Man that Suzuki guy, it's so jarring when he speaks proper english.... Y u no engrish???
This is why japanese x proper english is weird -> it doesn't fit in with the syllables and rhythms of the language.

Imo, it's almost as annoying as someone speaking random japanese words in their english.

Has it been confirmed that the series is only around 12 episodes long? If so, why hasn't it been updated on MAL yet?

Clearly. I knew he was more or less foreigner, just making a point it sounds weird XD

Hm, unfortunately I feel like I'm less impressed with each new episode. Sawano is great, but his bombastic music combined with the main character doing nothing cool at all is pretty hilarious. Not sure what that big moment was supposed to prove other than him being able to shoot a gun at point blank range; Ikoma really isn't working out for me too much.

Also worried about the story format. There's almost no story thread going on so far other than humanity being screwed and Mumei going to meet her brother (?) - I don't see this show going anywhere, especially if it is really going to be only 12 episodes long.

I'll continue watching, but I hope they step it up.

The characters are all annoying as hell,each episode I watch is worse than the previous one.


I feel you may have a point. If the show did not have amazing animation, it would be looked at way worse than it is. There is no subtlety in this show whatsoever and the characters are either in rage/freak out mode or exposition/dialogue mode. There is no middle ground. AoT was similar, but at least the story and world building was a lot better than this jumbled mess.

Well well, the episode was very good. I have absolutely nothing to object. It was exciting and entertaining. I'm amazed on how self-sufficient the Iron Fortress is. Repairing heavy damage on the go.

As a side note, like in The Walking Dead, many people will die because some stupid person makes something stupid, or makes a stupid decision.

I know right? I thought the same thing, but the music made me want to slide that under the table...


PD: I did not notice until now how big the attention for Mumei's legs is in the Ending.. oh woao...

In show's like this the humans always seem to be their own worst enemies. IDK if that is just a plot device or something the author is trying to get across in the story but blaming the Princess, then taking the more dangerous route is a receipt for disaster if you ask me. The Wazatori is an interesting idea but I feel they didn't make them different enough from other (regular) Kabane to really distinguish the difference. He should be able to rule over the other Kabane he created or something like that imo, it would have been better. A Kabane picking up swords isn't really a Kabane knowing swordsmanship. The humans on the train are fucking useless, why is it so important to keep so many people who cannot help themselves around? This makes me question the writers considering the world seems to have been like this for some time I would expect the normal populace to be versed in some type of combat but they aren't. Also how quickly they were able to load up and escape the incoming Kabane at the beginning of the episode was far fetch and hard to believe. The end scene with everyone out on the train is a little much as well even if the Kabane don't really come out in the day time there is still a chance of running into them. Overall not a bad episode but nothing really special about it. The fight scenes are not as good as AoT and the story is still dragging imo since we really do no t know what the overall plot is as yet. 3/5

This show is entertaining to watch, but not really a good one. It all kind of fall flat to me, the characters and the plot. There is this long list of cliches and (god forbid me for mentioning it) aot rip-offs.
I'm also getting tired of this "people being paranoid and blaming the half-monster" thing. It has been done several times and is very annoying to watch. Idk if it's to make it more realistic but it's not a great way of doing it. Kinda handy you get super powers and extremely fast healing abilities as a kabaneri? That's like every half human half monster concept out there.
Basically I'm just ranting a bit, I tend to be very picky when watching a show.
Art and animations is great! Soundtrack too, but it's also a bit too wit-studio style.
Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy this show. But the flaws are all there.

Interesting to see that there are more powerful kabane which have retained some human traits (like sword fighting). This makes it even harder to draw the line of who is still human (or kabaneri) and who is a monster. Maybe Mumei and Ikoma will turn into the "intelligent" kabane over time...? :(

New Wazatori kabane, seems his heart cage is also tougher. At least the mob dies by gunshots & Ayame's cool steam archery.
Ayame didn't do anything wrong, shouldn't apologize to those dumb oldies.
More intelligence & coordinated kabane shown, lead by the wazatori leader. Seems they threw a peasant toward 火薬 (on the gunpowder barrels), so that his heart bomb would blast the train wall.

Nice details, when American Judge kun ran he threw a wrench into a tank & made a splash. Very cool fights overall & Ikoma's training paid off. He didn't seem to op either, but faster than Kurusu. Gorgeous blood scene in dawn lighting. Kurusu (got a ring, married?), finally shows his samurai chops, and wall running lol.

