We saw that last episode ffs Remember Ikoma got bitten and become a Kabenari it's likely that his sister became a Kabenari as well and even if Ikoma does that we're not sure what can kill a kabenari. My proof is the visual in the Opening look closely in the scene where Ikoma is on the train tracks he saw his sister turned around and it became Munmei there are plenty of hints that tell us that Munmei is Ikoma's sister. I honestly doubt Mumei is his sister but there might be some connection here.  |
Personally 70% I agree with you... though I'm still enjoying this episode than previous :D hahaha and preview of ep5 says: Mumei starts to get along well with people on the train. |

You don't have to agree with me 100%. Everyone has different tastes which is something most people here can't understand apparently. |
Thanks for the translation. Is that all? xD So what about the part where he says "point out"? |
   |
What I understand from her explanation is wazatori is stronger. because he gained a lot of experiences from battles. I think it means kabane has some intellectual/instict that make them evolve/strong. I see a barrel behind him with "kayaku (explosive)" written on it. :) |

though I understand what he says, my english is not good. so I will bring you translation from reddit: |

This episode female warrior blows herself up, the whole side of the train is gone...? I'm seeing a lot of continuity issues just with this. And what's with mumei's explanation of the wazatori: yes they can fight now cause they have experience. And yes let's just take a nice break on top of the train in the open when they've just survived a kabane attack. Do these people fear nothing or just lack common sense. Did you seriously also miss the explosive barrels behind the guy in this episode? I have to wonder if you actually watch these episodes with your eyes open |
I dont think it's a spoiler - if you think it's spoiler than it is official spoiler- . though it's may be impolite if I post it here while there is discussion there. I just answer what people ask and just reply what people said with what I have. :) |

Didn't see that topic lol sorzz But aren't previews usually at the end of most anime? I think posting a preview is ok. Besides, it wasn't a major spoiler anyway. @Andes-Chucky - Thanks for the translation! :D |

| Overall a fun episode, definitely better than the last one, but still kinda disappointing. The energy in this show is awesome but not enough, it's severely lacking the tension that made AOT so enjoyable for me. |

I mean ffs the second major battle they actually manage to take back the town using a giant boulder to plug the hole. That kind of thing would not work against Kabane. Once the station is breached, it's over. |

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to put it together. Suicide bag alone = small concentrated blast on the heart Suicide bag + Barrel with substance x = BIG explosion translates as something in that barrel was explosive. Only people desperate to find something wrong with the show would jump to the accusation of lack of consistency. |
| Something most people haven't apparently commented on. Kurusu and everyone's reaction to the Wazatori. It seems those who have been stationed inside a station don't know what a Wazatori even is since they are so shocked by the one in this episode. Yet Mumei clearly knows what it is and what it was called once again adding to the fact that she is definitely part of a group that knows a looooot more than the civilian factions like the Bushi steamsmiths and villagers. |

Thanks. :D |

| This was incredibly boring and sleep inducing, whole episode was more or less fast paced action which I already had enough of in the last few episodes. I honestly feel that this show doesn't need such extensive action scenes with overblown hype Sawano music, which I'm incredibly desensitized to, especially when the fights are just empty hype and zero emotional impact, and immediately needs some kind of story to drive it forward, because so far the only thing driving the show is literally the train and zombie battles which is really... uninteresting. And dull. I'm not entirely sure what kind of purpose this vampirism thing will serve, will it be to show more dramatic scenes of finger licking while the girl is in sweet sweet pain to create "hype" or is it to just give the zombies a unique trait which is kinda dumb or will it actually do something interesting with it, though now that I'm writing this and thinking, I'm really unsure what interesting can you do with this dumb idea. |

| That was awesome. Can't wait for the next episode. |
  |
| So, when a sophisticated train in the modern era hit a pebble it derails but in this episode we see a Edo era/steampunk train hitting a freaking rock and only ''jumping''? Seriously, this show lacks so much consistency, it simple ignore the basics and put little to no logic and hardly explain anything. |

This show tried, a lot, but missed in a lot of things that should be adressed, like the amputation thing. |

Fappa said: 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 That was the other part of the ED song ninelie. Maybe the 2nd verse onwards. |

| Villagers lighted a huge fire in middle of zombie territory, blame kabaneri's because zombies showed up. Supposed to be leader gives master keys to some random as*hole and his bunch of hobos because reasons. Deep mystery how those idiots survived this long. |
| Wow that was incredible. First of all, I thought the first few episodes were already superb, but this episode brought it to a whole new level with wonderful action complimented by the godlike OST and the beautiful ED song to end things up. Secondly, the visuals were eyegasmic and awesome, it's seriously like movie quality. Thirdly, the directing was really good and there were many great shots with great composition, like the shot when Ayame was offering blood to Ikoma and the light was shining down on their hands like it was embodying a ray of hope exists for them. Fourth of all, this episode progressed the story really well, giving great interactions between the main cast and developing them, whilst also making the Kabaneri now more trustworthy and important to the people - not being doubted anymore. Glad Kurusu was also finally becoming more trustworthy to them. Lastly, big laughs at people who still compare this to SNK. |
Sukebe14 said: Supposed to be leader gives master keys to some random as*hole and his bunch of hobos because reasons. Even the shallowest of social knowledge can explain that. Himesama is not cut for a leader yet, she had no way to calm the mob mentality and succumbed to pressure so that the conflict didn't scale (althought they did a dumb thing in the end, but that's the consequence). The mob mentality blames the Kabaneri because they are not humans. It's Jojo tiers of social science. |

