| I seriously can't understand some people who keep posting negative stuff week after week after week... I mean, if by say, episode 5-6 of a show you don't like it, who in his/her right mind would go through the pain of watching it until the end? Do y'all do this with every show? Is that why most of y'all have completed like 4 532 shows on their lists? |

| For all of this show's problems, an action-packed finale that ends with Ikoma dying will actually keep this show's score decently high along with the excellent soundtrack. I haven't much cared for anything that's happened the last 4 episodes but those last 3 minutes were actually really hype. |

| I was thinking how nice the new Ikoma design is but it went to shit in less than a minute. Anyways, not much to say other than the writing still being awful (that whole plan was just so silly and everyone's reactions were even dumber) and Biba's character remaining being bad. Oh, there's also the fact that both Mumei and Ikoma's transformations look awful and the black and white serum thing is just retarded. Plus the meeting between Ikoma and samurai dude was as convenient as it can get...

I mean, if by say, episode 5-6 of a show you don't like it, who in his/her right mind would go through the pain of watching it until the end? Thing is this started quite strongly and until around episode 4 I personally thought it was really damn good. Then it started becoming meh, but it was still enjoyable. It only became a trainwreck in the last few episodes and at that point I might as well just finish it, especially because it's not really boring. Just bad. |
| 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... |
| BIba dickmove, dickmove. I don't get his motivation. If he has a grudge against this father, he should kill only him not civilians. |

thepath said: simo000 said: the writing and directing is so bad. i can't believe how bad it has become. In what way it is bad written ?! Also, does "bad writing" make anime unenjoyable?! I personally find this anime much more entertaining that most of these anime that has "good writing" The action, drama, OST, badassness, killing etc keep me entertained all the time. Never felt boring while watching this show I agree. This show has its flaws, but is it bad written per se? I don't think so. "bad writing" can sometimes be good. Mars of Destruction for example was a mess, but I enjoyed its trashiness. |

| ♪ Tiny bit of reason still remains in my right hand~ ♪ I wonder if the Kotetsujyo crew now has Ikoma's rock since they took care of Takumi? I guess we'll see if it shows up again. ♪ What color is my blood...red, black, or white? ♪ I think maybe Ikoma has had all three now at different points in time? Or at least Mumei will. White blood is the antidote so someone in this context who has "white blood" might be considered human, since the red blood injection is what turns people into Kabaneri. And then obviously black blood refers to Nue/whatever Ikoma is about to become. |
| Highlight of the episode was def Ikoma's hot transformation. His plan seems really... weak. There will be lots of plot shields to make up for the end result if seems farfetched. I'll be looking forward to the next episode, and hopefully Ikoma dies |

| I really don't give a crap about Biba's daddy issues. Oh Ikoma, I'll always be on your side, even if others say that you're a poorly written MC, you'll always be my favorite character in this godforsaken series. Aww man what Biba did with his dad was harsh, geez. Biba and his men are really f'ed up. I love you Kurusu. Poor Mumei :( Ikoma looks fine with that new hairdo. The hype is real. Can't wait for the next episode. |

moncikoma said: The best thing ever happened in this show, is not the plot, nor the art, nor the music, or the chara.. But how ikoma stop the infection in ep 01, and then accept the infection in ep 11, its so beutifully done.. You can feel Ikoma determination from the very begining .. FROM SURVIVING (for hatsune sake) to SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR SOMEONE... (For mumei) To become the man he can be proud off.. That is the whole story of this anime.. such a beautifull writing.. Eh .. But this anime dont have a writing.. Because noone can see the good writing deep inside the bad writing (on the surface which is shallow in my opinion) If i have to describe this anime in four words "beauty in the mundane" I just saw him progress from smart to stupid. It's been done before. Medically it's called dementia. He trusts one of Biba's guys when he is told to infect himself for power? What a hero. |

