Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
so is this one of the few anime where most of the characters are explicitly european? I'm going by people's names here

I think it's meant to take place in Germany.
Mikasa being one of the last Asians is actually a plot point.

Does titties and ass disgust you?

Shows where people get eaten by giant creatures isn't disgusting a girls ass is!

Portrayals of nudity and sexuality aren't automatically gross. It's when it crosses into the gross, obsessive, voyeuristic, otaku-bait, completely-out-of-context territory that is prevalent in an alarming quantity of media coming from Japan these days that it becomes disgusting. Why do the costumes for the main female characters just barely cover their private parts? Because they're pandering to the smarmy, basement-dwelling otaku who'll buy their ridiculously-overpriced Blu-rays, that's why. It doesn't help that all of these characters are children in virtual stripper outfits. The animation, from what I saw, was pretty cool. It's a shame that they have to finance it by including imagery that could be considered child pornography if it were live action.

So they can make 3D movement gear but not telephones? What about carrier pigeons?
Telephones require an infrastructure, which obviously doesn't exist outside the walls. Carrier pigeons need to be trained to travel to locations, they can't find new ones on their own (in terms of communication).
 
How're they supposed to maintain phone lines with giant naked dude running this way and that trying to eat everyone?

Even if they can't use phone lines how do you explain not using animals for communication? Ya know, something that has been around for thousands of years.

You said that there might be some advanced civilization on an island. They wouldn't have invented cell phones? Or been smart enough to figure out a way to communicate with humans on land? I just find this all hard to believe but then again, it's just an anime..
