HalAnime said: The hype is really high, even more so in Japan. https://twitter.com/anime_kabaneri/status/716503313433276416 https://twitter.com/anime_kabaneri/status/716965402438291456 https://twitter.com/anime_kabaneri/status/716858607225036802 The advertisements are all over the place, it's almost as if it already aired and people want a season 2 lol It's pretty much the same with Owari no Seraph before its airing time. The advertisements are all done from the creators side anyway so that's not really saying anything about the fans aside from they (the creators) really want this to be successful which doesn't really help with Seraph. |
NotThisShitAgain said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIp3trCIPho Opening seems good.... The Anime was exclusively premiere in Amazon now. I think it's airing on the 7th. I don't like the soundtrack vocals it doesn't fit this series. It sounds like one of those generic harem openings. Eh. Hopefully the anime will be better. |
| Of course it is, but that's what makes it worth watchin in the first place. |

Radeck513 said: Is this series even being hyped? All I've seen is that it's a SnK rip off even if SnK isnt exactly bursting with originality itself. Yes, it has a lot of hype going around it. I heard the series has little similarities to snk. So by time the first episode airs, the snk comparison will probably die out. |
| I first thought it was similar to SnK. (SnK peole living behind walls. Here people living in stations. SnK titans are attacking. Here the Kabane. Here we have the bushi and in SnK there were the different legions trying to protect humans.) When I saw that the studio also made SnK I thought "maybe no coincidence and they like that kind of stories". But seems a bit overhyped. Did not like it that much. Main chars don't seem that interesting and the girl probably going to be annoying. Also I don't like samurai styled stuff mixed with the steam punk. (Steam punk itself is okay.) |
| I don't think it's hyped at all. Shit I haven't even heard this from my friends nor my cosplay friends. |
| so rejoice edgelords this new anime showed to be even more edgy than that other one you called a masterpiece for no reason(aot) |

But we'll see, the hype is there. Oh yeah... Because SnK's story is a masterpiece... FFS it's the most cliche apocalyptic scenario and yet people find it amazing. It's not a masterpiece, it's all right. Well done but far from super. This goes for both shows. Yes, to me it is very intriguing and interesting. FFS Dragonball Super is a pile of garbage and you rated it higher than SnK. I doubt that we will agree on anything here. |

I found this amusing to read, thank-you. Anyway, Koutetsujou no Kabaneri already feels like it could be a better show than SnK. I'm liking the dark and gritty atmosphere it's presenting to us, I'm not expecting it to have some deep and well-thought out plot, but for a nonsensical action show, I'm sure I can enjoy it. Just because it's similar to SnK, doesn't mean it can't be good or even better. I'm hoping it doesn't get overhyped though, as shows getting overhyped lead to fanboys who can't accept a show has flaws, which I'll avoid from naming. *cough* ERASED *cough* |

Zaiton said: I rate every genre with different criteria. Attack on titan is a dark shonen placed in an apocalyptic scenario. Db super is an action shonen. Obviously you can't compare the two grades, you idjit. Obviously you're just an asshole who doesn't care about the opinion of other people. Vanessa said: you wut m8?! the setting is one of the best aspects of the anime for me, steampunk is awesome and there are not enough anime with it Very subjective, while there are not many anime with steampunk it's not a setting I'm particulary interested in. |

Image8 said: This preety much sums it up. Although like with SnK watching it without any afterthoughts makes it more enjoyable. Bulllshit. That guy is trying too hard to imitate Yahtzee's style and failing hard |
| It is already overrated. Everything that is currently airing is either overrated for having 8 score but being lower or being 8- score but deserves 9+ Therefore it's overrated shit and y'all are plebs for liking it. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| This is just a Smurfs parody, there is no reason to hype this. |

Or the hype surrounding Boku Dake for that matter. Both of those series' are much better than SnK and what we have presently gotten for KnK. Then again, I shouldn't be surprised, as SAO is guaranteed to be brought up any time I call out these shows for what they really are. Other than that, I do agree with your statement having now seen the first of ep. of KnK. It has the potential to be better than SnK, so all I can do is hope it will follow through. |

