My Experience With Anime As I Grew Up

     As time moves your opinions change, you develop more as a person, you start to enjoy different things. Anime is the same, the reason behind why you watch it, and what types of anime you enjoy change overtime. A fair number of people "grow out" of anime as they age, but no matter what, your view on anime changes as you age. This is what I am going to talk about today, my experience with anime and how my opinion of anime changed as I aged.

     I experienced my first anime at the age of twelve. I grew up without cable TV and instead my family would torrent TV instead, meaning that what you watch is limited to what you know. However when I was twelve my dad and I watched Spirited Away, my first anime. This opened up a whole new world for me, I originally thought that all animated shows/movies were meant for little kids (4-10 year olds), I never really thought that wasn't a little kid would enjoy it (same goes for my dad). You could say that my ignorance towards animation/anime was broken, it became obvious that you didn't have to be a little kid to enjoy anime.

     A few months later we got the infamous Netflix, and I watched my next anime, Jyo Oh Sei. I ended up binge-watching the show in a single sitting, I was enthralled with the action and more mature theme of the show. Once again my thoughts and opinion of anime was shattered, it became clear to me that there was no limit to anime, the story and animation could take any shape and form it would like. And as a twelve year old kid, I was in shock and aw.

     From the ages twelve to fifteen I watched anime for the action scenes and for the sexual jokes, lets face it you can't get sexual jokes like you do in anime, I never really thought of anime as anything more than that. When I turned fifteen I discovered Ken Cannon (He is a con-artist), I watched a few of his videos and I wanted to learn Japanese the first step towards becoming a weeaboo. I slowly started to tread down the weeaboo path, convinced that anime and Japan should be worshiped, I guess you could say my views changed dramatically. Luckily when I turned sixteen I actually went to Japan and realized how messed up Japanese culture is, and how messed up weeaboos are (I also learned what a weeaboo was).

     The shock of reality from my trip to Japan set me straight, and I came to understand that anime should be taken as media entertainment, and nothing more. I continued this trend and by the time I was seventeen I had become very selective of what kind of anime I watched, I was no longer interested in the intense action or sexual jokes of anime. Instead I started to watch anime like Steins; Gate and Monster, I also stopped watching pretty much all "school" anime. I realized that anime could do what regular TV could not, produce horrifying (dark) ideas and storylines which could not be shown in a regular TV show. It pushed the lines of social acceptable ideas in shows, anime can push forward mature ideas, which are not meant for young audiences, nor are they seen on TV.

     Throughout the years, my views and opinions on anime have developed and changed as I grew up, and became more mature. As I talk to people who have also had their opinion about anime changed as they grew up, I have noticed that I am greatful that it has been part of my life up to this point. I may not watch very much anime now, but the experience and thoughts that I have had while growing up with anime, are something that I will always keep with me. All in all, I am happy that I didn't become a weeaboo, or that I turned out to be like TheAnimeMan.

     Thanks for reading about my experience with anime as I grew up, I am quiet surprised you made it all the way to the end :p If you have any questions or comments feel free to put them below in the comments below :)

Longer Anime vs. Shorter Anime (Virgin Thought)

     Greetings readers, I am back! This time I am bringing you my thoughts to the table about the watch length of anime seasons and what I think of them. If you haven't already noticed most "modern" anime are made up of 12-13 episodes in total, while older anime tend to have a minimum of 26 episodes. Don't get me wrong, if an anime is super popular it gets renewed for another season which adds an additional 12-13 episodes onto its length, some examples are Tokyo Ghoul, and Knights of Sidonia. There are many pros and cons from having shorter and longer anime series for both the producer and the consumer, but I will stick strictly to the consumer for now.

     The amount of time it takes to watch an anime, and the amount of time we set aside to watch anime, greatly reflects and changes how engaged we are with the show, and how much we will enjoy it. Shorter anime made up of 13 episodes (23 minutes per episode) takes roughly a total or 5 hours to watch, or 300 minutes. Longer anime made up of 26 or 52 episodes (23 minutes per episode) generally takes 10 to 20 hours to watch, or 600-1200 minutes. There is a huge gap in time between short and long anime, but which one is really better? If you only watch anime every once in a while, or don't have time to watch a few episodes of anime at a time, you would probably go with the shorter anime since you can complete series relatively quickly. If you watch anime frequently, or watch in blocks, the longer anime would probably suit your needs more than a shorter anime. When looking at time constraints only, the shorter anime series generally work best for people since it allows them to watch entire series relatively quickly and makes sure that the consumer isn't watching the same anime for 6 months straight.

     Now we shall compare the long and short anime based on the quality of their content, and ability to create and maintain a captivating storyline. The shorter anime is roughly the same length as two movies, meaning that it can properly develop the characters while still having enough time to carry out a proper storyline and sequence of events. The longer anime can do go much deeper into character development, and contain a large quantity of events, or long lasting events. However the longer the show, the more likely it is for the consumer to lose interest, or for the storyline to drag on for an unneeded amount of time. To put it bluntly the shorter anime are generally well put together, and condense, designed to put the consumer through a single viewing experience. When the longer anime are meant to pull the consumer into a deep character plot, where you follow the characters through multiple events and see them change and develop based on their experiences.

     When comparing the amount of time it takes to watch long and short anime, and the variety of strengths that each has, it is hard to decide a clear winner. What is really comes down to is personal preference, if you enjoy long story-rich plots you should watch longer anime, if you prefer shorter more focused storylines, you should watch shorter anime.  However I will dub shorter anime series better than longer anime series simply because if there is a demand, the producers can always add another 13 episode block, you can't really beat that in my opinion.

     Thanks for reading yet another one of my posts, and if you want to give your own thoughts about long vs. short anime, feel free to do so in the comments below. On a side note I have also decided that I will not be maintaining a posting schedule (although I will aim to continuously pump out posts), I will be posting more sporadically over a longer period of time. I simply don't want to commit to a posting schedule which I may be unable to uphold.

Have a wonderful day/night, and I hope you will stay tuned for the next post,

Should I Watch: Ajin?

   Welcome to yet another Should I Watch post, I have a feeling that I am quiet terrible at this, but it doesn't matter since you will probably read this anyways. This week I am going to be talking about the anime Ajin, the TV show, not the movie. I would also like to note that there are no spoilers.

