>This is so much better than Attack on Titan.

>>139775638
Everyone seems to view the Kanabe as a type of curse while Ikoma views it as a virus so he tried a bunch of shit in a desperate attempt to stop it from spreading in his body.

>>139775747
>writer/creator of Code Geass and directed by Guilty Crown's director
I don't see a problem there. CG S1 had good writing and Guilty Crown's main problem defintely wasn't directing.

The problem is "inspired from SnK" (and obviously Tokyo Ghoul) so I'm leaning more towards "trainwreck" just for this.

>>139775835
So far aesthetically it is, at least. Setting is better, too.

Zombiepiercer looks great

>>139775851
yeah, but why would he need to prevent it from reaching the head when the virus/curse manifests at the heart?

>>139775231
Its a trope as old as shit, something horrible happens and the character's hair turns white, signifying the event changed them as a character both inside and out. Its in the Count of Monte Cristo for christs sake.

>>139775950
Thinking maybe Ikoma was trying to trick it into thinking he was dead or not a suitable host.

Or he's just really into some kinky shit.

>>139775231

This season and last season I tried to watch every anime for listening practice and it makes the good ones just stand out so much more

>>139775231
What really made me roll my eyes was when it became completely obvious that Hiroyuki Sawano was doing the soundtrack. One day, I hope a studio will strive to surpass Attack on Titan if they plan on doing a similar story rather than just meet expectations. So far, it's hard to tell especially when they want this show to sound exactly like Attack on Titan.

But this legitimately looks more thought out than Titan. Namely half because the train setting is kind of unique and also half because they have an episode count to work with instead of an ongoing manga that changes its tune

Taking off the head just stops them for a while, most likely. Probably won't kill them.

He will still use the tsuranuken to kill them, but most likely gained immunity to the virus after reverting it once. Wheter the immunity is full or partial is yet to be seen.

Yeah, that's my main problem with the show as well. But it's probably the first time the Kabane were shown to display human intelligence (at least enough to drive a train) so they must have built on the premise the Kabane were nothing but mindless zombies.

And what, exactly, is your plan for AFTER you blow the bridge? Note that during the opening fight sequence, they were driving through an overrun Station. The idea is that you have the gate to protect against exterior attackers.

That means that if you blow out the bridge, not only are you about to have a serious supply problem, so is everyone else who got something important by way of that line.

>>139777342

Well, then you have to figure out some way to protect the train outside the wall, which may or may not be viable.

Of course, the logical thing to do would be to build a second segment of wall around the station and fortify that, so you can safely conduct inspections without accidentally compromising the main line of defense.

Then have a central citadel and interior walls to make sure you don't lose the whole town in one fell swoop. Gate houses should have encloses where people can be packed in semi-safety while pulled out through a sort of airlock assembly (two doors that open one at a time) for inspection to minimize losses while preventing the KanAIDS from spreading.

The gate houses would double as secondary strong-points (in addition to the main citadel); high walls to slow climbing, sloped slightly outward with clear fields of fire and without buildings in very close proximity to minimize jumping hazards. The crenelations would include overhead cages, and each gatehouse would have one or more centralized boulders to provide MORE POWER to the steam guns of the men on the walls, allowing a higher rate of fire as well as potentially larger weapons.

Grapeshot was made to kill or main sailors inside a ship of with a thick hull of strong oak; even if it couldn't kill a Zombie, the thing is a much smaller threat after you've destroyed its arms and legs.

Cauterization and/or sterilization. He referred to a virus at one point and mentioned it 'not being a curse' at least twice, so the disease is presumably some kind of viral vector.

The Cauterization would cut off blood flow to the site of the infection, the heat would kill whatever was still in the area, and the steam-powered bondage rig was a sort of full-body tourniquet to slow the spread of the virus and give his immune system a fighting chance, and also secure him if he did turn.

WHO DOES THAT!?

They wouldn't have this problem if they were to force a train to come to a complete stop THEN decontaminate THEN allow into the city.

Kabane have something like an iron casing around their heart so Ikoma's gun is strong enough to pierce the casing and go straight out to the other side. I imagine Ikoma was just trying a bunch of shit in an act of desperation and cutting his circulation to his brain ended up working.

>>139778617
MC mentioned it was virus, said he needed to stop it from reaching his brain, and when he found the heart at the station he noted the carotid artery was enlarged causing him to believe the virus passed through it on its way to the brain.
The idea that he was taking measures to slow/kill a potential viral infection is both the simplest and most reasonable explanation for his actions.

>>139779011
The virus turns people into boiling zombies with metal hearts and your taking issue with how quickly it disappears after a failed infection?

Ikoma is so not a catchy name.

Well, the blood loss would be at least one; having a hole in your heat is bad, and opening enough blood vessels in your arm to purge it is going to be... also bad.

