| Well, personally this series looks pretty much quite promising. I am expecting the Tragedy, Human world in some sort of Apocalypse..and Monster that can killed by striking certain Area....Long time since I have seen this kind potential PURE ANIME Show (that is not based on existing Manga or novel. that is trying to Reach quite High. But, I have to admit...this show has quite similar setting it's own way...to Certain Manga/Anime show....Yep...You guys guessed it right..Talking ABout SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN or ATTACK ON TITAN You have to admit that there are lot of similarities...MOnster that can killed only by cutting/Piercing certain area, Protagonist hellbent for Revenge/wanting to Kill monster (Need a confirmation on this.), Humanity have build communities for protection against these monsters....Only exceptions being, Industry Revolution time, meaning more bigger effecting Guns and that these Monsters can infect anyone they Bite...so Somewhat Zombie Apocalypse on top of that? Well, Trailers look awesome and there is a lot of Possible Potential. we will see where this goes. |

| It would be pretty funny if the MC turns into a zombie to help humanity haha. |

forexjammer said: It would be pretty funny if the MC turns into a zombie to help humanity haha. He'll turn into something in-between, sorta half-human and half-zombie. The titular Kabaneri in the title, which is what they called the zombies, is probably the MC. My guess is that this is the controversial part that happened in ep 3 for the people who've watched the first 3 episodes screening. This is not a spoiler as I also haven't watched it yet. It's just what I picked up from the first 3 PVs shown here. |
| Even if it does borrow a lot from AoT I won't factor that into my rating. It's lame that they're not being very original but if the anime is good then I'll give praise where praise is due. |

| Its obviously based on AoT but I also hope it ends being rather different in the end. But who knows, I wouldnt be surprises If this anime is just pure marketing to make people more hyped for AoT season 2 |

| It clearly is "inspired" by AOT.... That might just be a euphemism But if they can do it better, then who are we to judge.... In the end a lot of anime are based on similar plots, just some are pulled off better than others. Did you see that the themes are done by Egoist.... Big fan LOL I really liked the Guilty Crown soundtrack |
I am the scales of justice, conductor of the choir of death! |
| just going with the new trend non-human enemies revenge MC turn's in the enemies somehow I have big hopes for this show p.p even tho it seems it's gonna be a cliche mass pleaser |
| But at least it's not going to be one of those mainstream rom-com ecchi/full of fanservices animes that we're being flooded by lately. We need some serious and deep psychological shit this year, bringing some sort of new trend or fandom. But hey, this is made by people who worked on Death Note, Guilty Crown, Code Geass, FMA and lots of awesome animes. I'm pretty hyped for this, also because of Chelly and Aimer sings for the OP and ED :3 |

Snk is objectively better than all your shitty favorites SnK could've been a better anime. It was just way too overrated. I've been reading the manga and imo it's really original and unique until Eren became somekind of marty stu... but bah, whatever, I don't care, I'm still reading it; I'm curious on how Hajime Isayama will end the series. Back to the topic. Let's wait another few weeks, then we'll discuss whether this anime have the potential to go up through roof or it'll be just a big fire that eventually will die after the hype's been blown away |
| I'll be willing to jump on the hype train as long as the MC doesn't turn out an exact copy of Eren. tragedydesu said: IheartC2 said: whatever happens, this will be better then that garbage....watchimma call it???? ehhhh Attack on Tigers??? oohhh right Attack on Titan. Snk is objectively better than all your shitty favorites @tragedydesu both of you have Code Geass in your favourites.. |
  |
| Being inspired off something =/ being a copy. It's not like Hajime owns and copyrighted the concept of attack of titan, all animes can do the same ( or even go further and be better? ). If we liked attack on titan, then for what reason would we hate another anime that's trying to be as good ? |

| Aside from the obvious stuff; the style seems to emulate AoT a bit with the steampunk-esque weaponry. I know it hasn't been out yet but already with what little we've seen, there is so much similarity that I'm having a hard time seeing the show as more than an attempt to hitch a ride on a particular style that's popular. |

Though, in all honesty, I am puzzled that you dislike SAO in comparison to the other overrated anime that have been mentioned here. Everyone who went to the screenings of the first 3 episodes were satisfied and said that the series doesn't look like SnK so far. You don't like these kind of anime from what I have seen, so SnK it's trash for you not for everyone. The way you tell your opinion is like you are talking in general. Do whatever you want, in fact, I'm not gonna continue this conversation, it's pointless. But it would be good instead of spamming every single kabaneri thread, just tell your opinion in 1 or 2 of them. You know, people don't want to watch the same opinion in like 4 different threads, it's annoying. I don't want to insult you, okay? You have a bad reputation and that's kinda weird 'cause your taste in anime looks kawaii. You should easily become one of the most likeable users in mal, if you express your opinions in a good way. Cause it's different to say "Free is a fanservise trash" with "Free has fanservice something that disappoints me....etc" |

That they share common themes, doesn't make one of them a copy. Stories about humans facing a nonhuman threat are probably as old as mankind itself. That's like saying Snk is a copy of Matrix or Stargate Atlantis. City, that's the last hope of mankind? Check. Protagonist hellbent for revenge/wanting to kill monster? Check.

Happy to see that they just used inspiration instead of straight copy. Enjoyed the episode 1 quite. action, drama and from here n build up starts. Have to agree tough with you..."this is like aot because you have humans living surrounded by man-eating monsters" LOL what the hell? Should we then say same about Highschool of Dead? is this copy of that series, because there is zombies in this, that spread the virus by biting? We will see where the series go, when we get more than 1 episode aired. |

I also think you and other person is missing the big point here, no one is saying snk is original or it brought anything new to the table. What people are sying is that this series got influence by snk, although some just call it a rip off, which I don't agree with. Saying that there's a million anime or shows similar to snk, doesn't negate the fact that this series got influence by snk. For eg. The author of snk was inspired to make snk after playing the muv luv video game, is muv luv original? Nope, but the fact remain is that this specific series is what inspired him, he got ideas from that specific series. Kabaneri is in the same position just like snk was to muv luv. They use ideas from snk and modify it into something different. It's certainly not a rip off imo, but it's similar to snk. Prople just use rip off instead of influence. Is this a reasonable point? Or am I just being a fanboy here? |

It's funny that you said that, because even when I use words like "influence" people like @Fai still denies it, and they would imply that this series got 0% influence from snk, since a million other does the samething. I prefer using terms like "influence" instead of "rip off" because I don't want to look like a snobby snk fanboy. Lol I still think it changes up it's plot enough to not be called a blatant snk rip off. |
keragamming said: Changing the plot is easy, why not having an original mc too? why repeating many situations from snk? Obviously is not exactly the same but still not an original show.
