I_Am_Awesome said: redgrave_zero said: I agree that the score is fine but I just don't like how most the reviews are giving it a 3 and that they absolutely hate itBecause it's mediocre and the animation quality heavily dropped after the beginning. An average score of 7.6 is perfectly fine. A bunch of people seemed to go into the show 100% expecting it to be a realistic survival show. Like, look at the (by far) most helpful review: Kabaneri showed cracks in its foundation from the very beginning. The first episode has Ikoma stop the Kabane virus by restricting blood-flow to his head, Kabane are wielding butcher knives, OPERATING TRAINS, and thoughtfully reacting to human behavior. These things are not "cracks" in whatever "foundation" the show established before or during episode 1. The Kabane virus is completely made up, so the creators can have whatever rules they want for it. Even though the show takes itself fairly seriously, it was never meant to be that realistic. Regarding episodes 9/12... |

| LOL, it got lower score than guilty crown's. I think it's better than guilty crown. |
| Maybe people are just hunger with the complicate plot or fanservices. When once it's seemed to be a deep falls, butthurts will give worst deeper opinion. Thats absolutely common nowdays. The art was good anyway *-* |
We did this every day that summer. There wasn’t a day we missed.  "I love you, air conditioner." |
| I hated it because Mumei was a shit character that literally caused almost every problem in the anime and had 0 brain cells. Then everyone just kind of ignored the fact that she almost got them killed on the tracks one time and pretty much got an entire city destroyed due to her stupidity. Other than that the show was just average. It had good visuals, that I can say. The MC was bland, I hated that last villian guy whose reasons for "destruction" changed every episode. He always had a new reason to be pissed off each episode and his end game made no sense whatsoever. He wanted to save people by killing them, but actually he was just salty about the Shogunate and used that as an excuse. His motives were transient as hell making him a poorly written character. Not to mention zombies with giga beam attacks, I mean come on -_-. It was just overly stupid in the 2nd half of the show. I gave it 5/10 because that's exactly what it is, average. |
| Because after the first two episodes the show just got worse and worse. Not to mention the main characters were all very boring and the villain was the biggest joke of them all. Maybe if they focused more on horror/suspense in an end of the world scenario and didn't try to jam down my throat some poorly written villain then it would've been better. |
| I don't understand the poor rating in the reviews either. 2? 3? seriously? It's unfair, even Dragon Ball GT has better reviews than this. I had ZERO expectations, I don't like Attack on Titan and Guilty Crown had a very bad scenario. But I found myself enjoying this anime. The first 2 episodes remind me of Princess Mononoke, which is one of my favorites animes. Japanese steampunk? I love it! GOOD : - themes : trains, zombies, steampunk settings in ancient Japan. - animation: I have the fight Mumei vs Kabane in ep 2 in mind. - soundtrack! Yes, Sawano Hiroyuki's compositions are all alike, but they are soooo good. I have to admit that I can forgive a bad anime if the soundtrack is good. (I forgive Aldnoah Zero, Owari no Seraph and Guilty Crown). "Warcry", "noname", the epic "KABANERIOFTHEIRONFORTRESS", "1coma", "Through my blood", and the ending "ninelie" are some of the tracks I loved in the OST. - NO fanservice: thank you! For me it's a good point! BAD : - Biba: I don't care about his revenge. Just a villain appearing from nowhere in episode 7. - The characters are very clichés and stereotyped, and lack realism and psychology. For example: why nobody asks Mumei how did she become a Kabaneri? Imagine you're living in a world full of zombies. One day, you met a girl who said to be half human/half zombie. The first question you ask her would logically be: "how did you become half zombie?" But no one seems interested to know. - The predictable scenario. - The rushed ending. Score: 7.5 approved! (But I give it a 9, cause I really enjoyed it, I was never bored) |
| Sorry for my bad english. |
| probably because its just a worse version of attack on titan it has no reason to exist really (pictures are nice thooo) |

| I just found it good enough to enjoy, real nice visuals and decent music. I love the ED song. Story was meh and Mumei's bro was shite and It was just so fkng predicatable coz we seen that situation MANY times before in other animes (I ain't gonna name em). Mumei was pretty dumb during that part too, he made clear signs, actually more like in your face he's a pice of shit signs and yet she still didn't question him. It had the overreacting to things on max level (hard to explain), those cheesy ass moments of winning the people over and everybody all smiles and happy crap like "yay you my friend woohoo" ugh. It would tend to be over dramatic too. I keep thinking of that scene when the MC had to drink the princess's blood to gain strength and fight the samurai Kanbenari only it just took a few hits and it died like a bitch with his fkng weapon. WHY DIDNT YOU JUST GIVE IT TO THE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF ALL THAT DRAMATIC SHITE!? Even the people were " oh, so we can take em down with that steam gun" I expected them to get it or at least ask for i t but no. Had to be dramatic. Ending was....crap like the last few minutes of em escaping and then it just...ends...like whaat? That just felt....anti-climatic in a way..no, it felt incomplete, thats it. Like more was to happen in their adventure but it just ended with a to be continued in the next epidode vibe. Overall, despite my problems, it wasn't amazing and it had a ton of flaws but it was entertaining for me and I enjoyed it and that was all I wanted from the show no matter how dumb it was. 7/10 These days however, its the in thing to bash on anything that's popular because if you like mainstream things then your a fkn idiot apparently. Its the age of hipsters.....though that contradicts being a hipster lol |
| My Manga List My Anime List Shabada shabadabadaba I am DjG545 aka Dj Fo Fo aka The Mutha Fkn Name I'm Usin Now |
| It starts so damn well (now that I think about it, it's most likely because of the animation and music), I pre ordered its BD and OST (Ninelie). Survival and steampunk? count me in. And then stuffs happened, first the story turned into an Resident Evil game style which is bad because we are watching anime not playing games here, dont get me wrong here I'am a fan of RE games. Then story turned into a common and boring while at it, hero tries to save his girl and the world. Second the archenemey turned to be a dull one, with no strong reasonsa to do his evil deeds. Third, Mumei turned to be no more than a mere plot device, especially sad since she started as a good one, blame Biba 2k16. And the list goes on.... Sadly I cant cancel my pre orders and now I just hope it have some nice bonuses included. |

