Shingeki No Kyojin German influence?

[Desiigner]

[FONT=Cambria, serif]Anyone notice how they sing German in the Opening?
The first sentence is: "Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger." In English that means: "They are the food and we are the hunters." Also a lot of characters have German names, like: Franz, Armin, Reiner Braun, Berthold, Jäger/Jaeger, etc.
So my question is, shall the race in SnK represent the Germans? What are your thoughts about this?[/FONT]

[FONT=Cambria, serif]Yeah, I know. Japanese people really think that Germany is a 'cool' country, do they?[/FONT]

It's heavily influenced by medieval Germany, but there is only one Half-Asian left, and that is Mikasa if I'm not mistaken.

That wasnt a spoiler man, I meant the german influence ended up being a good choice for the series.

If anything Gundam influence is probably the biggest reason for AOT success.
