| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I think the episode was alright, more of a transition after the rough battles and everything. Mumei is much more cheerful and I find the episode rather relaxing with the causal outfits. Yukina is also more kinder than I had expected. Glad to see Ayame take on a bit more of a leadership role as well. Mumei's flashbacks also really seems to make her feel nostalgic with the people around her. Not bad for a breather overall, Mumei seemed much more human like a normal girl rather than a Kabaneri. I find her relationship with Ikoma to be kinda cute. More troops introduced...should be interesting to see how their roles will play out rest of the season.  |
 |
| I feel like this series is much strong in the midst of action- also Yukina is the queen <3 seriously, she rocks |

On the other hand, outside hardcore nobody knows about Kamisama Hajimemashita . MAL ranking useless You're not supposed to take MAL rankings seriously. |

MAL ranking useless Wait until after the show is over to look at the score and even then, only take it with a grain of salt |
| There it is, the obligatory "anime x scores way too low while anime y scores too high even though I have things I don't like about it". You're opinion and the way you see things is simply in the minority and that's pretty much it. You shouldn't give too much of a sh... about MAL rankings anyway. |
Saiz- said: Yes I'm minority I know (all my friend hyped for re zero while I'm just chilling while they talked about it), but still does this makes my point won't stand? Once again I said, I don't think it's bad, heck I even really into Ram Rem going with Subaru and all. I'm just saying, the episodes stretched by far (before saying I'm nitpick, I read the novel and manga and I'm hooked with em). If it's your opinion fine, feel free to see it like that, but if you want to use what you said as an objectively seen statement then there is a lot that the show can bring as counter arguments. From what you're saying I have the impression that you rather have a problem with the adaptation being faithful than the actual content. Anyway, this is the wrong thread for this so let's stop here :) |
| I REALLLLLY hope that they extend the anime at least to 20 episodes, it is SO good so far, and I really don't want it ruined by an incomplete or rushed ending!! |
| Loved the episode, didn't understand much since it's raw at the moment though. Nice to see Mumei act like a kid, I love her relationship and interactions with Ikoma. Almost like a brother-sister sort of thing going on. Also, the OST "Next of Kin" started playing around the start of the episode. I was wondering how they'd incorporate such an upbeat song into the show, but I guess I got my answer. (Also, anybody wanna speculate about the song's lyrics? They're foreboding as fuck and seem to foreshadow Ikoma's death...) Can't wait for next week! |

NoitaminA already released its schedule for 2016/2017 and there is nothing Kabaneri related, meaning that we will have to live with these 12 episodes for at least 1 1/2 years. |
| "NO MORE DES" XD Just gotta love Gaijin-kun Twintail Mumei is back <3 She was so adorable this ep. Acting all childish & innocent and her wish being to eat rice :*). Her name was Hozumi? It's not originally Mumei...? But really can't wait to see if Onii-chan really is that evil? Or is he a morally grey type guy. Takumi's got balls. Loving this guy more and more. Ofc he had the guts to do that because Ikoma was with him tho lol Yukina and Ayame were awesome too. Ayame's eating face was adorbs XD And Kurusu ur such a cute. I can imagine what u wished for with that blush. I actually might be willing to ship with Ayame. Ur not such an ass anymore |

To me it sounded more like the lyrics referred to Ikoma letting go of his sister who is the Shadow in the lyrics while Mumei would be leaving Biba's shadow as well. |
| If we can't get a second season, I at least hope that the manga continues past the ending of the anime. I'd be satisfied with that. |

That is so unfortunate. Hopefully the ending will live up to what noitaminA has put out for Kabaneri so far. Let's pray a second season will be announced sometime in the next 2-3 years! |
| Well, a nice and relaxing episode! Biba's squad looks pro. Btw, l want my reward for guessing Biba's VA (^^) => plus three more episodes! I think the highlight of this episode though was Kurusu. So moe!! |
| The hunters remind me of the survey corps. Wonder if all of 'em are kabaneri.. |
| lol, late because New Warhammer took my attention. Good episode tough..Yep, Knew it from Preview....Tanabata Festival...Wishes for the New Year. ............So Beautiful and Nice Relaxing Episode after all this Horror! X3 Especially when I think that Episodes before the Ending are going to get somewhat Horrible, or they will be seriously shitty situations before it's over.... Loved more Human MUMEI!!! X3 ........Wow....Kajika and Others are ripping these Merchants new one...don't try to Screw them Over....Even Mumei is shocked!!!  [/quote]and Daaamn...that Yukina's Smile...."I am in love"!!! she is really kind though....Sukari should....ah, oh never Mind....he might actually know better what is Easier...if his own Dad actually go same way. So called Ani-sama can kiss my ass..even if we finally meet him officially. ......So..they are Literally Kabane Hunters...and Ani-sama is Titled as Liberator...No wonder Shogun is not liking about this...He gets power when he kills Kabanes and civilians start to like him....Potential threat to his Power as Shogun sees it. ah...and that is thing I was waiting before...Confirmation that Biba is Member of the Shogun's Government/Family......Father is not happy that Son is getting that much of Power and like everybody says...quite similar to the Scout Corps... Here to Hope it continues Longer than 12 Episodes, or that there will be 2nd Season. |

