Get in line which starts around 2 miles down the road. And no cutting in!
I've to admit her presence felt a little convenient to me. Hack, at one point I was like.... She's got blonde hair!!!! Wait just a minute.... Then later in the episode the female titan is still running with all her exposed, athletic glory. I'm looking forward to Levy doing something glorious to justify the amount of death the fellow Corps are throwing themselves into. She is so ridiculously overpowered that I'm not sure even Eren's titan form will be a match against her. Preview shows Eren is going to bite himself, so really looking forward to the next episode.

Wow great episode, it goes without saying...I somehow randomly stumbled upon this show and in two weeks I've finally caught up (which is bittersweet since now I have to waaaaait T_T), but without going too deep into stuff, what I find incredible about this show is the absolute dread the characters go through on a week-to-week basis...You don't see fear, loathing, apathy, acceptance, and petrification on a consistent level like this often...
The only show that I can think of that is nearly the same level is Kaiji which does dread just as well despite it being gambling debts replacing cannibalistic jolly giants... So im wondering if this show is done by or has any relation to Kaiji or the Kaiji anime team because the characters (designs) and their antics really favor the Kaiji-world (even the detailed attention to REASONING and PONDERING things) which is whole 'nother layer of awesome given how much I love that show too...

Question: Did the humans thought of using the forest where the giant trees grow as their based of operation since Titans can't climb trees... It could have been a good strategy to lure them Titans to an area where the humans had an advantage..... Why wait for Titan's to attack and bring the battle to their walls?

Also... aren't they also good hunters... a lot of food could be gather in the forest.... I don't think Titans give a damn about deers and birds.... The already problem I could think of is water but that could be fixed by conserving rain water.... I admire they are skilled Titan slayer but I'll be disappointed that they don't know anything about basic survival skills... |

Yeah, Titans might both the city and the forest... but which is better.. 100 Titans attacking only a city or 50 Titans attacking them in their base in the forest and 50 in the forest. I think its very smart strategy.... Quote:

Sure you could travel at night when the Titans are least active but then you have no way of knowing if the resupply team is going to make back before dawn or if the supplies would even make it back safe. So why take the risk? Better safe then sorry I'd say.

Forrest isn't in their strategic advantage. Open space is... within the confinement of those giant walls. Think about it for a second.... What's the most common natural calamity takes place in forest on a regular basis? Fire, of course! There is a reason why large group of people live in open space in our world, aside for farming, irrigation, grazing for domesticated animal for meat, etc. Also, while a dumb titan can't climb trees, a smart titan can start a fire and smoke em' out in the open field for the dumb titans.

They may had tried it before the wall was built but they didn't have 3d gear in that time either.

And they call themselves the best???? Why did they go and accompanied Eren out in the wilderness to check something that is hopeful,,, even if they're not really sure??? They took the risk right? At the loss of many? Why not risking a night travel then where Titans as you have said is less active... And I thought they're the top among the rest....

Food, yeah, they got rations like you Americans do... but ours is pretty different, they like real, fresh ones.... They raise chickens and pigs at their detachments up in the mountains because hey, why the hell do they will rely on rations when during operations you will likely get ambush on the usual supply routes... Another thing.... I recalled my father told me that the get water from creeks two kilometers to get a couple of gallons of water to drink knowing the creek is an ambush site.. the same place where rebels get their water..... Why risk your life for water? Well, if you don't do it... You die... Quote:

historically gatling canons are mounted with wheels and are pushed, but what about gatling canons mounted on horses. they could be used as artillery and support. what the recon corps lacks is artillery support since they are dealing with titans they need something that can provide huge damage

Wow.. You are wrong. No, beyond wrong. Play MLA or otherwise don't discuss it in here. I don't want to even correct you. BETA info you described is like for beginners for Muv-Luv series. Also, the Titans are explained better through later chapters in the manga...

- Your military engages rebels in the mountainous region frequently so the problems don't reach the urban areas and your cities. - Your military grouped and organized in detachments in those backward regions for reasons that has to do with the opportunistic rebels' not fighting fair, the geographical location, and the sustainability of the army so they can't be ambushed at every turn and can fight for a long duration at a time. Question: Can you give an idea of the structural configuration about how those detachments are built? Are those buildings, barracks, large camps, fenced area etc? Surely they aren't living on trees, are they? - Your military raises cattle/chicken to supplement some of their meat product, mostly because a steady supply isn't a doable option. (I almost want to get up and start doing "yes, yes" like Jim Carrey [timecode 1:29] at this admission of yours. ) Do they have designated areas to do that? Again, an idea behind those detachment will help to show how your military can support itself to meet some of its food concerns. - Your government is corrupt. Let's see if we can incorporate some of those problem you observed about your country with the Titan world. - They have massive political corruption to the point where they don't mind who is killed or sacrificed in large numbers as long as their own hide are saved. - Supplying soldiers with steady amount of material is virtually impossible due to giant naked men and women with unflattering asses are constantly trying to eat them the soon they step out the safety of their confinement. If that wasn't a problem, the rampant corruption would have made sure there were no steady stream of supply for the army even though those are the very people who are risking their necks to keep the peace at home. Doesn't this remind your own situation at home where city dwellers maintain some semblance of peace because the army is taking the rebel on in those mountainous region? With those thoughts lingering, let's move on to the next segment of your argument: Quote:

So couple of question in light of those thoughts above (yours and mine put together): if the government isn't willing to put out steady supply to these best of the best soldiers who are risking their neck to fight the titans, what exactly is the incentive to fight them to begin with? Why would the government keep an army around if all their surviving skill are good for saving themselves rather than the body of government who hired/organized the army? Why would these elite soldiers want to engage titans when they are so versed in survival techniques and the goal is to survive? The best victory is the one that is acquired without throwing a single fist, isn't it? Quote:
P.S. I hope no one will mind this little debate here considering the thread seems to have dried up already. Feel free to post your thoughts with this topic or any other related to this episode anytime you want without paying any mind to our skirmish.