I'm taking a liking to the bara (buff) type guy on the samurai sword team.
He's so cute and I love his design.

Also the episode was really good, that was just something I noticed.
The insert song was good and the ED is still killing me.

Late watch

Pacing was all over the place, seemed quite sloppy.
Dialogue was a step down from the previous episodes.
Action was good, this week was made for it, but not outstanding, especially in the knife fights
Story was, like every week since the first, simple and predictable(not bad in any sense)

BUT this still has the style and swagger, and is also still very beautiful. Thus no qualms for me

Can we just collectively appreciate how fucking epic the OP is once more? Seriously, probably OP of the season for me, gives me goosebumps.

Besides that, this was a solid episode. Good to see more of Ayame not just being a weak-sounding princess, she's actually capable of combat (to some degree) and major decision making.

Pretty intense episode.

So there's a kind of Kabane who knows sword fights based on experiences. It's called "Wazatori".

Ikoma saves the day.

I can't help but think that this went WAY better than it had any logical right to.

I mean, Ayane stabbed a zombie to prove he didn't want to eat her.. which successfully disperses the crowd that wanted to kill the Kabaneri. And then only a few minutes later Ikoma jumped her to try to bite her after all. Then Captain McShootypants comes in to find this situation and somehow doesn't shoot him despite the golden provocation. And the rest of the passengers hear about the attack but this somehow doesn't get the angry mob fired up again.

And let's not forget that at around the same time that Ayane and Ikoma's moment happens, Mumei was casually wandering around asking people for blood and then wondering why that bothered them. Right after a memorial service. This is prime facepalming meterial.

Convenient zombie attack for the distraction, I guess.

I believe the ring-leader(guy with purple head-wrap) for the small mob from last episode was one of the guys that took the master key for the train.
Kajika the girl with the side pony-tail is my waifu of the season:) the train conductor Yukina isn't to bad either.

A steam-bow? I would like to know what this can add to a bow with so little weight added to the weapon.
The experienced kabane was an interesting introduction, but during the katanas encounter I was wondering how this japanese man could be so much taller than Kurusu.
What was this idea to explode inside the train and make a giant opening?

Despite being a bit less pretty than before, I still love the rendition of Mikimoto's art (even if it is not as beautiful as a movie like "Do you remeber Love?").

4/5

This stupid french fansub adaptation... experienced became "Sepsis" in order to stay in line with their adaptation style: Kabane are "Infected ones" and Kabaneri "Immune ones".

This episode was intense. Series has been great so far. I wonder how long it'll take for them to get to Kongokaku, and what other problems they'll have to face before they get there. I'm also interested to learn more about the Kabaneri. I just hope being 1-cour doesn't hold it back too much. Hopefully there will be another season in the future. Anyways, right now, I'm just excited for more 😊

Mumei really needs to learn what trust means "Trust me but I'll eat you". That's not how it works Mumei.

And humans need to make up their mind too:
Humans: Kill all Kabane!
Mumei kills Kabane
Humans: How could you? You monster!

Like seriously?


At least things seem to have finally stabilized at the end.

The sudden change of heart from the people shouldn't have been needed since they already saw first hand that Ikoma and Mumei save them in the first two eps. Shouldn't take 4 episodes for the people to realize that they are allies but better late then never. Characters tend to be dumb and illogical in zombie apocalypse but knowing this still can be really frustrating at times.

Well at least the anti-Kabaneri pests are gone now. I found it a bit odd that they didn't just demand him to give them his gun rather than letting the princess give him blood. I guess they didn't want to risk fucking up and having more casualties.

LMAO at Kabane wielding swords now.

Mumei oppai on point.

Eren's cousin died.

Ayame wasting that blood letting it fly in the air.

Time to end the racism. There shouldn't have been any in the first place since they were born human.

Oh god. Idk how many times I swore at those 'elders' for doing that to Ayame then leading them into Kabane swarm. Jesus. I wish they were eaten by that Wazatori. And I swear most of the elders in the anime are so fucking dumb. They even tried to get rid of Ikoma and Mumei with their friends or supporters (haha). Hahaha. I celebrated when those assholes who tried to disconnect them from the train were eaten. Lol. Glad they died.

Slay, Ikoma, I guess. Hell yeah! Not as badass as Mumei, but he saved them all. Goddamn.

Now all of them appreciates Mumei and Ikoma. And they are willing to offer their blood for them two. Sweet!
