With giant spiked net cannons to tangle the giants up and leave them vulnerable.
Really, even with their hyper regeneration and only 1 weak spot, the giants should have been easy pickings for the modern militaries of Earth. But I expect more about what the heck happened will be revealed later.

Napalm, is there anything it can't do?

They didn't show up on modern earth though. By the looks of it, the titans showed up during a rennaissence / late middle ages-esque period. The current setting is something like industrial revolution / early 20th century.
If it were modern earth, there would have been evidence of structures and old lore and old "legends" about aircraft and what not.

That might be because it's not hitting them in the "core" (that bundle of nerves / tissue / whatever at the back of the neck). If the shell was designed to penetrate the target before detonating (like a bolter shell), it would certainly be more effective.

I was under the impression they appeared in the 1900s and humanity quickly regressed technologically because of the devastation.
I think the Titans were some WW2 super soldier experiment gone wrong.
Nazis are probably involved. Annie is blond, coincidence I think not!

Nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
On a side note, I watched the first two episodes of Fam, the silver wing. I think their 3d models/2d animation combo has improved, and I'm 90% sure that one of those ships has a giant chainsaw for a prow.

Well, I have seen many anime endings today but Nobunagun...
Spoiler:
FINALLY! So many animes just keep teasing and teasing and nothing happen,s but this fighting anime, that was filled with pretty much only laughs and cool action with loads of DAKKA is the one that ends beautifully with the 2 MCs kissing and the guy confessing his love.
BRING THE NEXT SEASON, I SAY!

I'm just waiting for the last episode of Gundpla Builders like everyone else, to wrap up this season. While I wait for my next shows to premier I am watching Ghost Hunt, its just ok. I've been meaning to start the long journey that is Naruto. I do enjoy dubs more than subs when I can help it. Is the dub as unbearable as people say? I heard there was a remake of the dub? Or are both just so awful that I should watch it subbed?

Not sure where I've seen that before but its very cute.
So apparently I'd rather attempt to develop croquette technology and rewatch Kill la Kill while waiting for Love Live season 2 rather than start a series in my backlog. At least I know what I'll be doing over the weekend.

Those questions only lead to spoilers! Alvis is still great, and has gotten a bit of personality too in fam. I never understood why people hated fam so much.

Ever since Eye Shield 21 I've been a sports anime fan. It's ridiculous how fun they are. I'm eagerly awaiting for 2 this next season, 1 about handball and a tennis one. Those 2 I'm really gonna give them a try.
Oh, and screw you and your Psycho Pass... I'm loving every single minute of it and It's harder and harder to resist the call of watching all the remaining eps in a single night
Edit: aaaand yet another anime that shows me artists are very, very, very scary people...
