts. If you have to speculate, then please just tell the querrant that no answer is known, but here are some facts that might help him make up his own mind. Make sure you use spoiler tags if your question is about the anime, manga, or any non-anime source. Untagged spoilers are risking a ban. There are two ways to create clearly marked spoiler tags, as shown in the following: The easy way: By simply clicking on this icon which can be found in the Quick Reply or Reply to Thread template. This is how I create spoiler tags. orThe macho way: By using those uber vB codes as shown in the following...

Removed all talk on fansubs, AoT is licensed so discussing why certain fansubs do something isn't allowed.
I do actually have a question, how old is everyone suppose to be after the time-skip? Someone today told me 12. Looking for confirmation.

Ignoring the guys, I just find that the weight is really off for the girls. Most of them look like they are on the heavy end. Most girls would consider themselves as extremely fat at 68 kg, even for that kind of height. Moreover, even if they are training as soldiers and gaining muscle mass, it still seem to be too much, or at least from the drawings |

Seriously Mikasa weighs a lot more than you would expect from a girl of her height that isn't fat.
But Reiner and Berthold aren't joking either. That apart I can't help by being bothered by how Annie's and Christa's heads are so small compared to the others. Clearly the chara designer didn't consider their heights when he drew them.

There's something that has been piquing my curiosity about the gears the soldiers are seen wearing on their sides.
What is the purpose of the boxes they carry on both their left and right sides? If we add the weight of the belts plus the boxes, how much weight (estimated) the soldiers are capable of carrying? I mean for the soldiers to carry that much equipment without losing mobility and speed either the equipment is made of a lightweight material or the condition of the soldiers themselves is above that of a human. That second option I doubt it, because as far as I've seen into the anime there are no indications or hints to suggest or imply bio-augmentation is on the works. |

The lines and grapples are apparently stored in the drum container you see attached to the small of their backs. I noticed that, in Ep4, the anime presents the drum differently from the manga. I don't know if that's intentional. Quote:

The design of the 3DMG isn't completely implausible, although I strongly suspect that the line and grapple will be highly prone to potentially life-threatening jams. As for their swords, to me, they are highly improbable. A detachable blade with such a short tang is highly unlikely to be able to withstand the huge amount of stress impact it is apparently subjected to. The pin that keeps the blade attached to the hilt would have to be impossibly strong to withstand the shock each time a soldier slashes across a hard object. |

Just off another forum. Actually, there was similar image posted here but it only had the weights shown and the characters on the bottom weren't there.

(or does "Annie" and "Christa" and "Sasha" sound Asian to you?) Also, it is said that weighing as much as your height (without the 100 of course, so for example 170 cm = 70 kg etc) is ideal (saw that on TV once in some kinda report/documentary-something). I would say their height/weight balance is okay and normal for European, and really, I'm sure most people would agree with me that the setting is more of a European-like setting |
