Until it becomes mainstream, then /a/ will call it an over hyped train wreck.

>>139779811

I like trains but the only media about them are cowboy movies and Thomas the tank engine

>>139779811
It seems to be pretty divisive already. If it ends up being shitty then the threads will probably stabilize since /a/ has the most fun with trainwrecks.
There are 2-3 threads right now and they're all at least half-filled with shitposting.

>>139780150
There's a loli eroge that recently came out that features trains, apparently the writer or director is obsessed with them so there's all sorts of train nonsense in it.
Unfortunately it got picked up by Sekai Project so whenever a TL does come out EOPs will be stuck with censored garbage, if it's even readable.

>>139779811
People have already been doing that since it got announced in fucking 2014. You're incredibly late.

>>139780150
There's also that one PreCure autist who makes elaborate stories about them as trains.

I didn't like SnK but I did kind of like this

I wish we were getting two seasons of this instead

I'm worried about the quality dropping which it probably will by episode 3-4

wouldn't it be ironic if this anime actually turned out to be a trainwreck?

>>139779756
Just saw the episode. Pretty fucking good. The voice acting, animation character designs are neat. The MC don't turning into a Kabemane in the end was bullshit through and also if i were Isayama i would be pissed as fuck cause this is a complete copy paste but with zombies

>>139782535

I think he tricked the virus into thinking the host had died by asphyxiation so the virus just gave up and died too. I'm no rocket doctor but even I know that's bullshit. Eh, it's an anime.

The stupid started racking up pretty quickly during the 'let's do the opposite of our training and shoot the kabane suspect' scene.
I was just like 'Okay okay they're stupid we get it'

>>139784692
The virus didn't die, that much is sure. Just like headless fatty who is going to get up as soon as starting next ep, unless Mumei steps on his heart first.

>>139788456
>but a virus that puts a steel cage around your heart is pretty bullshit in the first place.
This. Even if we accept the MC's assertion that it's actually a disease, there's still some not our universe stuff going on beyond you typical pop-culture zombie. Trying to pick that apart scientifically is fruitless.

>>139785621
in that world? i'd say the on time train

>>139788456
What's bullshit is not that he could stop it but that he seemed to know exactly what to do.
And if you have to stop it reaching the brain, why bother with riveting bits of metal to your arm and chest?
There was no explanation how he knew how to stop the infection. Pretty useful information to have considering that they have fucking suicide bags.
Did no-one think about doing research apart from him?
He was doing research but he was the only one, and it was shown that it was still preliminary and he was mostly doing weapons testing

>>139788545

In the real world it's rare for a train to arrive on time, and unthinkable for it to be early.

>>139785621
Neither because they were expecting the Kotetsujo early after one of its stops got overrun

>>139785474
>could have survived this long
Wasn't it only twenty years? And it sounds like they've been steadily losing stations.

>>139785474
More egregious is the lack of civil engineering foresight in having your train line run straight through the walls into the heart of the station, rather than tangential to it along the walls where an outbreak could be contained.

>>139788602
Good point. I think I could accept "society is rigid" and "better safe than sorry" and the method is unreliable for why they aren't choking infected people in the field, but hopefully they'll explain how the MC knew just what to do.

He also cauterizes his arm for some reason. It's oddly specific all the stuff he does.

>>139788703
>>139785474

>>139788703
Well it certainly explains why stations get overrun all the time. It's not because the zombies are dangerous but because their security designs are laughably bad.
But I guess that's what a noble system does- the people in control seem to be in control due to their birth rather than because they're smart, or responsible.
You'd think a little foresight in that even if you don't care about the plebs you should have them follow better security if for no other reason that it stops zombies attacking you.

I'm generally not a fan of 'everyone is stupid apart from the MC' plots.
Especially ones that give the MC mystical knowledge that no-one else has, like how to render suicide bags obsolete.
Kinda makes the suicide bag scenes meaningless if there's a kid running around that knows how to get away with not needing one

>>139788778
He probably cauterized so the infection in the wound would be gone and would only need to worry about what was already in his body.

If choking himself worked and he didn't get rid of the wound it would have just infected him again.

>>139788840
It's the fat, dumb nobleman trope.
>Bad things don't happen to me because I'm important

>>139788778
All the stuff he does is based on hypotheses to stop the infection from spreading

>cauterize wound for sterilization
oh shit that didn't work it's already spreading
>rivet zombie cure into arm to look like a badass but takes a few seconds to stop the spread
fuck yeah that's metal
>hang self to get some bitching white hair because you're out of hair dye and get off while the cure takes effect
And that's how you stop the kabane curse.

>>139788840
I think the scene where he tries to stop the bushi from executing the guy even when they weren't supposed to is trying to show that most of society just wants the safe and secure route regardless. It also seems like society is run by the bushi and probably not conducive to research. Then again other stations may be different. And I wouldn't say it reneders the bags obsolete if you basically have to be right there in a machine shop when it happens. That process was still the weirdest thing.

>>139788977
Watch closely and you can see that the infection spreads all the way to his neck, then after choking, it just retracts all the way back.