In the previous episode Mumei's flashback was paired with Ikoma's actions of saving her, so I thought she was considering Ikoma as the person, who'd break the laser-beam references to ani-sama and widen her emotional world. |
| Pretty Relaxing episode. I ship Mumei x Ikoma Mah nigga Takumi  |
 |
| What's your wish Kurusu ? ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) I hope Ikoma and Mumei will not join the group of hunters |
| So according to this episode Kabaneri are abnormally good at learning from watching people. WHich actually explains why Ikoma learned so quickly from Mumei as well as why he learned Kurusu's technique as demonstrated this episode. Also I have to say I LOVE the design of this station. It's huge and built so intriguingly. |
| I predict that there will be people comparing the Hunters to the Survey Corps and Biba to Levi. Overall a nice change of pace. This episode really fits into an action-oriented anime. And now we finally have an explanation for the research level. There are people out there who know, how to defeat Kabane despite of their heart protectors. But there are only a few people who are attempting to kill them as it's really dangerous. Even Ikoma's and Mumei's gun don't have an use if the operator is incompetent. |
Re:Zero nice troll ending.  |
| I wonder how they got so easily in there. Isn't it a common process to check everyone on bite marks? Wouldn't two people with glowing Kabane hearts raise a commotion or is the existence of Kabaneri a well known thing? I mean the Hunters probably have some in their rows but still Ikoma is not someone they are familiar with. Welp guess that gets explained next episode probably :) |
| Yay, we got a lighter episode - just in time, constant whining was getting seriously obnoxious. When they shown Mumei's brother, I honestly thought for a second that it was an ugly girl. Something about his design rubs me the wrong way, and it's something other than the fact he's stylized to look like an obvious villain. Expecting the "I'm being a better brother for her than you" approach from Ikoma. The animation quality took a huuuge nose-dive this episode, but hey, it's an episode with no fights and cuts need to be made somewhere. Overall, I'm hoping this show can still recover. It dug itself a deep hole with episodes 3-5 in my eyes, but the last two were decent. We'll see. |

It's nice to have it all connected together at last. Now people don't have the argument that Ikoma learned Mumei's moves too quickly. It also explains why Mumei sucked at explaining it in words when she likely learned from just watching too. |
Sometimes791 said: I predict that there will be people comparing the Hunters to the Survey Corps and Biba to Levi. Exactly my thoughts . But as for this one, there's something fishy about him apparently according to ikoma . May not be exactly the perfect hero people think he is . Overall a pretty good episode and transition from a fighting to a more relaxing atmosphere and lol at takumi's wish . Kurusu's blushing is funny , you don't get to see that side of him much . Ayame , if it's hard to negotiate, use your charm , eh . |

| Really enjoyed this episode even though not much happened other than some back door political shit. Definitely some cute moments for the two female leads though. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Kurusu is quite the maiden lol. Mamo-chan as Biba. Quite fitting. Wings of freedom vibe going on. Looking forward to next week. |
| Good episode. No obvious flaws that i had noticed but i know some people here on MAL will dig something up. And with this episode i can say for sure that the characters in KnK are quite more likeable than the ones in AoT. Even the supposed "blonde asshole" of KnK is cooler than the "blonde asshole" of AoT lolololol (Actually the asshole of AoT is not blonde but who cares really). Also the ships are real..........first i was hoping for Ikoma x Ayame (Cuz Ayame is beautiful S2), but i see that the real ship is Kurusu x Ayame while Ikoma and Mumei obviously have vibes together. WELP, i'm fine with this. |

Re:Zero nice troll ending. |
| They just couldn't go the whole show without showing Mumei's ass. It was nice to see everyone being more optimistic. Ikoma has been a positive influence. Good episode overall. I appreciated the break from the mayhem. 5/5 |

(lack of control etc.) I doubt they will dare doing something like this...........To beggin with i doubt the whole story will be dealt within this 12 episodes. The remaining 5 eps will most likely deal with Onii-sama and probably a big event (like a huge kabane horde invasion or something). Bad plot twists like killing all the MCs usually happen in the final Arc of the whole story, so is defenitely not happening now. |

| Good to see the characters finally getting some rest, at least for a while. I'm loving the relationship between Ikoma and Mumei, I don't care if they become a couple or they reach to something like siblings, just let them be together! LOL I was thinking Ayame was looking worried and sad because she was waiting for too long, but in the end she was wondering if eat those sweets or not. Also, Kurusu can get cute too huh??? that's new.   And finally we see Mumei's aniiki... Ikoma won't lose his gaze from Biba. |

| Oh well Kabaneri learn fast because cool main characters need no training, easy way to power him up without letting much time pass by. Useless conflicts again... There were 2 nice transitions though and an awesome night sky that lasted only seconds in the background. Those vibes between kurusu and ayame, lol. Ikoma is near to becoming a pedo xD |

 |
| thats a calm and relaxing episode for a change lol and that ending, Mumei's so called brother finally made an appearance and Ikoma is determine to find out if he is good or evil |

Well, it woudn't be a story surrounding humans if there wasn't useless conflic. We humans are basically "Useless conflic" the living being. Ikoma will only be a pedo if they don't wait some years to do.......stuff. |

Again I have to point back to the scene in episode 1 where the Kabane that killed that kid's mother started to point at the kid the same way the kid was pointing at it. kabane have a capacity to mimic and we saw that in the Husouyojo when it mimicked the horn call too |
| Has anyone wondered why Ikoma wont get the thing from his neck removed and replace it with something more practical like Mumei's ribbon. I mean if he wants to fight the Kabane at full power, he should be able to do the power up like Mumei does when she removes her ribbon. Has this been explained yet as in why he hasn't attempted to remove it? Just a random thought that popped in my head this episode. |

It's probably very hard to remove given the procedure in which he put it on in the first place. And even with his limiter he's proven to be quite adept at killing Kabane |

| Why must every anime have a Tanabata episode? Now they just need a beach/hot springs episode and a completely unnecessary recap episode and they'll have checked off everything on the pointless episode checklist. |
