Why is this always suggested for population control?

Cause same-sex couples can't procreate, and marriages tend to be sexually monogamous?

What would happen if the population went down? Encourage opposite sex marriage again???

Suggesting it as a form of birth control would be a shock to the most population in SNK....

Sure, why not? Societal attitudes have always influenced individuals' personal lives. If population numbers drop dangerously (and with all the food shortage in SnK it'll take a generation at least to get there) people would start talking about how childless women are selfish, unproductive members or society etc etc, and the social stigma would make some people adjust their behaviour.

Edit: Shoot, I didn't see your edit before posting. What would the appropriate thread be, general discussion?

To make this comment remotely relevant, I thought it was interesting that Levi reminded Erwin about exactly how much lives were sacrificed for this mission. Wonder if it ties with Jean's borderline treasonous conversation with Armin last episode, and if Erwin's willingness to sacrifice his own troops will come to bite him in the ass someday.

Edit: If you told me what you think the appropriate thread is, I would post there NOW.

Scenario:

The food inside the walls can't support the growing population anymore so the government declared that gay marriage are allowed and encourage. Hetero marriage are discouraged.

After a couple of years... The Titans attack and ate a lot of people and the man power is needed once again. The government changed it's policies again. Gay marriage is discouraged and hetero marriage are encouraged. Gay couples should find an opposite partner for the mean time to join the re-population policy of the government.....

Ok...even if I was gay,. I'll be pissed off...

Anyway... let's end it here.... Quote me and post it to the appropriate thread NOw...

Get more off topic you

NoemiChan · 2013-08-19, 19:01

Are you not amazed how they able to prepare the trap in such a small amount of time?

lateraldeath · 2013-08-19, 22:47

When I saw the ep, I felt somehow Erin's decision to not go titan mode wasn't as convincing as I remembered in the manga, even though the bite marks were a good touch. Then I reread this part in the manga and they actually cut out a monologue of Eren.

It's not really a spoiler considering the anime's past this point but I guess just in case.

Spoiler:

Personally I think this monologue would also have made the upcoming eps more meaningful as well but I guess the director thought it was more important to end eps at cliffhangers.

I don't mind slow eps with filler content like Trost but skipping things from the manga and rushing does bother me...

yup, and looking at your profile icon you are also one of the person who replied to my post

I actually intended as a reply to the below quote to say that the manga showed Eren's decision also had his own desires in them, but totally forgot about it when I posted this.

That's not an easy decision to make and I don't think being calm would necessarily sway you to one side or another. But you certainly need to be calm to make that decision.

Yep and Studio Daume will be handing next week as well. WIT will be back for eps 21 and 22.

if you can read japanese

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Wait how can you tell it's Daume? for ep 20 only the script and storyboard is named, Animation director and Production is "undecided" in that image.

Also are the names in there company names or people's names who working those company?

Yeah that's a shame.

To be fair, the production staff probably didn't have much time to include that. We did get the generally point though.

The info came from another forum, but if see this episode's credit you might see them listed.

see that's something I've wondered. I get that production takes time, but what gets put in the ep should be the director and the scripter's job, and that i feel should be really fast since it's just an idea. Which means to me it's an intentional decision rather than some sort of time constraint.

i don't think ideas are created just 1,2,3 . conceptualization takes time you know

But they don't need to conceptualize. They are just converting what's already in the manga into anime form and that's my point why I feel it should be quick.

Double_Edge · 2013-08-20, 22:54

They are exceedingly well armed and prepared for a capture mission... But how did they know that a titan was gonna chase them down like that in the first place?

I can believe Erwin pulling a Tyrion to find a mole, but how are they going to explain why Erwin was so well prepared for this? Going into a forest with a clean, paved path? Knowing that there was only a single enemy? What if on the offset of their expedition, titans appeared in a way that would steer them away from the forest? And having that kind of equipment in the first place? There was no indication that a titan would hunt them down like this so why was he so prepared for this specific situation?

Unless they are just deus it because things are just falling too perfectly into place and it's kind of lame.

jeroz · 2013-08-21, 01:54

They took a gigantic detour in ep18 if you haven't noticed

Also if there are other complications they would've just use another method already

The expedition itself was likely set up as bait to lure out the traitors who killed Sonny and Bean. If they were to interfere again, the only thing that could put a stop to the mission would be one or more special titans, so it made sense that they would prepare weapons for that threat. I don't remember if Irwin planned to go to that forest specifically if shit hit the fan but there's really nothing stopping them from setting up the trap elsewhere, like an abandoned village.

Anh_Minh · 2013-08-21, 15:38

It would take time to get the cannons in place (they're not canons they brought with them in the wagons - someone had to bring them to the forest ahead of time), so, yes, he had planned to use the forest. And a village wouldn't be safe from Titans, so they couldn't stay there for long.

But if the enemy Titans had been so organized they could keep them from the forest, they were screwed anyway.

Don't know what he'd done if there'd been two Titans, though. Kill one and try to capture the other?