Then there's introducing high temperature steam to your chest; enjoy scalding burns on the entire inside of your thoracic cavity. If that doesn't kill you, the sudden over-pressure in the heat probably will...

On the thermal note, you'll also raise your core body temperature quite a bit, as well as fill the air with water vapor; that might cause you to die of heat stroke, which is technically a different mechanism than massive internal burning.

So five general ways. It really is an awful idea.

>How is my post (the one with the question) Frodoposting?

you are a retarded little kid that has never experienced or known anyone who has experienced any kind of extreme hardship or stress.

Stress can lead to grey hair, even in young people, and its a common literary device in both eastern and western literature. Blood shot eyes are also a common thing both in the real world and gets exaggerated in eastern and western story telling.

Or the stress of the situation could have generated a swarm of free radicals in her hair follicles, which traveled along the hair shafts, destroying pigment and creating a bleaching effect.

Not exactly the same, but as a kid I was pretty sick.

>>139780789
hey, I actually read an article about this topic some time ago since I was curious myself.
It said that while it is true that stress can cause your hair to go gray, it's only the new hair that grows from then on, once a pigment is set in the hair it can't be drained back into your body, as it's basically dead cells

Another thing that happens is that during stress a lot of hair tends to fall out so it seems the areas turn gray quicker

SnK did not inspire most of those things, some of them even started before SnK.
Also, Muv-Luv is a direct inspiration to SnK, there are tons of parallels there. Isayama even drew fanart of a TSF fighting against a titan.

I do think people are retarded if they don't see the similarities between Eoten and Kabaneri, but most of that is probably due to the studio and staff rather than them being a knockoff. It's pretty obvious its main inspiration comes from zombies, it's pretty full of Western zombie tropes.

>>139781219
I agree with you mang. I'm gonna pick this show the fuck up after seeing that webm.

Why the fuck does every series from Japan do the 'THESE THINGS WILL FUCK US UP, OH GOD A SINGLE ONE IS A DANGER!!!!'. God Eater did it. Now they kill HUNDREDS at a time and don't give a shit.

At least in SnK, they were a threat when approached with normal shit. Cannons were still meant to be effective if you could get the head shot but the gas systems were just more efficient than missing 300 cannon shots per titan.

This seems to be stupid in that trained soldiers with guns can't even kill a single zombie and the girl with some steel sandals can kick through one of the zombies heads with no effort when it took 5 years of research and design on a SPECIFIC short range weapon to even kill one while putting the user at extreme risk since it only takes 1 nibble to get fucked.

When will Japan bother to make something LIKE this where the monsters maintain their threat level throughout the series regardless of the protags?

I'm going to go out and say it that the MC is now immune to the virus and that girl has the same thing as well, since the guy seems to have noticed something off with her and she removed her ribbon when she defended herself.

>>139779643

Better than God Eater's army of 'genocide tier monsters' that happen to fall down the moment they are attacked by anything. Japan doesn't do intimidation well. Their writing is just shitty in general for anything based on light novels or previous ideas.

>>139779808

He said he had to cut off bloodflow to his brain. I'm guessing that the virus increases bloodflow and muscle feed so they are lurbo fast and strong once it infect someone while brain fucking them. MC just cut off his blood flow to his head with the choke and machine to make sure it didn't reach before it burned out.

While I do think that scene was pretty well done, even if people will shitpost about the asphyxiation, he was in a life or death situation.
Still, I didn't expect him to nailgun himself. It seems like the anime will be a bit brutal which is refreshing, since these sort of shows are usually big advertisements for buy the BD, but I didn't notice any overt censorship here. It's definitely inspired by zombie flicks which are rife with this sort of violence.

I was expecting him to cut his arm off. The series of things he did made no sense, choking seemed viable if you assume blocking the bloodflow prevented it from reaching the brain, but if that was the case then why tie a burning piece of wood to his arm and staple a metal strap to his shoulder?

It was spasming. If you cut off someones head, their body STILL twitches after.

It didn't get up and attack her or try to walk off. It's dead.
Headshots and heartshots work but both are specific and hard to do with single shot rifles and even being in melee where you have a good advantage is ultimately dangerous unless you are the MC.

>>139778292
They used the horn I believe. The kobanis clearly are smart enought to use the horn, or maybe the guy using it still had a little bit of conciousness, and wanted to get in out of fear?
They check the people on the train anyway.

>>139782807
Yeah the only problem I had is that the first train was stationed and needed to wait before the gate went up, but of course when shit goes south they had already opened the gate willy nilly before it had even gone through. They were asking for trouble.

Of all the things that could have bothered me in the first episode, it was the typical Sawano soundtrack.

Thats his style. Even if hipsters dislike it Sawano has his own way to create music and no other composer sounds like him. And yes, his works sound similar but the same can be said about Iwasaki, Kajiura or any other composer.

