So the reason he didn't became Kabane in Ep 1 might be that fucking talisman as well. Fucking ruined his character. Just imagine how much better this show would be if Ikoma overcome everything with his engineering skill and will.

I agree. The whole black blood thing seemed a bit tacked on and ultimately pointless. Why couldn't he have just attached the gun to his arm + some sweet engineering fuckery that suprised people and allowed him to get the jump on them?
>Mumei gets encouraged and forgiven for killing TWO FUCKING CITIES
She was manipulated. She's 12.

A real hero. A real human being.

He knows he can kill.

Was biba a bibaneri too?

>>143526388
I don't see why people have such a hard time understanding Biba's character. He hates weakness and fear, and he saw the cities the people built, especially the capital, as bastions for the weak and fearful. He wanted people to stop fearing the kabane and follow him, otherwise they were worthless to him and should just die. That's why he fucked with Ikoma by killing Takumi, he was testing him. When Ikoma came back after getting thrown off the train, he chose to fight him to prove to himself that his beliefs were right. During the fight scene, he realizes that Ikoma is stronger than him. He even has a momentary flash of fear. When he goes to stab Ikoma in the back while he's dazed and blinded, he realizes he is acting like a coward. He saved Ikoma because he wanted Ikoma to kill him, since that was the only way he could keep believing that the strong live and the weak die.

alot of ppl compare this with the likes of guilty crown and attack on titan, calling it shit and what not, but considering it only had 13 episodes instead of 24, i'd say they did a pretty good job putting everything together, it's the hype that killed it, not the anime itself

>>143527239
Which is also why is was so shaken when he thought he'd beaten Ikoma. He couldn't accept that he, a self admitted coward, could defeat Ikoma, a fearless man, as it would disprove his core beliefs.

>>143527289
It's a fucking rock. There is no greater meaning. Ikoma was just baiting because he had finally lost his sight and only had one shot at the kill.

>>143527065
Yeah part of that might be because of preparation for snk season 2 and their OVA later this year. WIT is really overburdened.

Say what you will about the anime as a whole, but this is a second 10/10 ending this season along with Cerberus. It's so rare the nips are able to end an anime properly without either going full retarded or over-explaning. This resolved what it needed to.

Overall this show is a solid 8/10. Very enjoyable. Would be my AOTS if Kuromukuro wasn't a thing and Biba had been less one dimensional.

>>143527434
>my only gripe here is that they could have made the show more about the Kabane instead of an internal conflict

They could have, but did you really expect it to? Zombie story always flip-flop between the danger of zombies and internal conflict because no matter what, Zombies are simplistic enemies that can't remain dangerous once they are solved without internal conflict giving them an opening.

Every single zombie story every does this.

I guess they could have taken the route where Kabanes grow more and more powerful and complex over time (like with that swordsman one) but in that case the story ends up even more straightforward.

Can't wait for Season 2 next year

The movies will look great

>>143527477
>So much for strong, Biba.
It made him realise his cowardice which lead him to revive Ikoma, though.

>>143527436
what is coogle

It was shit. The second they handed Biba the white blood you knew how it was going to end. The black Kabaneri abilities were inconsistent as fuck. I wanted some fucking black kabaneri vs black kabaneri action and it was just a boring conclusion in general.

You are free to rate however you like, but saying this is an 8/10 looks like bait, or like you watched a dozen of shows at best.

>>143527572
>The second they handed Biba the white blood you knew how it was going to end
This. They really fucked that up because it made it obvious that Ikoma was going to live, where otherwise I might have been unsure because it seemed like a possible if not probable conclusion. They could have done some shit with Mumei cutting herself and feeding him her blood or something, I dunno.

After seeing how Ikoma looked last episode, I was hoping for more rip and tear than this.

No, just 10/10.

Also, you can have more than one show be 8/10 or 10/10. Not all shows would be 8/10 for the same reasons too. And obviously personal tastes and recent watches play a part of this.

I've been watching anime and reading manga since late 1980s. I'm fully aware that my overall rating of this might be higher than deserved purely because of the ultra rare good anime ending. Because in my experience, anime endings are still almost always "god did it" or some bullshit of the kind.

It did, but it kept you guessing. I missed the shot Biba took at Ikoma having green sparks, so I kept thinking Kurusu or Mumei would pull out the white blood ampoule, yet neither of them did so I was sure the white blood had been a lure to think Ikoma might live but doesn't.

It's better to have a set-up and payoff like this than to have an asspull. Just my opinion.

That's a fair point. You're right that the reveal was more how he was saved rather than if he would be saved, and it was a lot more impactful when it was (poorly) revealed that Biba did it. I agree that this is much better.

What a piece of shit. Nothing is is explained, not the virus, not the magical kabaneri powers, not Biba's motivationm, not Ikoma riveting metal to himself, not chokers stopping the virus somehow, nothing. The character designs are there solely to sell merchandise and nothing more. The premise is undeveloped, the plot nonsensically weak, the world building left to contrived snippets. Naruto-tier powerlevel tripe, shit exposition and narrative to the very end. It never picked up, not even once. If I could rewind time, I would, to fucking erase this utter mess from memory.

When he shot Ikoma who was down. The shot has green sparks the same as when Ikoma injects Mumei. The (relative) subtlety is what makes the obvious set-up of Biba getting a white blood ampoule to save Ikoma acceptable. If Mumei hadn't said BIBA DID IT? It would have been even better.