Madness17 said: Seriously, i don't get why 80% of the reviews give this show 5/10 or less, and why the score has dropped so much after the last episode aired. Most people wont rate an anime until it's finished, that's why the score dropped so much after the last episode. Madness17 said: Sure, the plot is dumb, especially in the second half, but did you seriously expect anything more from it? It was obvious from the start how this show was gonna be and most people seem to forget that. The plot wasn't the only thing that dropped though, the animation dropped as well which is a huge blow for an anime like this that depended on it.. |

| Because hating on stuff is cool. Having legitimate reasons to hate is only a complimentary feature. |
 |
| Recently I managed to finish up watching Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress or what people like to call it Attack on Trainwreck, and I honestly didn't think it was that much of a bad anime. Aside from the fast pace and the ending I think it turned out to be a decent anime which I would rate a solid 7, and yet people hate on it for everything else such as it being an Attack on Titan clone or having delayed Attack on Titan because Wit Studio was working on this rather than AoT (which hasn't even legitimately been verified). I mean I don't see Guilty Crown being severely hated for being a Code Geass clone or Haikyuu and Joker game being hated on because Production I.G. is working on a different anime other than AoT (as AoT was a collboration work between Production I.G. and Wit Studio). It had a good premise (since it's was pretty much AoT) and started off great, just that it started go bad about half-way in; and honestly people don't even hate this for the story but rather the things I mentioned above such as it pushing back AoT (which most likely wasn't even the reason) or it's an AoT clone, so seriously what's up with that? |

| - Bad voice acting. - Terrible pacing. - Uninspired antagonist. - Inconsistent enemies (some zombies are slow while others are super fast - what dictates this?) - An ending that makes absolutely no sense and had no explanation. I'm sure others could give more detailed examples than I could. The only thing the show had going for it was its art. |

But do people really dislike it for this reason. When I check the forums and see users bash on this show its usually 'this delayed AoT' or 'this is an exact copy of AoT.' |
|
| A solid 7? Ahahaha, no. It failed from the start, ie how apocalyptic series should feel. |
| I'd say it's mostly because it had a period of immense popularity. If it just minded it's business and stayed below the 6.99 zone then most people wouldn't be unhappy. But noooooooo, it had to shoot for 8.50 and piss off The AoT fans and a host of other people. |
|
| Because it is a fucking train wreck LMFAO |
| It is so dense. Every single image has so many things going on. |
| People expected much but they got just an action flick, too bad it sucks even as an action flick. Mumei and Kurusu's fighting scenes were cool for the most part but never great while Ikoma's fighting scenes were very underwhelming. |

 |
| I liked it, one of the best first episodes I've seen. Until Bebi came into the picture anyway, then nothing made sense. I still finished it though and it was fun to watch. I personally don't care what other people rate, it doesn't really diminish my own personal enjoyment of something. |

|
| It was popular. There is your answer. Look at Erased. Now look at the amount of negative reviews and people hating on it despite its score. You can't win with mal. |
| In all honestly its just as average as SNK. So if you want to hate on one ,you have to hate on the other. |
| I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions. |
| I don't hate it. But I don't like Ikoma and a zombie shooting laser? Are you kidding me? However, some of the hate is probably just because of popularity. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

The show just went downhill after biba showed up and the characters got annoying near the end. |
| People expected it to be a better SnK. The show didn´t even try to be like SnK outside of its basic premise. And that´s all folks. |
 |
| The reason why Kabaneri disappointed so many people can be summed up in one single word: BIBA! As soon as he was introduced, the show went downhill pretty fast. They could have just left the entire premise as surviving a Kabane apocalypse, but for some reason they felt like including a very generic and obvious antagonist for no good reason. As well as an ending that felt so uninspired and tacked on. Though it did have beautiful art and animation, a very epic soundtrack and well done action scenes, it pretty much fell flat with everything else. It truly is a huge shame. |

| Kabaneri is full of nonsense.You can see one already in the ending of first episode,where the protagonist chok his neck and then the virus is cured.What kind of logic is that???If it's that easy to cure the virus,everyone just chok their necks and there will be no virus at all. |
 Life is empty without anime |
| If you truly have to ask yourself, you're probably missing the point entirely. It probably gets more flak than normal Because the production value and staffing was excellent, so more people were disappointed than anything else. Just read my or any of the other top reviews of the anime and you'll get an idea of why this show is just B-movie and you'll get an idea of why this show is just the movie schlock. |

| Baically it's Shingeki no Kyojin version 2, but because Kyojin ame first everything after is sh*t. :/ It's literally the same story as Angel Beats! -> Charlotte. People just can't accept the fact that two similar things should be treated similarly. |