Source: http://ajin.net/common/img/ogp2.jpg

   The first thing I should note is that the first five episodes of the TV series is actual the first movie split up into 5 parts, if you have already watched the movie and are curious about the show you will have to wait until episode 6 before you get any new content. Talk about being cheap, the first 5 episodes of the show is literally the movie, plus a theme song. If you are curious about the show and have not seen the first movie you have come to the right place. I shall indulge you with my opinion of the show (based off of what I have seen).

   The story is about a seventeen year old student named Kei Nagai who lives in a world were these mystical beings called Ajin roam the earth, they also look exactly like humans and if they are captured by the government they are treated inhumanly and sadistically experimented on. The only difference between a regular human and an Ajin is that Ajins are immortal and have a few extra powers on the side. I am sure you can guess who is an Ajin, if you guessed Kei Nagai you are correct.

I have to say that Kei is the most unpredictable character I have ever come across, he doesn't care for others but yet he feels the need to live by the rules and morals setup by society. He thinks logically and unaffected by emotion, but for some reason he feels the need to live by societies rules, it honestly doesn't make sense for someone of his personality. You can't judge him through 'good or evil', nor is he the reluctant hero, Kei's character is something completely unique from what you have seen before.

I have mixed opinions about the animation style used for the anime, it is the same style of animation that they used in Knights of Sidonia, except Ajin isn't a mech anime. The characters look pale, and their limbs sometimes seem way to skinny, it is harder to see emotion in the characters themselves. On the up side the action scenes are amazing, the animation is free flowing that brings fight scenes to a whole other level. The particles are amazing, camera angles, the movements, the animation style is perfect for action scenes. Sadly the animation the show isn't all fight scenes, there is also a lot of dialogue and plot, real story plot.

If I had to decide whether I should watch it or something else, I would watch it. It brings forward a new kind of personality that you never see, the action scenes are great, and the storyline isn't going to be "average" or "generic". I strongly recommend that you watch Ajin at some point in time, it isn't going to be the best anime you have/will ever see, but you won't be disappointed if you watch it.

I hope that you enjoyed this week's Should I Watch and I will more than likely write another one for next week, I plan on posting at least once a week :p

I hope you have a wonderful day/night,

Should I Watch: ERASED? (Should I Watch)

Welcome back to another Should I Watch! I have selected ERASED for this post's anime of topic, and I have to say it was quiet a good choice.

Source: http://adala-news.fr/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Erased-anime-poster.png


     The show is about a unpopular manga artist who sometimes goes back in time about 1-5 minute before a death occurs. We do not know why or how he got this power but one thing is for sure, he has a very dark past. The show maintains a very deep aura with a constant presence of a lurking darkness, and it is definitely a show that will give you food for thought. If you were to compare the anime to any other previously made ones I believe NHK, Psyco-Pass, and Steins; Gate are the best representations for what you can expect for many reasons.

     The anime goes deep into people's emotions and subjects that both the anime industry and society try to avoid, ERASED will give you new food for thought and once you have watched it. As the episode continues the suspense rises, it will engross you and force you deep into your mind in a similar style as Death Note.

     The animations are done very well, besides a certain person's lips, the voice acting is amazing, storyline, they did an amazing job on everything. I can confidently say that ERASED will end up being one of this year's top anime, I suspect it will rise in popularity much like Attack on Titan.

     ERASED is definitely an anime you should watch, I can't say it enough, go watch ERASED. Unless you hate non-action psychological anime, it is definitely something you should watch.

     I hope you all enjoyed the post, if you want to recommend anything yourself or say your piece, I would be more than happy to hear what you have to say :)

Have an amazing night/day,

Should I Watch: Myriad Colors Phantom World? (Should I Watch)

Greetings everyone,

     This is the first ever 'Should I Watch' post of many to come, today's anime is Myriad Colors Phantom World. I have just finished the first episode and I would like to give you are general summary of what the anime is like and my guess of what direction it will take. There are no spoilers in the post and I would like to ask anyone who comments not to put any spoilers in their comment, thanks for listening :)

Source: https://dafunda.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Myriad-Color-Phantom-World-696x393.jpg


     Myriad Colors Phantom World is based in the near future where people now have the ability to see 'spirits' called Phantoms, the protagonist is a male high school student who is part of a school club that hunts these Phantoms (they also get paid)... ... ... I am going to cut to the chase, you don't want to read yet another boring anime review that talks about the plot and the storyline. Instead I am going to tell you firsthand what the anime is really like, not the plot or storyline.

Speaking of 'plot' the main heroine has a very large "plot" and has a very interesting habit of showing off her "plot" in a very modest way, whenever she uses her powers she 'accidently' shows off her "plot". Unlike other anime she doesn't have much of a reaction afterwards, she simply doesn't care. I have never seen that before, she doesn't tease anyone, nor does she get mad at anyone who watches. There is complete indifference in her reaction, it is very hard to explain... you will have to watch it to understand. Speaking of characters the protagonist is your average anime hero who is shy and lacks ambition (also reads a ton of books), apparently he isn't very athletic but I can't help but notice that he is extremely quick to react whenever a girl trips down the stairs. Over the course of the season he will end up gathering quiet a large harem, and turn into the powerful hero who protects everyone.

The anime's storyline will end up being your average harem anime storyline, but unlike other harem anime it makes fun of the usual clichés. Every anime cliché that you know will probably be made fun of at some point in time, it is actually quiet refreshing.

If you are looking for a unique storyline or an anime that has deep topics than this isn't the anime for you. It is easygoing and light-hearted, it isn't the kind of anime that you would binge watch, its the kind that you watch when you are feeling a little down and need a bit of a boost. Overall I recommend Myriad Colors Phantom World to those who are familiar with the harem anime stereotypes and want something to watch on the side, don't except anything great from the anime, unless you are talking about the jiggle physics.

I hope you enjoyed the first "Should I Watch" of many, if you have any question please feel free to ask. I am sorry if the review was of poor quality, this is my first one and I will only get better as time passes, don't be afraid to give me some advice on how I can improve.

I hope you have a great day/night!

To help people decide what they watch I will be writing posts called "Should I Watch", they will be a general summary of a selected anime written by yours truly and based on the first episode of the selected anime. I would also like to point out that there will be No Spoilers in these posts, so rest assured nothing will be spoiled.