| Er, how on earth is Kurusu not dead from being stabbed like that? |
| Aside from them being yet again put into solitary confinement, I'm surprised there were no other punishments for Ikoma being caught in the act of trying to eat / bite Ayame. They already didn't trust them, and Ikoma was caught red-handed having no control over his state. Surely they would have lopped his head off right then and there. Ah well. Entertaining nonetheless. They've shown that even mindless Kabane can actually learn and develop, so it should also make it apparent to everyone else that the Kabaneri have a greater control of their own faculties. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
danieltortoisee said: Er, how on earth is Kurusu not dead from being stabbed like that? He wasn't really stabbed in anything vital |
| Really good episode, The action scenes were gruesome as always, Love it. Some of the people in this train are so pedestrian that they really annoy me with their prejudice against the Kabaneri, Actually felt happy when some of them got killed by the Kabane. The dual wield Wazatori was awesome, Those nimble movements were really cool, It got taken down quite fast by Ikoma though. The Blood contract scene was nice. Looks like the main Koutetsujou group was finally formed, Was pretty relieved when they accepted the Kabaneri's help, Hopefully this tones down the prejudice against them. |

| Epic episode and action I want more gore |
And who are you to decide that exactly? Just genuinely asking |
| To those who gave this series a 10/10, I can't blame you. I can talk about how great the music, action, etc is but, I think the characters are also very on point. Even minor characters like Takumi and Sukari are given screen time to flex out their potential. Then, there's the main characters who are strong mentally and physically, yet they continue to develop and grow even further as the series progresses. And oh boy, how wrong I was when I thought Ayame was going to be a weak character in episode 1. |

IT was there in bits even when she was questioning what her father had told her about protecting the peace. Glad to see that wasn't just hopeful thinking~ |
| Mumei and Ikoma are so badass |
PedroBV96 said: Another piece of retarded thinking came out in this episode. That group of idiots said that they should move for a road, that Ayame claims that is vast of hills and the possibilities of any Kabane attack will be majors than if they go for the other road. But no, we're gonna go by this road because it's the shortest road to their destiny. And what happend? Exactly what Ayame advised. !FUCK LOGIC! And I thought this was about a zombie apocalypse, but now it's shown that they needs blood for recharging energy. What is ths now? Pseudo-vampires?. And of course, we know now that there differnt kinds of Kabanes. Obvious reference to Attack on Titan. This show turns more and more retarded with each episode released. different types of enemies is not something attack on Titan patented you know. Stop being childish. |
sn3akyk1d said: zal said: Yes, for most people it is the anime of the season, for now. Why? The characters are generic and lack depth (angry green skin, angry kaneberi racist, mikasa, stupid girl in charge), the story seems like a ripoff and the actions of the characters so far have been unbelievable and illogical. Some of the scenes make absolutely no sense, on the train why did they have to stop travelling when in the tunnels when there was clearly at least walking room, why would the keys to an obviously very valuable train be given to random mob member to run instead of the daughter of one of the towns. Also in the latest episode the animation which was previously pretty good dropped a fair amount, I can't understand why this is so highly rated. The characters are perfectly alright, it's not like we're swimming in deep multifaceted and dynamic individuals in anime so I think you're asking too much of an action show. This isn't trying to be the next Ghost in the shell, it's trying to be an epic action ride and so that's the standard you will hold it to. The story is pretty typical for any action, fighting, survival show, AoT doesn't have a monopoly on a group of people fighting monsters to save their lives. Everything isn't a 100% consistent but calling the show "unbelievable and illogical" is a bit rich from someone who rated Steins;Gate, Bakemonogatari and FMA:B 9/10 because those shows certainly doesn't require a good chunk of suspension of disbelief at all. Speaking of being illogical, you seem to have rated several shows/films that haven't even been released yet. I suppose you're one of those that make up your mind beforehand and then rationalize your position as an afterthought, that does seem to be a common theme among critics of this show. Reality check: we are 4 episodes in and the show isn't perfect, but calling it bad before we're even halfway through is rash. The show hasn't been bad so far. |

It still got ways to go before it catches up to your level of retardation though. Those elders were scared and wanted to take the risk of an attack to arrive sooner. What, can't an anime show people making incorrect decisions anymore without the whole show being branded retarded? In the first episode of FMA:B (your personal 9/10) many people mistake Alphonso as the famous fullmetal alchemist even though that is 'gasp' incorrect, what a stupid fucking show that entire series is simply because of a portrayal of that believable mistake -or not. You thought this was about zombies despite there never being such a claim from the writers? I guess you were wrong, end of story. And of course, we know now that there differnt kinds of Kabanes. Obvious reference to Attack on Titan. No it's an OBVIOUS reference to Lord of the rings in which there are several different types of Orchs. How can you not see that? This show is a bit stupid but the retarded rubbish that pass for critique in these threads is a whole other level of failed brain processing. |