>>139783520

Eh, they already had a weapon that worked, even if it was shit. The society is pretty heavily Japanese, and their weapons tech in general changed fairly slowly.

>>139783693

Its pretty clear it doesn't. He even says they're not strong enough to pierce the enemies heart. Seems like the only thing they're good for is knocking them off moving trains

>>139783166
>Marie Antoinette Syndrome

Guy in my high school had a lock of white hair from a scalp wound.

>>139783735

And inflicting gross trama. Remember, while a mission kill isn't as good as a catastrophic kill, it still keeps you alive.

Plus, MC-kun was collecting Kabane hearts from the undercarriage of the train, implying that they had some way of reducing them to a post-functional condition.

Also, they mention that the Kabane have an iron cage protecting their hearts. This is important, because iron =/= steel, and is a broadly inferior armor material. English longbows, for example, could pierce much of the armor of their day; the exception being the heavy plate made of high-quality and properly heat-treated steel, which was often face-hardened and angled to deflect arrows.

Repeated steam gun shots could be used to put down a disabled corpse.

There's no way they can keep this level of detail for the entire show, especially not someone with WIT's production track record. The fact that Amazon Prime streams look like garbage isn't helping either.

>>139782913
they expected the second train, they were surprised when the first train was incoming and were all confused

>>139784799
Betting it will start falling apart next episode. Probably used most of the budget to pull people in with the first.

>>139785199
People already watched up to episode 3, no notorious quality drop. And I bet it wont happen AT ALL.

>>139783166
yeah but in only a couple of seconds?
i know its real but it doesn't work that fast

I had that problem too, I solved it by downloading a different source video.

>collecting Kabane hearts from the undercarriage of the train
>implying

I think getting hit by a fast moving steam train is what killed those kabane senpai. I also think that's an easy way to reduce someone to a post-functional condition, didn't you see that the train was covered in bloodstains?

That's funny because that means AoT took the most compelling part of Muv-Luv Alternative and made bank off it.

Meanwhile every Muv-Luv spinoff that gets animated focuses on entirely the wrong elements of the series and sells like shit. How'd they fuck this up so bad?

>>139777380
Dude, I've been in the Mayoiga threads from the very beginning. Call it shitposting if you want, but people seem to be genuinely enjoying the experience in those threads even if they think the show is stupid. Those threads are way more civil and fun.

Kabaneri has been people just endlessly hating or lovign it from the get go and the threads are pretty toxic with people more interested in nit picking things that are actualyl explained in the show or wouldn't reasonably be explained in the first episode. This is contrasted with actual reddit/mal tier retards on the other end praising it in broken texting english.

It's later in the night now so things have calmed down a bit.

Mononoke hime had that mix of gunpowder plus lots of metal and fire plus more traditional japanese clothing. Both are heavily inspired by the style and culture of the Sengoku period.

How come the virus spread so fast on the MC when it supposedly should take 3 days for it to take effect?

>>139786329
Because it doesn't take 3 days? The whole prison system is just a way for the powers that be to silence any opposition.

>>139786329
Virus don't affect everyone in the same way, look at the priest for example.

>>139786538
It's more visual information. How is this not detail? Whether it was a good decision or not is up to you.

>>139775617
It's just steampunk zombies.

>>139786687

Are people really shitting on this show? I think it's pretty fucking cool. Reminds me of snow piercer but with steam punk and zombies.

>>139775950
Because clearly the virus manifests in the brain.
Pay attention to the zombie the girl decapitates near the end, it stops moving.

Protagonist is probably gonna be half zombie or some stupid shit now.

I'm expecting MPI and Whittaker to come out of nowhere with a song as cheesy as "IF YOUR ROSING YOUR WAY YOU NEED SOME PROTECTION BLACK TAR IT GETS YOU WHEREVER YOU GO." Also bad German by Cyua.

the exposition in this show is fucking cringeworthy

This is Mumei right? so it seems the Kabane's power can be harnessed.

Who the hell is this grill anyway, all the shitstorm and she treat it just like another day in the park.

>>139779182
Sure. Just blow out the bridge.

>>139789390
And how do you think they would do it?

>>139789709
They have gunpowder anon.

>>139781294
There are no zombie viruses in real life

>>139789739
But do they have way to set up explosive materials and fire it in right time?

>>139789810
They have highly volatile portable steam engines with hoses. Of course they can make wick wires.

>>139789849
hell they could just make a mechanical spark igniter, you can operate mechanical things like that from a distance

I'm confused. How did choking himself off stop the zombie bite?

>>139788287
I want to fuck Mumei

>>139790252
the zombie bite was already stopped, they just added choking as a plausible filler piece

>>139790252
he's into that and his boner defeated the zombie within him in single combat.

>>139790480
No he stopped bloodflow to the brain and had it all go into his dick instead.

His johnson is now trapped in an iron kabane cage.