Sorry for the brief post, but I wanted to give you a brief summary on what I will be posting. Plus I have a lot of anime to review for these kinds of posts since I am planning on making them for as many 2016 winter anime as possible :p

With great regards,

What Makes A Person Criminally Asymptomatic? (Psycho-Pass)

     Well readers we have quiet the mystery for this weeks post, in the show Psycho Pass there are people who are called Criminally Asymptomatic, or people who do not show symptoms of committing a crime. This is very similar to someone who committed a crime and didn't leave any evidence, but yet criminally asymptomatic people are different. The show's definition of the term is different than the direct translation of the term, other wise Shogo Makishima's would of been eligible for enforcement action when he killed Yuki in front of Akane. So today I am going to tell you my theory on what makes someone criminally asymptomatic in the show.

     So far in the two seasons Akane had only come across one person who is criminally asymptomatic which is Shogo Makishima, and Sakuya Togane. During Akane's encounter with Sakuya he was not criminally asymptomatic but during his childhood he was, which because of his unique situation he will be my prime subject for this theory. Sakuya Togane was artificially made and was able to commit crimes without an increase in his crime coefficient, but when his mother said that she was going to join the Sibyl System he attempted to kill her with a pair of scissors and then had the highest recorded crime-coefficient in history. His case was different from everyone else due to the fact that he was no longer considered criminally asymptomatic, while everyone else continued to be criminally asymptomatic despite their actions

     My theory on this matter is that for someone to be criminally asymptomatic you have to be considered mentally sane, so if you are mentally sane while being scanned you can fool the scanners and be considered criminally asymptomatic but if your not then you are considered at latent criminal. Sakuya was considered sane (minus sociopathic tendencies)  when he was a child and when he killed his mother he was no longer considered sane. Which makes perfect sense since afterwards he was obsessed with turning people into latent criminals and in the final episode of Psycho-Pass 2 he said "No one is allowed to be more clear than mother", thus proving that he is not exactly mentally stable, and could be considered a target for enforcement action.

     I hope you enjoyed this post and that you keep up with my posts in the following weeks, right now I will mainly be posting Psyco-Pass and Attack on Titan Theories but I will be moving to other subjects as time goes on. If you would like to mention your own theory than please do so, also if you would like me to write a post/theory on anything particular than please go ahead and tell me, more than likely I will post a theory on the subject. Also I hope you have an amazing day, and remember this is only AVIRGINTHEORY!

How does Sibyl System Judge A Person (Psyco-Pass)

     Well readers I promised you a theory and this week and it's here, but sadly for some of you its not an Attack On Titan theory. Some of you have probably heard of the show Psyco-Pass, its pretty much an anime drama about a futuristic Japan that is being runned by a mysterious computer system called the Sibyl that judges everyone's "psyco-pass" and decides if they are a danger to humanity. The main character of the show is Akane Tsunemori, a female inspector who is in charge of capturing criminals and caring out justice. The Theory I am about to talk about is a theory on how the Sibyl System judges a person and if you have not watched Psyco-Pass 2 (season 2) than be warned, THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD!

     After finishing the final episode of Psyco-Pass, I instantly made a connection (or I believed I did) between a person's psyco-pass and their moral certainty. As seen during the drug store incident, the train bombing, and the city wide riot there was a large influx of people with a high crime-coefficient, and during these incidents those with a high crime-coefficient also questioned their beliefs and their faith in society. This may be a coincidence but considering the fact that when someone faces a situation that can cause them to question their morals than they will begin to feel unsure of their beliefs, and will likely end up in a state of great confusion if they are pushed to far. When a person is pushed passed their limit they become unsure of everything and are very likely to become panicked and take violent courses of actions, aka it greatly increases the likelihood of someone taking criminal actions.

     As explained in the show the dominators read a person's psychological mind and decides whether or not enforcement actions is required based on a person's crime coefficient. A person's crime coefficient is based on how stable a person is mentally and how likely they are to commit a violent crime, but this can't possible be right since there are people who are criminally asymptomatic (don't show signs of crimes) are able to bypass the Sibyl System's form of justice and can never be judged as a criminal. So what is the difference between someone who is criminally asymptomatic and the average person? Shogo Makishima knew that he was committing a crime when he killed Yuki and yet he wasn't judged as a criminal; interestingly enough Makishima was completely okay with killing Yuki and was "unfazed" by his actions, there was no change in his certainty of his morals and beliefs. With this in mind the most likely reason to why Makishima's crime coefficient didn't increase was because he believed that it is okay for him to kill others, and so the Sibyl System calculated that because he believes that what he did is completely acceptable, that he did not do anything wrong. All in all my theory on how Sibyl judges a person is based on the person's certainty that their morals and actions are correct.

     I hope you enjoyed my theory and feel free to express your own theory I would love to read them! If you have not watched Psyco-Pass then I recommend that you watch it, it has as fair bit in common with the anime Death Note. And as a endnote I would like to remind you that this is only AVirginTheory!

The Human-Titans Part:4 (Attack on Titan)

     Welcome back readers, and thank you in advance for reading this post! So in my post The Creation of Titans Part:4 I mentioned that I would later write post on a theory about how Titans were originally humans, but this is not that post and you will have to wait a bit longer. In this post I will express a theory that I have on how Human-Titans became... well Human-Titans, so this will be slightly different from Part 1-3 of this series which explains the powers of the Human-Titans in the Anime; but it is still in the same category. Just like all my other posts this theory is based on the facts given to us in the anime not the manga, so please keep that in mind!

     Back to the theory; as I have mentioned earlier the theory is on how Human-Titans gained their ability, which has nothing to do with Dr. Jaeger and drugs those facts and theories are beside the point... well... sort of. We all know that Annie and Eren are both Human-Titans and that Eren was injected by a drug after the Titans' first attack on the wall, some people say that the drug that was injected in Eren made him a Human-Titan, others do not. But if we use the facts given to us the drug did not turn Eren into a Human-Titan, not for a few years anyways. He first turned into a Human-Titan after he was eaten and lost his "humanity", that's the key point, he lost his humanity. He then turned into a Titan and started killing other Titans without concisely knowing, later all he had to do was draw blood to become a Titan, but that still wasn't enough. During his stay at the Scout Regiment's headquarters he took part in experiments on how to turn into and control himself as a Titan, there they analyzed that to become a Titan he must both draw blood and have a clear goal in mind. Which was proven incorrect in episode 24 when he couldn't turn into a Titan to fight Annie, he had to lose part of himself, a part that made him "human". Which could also could also be considered losing part of his humanity, and coming back to the experiments with the Scout Regiment, all he needed was to draw blood and a goal; which he did not lose his humanity during the experiments. All these facts do is spin us in circles until we can't think anymore.

