Smaller? You'd think being able to eat properly and not having to fight or patrol constantly would have her put on a little weight.

It's more that her core was making her larger for combat reasons, and is now returning her to a more normal size for her age and gender and using the resources elsewhere instead.
Shorter, mostly, rather than thinner, i believe?

Not believing it until it's mentioned in show. I think the artists have a new template they were told to use, but didn't want to edit older shows.

Huh. Okay. Northern surburbs of Sydney just has a lot of tall people I guess.

Well it'll be okay, Anna has been slowly shrinking in height since the end of Alaska. Really fast at first and slower now, at the current rate, she'll be Setsuna sized by the end of Year 3.

Not joking. It's not something that's been relevant so far in the quest so it hasn't been mentioned.

It's something that's scheduled to come up later during 'your' arc. MC asks why you seem shorter, meh, been happening since Alaska *omnious music plays* during conversation cryptic backstory hints are dropped etc.

The UN theorised that you're resetting to your biological age, they don't know for sure though.

Odds it's never explained in the main show, but said explaination shows up in almost Every suplimentary/spin off thingy Anna appears in? (Excluding those where doing so makes no sense, of course.)

...

Well, it's what I'd do if the plot didn't require otherwise :D
 
Well having caught up on that side thread (as I've not gotten there with my detailed reading of this thread no wonder I had no idea), I have to ask?


Is she reverting to her temporal age, that is how she should look at 15/16, or her biological age of when the suit started to substitute new replacement parts? (9/10/11?)

Just wondering, as the idea of Anna turning into a broken Loli just as her social skills start to improve is weird.
 
Anna's going her age.
She'll be Setsuna sized (the shortest person in the anime) by 3rd year and it's likely to be slowing down before then so that she's at Shuri's height.
My estimation atm: Setsuna's around 150 cm, while Anna's 200 cm+.
(5' for Setsu and 6'6" for Anna for you non-metric using savages. :V)

So she's getting younger as they're getting older.

Because 5' at 16 is DREADFULLY short in Canada. That's what I'd expect someone who's 12-15 to be. And if she's that short when she's 19 (third year) then something's wrong.

nonono, Avalanche said that if she kept her shrinking rate at this moment, she'd be Setsuna sized by year 3. He also said it's going fast first before slowing down so Anna won't be Setsuna sized. Estimated result is that Anna would still be one of the taller people, just not NBA guy towering as she is right now.

No, it's slowing down, yes, but he means that, even accounting for the slowing down, we'll be Setsuna sized by year three.

Cute, tiny Anna is cute and tiny. :V

Nah.

Look, you know how, in certain RPGs, you can customise your character appearance? And at first it looks cool, but after a while you realise, "Well damn, in this lighting I look absolutely ridiculous." Such that, if you're a PC gamer, you go in and edit the character appearance?

That's basically what Durga is doing right now. [/Rem is full of shit]
 
Where in Canada is Anna from by the way?

I can just see Sandra struggling not chastise her team for not celebrating Christmas properly

Hopefully.

Cause shrinking THAT much is crazy short at 19.

Well, that's weird.

Why would being taller help in aerial combat? One would think being large would cause more resistance for your propulsion systems to overcome, present a larger target for enemies, and cause your body to require more fuel.

And if it does have a combat advantage, it seems odd that her systems would give it up, since she'll being going back to fighting eventually.
 
Anna was regenerating an arm after Wave Forcing Sekhmet, right? (I mean, it was mentioned that one arm was nearing full capability again when Sandra asked our status last update, and WF has previously been stated to apply the frame damage to the projecting appendage.) Perhaps what Durga was doing was redistributing available mass to form a new arm, meaning Anna was whole again but smaller than she was previously.

Although if that was the case, we'd see her stop shrinking and start growing again once the repairs are done. If that happens, it probably means I'm right. If it doesn't, then either I was wrong or that's not all of what's going on inside her.

Strength, Endurance, more surface area to put the weapons and lasers on, weight for added momentum when she does need that missile impression, not enough material/power to do what she wants unless she wanted to get shot at.

And why gave it up? It's jury rigged and haphazard rigging. Now that Anna is in a controlled environment and not in constant combat tension along with support structure, she can replace those haphazard rigging with proper one.
 
It may also be a symbolic transformation as she get's more in touch with her humanity again. "Most normal women are short. I should be short."

Extra momentum's actually a drawback as far as maneuverability goes. And physical strength is nothing given the various tricks she employs with impeller fields that aren't muscle dependent. Given that many of her weapons seem to float independently near her (her energy canons anyway), space to hang them directly on her body doesn't seem to be much of an issue, either.

I suppose it's possible that being larger lets her body put in some extra padding for enduring g-force or something, though.
 
I figured it was just a whole bunch of redundant organ systems and inertial compensators and nanorepair hives not being able to be compressed into a human sized body under wartime conditions, and Durga taking this downtime as an opportunity to refine her work.
 
I prefer my theory that it's just that Durga took over Anna's growth sub-routines at some point, but never quite understood how it was supposed to work. Only after some serious downtime, and exposure to a wider range of humans, did it occur to Anna's Subconscious that it might have done it wrong.

"Humans are supposed to grow bigger as they age, right? Ok, so I'll just keeping this growth thing going... erm, how fast is this supposed to go again? And is there a stopping point? I'll figure it out later."
*Later*
"Hmmm, I seem to have over shot... Don't worry, I can fix this!"

Well, good thing she figured out how to manipulate those with her impeller after.

Yes, in the end, after years of it. Anna didn't have them on Master right from the beginning. Remember that at the start, her armor is a bigass snow plow she lug around and her frame is a bigass backpack, which she also lug around. Her guns were also backmounted.

It's very possible she made those physical 'growth' before having the skills to do what she could now.

She lived in a small town of people. I`m pretty sure that would make at least a decent reference point, as she spent sometime in the town defending it with the people bolting on random things to Durga to get makeshift weaponry.

Or it might be foreshadowing that Anna will be losing a lot of limbs in the upcoming years...:cry:
