| Isn't the mentality of the background characters just a bit too convenient for the plot? I mean they just happened to believe that the "almighty" 'Biba the Liberator' is easily captured, restrained and a walking pet for Ayame. Conveniently nobody heard their loud 1 on 1 conversation revealing "the script" The haircut scene reminded me of the scene from Avatar last airbender when Aang cut his hair before the invasion or something. Forgive the negative and sarcastic attitude but "I can't wait to see what surprise the trainwreck has in store for us in the next episode finale!" |
 |
| Wait so people are actually watching this for the story/plot/writing? I'm mainly watching for the visuals, the battles, the zombie steampunk setting, the over the top music, and transformations like at the end (which reminded me of the first episode) and I'm enjoying myself immensely |
| Well, next week is the last episode. This was one of my favorite series for this season. I hope some of my favorites don't die and some of my favorites to die will die. I like Ikoma's new hairstyle. |
| 臭い- |
| Ikoma's transformation was epic with the great OST, but his reaction before the transformation was so predictable. It was so cliché, I think this is the major issue of Koutetsujou no Kabaneri. Only one more episode, I wonder how they will end the anime. |

Only one more episode, I wonder how they will end the anime. the whole scene was certainly predictable. you can pretty much call how the final episode will roll out too... I can forgive predictable plot if the show makes me feel hype, of course, but KnK fails there too. Most of the time I just want Ikoma to get on with this shit. Ikoma's new design is too over the top for me. I can't feel anything. |

His new form is like if it was totally became a Kabaneri, but I'm sure he will control his power easily... And why did he need to cut his hair ? The thing that I wonder, is how they can finish the anime with only one episode remaining ^^ |

BLmatsu said: Seinen/josei could have lighter themes. But you definitely would not find the reverse. :/ (As in something that would be allowed in seinen/josei, you would not find it in shounen/shojo. there are certain things like that) Except there is plenty of brutal or serious manga that are shounen. The thing is that demographics are meaningless these days and in discussion of western fanbase only used as shitposting. |

| Was I sleeping on the whole serie or we realy didn't get any answers where did the kabane mess came from? Was just a show to defeat Biba? I hope then it will get a 2nd season at least... |
I'd expected more from kongokaku actually since they were always referring to it throughout this anime until yet. On the other hand they've displayed the wrong shogun. Shoguns have to be like this :  |
 |
| Biba's background was way to rushed, sadly. I think he could have been a good character if not for that. But damn that ending is pretty damn hype, especially the new form of Ikoma. |
 |
| Ikoma goes into depression after Takumi die and Mumei leave him, basically he was just willpower, if he lost this..., well, Biba caused a great misfortune again and Mumei keeps giving me angry, but now the protagonist got up and left to save her Only one episode missing for Kabaneri the Iron Man, or nearly so, Ikoma really reminded me of this character, I'm looking forward to the fight in the last episode, I think it will be an intense confrontation, also I hope to flee a bit of cliché finals and surprised me positively .. |
  |
| Shogun stupid af. Last scene was badass though corny. Gave me chills too. |
"Vaut mieux se suffire à soi que finir assoiffé dans le monde des apparences."  |
This is very true. The Shogun isn't the brightest, and he's a total asshole. That's a problem with the show. Not that he's an asshole, but that we never knew how much of a dick he was before. If we did, then maybe we'd understand where Biba's coming from, albeit, obscene actions do go way beyond his reasonable reasoning. As for the final part, while not normally something that would be entirely badass in its own right, the amazing visuals and pefrectly matching OST dome by Aimer, really sell this moment as legitimately hype. Now, let's see if the finale can live up to the hype. |

No, I'm talking about people who use buzzwords like "shounenshit" and at same time love Aria or Yotsuba&. |
|
| I called it. Ikoma really got some bad-ass powered up. Everyone could see it for miles.... I miss the excitement of the waiting for next Kabaneri's episode. But now it's like I just wanna watch the last one and be done with it. |

