As I was reading through the comments on the Net, I realized that the ammount of hype is crazy high. I'm really afraid that people who says "This will be amazing and great" will try to compere it to SnK and expect it to be as good as SnK was. In the meantime KnK might be just your avarege although enjoyable series which is good but definitely not as great as SnK and because of hype and expectations this series could really go down on rankings. Hope it won't happen tho...
I just hope that it will be as good as people want it to be :/

My expectations are actually not that high, I already expect this not to be as great as SnK since I think the setting itself is a bit boring. But we'll see, the hype is there.

I'm going into it with the expectation, that I couldn't possibly enjoy it less than SnK (simply listening to that ED every week will probably already give me more enjoyment).

Here are the impressions of someone who saw the first three episodes in theater in japan (source : /a/). No spoilers but if you want to know nothing about it don't read it :

"[It was] Good. I definetly want to watch more. But also kinda slow in development, episode 1 alone will probably feel pretty meh to people. For me episode 2 and 3 made up for it instantly, but you'll have to wait a week and two.

Considering how many subcharacters and possible subplots were introduced, I have serioous doubt they'll have enough development in just one cour.

Fight scenes with Mumei were fast, she was jumping around a lot. MC didn't really have a proper fight scene, the one on top of the train with Mumei isn't in the first three episodes. Other characters were mostly afraid of Kabanes and were just running away or shooting from safe positions. I can tell you the animation in first three episodes was very good though. The true question is if that will be the same in the other ones.

To me the overall tone [of the opening] felt similar to Shingeki no Kyojin's opening. The first half showcasing how fucked up the world is, the second characters fighting against it.

I want to add, the serious is hardly a total Shingeki no Kyojin rip-off. Of course the premises share similarities and this probably exists mainly because SnK was so popular, but it has enough elements of its own to feel different. For example you get a strong sense of paranoia between the characters, cause the Kabane virus is transmitted by being bitten, so everyone is obsessing over that, kinda like in a zombie movie.

Honestly no CGI seemed bad to me. Or at least bad enough to remember it as a case of bad CGI."

It's allready grossly overhyped. That said, I plead 'guilty'.

Regarding it being like SnK. There are some things I distinctly disliked about SnK; like how it had the tendency to be so over the top with everything, it actually lessened the impact. The scale of it almost felt American, everything had to be big. Huuuuuuuuge Titans, burn all the ships, chew all the mothers,.. it really had an adverse effect on the drama for me. I'd be interested to see whether KnK gets it right. Also, the art style allready looks much more appealing to me.

OPM was actually genuinely hilarious and Boku Dake was actually thrilling, so to compare it to patriarchal trash that takes itself too seriously like this show is quite the leap in reasoning.

OT: As stated above me, the show is already overhyped, which seems to be one of the many common threads that tie studio WIT'S works together. The fact topics like this only serves to prove my point further. It will be a moment of glory when the anime community learns to stop hyping shows that are conspicuously action-packed pandering schemes.

Why is KnK being compared to SnK?

Just realized that Okouchi, one of the original creators of Code Geass, is one of the staffs. Cool beans.

Because it's a show about people living in city built around the purpose of fighting off titans with a single weak point made by the same studio who did AoT and directed by the same guy?

It's not true at all. It was one of the most anticipated of the seasons, and then real hype began.

From what I've heard the series is really not that similar to snk.

@CherryLover damn you're annoying, I'm seeing you commenting the same thing on every single kabaneri thread. Is this a warm up before snk s2?We get it you don't like grimdark series or fanservice series. Therefore you will always look down on them, and I'm basing this from your list. So you've already have a bias opinion towards these type of series. So I don't think anyone should take you seriously.

I bet if it was similar to sword art online you would probably be hyping this series up.

Aimer and Chelly collaborating for the ED was enough to get me hyped.

This show will probably turn out average~decent, get high ratings and lots of hate as with all hyped up shows do. Predicting it now. Defintely going to see an overrated thread created yet again...

Yes. I think with some pretty amazing seiyuus under its belt, it's impossible to not have it overhyped and also people are into this kind of apocalyptic sort of mess and yes, it has definite tones of SnK, which people have been deprived of for a while.

Although, I feel like this piece will deliver. Just from the PV, I already found myself engaged and wanting more. It's definitely a matter of perspective at this point

I'm going to let it air 3 episodes before I dig into this but I am not feeling the hype.

Probably because I didn't really like SnK all that much, this looks very similar but I'm interested to see just how the zombie-like aspect of the Kabaneri virus affects the interaction between characters.

Annoying? Well, good sir, I suggest that you would be better off to stop stalking my every single post that relates to grimdark, overtly patriarchal series such as SnK or the soon-to-air KnK. I am not going to stop expressing my opinions any time soon, so long as the community continues to frivously hype these "dark action-packed series" that have no real substance and rely on cheap pandering tricks.

Surely, whether this series is my "cup of tea" or not shouldn't matter here. I am merely expressing my opinion on the matter of this series being overhyped, which is the objective in a forum setting, is it not? How that is remotely related to being a "hate post" is beyond me.

That's not the problem. The problem is that you felt the need to spam all the kabaneri threads with how much you think it's going to suck. Not saying you're wrong, because it is possible. But you're really overdoing it.

Anyways, as I said before, do whatever you want.

Based wit studio! Hopefully it delivers or atleast be entertaining. Btw a lot of people did watch the pre screening of this series. Up to episode 3, so that may be the case.