     But what if we are thinking about this too linearly, maybe the method to turn into a Titan changed, but if so when? Well when Eren was eaten by a Titan he had: drawn blood, had a goal, and lost his "humanity"; well what if this triggered his ability. Since Eren had a huge desire to kill Titans and he lost his humanity, it may heave triggered his Human-Titan ability and became a Titan with an uncontrollable desire to kill Titans. After Triggering his ability for the first time, the method to become a Titan may have changed, and with this change it became easier for him to turn into a Titan. So now that we have established a possible reason for how he triggered his Human-Titan ability, now we should figure out how he becomes a Titan after his first transformation, which is actually pretty straight forward.

     Throughout all of the episodes we know without doubt you have to draw blood to become a Titan, but what other conditions have to be met as well? From the events surrounding Human-Titans throughout the series, I am 100% sure we can rule out anything that happened during the experiments with the Scout Regiment; which leaves us with facts not theories (ironic considering the post). While Eren, Armin, and Mikasa were surrounded by soldiers after returning from there retreat during the Battle of Trost, they were fired upon; Eren then became a Titan to protect Armin and Mikasa. He obviously had a goal in mind and accomplished it, during his encounter with Annie when he was beyond the walls he also had a goal in mind, same goes for his fight with Annie within the walls. But the even with a goal he couldn't turn into a Titan during his fight with Annie, so having a goal isn't enough or is not part of the equation. If we look at these three events again Eren had a strong desire to protect others, but he did not have this same desire to protect others during his fight in the forest since the ones he wanted to protect were already dead, so a desire to protect others is not it either. Weirdly enough faith comes to mind when I think about these three events, not "faith" as in religion but faith as in belief (not religious belief), he believed that he could use his ability to complete his goal. When Mikasa, Armin and himself were about to be executed he believed that he could stop the cannonball in his Titan form, while fighting Annie in the forest he believed that he could beat her and win (he also believed it before Levi squad was destroyed). When Annie was running ramped in the city he came to believe that he had to fight her and win; when Eren was supposed to carry the boulder and seal the hole in the wall, he believed that he was capable of doing it (he wavered but still came through). Funny enough even though I said we can completely disregard the experiments with the Scout Regiment, when Eren was unsure that he could turn into a Titan he didn't, but afterwards when picked up the spoon his arm turned into a Titan's arm (He knew/believed that he could pick up the spoon). So if my theory that you have to believe that you are able to succeed and draw blood to turn into a Titan is true, than every other Human-Titan out there follows the same rules.

   All in all we have a theory for how Human-Titans became Human-Titans and we know how Human-Titans change forms. To sum up the theory the Human-Titan must draw blood and lose their humanity to unlock their ability to become a Titan, and after unlocking it they must draw blood and believe in their ability to accomplish their goal in order to turn into a Titan. I find the second part quiet funny since it sounds like a cheap motivational slogan that your superior at work would say to new employees, or a principle would say to the students during an assembly. I hope you enjoyed this week's theory and I hope you will continue to read future posts on my blog, it doesn't feel right saying this but if you could recommend my blog to your friends it would really help (helps more than you know). Also if you would like to leave a comment about anything down below feel free, you don't even need an account, also I check my blog for comments almost everyday so if you would like to ask me anything I will be able to respond quiet quickly. I hope you enjoyed this week's post and remember this is only AVirginTheory!

Titan Intelligence Part:1 (Attack on Titan)

     Welcome Readers to another AOT post, this is actually a topic I have had in the back of my mind for the longest time, and is way overdue for posting. You can probably guess what it is, Titan Intelligence! What do we really know about the Intelligence of Titans? A lot more than you will probably think, and they are actually a lot smarter than you would think as well, or at least their instincts are a lot more powerful than you would think. So my theory is that a Titan's intelligence is a bit smarter than your run-of-the-mill zombie, and have much more powerful instincts.

     We all know that Titans can "sense" humans and will try to eat them at all costs, that is the first sign of intelligence; they eat humans. They do not need to eat humans but they do anyways, on top of that they expressed a variety of ways to kill humans; not just a few. In episode 1 the Titan who killed Eren's mother, first snapped her spine before consuming her; which shows a basic understanding of killing. A larger understanding that you would have just from instinct, also throughout the series people were torn apart by Titans farther proving that they are aware of different methods to kill humans, not to mention that they are able to restrain themselves from crushing their victims before eating them. During the second attack on the walls when the trainees were trying to retake the command center, they lowered themselves down an elevator and into a group of Titans, but the Titans neither reacted right away nor try to attack the group when they became aware. They held back and moved forward cautiously instead of charging at the group, an action that over powers instinct without a doubt. With these facts it is clear that Titans are capable of intelligent thought and are able to overpower their instinct, the first sign of intelligence.

     The Titans also have social awareness, a very weak awareness but they are still aware. Titans seem to be able to tell the difference between each other, and are aware that they are friends not enemies, which is why they never challenge each other. Many species will come into conflict with each other and will often fight each other over food, but Titans don't they don't fight one another over humans nor for proving superiority, something that takes a social awareness to overcome. Also when Eren was in Titan form the Titans knew that he was not one of them and attacked him, they knew that Eren was not one of them even though he looked the same. The Titans attacked him with all their might, there was no sign of confusion nor fight amounts each other during the situation, the Titans... understood that he was a powerful enemy. Instead of going after the helpless prey, they went after who they thought was a threat, they were able to understand the situation. These are some very interesting facts that prove that Titans have a basic intelligence of social awareness and social understanding, something that can change the entire ball game when it comes to how we think of Titans.

     With the evidence that I listed we are able to determine that Titans are capable of basic intelligence, and are able to overpower their instincts when they want; not something that can be ignored. I hope you enjoyed the theory and if you would like to express your own theory or add onto mine feel free, you can even mention something that is unrelated to the theory if you would like. But remember this is only A Virgin Theory!

The Problem with Anime in North America (Virgin Thought)

     Greeting Readers, do I have a surprise for you! Did you know that the worst country to watch Anime in is anywhere besides Japan? And I do not mean that it sucks in terms of quality or language, because that's not why it sucks, its because of popularity of Anime series. Many of you have probably scratched your heads wondering why one of your favorite anime never produced a second volume, its because of the rating system for anime. In Japan they decide which anime will continue to be produced and which anime will be cancelled, they what happens to an anime based on the public's rating of the show. This is normal and makes total sense, but here's the catch, the only ratings that they care about are the rating in Japan.

