I do hope they bring this back, because so much was left unanswered, and two more couples were hinted at and I'd love to see them develop!

As much as I loved it, I did feel just a little disappointed, since it felt like a continuation of the story more than a conclusion, which is great if they plan to work more on it, but not so great if, well, they don't.

The kiss was so goddamn adorable though, Mumei and Ikoma are so cute, but Yukina is definitely Bae for me.

Well, this was definitely better than the second half of the first season. Also, I liked the antagonist in this movie better than Biba.

Throughout the series, I felt that Mumei and Ikoma had a brother/sister bond, but I guess not (especially because of that kiss (which I was spoiled at)).

Overall, either a 6 or 7 out of 10.

It was fine and the animation was top tier but I still think the anime series was better overall. Still a solid 7/10.

Miyuki.
Her father.
He turned into Kabane.
Oh snap! Female Kabane oppai and nipples.
Mumei!
Mumei got the moves.
Ikoma saving his girl in smoove fashion.
Mumei can't stop blushing.


And that was the end... for now. It was ok. The sakuganeri was on point. It was nice to see best girl Mumei again. That kiss was unexpected, but I loved it. The animators made Mumei so beautiful that she snapped Ikoma out of his Kabane frenzy. WIT needs to hurry up with more Kabaneri. Shouldn't take this long for sequels.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Well they went back to their city. Not sure if it will get a sequel in the future. The story might even end here considering the ships at the end. This villain was better than Biba but still wasn't impressive all that much. I am going to stick with the same score I gave to the 1st season. The kiss at the end was well done and was better than any cliched over used confession scenes. Good job on that.

This was supposed to be a movie so when I found out it was 3 episodes I thought it was pretty fucking lazy. Also they couldn’t even produce new songs and just reused the same opening and ending. Lazy fucks

At the war council why the fuck is Ayame apologising for Ikoma. Ayame and everyone else should be backing Ikoma up not fucking apologising. They have fought side by side in many battles and no one defends Ikoma or backs him up like what the fuck. Fucking bastards why the fuck does Ikoma still hang around those cunts.

I also want to kill all of those shitty ass soldiers. If it wasn’t for Ikoma they would never have known about the Kabanes plans and would have just charged into the enemy base and got themselves all killed. They steal Ikomas information and still leave him locked up. Ayame is a bitch as well instead of releasing Ikoma herself she says ask for someone’s help to release him but then gets on her train and forgets all about Ikoma. Useless bitch what a joke



Well as shit as it was i’m happy we got a kiss with Mumei and Ikoma. Also the movie ending dance was pretty cool and nice song.

It was alright.
The "army" kind of ruined it for me. And it's such a common cliche.
Whenever there's a side character, who is some kind military leader, he's just the epitome of fucking incompetence.
You have this military, few in number, useless fighters and utterly incompetent leaders. But somehow they show up, run the show, boss everyone around and ignore just about anything people tell them.
It's silly makes the plot seem dumb.

I have to say that I didn't enjoy this movie as much as the anime overall. But that's probably just due to the time constraints of it being a movie.

This movie essentially captured what made the first half of the series so great: human/kabaneri tension, zombie hordes, and enjoyable character relationship dynamics. The antagonist of this movie even had a more reasonable motivation than the one in the main series. And once again, the music and animation was on point. Only real flaw it had was that it was too short, but it made the best effort it could in an hour, and impressed with it.

What a gorgeous sequel to such great series!

I recommend watching the ending credits. That dance scene was simply fantastic.

@Archean-Return Agreed! It was basically Kabaneri anime experience from the first season in a nutshell. :D

Although, I didn't think the movie was too short, because - like you said - Wit Studio managed to use its full length in the best way possible. It was dynamic, told told the story well and had both slower and faster paced moments. Sure, extra scenes would've been great, but from technical point of view, I think they weren't necessary that much to improve the overall experience or storytelling. They would have not affected it negatively either, of course.

This felt like a side quest more than a sequel. There's little progress but it was a nice movie nonetheless. They really need to finish this story.

Ah, that sneaky kiss at the end.

Finally after Winter, Spring came for our boy Ikoma 😭😂.
That ED festive Dance and themes/sceneries are so Dazzling and Beautiful ✨.
They Concluded it on a Good Note.
Really Enjoyed this a lot.
Score 8/10 at MAL.

Edit (Better Version after detailed writing);-

This movie really captured what made the first half of the series so memorable—tension between humans and kabaneri, relentless zombie hordes, and compelling character dynamics. The antagonist had a much more grounded motivation compared to the main series, adding an interesting layer to the story. The animation and music were spot on once again. While it was on the shorter side, the film made the most of its hour, delivering a solid experience.

Kurusu and Ayame 💕 are perfect for each other, even if Ayame doesn't quite realize that Kurusu has feelings for her. Despite that, their dynamic gives off the vibe of a newly married couple, and it's both heartwarming and hilarious to watch. Their chemistry adds a delightful touch to the movie, making their moments together feel all the more special.


That sneaky kiss at the end though, what a twist! 😆 And after all the winter hardships, it’s nice to see Spring finally arrive for Ikoma. The ending theme, with its festive dance and vibrant visuals, was absolutely stunning—such a beautiful way to close out the story.


Overall, a satisfying conclusion, and I really enjoyed it. Solid 8/10 on MAL.