I'll admit it has nothing to do with the discussion, I just found it humorous how you continue to express a less than favourable opinion about KnK and 'calling it out' for being an action-packed series with no real substance, yet you seem to highly-rate a show that fits that exact criteria better than SnK or KnK do. That's all it was, nothing more. I don't even care for SnK, but I found it to be a much better show than SAO, and ERASED for that matter, and I wouldn't be surprised if KnK is too. But hey, at the end of the day, people are free to like and dislike what they want, nobody's wrong or right, so who cares if a show gets hyped? Nothing's going to change from you trying to argue a point, so the best thing to do is to just let them enjoy it. |

| in my opinion, this anime is just awesome and it didn't turn down my expectations XD |
| theres alrdy like 10 anime with KnK as an abbreviation, so just call it kabaneri or something |

| It's literally objectively overrated overhyped babby's first 2deep4u otaku pandering wish-fulfillment shounenshit garbage. |
Kittenpotpie said: theres alrdy like 10 anime with KnK as an abbreviation, so just call it kabaneri or something That's what I'm calling it already |
Fist of all Erased was never hyped it just got popular because it was amazing (specially the first episodes) How can you say that Erased was not overhyped when people are still banging head over heels for it? The real "hype" began as soon as it aired, especially towards the middle of the series. Hell, it's being recommended as a Seinen/Thriller all over the place. |
Peabot said: I had no idea this was coming out until a few days prior to the first episode, so I can't say much about the hype. I did read a few blogs and all of them compared Koutetsujou no Kabaneri to Shingeki no Kyojin. I think Koutetsujou no Kabaneri is geared toward an older audience, and as one of those older audience I like Kabaneri much better than Shingeki. Koutetsujou no Kabeneri has a better story, better art, and a pace that builds suspense without being too slow. In short, after one episode I already love it. Much better than Shingeki no Kyojin in my view. Overhyped? Personally I don't think so. But if people expect the same audience that loves Shingeki no Kyojin to love Koutetsujou no Kabaneri just as much or even more, then they might be asking too much. I have no idea after just a single episode one can say Kabaneri has a better story than snk. Don't bother giving me explanation on why, I really don't care. This snk kabaneri comparison is getting really annoying, whether folks like snk over this or the opposite. It's reach to the point where I just want this series to hurry up and end. And that's pretty sad because I actually like this series. |

I am going by my gut instinct. I may have to come back to eat my words, which I will do if the series turns out different from what I project. Also lol at the part about this is aimed towards a older audience, when Wada already said this is aimed towards teenagers and they hope it will be as successful as snk. I bet you think elfin lied is also for a older audience, since it's so dark right? |

But you are right I don't have any evidence that it was actually geared toward an older audience. I should say instead that in my opinion I think Kabaneri will appeal more to an older audience than Koutetsu. But, the two shows aren't really similar at all, like you said yourself in an earlier post. Elfen Lied is one of those shows that appeal to young and old alike. Its a simple easy to understand story that the younger audiences can appreciate with lots of fan service that will also attract older otaku males. Ok mate I got you. Shnjdkjnsssisnc |
| Kabaneri is basically overhyped as of now. Yes, this show does give me the SnK vibe but I think that's only because of the walls and the animation. I think the rest will be totally different ^^ |

| I wouldn't recommend referring to this series as KnK. Everyone says that to talk about Kara no Kyoukai, so that could be confusing to some depending on the situation. |
| Overhyped? Funny I don't see much discussion about this show on Anime Community or Facebook page lol. Maybe overhyped on MAL. |
| Feel like this is overhyped just because Hiroyuki Sawano pulling out badass music again for a potentially not-that-great anime... of all the anime he's done the score for, only AoT (SnK) is the one I find at LEAST decent. Also, I really like the art style for this one, because it blends with the style from SnK and a seemingly older type of art. |

| idk I have really high expectations just because of how the story sets itself up and the art/characters and everything the first episode was awesome imo but if they ruin it I still think it will be hyped |

Zaiton said: That 10 on NGNL tho mate :P Still the best "protagonist goes to another world" anime for me so far. Re:Zero might take it over. And Koutetsujou might or might not beat my rating for SnK. Since Wit Studio is doing this as just a fill-in anime, I don't think it'll beat SnK. |

| It is, It is good, but sure It isn't the best of the season. I can't deny animation, art, and maybe Characters, but the plot, even not being bad, It lacks from originality, which is not bad when It is done well, but here we need to make a point, beacuse there are series with similar plots, other which just use some kind of similar base to develop an story which ends up being very different than the source, and what happens with Shonens, that they have similar characteristics, but they differ a lot in what reffers to plot, characters, and etc. KnK's problem is that It's falling on the first category, but I really hope to end up with something dramatically different, or I will be very disappointed, It's not correct to use the same plot, change It a little, move the time period and pretend It is a lot different, just saying. For me It is nice, I will probably watch It complete, but my hype is mainly on BNHA and Bungou Stray Dogs more than in KnK, so... |
| Naw nothing's never too overhyped |

| I don't think so. It didn't receive the same attention as ERASED or OPM, and I haven't seen a lot of fanboys. There's quite a large number of haters though, they're the same people who hated AoT. |