Zombie movies without any basic understanding of how blood transmits pathogens (or magic zombie curses) is not fun.

>infection manifests itself within seconds

They have to be literally retarded to not be able to tell that someone isn't infected just by looking at the wound when they immediately get purple skin and glowing veins

This is the best anime I've ever seen and I've seen my fair share of full length animes.
I'm nearing 40 now and this is by far the best.

>>139789077
That battle is already lost given the metal heart cages. This is not a "realistic" zombie infection.

The only solution that would have made sense would be putting the gun up to his shoulder and blowing his arm off the moment he saw the infection.

But having a society that paranoid about security they sure don't put much thought or effort into security.

"Just look at everyone and jail anyone with a bite, problem solved"

>>139789139
I figured, but surely it would have him when it reaches his heart, right?

All the anitwitter sakugafags hate it already, so that makes it ok in my book.

>>139789149
The solution that makes sense is the one that doesn't leave him crippled. Someone that knows jackshit about the Kabane would take the easy path aka chopping the arm off.

Why didn't they just weaponize suicide bags

>>139789193
No idea. It certainly seems that the brain is involved somehow too. Maybe the infection needs the brain to command the body but the heart can somehow regenerate the body including the head?

>>139789268
They seem to be designed so you use them before the infection armors the heart. They probably wont work on a full Kabane.

If headshots and decapitation are guaranteed kills (or seem to be, considering Mumei's fight) against these monsters, then why is he focused on the heart?

>>139789352
Decapitation probably just temporarily disables them.

>>139789329
A better question about suicide bags is; if they can make gunpowder (explosives they call it), why don't they have gunpowder weapons?
They'd be more powerful than the steam ones.

The bit that seemed to finally stop it was cutting off any circulation to the brain.

I'm sure we'll find out more as the series goes on, but if I had to guess it's that the parasyte either can't survive long in the human body and so it has to reach the brain quickly or it's that it won't infect a brain dead person.

To be fair civil engineering oversights of this nature happen all the time too; if you have no central planning authority and things just organize organically (which characterizes a feudal system on the cusp of industrial revolution pretty perfectly), you'll have tons of failures like this; so it's a more forgivable/justifiable kind of stupid at least, compared to say a science fiction show where you would expect societies to know better.

The thing is in the real world we didn't have to deal with zombie outbreaks testing the boundaries of our civil engineering projects, just mundane accidents like >>139788821

How? The entire show is written to make him look smart by making everyone else look like an idiot. But he's still a giant moron. I was floored when he cuts his arm to lead zombies to him so he can test out his gun. What the fuck kind of plan is that? If the zombies are attracted to blood, why didn't more follow him? What would he have even done if more followed him? Why isn't he dead from blood loss?

Or maybe they are simply working with the infrastructure that was in place before the zombie apocalypse? It's not easy to redesign a train system under normal circumstances.

I would imagine that the stations shown so far are from poorer less developed areas, and the main hub is going to pretty well defended.

>>139791121

It's just a cut on your arm, it's not like he cut a main artery or something. You're not gonna die of blood loss for a cut like that.

It shoots something through your heart before it becomes a Kabane heart.

And the MCs weapon right now is just a prototype that only works stationary. Its not portable.

>>139791938
It may surprise you but there are different type of gunpowder (its only called "gun" in English, which is retarded language), and not all suited for firearms - discoveries of different types were done separately and in different time points.

Of course there were black powder firearms, but until discovery of smokeless gunpowder they were mostly ineffective.

The most "effective" black powder firearms were Chinese rockets with arrows attached to them, or slave one shot rifles that essentially acted as shotguns.

the second time they were expecting

it is stupid but consistent

The animation is top notch, and it's beautiful. The setting is fun, a kind of meiji era steam powered one, and the characters aren't awful.
However, it has dumb things in it required to bring drama to the situation and these annoy the smarter watchers.

I predict this will be a runaway MAL/etc hit because they aren't smart enough to get annoyed by the dumb tropes

>everyone turns/dies after being infected
>MC doesn't

Dropped

Fucking stop defending the second train-fiasco.
They should check EVERY train, regardless of the time of the arrival before letting it into the city. No wonder they are consistently losing stations this way.

>>139793451
This is worse though- it means that it's STANDARD PROCEDURE to just let the train in without stopping first.
All these dumb security failings make you wonder how there are any towns left at all, but at least it explains how they keep falling so quick, they're full of idiots.

But you're also supposed to feel bad for them, like it wasn't really their fault that it happened to them.

>>139779756
Well since comparisons can't be helped I might as well ask. Is this more or less dark than Titan, call me a pussy if you must but there is only so much of killing named characters I can take.

