The connection has an extra connection to Evangelion because like the walls of the city, the Eva pilots have a barrier called an Absolute Terror Field A. F which separates them from the angels, which has been interpreted by many as the barriers we put up around ourselves metaphorically to keep others from both knowing us completely and hurting us.
If we look at it from this perspective, Eren Jaeger, the main character, could be viewed as rage, as it is only by feelings of anger and pain fuel his transformation. Mikasa Ackerman, another cadet could be viewed as stoic, since she seems more walled off or emotionally distant, while Armin Alert would likely be anxiety.
Still, the idea of the wall attacking as a metaphorical barrier as well as a literal one is plausible. Willpower in this show is an incredibly important theme in the show, especially because many of the characters spend the majority of their time ignoring their survival instincts and attacking huge monsters whose single mentality is to eat them. This theory goes even further than that, especially when you look at the individual characters. Eren represents the will to kill Titans because that is his only go and keeps him going in the show.
Mikasa, while killing Titans in the show, is less preoccupied by this act but more so protecting Eren, representing the will to protect. Sasha shows the will to eat, i.
Armin, the least capable of the fighters, also show the will to learn, but he is less interested in understanding Titans the way Hanji is and more so to see the outside world that the Titans have made impossible to see.
Connie Springer represents the will to fight in the face of personal fear as he has been represented one of the more frightened characters. In terms of which will he represents, Jean Kirschtein is one of the most difficult to pin down. He is rather stubborn and opposed to fighting, but he has been a noted strategist due to ability to understand weakness.
The most accurate fit, I believe, is that Jean represents the will to carry on, the will that does not actively seek to engage in fighting, but will do so out of necessity, and is in fact quite good at it. All of the characters show a desire of some sort surrounding their situation with the Titans, be it active or passive, and all of them share the will to survive. It is these wills, it would seem, that keep our characters stable and moving forward.
The most obvious of the theories concerning the theories is that the show is a thesis on duty and allegiance. These are the two big question put into play at the beginning of the show, especially once the kids begin their training. Eren believe those who can fight have the duty of fighting rather than choosing the most privilege position.
Jean disagrees — mostly because he does not want to die but also because the King, as their leader, has to remain protected. Mikasa feels her duty is to be with, and protect, Eren out of a sense of love and debt. Ultimately, what does does duty, and what specifically is the duty of the able when the end of humanity is on the line?
This is a big question looming in the early episodes of the show, and will resurface as it catches up with the manga. Should they swear allegiance to their King, a distant and ultimately useless leader? To humanity? To their commanders? Each other? Do they owe it to themselves to survive or give up in their lives in the hope that it will help humanity continue?
Does Eren align himself to humans, to Titans, to no one, being able to transform as he can? Who should we pledge our allegiance too, and what is our own personal duty to each other and our world at large?
This whole show could be about these interpersonal relationships and how the choices we make not only affect us but the people around us, and even human kind as a whole. People are going crazy about this in the anime community.
To me, this has good story but nothing spectacular. The first 5 episodes drew attention because of its fast paced nature, gave us the setting for the story, the characters fears and doubts, everything was fine, then, something happened, everything slowed down to a crawl which is not character development , then two episodes with Armin crying and some mindless chatter on how they are going to do things, then on the next episode they expand on the chatter on how they are going to do things just for them to not do them on that episode either, it just goes on and on so far.
This is generally the problem with anime released with ongoing manga See FMA first series mess , though, to be fair, the manga started just as slow. Well you think wrong. Cowboy Bebop was a masterpiece of music and storytelling. There is nothing special about SNK. Just stop it ok? Seriously, no one cares which anime is better. If you think Cowboy Bepop is good, then good for you. We think AoT is good. And how do we? ITs all hype. Till then the mystery of the titans will stay that way and frankly from all that I saw, oh well.
This is in no way over analysis. The author is thinking outside the box and bringing up ideas that the reader may not have realized yet. What is wrong with discussing different thoughts and concepts? Throughout every moment of the show, the characters and plot move forward, they never stand still.
If you could see the themes and details of the show, you would actually be able to appreciate it. Nice theories!
It does have more conventional trappings as it progresses but there are also plenty of plot twists coming up and the never ending violence with any interaction of Titans.
I want to witness its greatness. Every now and then, Naruto has its amazing fight scenes, Rock Lee vs. Gaara is still one of my favorite Anime fight scenes of all time.
But for every great episode of Naruto, there are crappy ones. Just started to watch this yesterday and at first I thought this was going to be some kid show, but I was way wrong.
This show is dark! And it has its parts where you really want revenge to happen. Enjoyed the post Sara. Love speculating on this…. Your theories make me want to rewatch the series. One of my first thoughts was the classic consumerism analogy. You could fill in that blank with dozens of different things, until you think about all that Titans do: Devour humanity itself.
They just consume and will continue to do so until there is nothing left of humanity. For me, one of the main messages I took from watching this show is the relationships that develop between soldiers. Most war movies romanticize the camaraderie and brotherhood that develops in the trenches, but they rarely discuss the true effects of war on a soldier. They rarely show you pissing your pants, paralyzing fear that they face, they never show how much they struggle to be honorable and fight for each other rather than just running away in fear.