     If 100,000 people watch the anime in Japan and 5 million in North America, then they will cancel the Anime because the show doesn't have enough watchers in Japan. If 3 million people watch the anime in Japan and only 100,00 people watch it in North America, the anime continues to be produced. Seems pretty logical right? Not for the people in North America, they get to sit on their hands wishing that they could influence the companies decisions on whether or not to cancel an anime. This is the problem with watching Anime in North America, they have no influence over what shows become popular because they don't live in Japan. The system does make sense thou, why would you continue to make a show that is not popular in your country so the people in other countries can enjoy it. Your profits would take a huge hit, due to translations, distribution, international advertising; it would cost a lot of money. Which is why it sucks watching anime if you are from North America, your support has literally no affect on the ratings of the anime, and you just have to hope that its also popular in Japan.

     I know this is a short post, but I don't have a lot of time on my hands and I wanted to do something different than a post on Attack on Titan. Also this is not a Theory, it is a Virgin Thought, which I hope you enjoyed. Anyways I hope you will read next week's post, until than!

The Creation of Titans Part:4 (Attack on Titan)

     Well readers its time for the final part of this series, the conclusion. If you have not read any of the parts in this series of posts, I recommend that you do, you can find links to the posts under the List of Posts tab on my blog. But back on point, I have expressed three likely ways for the creation of Human-Titans: Evolution, Creationism (science and religion), and Natural Ability. I have explained these theories and know it is final time to decide what theory is the most likely cause for the creation of Human-Titans.

     Evolution, the part 1 of the series. Although in modern day science it is considered the reason of human creation, it is not very likely to be true in the anime. Of course anime has a different set of logic than real life, but there is practically no evidence of Titans actually evolving in the anime. Despite mankind being trapped behind a set of walls, Armin had a book about the outside world describing the different climates and environments around the world, with no mention of a giant human like species, so we can only assume that they were not around long enough for natural evulsion. But of course this does not mean that Evolution may not be the cause of Titan existence, since Titans could have been introduced to mankind through what ever method possible.

     Creationism, the opposite of Evolution, which was explained in part 2. When I say Creationism I do not only mean creation by God(s), but also by science. even though there is a lack of evidence on this theory, it is still very likely for Titans to have been created by creationism. It has been expressed that Titans came into existence out of nowhere and attempted to destroy humanity, it almost seems like creationism is the answer. But due to the complete lack of evidence that there is a higher power in the anime, Titans could of been created by humans. And if Titans were created by humans, the culprits lacked all ability to execute plans, since there is literally no logic behind why or how they could of executed a plan to destroy humanity. Funny, if Titans were created by mad scientists, I wonder what their goal was because I am pretty sure things didn't go to plan.

     Natural Ability, the theory that Humans and Titans are the same. The theory came to me out of the blue and was expressed in part 3, and somehow it seems to keep up with Evolution and Creationism. If some humans contained the ability to become Titans, than Titans were probably originally humans. Which lost control of themselves when turning into Titans, as we have seen Eren lose control of himself twice while being a Titan. But again there is a complete lack of solid proof, since this theory is mainly based on connecting questions instead of hard evidence (example: Why is it illegal to be interested in the world outside of the walls? Why is the military setup in a fashion to discourage people to join the Survey Corps?). Anyways the theory is far from being completed.

     Overall between these three theories I believe that Evolution is considered the least likely theory on the Creation of Titans, due a complete lack of evidence and lack of possible connections that could be slightly related. Funny enough Creationism takes First Place for being the most likely theory, since there is a number of observations that could be made to support this theory, and the likely possibility that the answer could be closely related to Creationism (science or God(s)). The reason why I placed Natural Ability second is because there is a lack of evidence, there are unlimited possibilities for branching theories, and because the theory is mainly based on connecting the dots. It is true that if you connect the dots correctly than you will find the answer, but in this case the theory is under-developed and can easily be disproved. None the less I will end up digging Deeper into this theory, but until than it seems that Creationism is the most likely answer for our question; How were Titans Created? I hope you enjoyed the series, and I will be making a special page for this series that you will be able to find on the list of tabs at the top of the page, even though the page will not be ready by the time you read this post, it will be ready shortly after. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading this series, and remember they are only VirginTheories!

The Creation of Titans Part:3 (Attack on Titan)

     So readers the time has final come for Part:3, the final post for this series that explains a theory. There will be a Part:4, but the part will contain the summing up of all the parts and I will explain the most likely theory for the creation of Titans and why I believe that it is the most likely reason. Anyways, in Part:1 I theorized the creation of Titans through Evolution, and in Part:2 I theorized the creation of Titans through Creationism (Science and Higher Beings); and now in Part:3 I shall explain the creation of Titans through Natural Ability! You will probably think that I am crazy since, it contains next to no science and only observations, and because it throws a lot of logic out the window. But the Creation of Titans through Natural Ability seems more likely than you think!

     A slightly unrelated question kept on pestering me throughout the previous two parts: If this theory is true, how were Human-Titans created? Which after some thought the most likely answer was that they were originally humans, I know that this theory has been probed a lot on the internet but I believe I can give a little depth and shine some light on the theory. We all know that Eren, Annie, and others (will not be mentioned due to spoilers) have the ability to become a Titan; so far the post popular theory on the topic is that they were given a drug that turned them into Human-Titans, but what if they already had the power to become a Human-Titan. If they all inherited the ability to become a Human-Titan than one or both of their parents are also Human-Titans. When Eren first turned into a Human-Titan he was on the brink of death and the first few times he turned he was unable to control himself and acted like a regular Titan. So in theory Titans are people who have the ability to become a Titan and lost control, making them unable to turn back; and acting on instinct instead of thought. I don't exactly know if the limitations of Human-Titans in Titan form in terms of survival, but we can also assume that they do not age, nor need food and water.

     I am sorry for going off topic on this Part but I believe that I should explain the entire theory and branches to make sure I don't accidently make the theory too confusing. Anyways, in an early episode of the anime it was explained that Titans suddenly appeared and humanity lost almost all knowledge of the outside world when they entered the walls, so Human-Titans and Humans could have been living side-by-side until some sort of incident occurred that forced a large amount of Human-Titans to turn into Titans. I am not sure what the incident may have been, but my best guess is an attempted genocide to kill all Human-Titans, but what ever the reason, the result was a extremely large portion of Human-Titans turning into Titans and losing control. With hundred of thousands maybe even hundreds of millions of Human-Titans losing control and killing every human they see, the human populace had to leave everything behind and run to safety. In all the confusion it would be safe to say that a few Human-Titans secretly disguised themselves and migrated behind the walls with the other refugees. And as a result they would be forced to hide their true identities in fear of the deaths of themselves and their families, which would result in Eren and others living behind the walls.