How do the zombies stick to the moving trains? How do they get inside? Do they just bite one of the retards waving their guns through the peeking holes and infect them? I always thought a train would be pretty safe during a zombie infestation

>zombies are strong enough to bend thick plate steel
>store suspect zombies inside wooden cages

THESE FUCKING PEOPLE

>>139793610
They're so strong they can get through the metal if allowed, they severely dented the train in the very first scene

>>139793596
Well in the first episode a train filled with zombies explodes in the middle of town and they run around killing everyone. The MC gets bitten and has to hang himself so the infection doesn't reach his brain. He does survive though, he just has to hang himself long enough for the infection to disappear. So a bit darker than AoT maybe

>>139793610
They're super strong. If you don't shoot them off your train they'll eventually break in and start biting.
The shitty steam guns they have for no reason can't kill them, either.
Not like they don't have gunpowder. The suicide bag works with explosives, and the MC talks about explosives in his experimental gun. Or lack the ability to make early-20th century era rifles.
They could make mosin nagant style rifles and that would work against steel.
The steam guns exist for no reason other than to make the zombies seem stronger.

The people in this world are fucking retarded.

>>139793624
They don't put infected people there because they turn very fast, they just kill them and the prison makes townspeople feel safe

I'll never understand how you people even breathe. It was completely obvious that he was just trying every random thing he could think of to stop the infection, not that he had magical knowledge. Any thinking person would immediately try cauterization and tourniquets to stop the spread of a fleshbourne infection, it's not fucking rocket science. The metal rivets thing was stupid, he should have tried to amputate instead, but even then it's easy to see why he wouldn't.

If you're going to pick at something, try the retardedness of using steam for everything, or the massive security holes in the train stations, or whatever. God damn.

Or maybe it's not trying to portray it as black and white. It's doing the classic "upper class detatched from the working class" thing, which portays people as both deserving and undeserving of what they get. Looking for flaws in everything like you're doing is how you end up unable to enjoy anything. It also makes you look pretentious.

>Definite AOTS contender here.

good one

Everyone is so obsessed with running away that they never actually bothered to create defensive measures that work. They have the three day rule for infections because they have never had an infection. The slightest threat would have destroyed the town and the rich would have run away leaving everyone else to die as the process endlessly repeats

>>139788669

>>139794341

>>139794436
They lowered the drawbridge because the train wasn't stopping.
You have to assume that this was standard practice, and the 'train arriving early' is why the drawbridge wasn't raised, even though early trains should be fairly common in a world where stations end up falling regularly.

>>139794077
If we take the rivets off, will he die?

>>139794428
When you add something to Taiga you're kind of forced to see that. MAL is absolute shit but it's at least useful for keeping track of what you've watched, if you use a third-party program.

>>139794436
The zombies can climb up moving trains. If a random zombie wanted over that wall it was getting over. The only way to stop it would to have guards shooting at it 24 hours a day until it finally gives up and leaves

>>139794331
I really hoped he would cut off his arm and have him one armed for the rest of the show.

>>139794428
There are people on /a/ that go to check MAL opinion to decide if they like something or not.

>>139794361
So he didn't have a saw or suicide bag, or steel-peircing gun, or sharp knife anywhere, but he did have a piece of thick steel exactly shaped like his torso, a strangulation machine, like 50 belts, and his own personal steam riveting machine

That's weird, I keep track of what I watch using RSS feeds.

How is this fag leaping and shit with huge hunks of metal and bolts on his arm and lower back?

>in the beginning of the episode we see the first train come to a halt before the bridge is lowered.
This was the 'arrived early' train. While perhaps not a good excuse, it's a reasonable reason why the bridge would have been up when the train was there- they weren't expected so no-one was manning the bridge, for example.

But that way he wouldn't be Eren 2.0 so we can't have that.

>that's just you buddy.
That's conjecture, I never said my stance, only pointed out that the show isn't trying to paint the humans as pure little lambs.

>>139794393
Touche. I guess this is pretty obviously one of the big shitposting shows of the season.

Well I dunno, maybe because he's a carrier of the virus and it gave him zombie strength and abilities?

>>139794515
he was a tinkerer, he had a bunch of random crap lying around. he obviously jury rigged a solution. Also keep in mind he is in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and people who lose their arms die of blood loss pretty quickly without medical attention.

One armed Ash Williams style would be fine, no steampunk arms please.

Obvious Snk copy. Dropped hard. You faggots will hate it after a few episodes anyway, once it becomes mainstream

>>139794533
When you watch 30 shows in a season because you just enjoy watching anime, it's useful to know where you are in everything. It's also good to know if you watched something in the past, and keeping a text file up-to-date is too much of a bother.

>a steampunk artificial arm
>even better
But that's literally what every other anime do.
Killing zombies with only one arm would be cool.

>>139794596
and it sure isn't trying to paint them as people who deserve to die.

>>139794604
But people who rivet thick pieces of steel to themselves survive just fine. Pretty good for a tinkerer with no cutting implements.

>>139794654
well yeah, as long he he didn't hit like a major artery he wouldn't die immediately at least.

>>139794541
If zombies died from guns he wouldn't need to create a special gun that needs to specifically target the heart.

Right, so it's not black and white. Good to know we're on the same page.

But with all the belts he had, something to stem the blood loss, like a belt would not be available.
He was literally covered in belts dude

Do you suffer from Alzheimer disease?

I bet you're a faggot who gamifies watching as much anime as possible.
