| I would give Mumei my blood in a heartbeat XD I wonder what other kinds of kabane are out there  |
 |
| Awesome ep. The action was really really great. Esp the sequence with Kurusu, Ikoma and Mumei. So dynamic and the art was pretty good throughout that scene. not to mention Mumei's armpits :L The Wazatori are nice to know about. So there are some BA not so mindless Kabane out there? Man was this one huge tho. And he was savage asf slashing everything in his way like that. Ayame keeps growing on me. The offer of a contract was such a good scene with the blood flying like that. It was cool seeing Kurusu finally tone down the tsun. Takumi's such a great bro too. And I definitely wanna know more about Yukina. I just love how Gaijin-san talks. The English words he mention in between the jp are so lol Glad he didn't get injured or anything. |

Swifty said: This episode really did deliver, these first few episode of Kabaneri have been fantastic, lots of great action scenes in the episode and the introduction of a new type of Kabane, caleld Wazatori. Ayame's steampunk was pretty interesting, kinda surprised nobody has mentioned it yet? And finally that soundtrack, when is that getting released? It's fanfuckingtastic. OST coming out on the 18th of this month |
| That dual-wielding kabane literally cut katanas and obstacles in half. Like, even if it had superstrength that's a bit too much |

Cheezy said: That dual-wielding kabane literally cut katanas and obstacles in half. Like, even if it had superstrength that's a bit too much No not really. Katanas aren't as durable as western swords you know |
| Liking this series more and more, been a while since I got really pumped for the next episode of an anime. I think the reason why Ayame stepped down her place is both pressure from the six fu... I mean heads who, if you don't forget, are older than her so would be senior and she would act like a proper oujosama and bow down to her elders. The introduction of another Kabane is an interesting one as it makes me wonder what will happen if they keep growing? Maybe a human like Kabane will appear that can think and direct the Kabane like a Hive mind? Scary thought. Anyway the action is pretty good but I wonder how much of the people are left after this attack? Hate to be the poor bugger that has to go up to each of the corpses after the battle and punch their hearts out... Anyway at the end of the episode we get to see the people accept Ikoma and Mumei as a viable fighting force. While Ayame has steadily grown as a leader as she now takes back the key, maybe we'll get to see her develop even more as a commander, Mumei's comment might push her in that direction. Can't wait to see what happens next time. And the AoT comparison is getting stupid more and more really. Both uses steam power items. Both are against a horde of monsters Both have some kind of political struggle of sorts If there are more comparison please list them if you like but I can't see the two been the same, not even by a long shot. |

| Good riddance to all those cowards. |

That one's out of the barrel. Not that you'd want to use one instead of a gun, but in close quarters, is better than anything. Except no it's not since even Kurusu's friend said it. A TRAINED SAMURAI. Bushi aren't anything like that and even Kurusu was defeated by the Wazatori. So no your point is still worthless |
| Another good episode. Things didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would be after the last episode's cliffhanger. Lol, wasn't expecting dual-weilding kabane xD 4/5 |
 |
I'm glad these people are dead |
| The slowmotion was insane ! Great insert song They used children to clean the car stained with blood -_- |
| That sword wielding Kabane was op! Love the way it was just dodging the gun fire. The OST on the train got me hyped! Seeing Mumei fodderise Kabane like that is fun to watch. I still find that dude who speaks random words of english to be hilarious. |

Cheezy said: That dual-wielding kabane literally cut katanas and obstacles in half. Like, even if it had superstrength that's a bit too much well katana can cut steel. so yeah still little bit over the top. thought so too. but its not something out of mind |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| Did the ED song change...? Even if a little bit. It's a bit longer than the previous lol. |
 |
| @Xykko Point taken but to go on and on about the similarities is kind of asking people are you trying to troll. I'll say you're not for argument sake, but don't say it again next episode as no one likes a parrot. If you don't like people saying that you're a troll for keep saying it's too similar then please don't post. The setting in AoT I now recall, as I read the manga up to the point of where Eren was taken. The reason why I do not believe they are the same at this point is that with Eren powers it's not possible to create another of his kind, presently in the anime that is. But you forget that if a titan injure you that's it you're dead, while Kabane has the zombie problem where a bite will cause that person to come after you. Also we have to remember that if you're bitten you're considered good as dead and everyone will try to kill you before you kill them. The scene of the pregnant woman been killed kind of made me feel sad that people instantly blamed Mumei as been evil for killing her, despite that they were all terrified of her qhwn she staggers around looking like a Kabane. With the setting in AoT is vastly different as they have a town next to them that makes it easy for them to move to safety, well kind of. KnK have to travel by train and pray they don't get ambushed and killed as they reach to another settlement, on that maybe over runned already. Also the characters here are better I believe, again you can look at the second lead from both sides been good fighters. But I find that Misaka was so dead emotionally unless Eren was involved while Mumei is a bit more colourful. So yeah they're similar but they are different enough to warrant their own merits. I won't reply/argue if you make another post saying how similar they are as it's just a waste of time with people throwning tantrums here and there. So case closed. |

This can be both positive and negative in terms of story and anime, but i have faith it's going to be positive for this anime. It might be kinda the same like AOT, but what does this matter guys if it's good and fun to watch then they did a great job right? if it's an "ORIGINAL" it shouldn't borrow so many traits from an ongoing work. to me this is funny like mayoiga. completly retarded yet laughable. but sure everyone has different tastes and view things from a different prespective, but that doesn't me i'm completly wrong or completly right |