     I hope you enjoyed part 3 of the series, I know that this part was a bit shorter and moved off topic, but I believe that The Creation of Titans Through Natural Ability was a very important theory to discuss even though it went off topic. I will be making a post on this theory and how (if its true) could of shaped the storyline and lore of the anime, also the post will not be considered a part of this theory incase your wondering. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed Part:3 of the series and the next part, Part:4, will be the summing up of the series and my thoughts on what is the most likely theory on the Creation of Titans. But until then this is only AVirginTheory!

The Creation of Titans Part:2 (Attack on Titan)

      Greetings readers do I have a surprise for you! Just so you know part two isn't actually the surprise, as you know in the last part I talked about Evolution, and how it could of been the cause of Titan creation. Well Part 2: Creationism is actually the part that I was looking forward to the most, surprised? I don't want to bash on either Creationism or Evolution, but when I said creationism, I meant both through God(s) and Science. The creation of Titans through science is the one idea that can continuously be branched, with unlimited possibilities!

     But First I should talk about the creation of Titans through creation of God(s), and then I will move on to Titan creation through Science. In the Anime religion plays a huge role in politics with both the government and the military, but surprisingly their is only one religion, The Wall Cult. Or at least that seems to be it's name on the internet, it's not surprising that there is only one religion due to the fact that there is only around 1 million (estimate) people within the walls. But the religion/cult gives no explanation for why their are Titans only the wall, which is said to protect mankind. Anyways for the theory lets say that there is a god, and the god decided to create Titans through whatever method, and released them on the earth. Which in the anime it did say that Titans suddenly appeared out of no where without any warning what so ever, and the Titans killed most of the human population. And since the Titans only targeted humans and not anything else we can say that they were created to exterminate humans. So taking the facts that Titans only kill humans and that they suddenly appeared, we can pretty much assume that this would be a pretty reasonable theory for the creation of Titans.

     Now on to my favorite part! What if the Titans were created through science? Well if that is the case then , who created them? Not the government, Never (sarcasm)! If Titans were created by the government within the walls than they were suffering from insanity and were not very bright, the Titans literally annulated the human race and confined the survivors within the walls, there was literally nothing to gain from the act. Which if the government did create Titans than they must have also created human-titans as well, which did destroy three portions of the walls, wait was their plan to exterminate the human race? If they created Titans why didn't they also release them inside the walls as well, or at least left the gate open when they released the Titans? Probably because they are not the cause of Titan creation, which leaves us to the "other kingdom", which would have the same story. Exterminate the human race, confine us within a group of walls which the hybrids that we have also created can destroy, celebrate our success in destroying humanity. This sounds just as likely as the first, not very likely, its also the same story for every country. And it probably wasn't the work of a secret society... or at least a sane secret society, since their goals would probably be control the world or exterminate the human race... maybe it was a secret society.

     So under the impression that it was a secret society they would have to be wealthy, powerful, and smart; which they could than successfully research, create and release Titans from various locations around the world in a controlled manor. This would also explain Dr. Jaeger's incredible insight about the movements of Titans; but again moving on. If it wasn't a government nor a secret society, than maybe an alien civilization, and when I say alien I mean both foreign or "alien" civilization. But they would have to live off world, so the possibilities are endless and also very likely, since they could both monitor and protect themselves from Titans. Which the Titans would be able to transported to earth through pretty much any logical method, so if Titans were not originally from earth than there are an unlimited amount of possibilities for how they got their.

     Thank you for reading Part: 2 of this three(four?) part series of The Creation of Titans, I know that the final part of this post was a bit rushed but, it isn't really about how Titans were created. The funny thing is that Titans migrating to earth/where the anime takes place was supposed to be its own part but another possible theory on the Creations of Titans accord to me while writing Part: 3. So my next Part (Part: 3) will be about Titans through Natural Ability! Yes it sounds confusing but I am not sure what would be the best way to describe it, but I promise you it will be an Amazing Part THAT WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD! Also if you would like to tell me your own thoughts please feel free to say them in the comments below, it really pains me to say this but I would really appreciate it if you would write a comment since it really helps out my blog. As a little incentive, if 10 people comment on my blog I will release a post about the meaning behind my name, so until then this is only AVirginTheory!

The Creation of Titans Part:1 (Attack on Titan)

     Welcome readers to my first post on my theories on The Creation of Titans! If you read part 0 of this series (Is that what its called?) than you will know that I am trying to find out how Titans were created, if not now you know. I am also making a quick note stating that These Theories Apply to the Anime Not The Manga so if you want to comment on the post than please do not mention spoilers, I would really appreciate it! But back to the topic on hand! This post will be focused on the likelihood of Titan Evolution, and the next post will be about the likelihood of Creationism (through science or not). Yes I am bring up the age old argument of Evolution vs. Creationism, now before you pick sides first read Part:1 and Part:2 (which will be out next week), I would really appreciate it. Also A Quick Warning: I will be using terms and explanations that may be foreign to you, but I will try my best use them as little as possible, also if you are confused about anything feel free to ask!

     Now that I have finished the introduction I can start talking about my theories on Titan Evolution, but what is Evolution? Well readers the theory of evolution was made famous by Charles Darwin and expresses that life evolved through natural selection (picking a mate to reproduce with based on traits). How does this apply to Titans? Well if you ever thought about what gave Titans their physical traits, than you come to believe that Titans inherited those traits overtime. If one of mankind's ancestors created a separate branch of hominids that had carnivore traits and a "conscience" than the hominid specie would eventually evolve through natural selection, picking physical traits like size, and strength; which would give Titans the strength and size you see in the Anime. The show explained that the Titans do not need to eat, drink, or have bowel movements, these traits would also come from another part of natural selection.

     If the hominid Titans (that's what I'm going to call them for now) were living in a unfriendly environment for life, than they would need these select traits. Natural Selection strikes again! Naturally the hominid Titans would be mating with those who could preserve food and water in their bodies, and those who's bodies could use it efficiently, which would give them the natural ability to go long periods of time without food or water. With hominid Titans with negative traits dying off the ones with positive traits live on (The strong survive and the weak die), Titans as a species become genetically stronger and pass on these traits to the next generations. The show expressed that the Titans do not reproduce, but Titans may not reproduce through traditional methods, it is highly possible that they are asexual (reproduce without a partner) since there is only one gender of Titans (which is Titan).