What a hero. that biba guy, only cared about his invention.. which is why he want to see mumei so bad.. i dont think he scheming anything with biba.. he did not recommend ikoma to inject it though.. no gatling gun... he's harmless now =p All I'm saying is that anyone with a shred of intelligence would wait until they are close to where they have to fight, and then inject themselves, probably stopping flow of zombie juice to the brain. Yeah, suicide is brave but it's also stupid. Ikoma did the right choice for both his mission and self-preservation at the beginning, and he probably could have done the same again. The show didn't really present a dilemma, when there was a win-win situation available (which he didn't take). |

| So... this anime is going to be one of those which ends in a cliffhanger or something, without explaining further about its universe, otherwise turning it from a great work into a garbage? Nobody knows what the hell kabanes are and probably never will. |
materics said: TheBigGuy said: I agree. This show has its flaws, but is it bad written per se? I don't think so. "bad writing" can sometimes be good. Mars of Destruction for example was a mess, but I enjoyed its trashiness. It's bad writing. Too many plot contrivances. Poor or no character development. Characters make illogical decisions left and right. It would be forgivable for a character to make stupid decisions if there was a reason for it but it seems like the characters just don't think things through before doing anything, except for the villain. I think people are making a fuss because the production values and action scenes for the most part are great. It's sad seeing so much money and effort go into something that is just so narratively weak. ichiro did not get paid enough,.. and he did not deserves it! i think WIT studio make the right decision not to pay him too much... and focusing more budget for animation, musics, and ilustration.. that is the first priority, to make this anime more profit..and popular i know its bad..idea but its better than using all the budget for someone as ichiro.. he's like M Night shamalayan.. 1 or 2 hit wonder.. after that... hmm i think shamalayan is worst.. :v WIT belive even with this bad writing.. this series can be almost as popular as AOT.. by using the uniqe formula [1980's mikimoto,sawano,AOT,HYPE,bla2] it really helps the series to go up fast.. and down fast i guess =P 8.51-----7.?? but ... i really happy the with the overall episodes. 2-3 bad episode is OK for me.. overall its full of FUN ride..that rarely happens in any anime i watched... this season... (only re:zero that can blow my mind) maybe about 7.5-7.8 rating is ok.. even if im a fanboy.. im OK with that.. its a good score for a bland story such as these... what matters is i still love it no matter what everyone said.. that is the true fanboy i wannabe <3  |

| Ikoma looked pretty cool at the end with the fuel thing. Wonder how the fight will go. |
| So basically what I got is BIba has..well HAD daddy issues. On a serious note I still don't really get Biba's motives. It doesn't even sound like he really has any sort of goal and used the incident to 10 years ago to justify all the slaughter up to this point. Maybe I missed something in the earlier episodes (most likely) when he briefly went over what happened but still this all just seems pointless. Last episode should be exciting though, definitely enjoyed the action driving the series up to this point. If this gets a second season, which wouldn't be any time soon, 2 years maybe? I hope they would dig deep into WHY the Kabane are they way they are and how it all started or just ANYTHING Kabane related that isn't just "KILL EVERYTHING INSIGHT!!! PEW PEW PEW!!!". I'm gunning for Ikoma to ALMOST kill Biba, attempt to save Mumei from the Black Shadow but she ends up, again, saving his life leaving him to survive (AGAIN. Since, you know. Tragic sister backstory and all) and will now have two bodies (well I guess three if you count his BFF) on his conscious to fuel him on his quest to defeat all Kanabe, kill Biba and find a cure . If Ikoma dies, so does a chance for a second season. I don't think there would be a reason enough to have another season seeing as the other characters weren't really developed well IMO to warrant more. |
| Biba is the villain of the season here. The ed song felt so epic. And the stuff he injected, it drains his life-force? Then why not wait until right before battle to do it, not the night before/still have yet to even leave to go there.? |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
It's about time the series finally showed its potential. It's been absolutely dreadful so far with a lot of the potential lost in the terrible writing and voice acting. If the final episode doesn't really go out with a bang this will be the top of my list for most disappointing series this season. |
| Watching this with a fever and headache wasn't a good idea. Still not as chaotic and random as fuck as Code Geass though. |
| allo |
| know what, I actually don't even want to watch the last episode. dropped. |
 |
| Oh, Ikoma turned into something rather impressive. |
 CONGRATULATIONS |
| Ikoma is going for blood he'll probably die saving Mumei or they both die idk |
 |
Yay, Tanaka and Shiraishi are both in 4th, bonus shiping points... Now seriously, how the heck is Ikoma in first? |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| An ok episode, they are pretty much relying on killing and effects now. As much as I hate to say this, the show did the right thing by having just 12 episodes as it was over-hyped from the beginning. That is one of the flaw of a character-driven series rather than a story-driven one. |