Tyrel said: Did the ED song change...? Even if a little bit. It's a bit longer than the previous lol. Yeah it did. I think in the OST preview there is another version of the ending song sung by another person and its named differently. Or it just may be the part of the ending we don't know yet. I think I could hear chelly and aimer swap back and forth which wasn't the case in the regular ED |

| Mumei's mood swings are very irritating. Don't really like her at this point. Ikoma saves the people and tells them flat out that he needs blood. Good move. Ayame might just become my favourite character if she keeps going like this. Kurasu did well enough but i hoped for a better resolve. I kinda see him sacrificing himself later on. Action and OST were really good as usual. |
| Really cool episode I must say. However seeing Ikoma and Mumei clearing of all the blood on the floor I thought to myself "Man they must be sad cuz so much food was wasted" xD |
Hey look at it this way. They solved the food problem from last episode. Less worthless mouths to feed |
| Well those fights were bad ass, with the fight with Ikoma and the wazatori would have lasted longer though |
 |
| I knew that there was gonna be some spin to the cooldown the kabaneri get, but i didnt expect blood to be the cooldown reseter. Finally the others on the train are slowly accepting ikoma and mumei. The princess got badass after being toyed around with. Samurai-kun is willing to donate blood, DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. Another great episode, i enjoy this far better than i enjoyed AoT, looking forward to the next ones :)! |
| Rokkon Shojo!! It looks like all the cowards were killed. Kurusu got stabbed through the body and survived. Ayame cut her wrist to give Ikoma a blood boost to defeat Samurai Kabaneri. Mumei took a nap. Fun episode. 5/5 |
| If only those paranoid people trusted Ikoma and Mumei from the start, then they'd still be alive. This episode was pretty intense, and the action was quite impressive, I really liked the fight choreography and the different camera angles. I like how the Wazatori served as an example that these creatures are capable of learning skills beyond running around and eating people. |

| Ayame's born a natural leader. It was nice to see everyone stepping up and volunteering their own blood for Ikoma and Mumei. What really got me was when Ayame said she would use her own blood for the two. What a great girl. I loved Mumei x Kajika vibes going on.  I'm all aboard this ship including Ikoma x Ayame.  |
| Are the japanese all wussy, pathetic people? How come most of their characters in their (contemporary) culture are so meek? The princess girl and the driver get ordered around even though they have absolute power, especially the driver girl can just say FU all, I'm the only one who can drive and I'll drive where I want (i.e. where the princess wants). She's untouchable. The protagonist is a bit of a wuss, too, but still better than in 95% of other anime so I guess there's at least that. I hope this gets better, the first episode was really good. |
| Fun episode. The writing doesn't bothers me anymore,as corny as it is, mostly because I already made peace of mind it is bad. More importanly, the virus thing has keep consistent. Do at least one thing right WIT studio, please. This scene is so good! It reminded me of a similar Seras x Integra scene on Hellsing Ultimate.  |

 It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.But does the heart have the right perspective? |
| Shounen power-up FTW, at least wasn't as bad as the previous episodes but the plot conveniences are still too evident. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Really enjoyed the action and artwork, also had a pretty good OST |
 |
| I love the amount of tension this show has. I'm always really into every episode that I watch and I haven't been disappointed yet since there's so much awesome shit going on. If anything, my only problem is Mumei who's annoying sometimes but luckily she's not too bad. Pretty good development overall too. Hoping this show continues to satisfy me. |
zal said: Shounen power-up FTW Which one? I think is something I allowed to pass up mainly because I gave up on criticizing this show (well, the plot conveniences were obvious, I didn't need to focus to get those) |
| It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye. But does the heart have the right perspective? |
| Great episode. That Wazatori learning how to fight with a sword through experience is scary. Not even Kurusu is a match. Ayame sharing her blood with Ikoma. Cool to see him take out the Wazatori with that piercing gun. Looks like more people are beginning to trust Ikoma & Mumei. Some great OST used in this episode. |

| Can't say I approved of Ayame giving up her position so easily, but smart girl for forming a "contract" with Ikoma to fight for her at the crucial moment. To be honest though, this felt like a weak episode compared to that past few. Oh, and the sudden changes with the people's opinion on Mumei and Ikoma in the other cart, minus those stooges who took control of the train, felt so sudden. Mr. Samurai guy still seems reluctant so that's seems normal enough compared to them. |
    |
| Pretty good episode . Loving the kabane diversity . We got sword dual weilding zombie lol . Wonder what they have in store for next encounter . That scene were they jumped on the train from above . So they aren't some standard zombies we see in movies . They are slow , but when they want to attack, they rush furiously at their victims in their line of sight . |
 |
| This better be the end of this stupid "let's throw 'em off the train" angry mob bullshit conflict subplot. I don't give a shit if any of you asshats want to argue that it's "realistic" behavior, fuck that, all that matters is that it's annoying as shit to watch. |
| Good episode. Highlights for me were the awesome sword fight between the samurai dude and the Kirito kabane wannabe and the beautiful scenery, especially at the end. I'm liking the fact Ayane seems to be already showing growth and I'm hoping to see more from the main duo, too. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
zal said: Shounen power-up FTW, at least wasn't as bad as the previous episodes but the plot conveniences are still too evident. It wasn't a powerup. He was fighting while starving up to that point and he just employed what he learned the hard way from Mumei. It was anything BUT a shounen powerup. =_+ |