     To sum up what we have so far (which is a fair bit), Titans originally a branch of hominid that developed their physical traits through natural selection and also developed their lack of need for food and water through natural selection due to their environment, which it is also highly likely that Titans are also asexual. What we have not explained yet is their ability to regenerate, this really stumped me, since I don't believe it is from rapid cell generation. Rapid cell reproduction is when your cells reproduce extremely fast, this is usually due to a cellular mutation, which is very similar to cancer. Sounds like it could be the answer, but it isn't. With rapid cellular reproduction it could quickly heal any wound, but your cells shouldn't stop reproducing, they should continue to reproduce without end and would quickly lead to the deformity of Titans followed by death. Which is the part that stumps me, but we can probably assume that Titans have something similar to rapid cell reproduction.

     So overall Titans came to be due to evolution, mainly due to natural selection due to their environment, and their regenerative ability is similar to rapid cellular generation. I hope you liked the post and also Part:1 on the Creation of Titans, this part explored the possibility of evolution and next week I will be exploring the possibility of Creationism (through scientific creation and spiritual). Also I would really like to hear some of your theories on the creation of titans but please do not add any spoilers from the manga, Thank You! I hope you will stock around for part: 2 which is coming out next week, and remember this is only a Virgin Theory!

The Creation of Titans Part:0 (Attack on Titan)

     Greetings readers, the VirginTheory is back! But instead of another theory I will present to you my theories on THE CREATION OF TITANS! Unlike my other posts this will be a three (maybe four?) post series on the development of my theories on the creation of Titans, like always each part will contain one MAJOR theory, with the side of a few minor theories. Unlike my other posts (minus  The Human-Titans Part: 2.1) I will actually apply some real life science to the development of my theories, and will make base my theories on my findings. Which means: unlike my other theories where my theories were mainly based off of observations, these theories will be based off of both observations and scientific knowledge. Since this is only an introductory post, Part:1 will be posted Monday at 7:00AM (EST), with the latest Part being posted every week at 7:00AM (EST). I hope you read my posts and remember these will only be VirginTheories!

The Human-Titans Part: 3 (Attack on Titan)

     Knock, Knock. Who's there? Mutations. Mutations Who? Titan Mutations! ... Yes I know it was a bad joke, but it follows the theme of this weeks post, The Human-Titans Part: 3, todays topic Titan Mutations. Now before you say that I have been following this topic in all these posts, I will be explaining my theories on Titan abilities being transferred to Human-Titans in their Human Form. For example Annie is able to create a crystal cocoon in both Human and Titan form, and Eren's crazy fast regenerative ability. Like these powers/mutations I believe that there are other abilities that Human-Titans can use in both Titan and Human form.

     Someone on Googala's Grumbles (They did not give a name) made notice that Titans are pretty much immortal and that it could very well be possible for the Human side of the Human-Titan to also be nearly immortal when they are in human form, particularly the aging process. In the anime you see the Titans physical appearance range from many different ages, so in short I don't think it is possible for the Human-Titan to have a short aging process; but what I did notice is that the physical appearance of the Titan does not represent the physical state of the Titan itself. Even thou the Titans may range in age, their abilities are not limited from it, all of the Titans are just as deadly and their physical abilities are not affected by the aging process. It could very well be the same story for when the Human-Titan is in their human form, they will not feel the affects of aging and will always be at their peek performance as time goes by.

     Since Annie can create a hardened shell around her body while in human form than it is more than likely that all of the other Human-Titans can use their "special" abilities while in human form. This would include the Titan attracting scream that Annie used in the forest, although the scream may have only been possible because of the physical differences in vocal abilities. I know that this was a very short blog post but school has started for me, and I am currently trying to get ahead of my school work so I can spend more time writing posts, all in all, keep smiling!

What Happended to Hoshijiro? (Knights of Sidonia)

     For the past two weeks I have been watching an anime on Netflix called Knights of Sidonia, which by the way is a very well produced anime; it is based on the manga but my theories will be based off the anime and NOT the manga. SPOILER WARNING for those who have not finished watching the first season of the anime; in the final scene of the show the resurrected Hoshijiro has disappeared from her containment cell leaving a name written on the wall, "Tanikaze". I will be discussing different theories on where she has disappeared to, and I will try not to get to off topic while writing this post.

     My first theory is that when Tanikaze destroyed the Gauna-Grade unit 702 (which is where the replicated Hoshijiro originated from), that the replicated Hoshijiro was also destroyed due to the fact that the Gauna core was destroyed. This is the most  probable theory that I have since I don't believe that she has the ability to teleport, nor do I think that the ERD scientist unknowingly freed Hoshijiro. This theory can easily be disproved by the fact that guanas like to explode after the core is destroyed, which there was no guana residue left over from when/if Hoshijiro exploded. Unless of course it was destroyed or removed by a self-cleaning system in the cell, which is also highly unlikely since it was a containment cell for scientific observations, which is nearly imposible since Tanikaze's name was written on the wall. Now onto my second theory on what happened to Hoshijiro, which it the second most likely theory.

     What is Hoshijiro was secretly removed from the containment cell by the Immortal Council, it is highly possible since the ERD scientist may have been indisposed at the time due to the zero gravity warnings and the blackout warnings. This would give the Immortal council and their closest men ample opportunity to sneak Hoshijiro out and into a secure facility that is completely under their control. They would have the required security to get around the alarm systems and have access to every passageway in the ship, they seem to be keeping a immortal clone a secret from everyone so why not hide a resurrected person/guana. Which by the way sorry for going off topic here to express an observation, but I wanted to point out that the Immortal council is the Sidonian government that is secretly immortal, and makes military decisions. I would also like to point out that they are restricting critical information from the public and military, and that they follow my favorite saying about governments in TV shows, "The government is a bunch of power mongrels that oppress the people and do not have the people's best interest in mind".

     While we are back on track I want to talk about my third most likely theory; teleportation, yes I said teleportation. I don't believe that Hoshijiro has the ability to teleport, but I do believe that the guana is being controlled by someone/something that has the ability to teleport a guana from its current location to a already designated location (like teleporters in Halo). This would explain how she escaped and why, which this theory is backed up with indirect observational facts instead of straight up facts from the show. The guana have the ability to shape-shift into what ever they'd like, and they have the ability to merge together into super guanas, last but not least they display a large amount of intelligence. And with all intelligence comes power, which if you are talking about a highly sophisticated powerful space aliens with an amazing ability to kill their enemies, and coordinate themselves to create ultra powerful versions of themselves. So considering the facts I believe that it is safe to assume that there is a super guana that is made up of thousands of other guanas, and with the thousands of guanas it has obtained unimaginable abilities, for example forced teleportation.