Moridin17 said: I'm confused as to Ayame's endgame. Is her plan really help Biba exterminate the rest of humanity so that, best case, her remaining people all starve to death on the train? Because that's how things were always going to go if the plan was a success. Everytime you question this anime you have to calmly think this to yourself: Phoebe3315 said: This show isn't meant to be taken very seriously. MC consciently almost committed suicide on the first ep to try his new untested weapon in a unsafe place AND then when bitten, totally had a plan not to turn into a Kabane How is this not going full potato since the start? |
| Pretty much meh... the characters are so bad that I don't feel anything for them. Ikoma's transformation was so cliche and I'm not in the least a bit hyped about the final episode. Let this series end. |
| ok :p |
smoct_ai said: SimplyKairi said: First off, I hate Biba with for the shit he's done but let's be honest this man deserves evil genius of the year award. His plan has been absolutely flawless so far and well executed. Second, I'm loving Ikoma's new look fucking gorgeous Third, that ED song <33 His plan has been absolutely flawless so far and well executed? No boring Joke plz. His plan depends on many assumptions. 1) His father will take a notice of the knife for sure which was given to Biba years ago. 2) And Nobody except for his father will not hold of the Knife handle, but his father will take hold of the knife handle himself. 3) and It will happen before his father kills him. 4) and all these events will happen in a place where he can use a louder speaker in order to arouse panic and fear among the people in the fortress. 5) and he would be able to untie the rope in a somewhat magical way. Biba was really lucky, since his plan won't work if any of those assumptions had not been met. You're missing the purpose of his plan.. His plan was to simply infect his father's entire domain and bring it to its knees. Which could've been done in many ways. All he needed was to infect one person it didn't matter who. The showdown with his father was just dramatic effect Biba could've easily burst in with his army and produced the same effect |

 Ikoma looking STEAMY AF with his new haircut! <3 I just wish he cut off those white bangs too, they look annoying. Speaking of hair, I though Kurusu's hair would be silky smooth, not spiky. xD SimplyKairi said: smoct_ai said: His plan has been absolutely flawless so far and well executed? No boring Joke plz.

Regardless of who touched the blade handle, it would still cause some chaos although not the much if it wasn't the shogun. |

| LOL Ikoma turns into the Black Prince from Prince of Persia-Two Thrones Only diff. is while in the game, there was a chain like in Prince's left arm while Ikoma has his gun (?) attached to his left arm (?) |

Fappa said: No trying to start that discussion again but somehow I think that's pretty funny. You can see that both are done by the same director and mostly the same staff. I think they are deliberately trying to make similar scenes. Like the one in which the Black Smoke breaks the wall. It was almost similar to the one in which Armored Titan broke the wall in SNK. There are lots of other examples too. |

Barbara-chan said: Was I sleeping on the whole serie or we realy didn't get any answers where did the kabane mess came from? Was just a show to defeat Biba? I hope then it will get a 2nd season at least... Many zombie shows/movies don't give an explanation or precise answer about the zombie's origin. They are mostly about surviving and keeping as much humanity as possible along the way. In this case the first half was about being on the run and searching for a save haven. And the second half was about Ikoma's group against Biba and his men. A character, who lost basically every semblance of humanity ages ago. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Ikoma lost out everything thing, his friends and his family.. Will he die after he save mumei or will it be the other way around.... last episode to go |
 |
| the writing and directing is so bad. i can't believe how bad it has become. |
simo000 said: the writing and directing is so bad. i can't believe how bad it has become. Yeah it became pure shit. I knew I should had dropped it when they showed her brother at the end of episode 7. So I just watched 4 episodes the MC is so emotional it annoys me. They literally copying the worst parts of AoT. Funny thing is Biba has a good reason to destroy everything. While the MC is a soft piece of shit. |
| No, you dipshit. Wait until you get there before taking the drug that will kill you. |
 |
| Well, I rather enjoyed this episode a lot. The show was getting kind of boring. This episode had me so excited. Finally got to see Ikoma in his badass form. Depending on how this last episode rolls out, it might become my favorite anime of this season. |
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 |
| Are the MCs invincible or something? This is quite absurd. I was literally saying 'Well...err...okay...' through most of it |
| I can't wait for the next episode i hope ikoma will smash biba!!!!!!!! |
