I was under the impression that Historia's mom didn't hate her, but knew that a day would come where they would be executed to protect the pure bloodlines of the wallists. If she got close to her daughter, it would only make it that much more tragic when she was taken away. Or I'm completely wrong and she hated her daughter because she knew having her was her death sentence.

Nah she fuckin hates her.

I just finished watching the "Ilse's Notebook" OVA. There's some characterization in there for Hanji that's good but the most interesting factor has to be that after eating Ilse, the titan apparently still thought she was Ymir, because it set up a tiny shrine in a tree for her and everything. If this is canon, does that mean that who/whatever is behind the regular and aberrant titans thinks that Ymir is dead? Of course she wouldn't know that but it gives her some more room to maneuver now with regard to Reiner and Bert.

They made an OVA of that? That's interesting. I thought it was actually pretty cool that they didn't include it in the anime among other things.

Yes, but Total Eclipse doesn't really do a good job of portraying it. The BETA have a strain that are basically giant eyeballs that can shoot poo poo out of the air with perfect accuracy, so bombers aren't an option unless the laser class are all taken out. As far as mines, they do do that, but the BETA just keep going. They do use artillery bombardment and tanks, but the Destroyer class is nearly impervious to them.

You can't get the nukes close enough so long as the laser class are around. After taking those out with whatever you've got, they use conventional warheads, since nukes aren't really that much more effective compared to standard warheads in major quantities.

That's still pretty much what happens. The only reason TSFs get the edge on laser class when they're coming head on is that laser class never ever ever hit their allies and you can kinda use them as cover. That's what makes tanks pretty well defended against them, most strains are way bigger than tanks.

I'm not saying blowing them up is bad or anything, nukes just aren't really that great against poo poo in practice, even in real life. As far as the tomahawks go, that would be loving cool

e: and I think the main reason they don't use them in muv-luv is that they don't want to leave a whole bunch of blasted nuclear hellscapes all over their countries when the beta will just come back again. so they settle for regular hellscapes.

In one timeline yes, but the Earth is basically destroyed. Most of the worlds oceans are turned to salty wastelands with hosed up physics, but the BETA on Earth are basically gone. However, there's BETA colonies on Mars and the Moon that are way more developed than any of the ones on Earth were, so if they decide to close in on Earth it's over. A colony ship was sent from Earth, though, and it's implied it found a habitable planet.

In the main timeline, it hasn't gotten to that, but they probably will beat the BETA.

I'm not really a vn guy but from what I understand they're almost universally PC games, and PC games in japan implies a certain kind of customer. A goon, basically. So they market to them. Sometimes vns are actually good and can be sold to slightly more normal people (console gamers)

The thing that always always cheesed me off about this series is the one detail early on where they illustrated how futile it is to try to blow the titans' heads off with cannons. I think I'd have been fine with the conceit of having dudes swinging around Spiderman-style killing titans with fancy swords, if they didn't have guns and cannons. That chapter showed titans getting their heads clearly blown off. With a blow that's big enough to take the head off cleanly from the base of the neck, you'd imagine that it'd be enough to take out the person inside the neck in the area where they typically chop.

Aside from that, one also wonders why they haven't devised some sort of system of ropes, trip-wires, and suspended guillotine blades to take out the titans. Or, if they are capable of making compressed air-powered grappling hooks, why they don't simply shoot great harpoons on ropes at the titans, drag them down, and slay them while they are incapacitated on the ground?

My point being is that humans are terrifically creative at thinking up ways to kill things that are bigger, stronger and faster than they are. Our Ice-age ancestors were hunting mammoths and other gigantic Pleistocene creatures, armed with only pointy sticks and fire. It seems trivial for people at a 19th century level of technological development to fight creatures that average only 5-15m tall.

Really it sort of starts to fall apart when you give it a moment's thought.
I think a lot of that's due to the fact that only one faction of the military has put much, if any, thought into the development of weapons against titans. The recon corps is the only one that actively goes out and fights titans, and it's arguable that the other two are in their own ways against that goal. The thing Zoe invented to try and catch Annie is a good example of them trying to come up with new weapons against the titans with limited resources. The recon corps can't just order around the industrial base of the Walls beyond maybe just ordering more of what they're already making.

Maybe it's not Eren's memory and Titans can absorb the memories of the people they eat. Maybe his dad didn't give Eren a booster shot of Titan Juice, but liquid memory or something