     I know that the third theory that I have discussed is mainly based on indirect evidence, but I can't really explain why Hoshijiro disappeared unless if it was against her will, and also in TV shows and movies the enemy is usually controlled by a ultra powerful enemy that has unimaginable powers. I hope that you enjoyed my theories on what happened to Hoshijiro, and feel free to tell me your opinion on my theories, or express your own. If you have not watched Knights of Sidonia than I recommend that you watch it (its only on Netflix in North America)! And as for the rest of my theories they are only Virgin Theories!

Where do Titans come from? Part:1(Attack on Titan)

     Many people wonder where the Titans come from and many different theories are created as a result, some people believe that Titans were created by Dr. Jaeger, and other people believe that Titans were created by a futuristic society. Well here's a fun fact; I'm inclined to believe that the Titans are actually creations of the government, in all of my experiences: reading books, watching TV, and playing videogames; the government in Attack on Titan is one of the most shifty governments I have come across. Its a military-driven monarchy with a highly corrupt administration that is willing to sacrifice 20% of the human population for an increased chance of survival, not only that but everyone seems content and happy with everything and feel that they have a free society, not to mention that certain: opinions, books, stories, beliefs, and interests are considered illegal by the government and will be enforced by the military itself. One last thing, there is no police force besides an internal military-police regiment; everything is controlled by the administration and enforced by the military at will. Now that I have finished ripping on the government, I would like to get back to my theory where Titans are creations of the government.

     Many people have expressed the opinion that Dr. Jaeger works for a secret science society which created Titans, others have the opinion that the Titans were created by a rival kingdom and used as a weapon. You can link these two opinions together and say that Dr. Jaeger is from a rival kingdom and created the Titans to kill the kingdom in the show, which seems very unlikely since why would Dr. Jaeger be inside the walls if the Titans were to destroy them and eat everyone inside? Probably because it would make him an evil mastermind that has a fetish to watch people be eating by giant naked Titans (Joke). If we take my theory on Dr. Jaeger and the basement (Part:2), than Dr. Jaeger did not create the Titans but probably did come from a futuristic society. We add this to my rant on how the government is a shifty government that is secretly repressing its people, than we are left with one result Dr. Jaeger, the government, and the Titans are all connected with each other.

     If Dr. Jaeger is only within the walls to observe, the Titans are creations of a futuristic society, and the government is with holding information from the people; than everything is actually a weapons experiment created by the government to test out their Titan creations. And no I'm not talking about the government within the walls, I\m talking about the government that Dr. Jaeger works for. I am going to try to explain everything in the least confusing way I can.

     The government created a biological weapon called Titans, they wanted to test their weapon before using it in the field, so they built a set of walls and created a fiction reality. After everything was setup and prepared they collected a huge population of people and integrated them with the fictional reality (made them believe that it was real), with the people who have been integrated they added observers to observe the Titans and society within the walls (Dr. Jaeger and others). After 100 years since the experiment began the government created a new version of the Titans called Human-Titans, the observers selected healthy children to be test subjects of the new version of Titans. The selected children were injected with the new weapon and became Human-Titans, which are being observed by the government for stability and lethality.

     I hope you enjoyed this crazy theory that I created, if you want to add anything to this theory or express your own than feel free to do it in the comments below. Even though this is a theory that I have created, I may not believe that it is true. I'm a fun-theorist, I mess around with theories and never expect them to be true or not, I create theories for the enjoyment of those who will listen to them. And I hope you enjoy my theories, even id you don't stay tuned to A Virgin Theory!

Dr. Jaeger and the Basement Part: 2 (Attack on Titan)

     For this weeks post I have decided to revisit the theories about Dr. Jaeger and the basement! My original theory explained that Dr. Jaeger did not actually come from within the walls and came from somewhere else, and that his study is full of information instead of advanced technology. My new theory is a more refined version of my original one, many people have said that the Titans were created by another kingdom and went out of control and Dr. Jaeger is from the other kingdom. After a debate with myself I came to one conclusion, there maybe another kingdom that they were at war with but they did not create the Titans. I have no idea where the Titans came from but I don't believe that they could of been created by a rival kingdom with a similar level of technology, but that is beside the point. From what we can guess Dr. Jaeger is from another kingdom and his basement provides the answers to the past, present, and future; his basement would be unable to hold crazy futuristic technology.

     If Dr. Jaeger is from another kingdom than he is either a: renegade who escaped where he came from, a saboteur who is supposed to destroy the kingdom from the inside, or an observer who is supposed to watch and observe what is happening.  If Dr. Jaeger is a renegade than his basement may hold the secrets to their survival, this is the #1 opinion from what I can tell and is deeply supported, but is not what I think. Some people have been hinting that Dr. Jaeger is actually a saboteur from another kingdom, which I find highly unlikely due to the fact that he is highly praised by everyone in the early episodes, which leads to the third and final possibility: he is an observer. This is what I believe which can be supported with evidence (but its still a theory), if Dr. Jaeger was an observer he would have to put himself in a position where he is able to observe at the highest degree, and still remain unimportant and unsuspected, he would have to integrate with the locals and maintain a job with lots of power and knowledge. Maybe a doctor?

      Doctors are important figures of society that usually grouped with everyone else, the job also gives you a great amount of power and will allow you to have a large amount of insight to peoples personal affaires. This would be the perfect job for someone who is observing a large population for a very, very, very long time. Which brings up the question where did Dr. Jaeger come from? Obviously another population of humans but my guess is... space, yay I said it space, this is not one of my most crazy ideas. I have to admit that the location of the other population seems very unlikely, but we need a society that can mask itself from the Titans and other human populations and still contain an abnormal amount of futuristic technology... so space. It falls in line with everything that we know so far: the Titans came to be through abnormal circumstances, Dr. Jaeger has an extensive amount of knowledge about what is happening and why, Human-Titans exist, if the event occurs that mankind final goes beyond the walls that they won't end up finding a whole bunch of scientist in suits. Also there seems to be a large amount of discretion from Dr. Jaeger and the other "kingdom", I hope that you enjoyed this theory and that you will continue reading my theories, also feel free to add your opinion or theory in the comments below. One last thing, this is only A Virgin Theory!
