Back then, I defended the whole series, from Episode 1 until 4. And now how the thing goes?
This what we called "Culture Shock". This is like a spin-off of Attack of Titan, an apology or filler to their ridiculous production time of producing AoT series. Until decided to delay more until it goes 2017.
"Culture Shock" is what we called, different ideology but similar meaning. Titans replaced to Kabane or Zombies. 3D Manuever Gear replaced to Air gun and Trains, and don`t get me wrong since their Idea of bringing train is really great idea.
The main problem lies when the arc of Biba and that is the falldown of the whole series. I repeat. The whole series. The powerful character, what is it.... Mumei, she strong and more powerful than Ikoma, but she treated like a simple minded idiot character. Ikoma in other hand, simple but reminding Mumei as her sister. Yeah? Brother and Sisters? Is this the best "Kabane Story" they can come up with?
Art design and sound was the only thing that nails it, and reminds me how great the animation was since Attack on Titan was.
Character? Yes you will remember Ikoma and Mumei, but not others. Ikoma as i mention back then, he was "Simple Minded", like what Takumi said so. Mumei in other hand, Strong but Idiot. Other character like Kurisu, a "Simple Minded" also, act as bodyguard Ayame. And lastly, Ayame "Fine Lady". Who controls the key of the Iron Fortress. The main issues of character is because they are skipped and underutilized. Like Ayame knows Archery skills back in Episode 1 only.
Overall. I'm very disappointing to see the most hyped Anime gone rogue.
And from series 24 minutes to 22 minutes in Ep 11 and 12 also remains unknown.
Is it bad to watch? No. Its a Mixed bag ride. This is Michael Bay Japanese version, but extremely weak executions, that begs the question : since when did this happen?
