Actually, do we know if they built the walls by themselves? Because I find it unrealistic that those people managed to buy build these walls. Youīd need either advanced technology or a near-eternal amount of time to build these mega-structures. Probably even both. I k now, itīs a fantasy-anime, but still ... the matter of transporting all the necessary material in itself seems like an un-overcome-able problem. But I have some idea what it could be.

Thereīs also that lightning that occurred, leaving the Colossal Titan. I assume that soldiers are watching the outside from the top of the walls, so that monster couldnīt have approached the wall unseen. Even if no guards were on the wall, had that Titan walked there, everybody could have felt the earthquakes resulting from his steps. So I agree with Buff that the Colossal Titan arrived at the wall via that lightning. That might seem like answering it all. But: Why appear outside the wall and not inside?

My personal take on answering that lies in the specific and repeated choice of words in this first episode: Human beings living inside the walls like "livestock".
I havenīt yet thought about it in detail, but in my opinion the mystery to it all lies in aliens. Yes, lol. Maybe thatīs me projecting my wishes since I love Gantz, but Iīve got the impression that the whole thing, the way people live and all, is set up by extraterrestrial beings, keeping human beings as exactly that: livestock. Thereīs also the fact that all those Titans look like slightly defomred humans themselves. So thereīs also some kind of connection.
So, if I had to make a guess at this point: Superior alien lifeforms are carrying out a large-scale experiment, involving the obervation of behavior and the genetic manufacturing and altering of alien species (in that case: human beings).

Ok, no ill stop. too much speculation after just one ep

youīd need years of training, most likely killing yourself in the process from falling from high above. :/