Standing.

So was Biba mad that Ikoma made him scared, and he had to redeem himself by killing Ikoma in a somewhat fair fight he shot the white blood into Ikoma?

>>143528103

Considering they only had 12 eps to work with, I'd rather they give us extra material for this backstory. Like a short manga or a "original breakout" OAV or movie.

>>143528226
But it did make sense. All the kabaneri shit was just a vehicle for the rest of the narrative. A force of nature. Can you imagine if they shoe horned some garbage scenes where they were all sitting around "discovering" how it all worked? Fuck that.

>>143525680
This isn't AOTS.

It's mediocre for 3/4 of the show then just became predictable when bad bowie came in. You know what to expect from it if you've watched more than a dozen shows and you get it.

Nah, he's pretty one dimensional. Which is fine, it would be tough to wrap up the story in 12 episodes otherwise, but as a villain he's nothing special.

I'm sorry your favorite animu of the season is shit.

Would still say Luluco is AOTS, but Kabaneri was a really nice tight story. I appreciate that it set up its themes and conflicts, and managed to resolve them in a satisfying way in one season. Pretty rare for anime.

>>143528347

I did, I watched all 12 episodes. Where did the virus come from? Why did the steampunk weapons suddenly come and go, as if only there to sell character designs? How did Kurusu survive getting stabbed through his abdomen without infecting, needing surgery, rest, etc? How come the trains magically switched tracks? I'm sure you can elaborate, since you payed attention.

>>143525680
I have avoided watching this show, but I would like to know, is this show as edgy as it looks? The main character looks like the worst kind of edgelord.

I, for my own sanity, refuse to believe that this isn't baiting. IRC, MAL, I don't care who, you have to stop. I can't take this level of bait. If you keep going I'll be forced to believe that /a/ really has fallen to the retarded and underaged and if that happens where else will I have to go.

Please don't destroy my faith in one of the last tolerable boards.

>it did make sense
>vehicle for the rest of the narrative
So it didn't make sense. The only thing shoe-horned was the plot, where they essentially designed the characters first, came up with the basic premise, and then filled in the gaps as it came, sense and narrative logic be damned. If the entire premise is there to drive the narrative, yet the characters and their motivation itself contrived, then the premise doesn't make sense. It could be replaced with anything.

I had no expectations for either of them and it's YOU who are projecting on to me. I love shorts. One of my favourite shows in any medium is a dialogue sparse short.
Get fucked.
The difference is both of those shows were shit. At least Spicy Pepper isn't getting praised as much as Luluco. They're almost as bad as each other honestly (albeit for different reasons).

>>143528740
The bullet was the blood, genius.

>>143528756
Boy you sound angry.

>>143526279
I think the point of the arc was to show kindof a synthesis between them. Between the logic and reason of the human mind, and the love and hope of the human heart.

Also, the threat of the black blood overtaking Ikoma did spice up the finale with a little more suspense, since it added more uncertainty about whether he would live to fill Mumei's belly with rice.

Kiznaiver had more and better character development, regardless of its failed premise. Luluco is just Trigger fanservice and forced narrative. They even shoehorned it into Kiznaiver in the last ep, because unpredictable narrative is the only thing going for it.

I mean the whole narrative made sense, not just the Kabane stuff. I don't exactly understand where you draw the line at something "making sense", though. Are you saying you can't accept that things are the way they are because they weren't completely exposed for you? Are you saying that any narrative tool that isn't completely explained can never "make sense" to you and therefore the entire story sucks by default? If you honestly think that then we have very different views of what makes good fiction.

Why didn't they just make a two-factor defence in the outposts, instead of having the train station inside the main outpost? Two walls instead of one, that's all. Lives are at stake, no?

And why was Ikoma the only one to take initiative? Really terrible MC development. Might as well have a sign saying "this is the MC, the rest of the peasants don't matter".

Who said I wanted that anyway? Being one-dimensional is just fine but a) Biba was done poorly and b) people were claiming he had all this depth he clearly didn't
>inb4 oh but he had his motivations and conflict
Wow so he meets the most basic requirements for a character. Tell me more about this AOTS.

>>143529155
I'd say incredible. Only a handful number of people in the industry would do that.

Nah, it's just not that good.

Yea more of this awful genre that's what we need. But agree Kabaneri isn't AOTS at all

This is the only bad part about a possible S2. Ikoma needs another bro

>>143529015
>orchestrated by people
So why didn't Biba just destroy the railways instead of wasting time going from outpost to outpost? What the fuck did he even want to accomplish? It's never made clear, even through his own voice.

>>143529233
Why does he need a bro when he now has a loli sister?

>>143529192
Re Zero is shit. Subaru is insufferable. He behaves like an absolute imbecile half the time. Emilia is cute and she's wasted on the show.

>>143529192
Re:0 is a contender but until the Rem arc starts properly next ep it's lost steam.
I'd say concrete (if both cours are included) or maybe Tanaka could also compete.

>>143529233
>Ikoma needs another bro

It's going to be blue ninja.

>>143529239
He was interested in destroying the fortresses, so people had to adapt to the zombies. Mostly, though he wanted revenge. He's pretty simple.

Do you actually watch this show? Because that's not what it has at all

For a season finale, not a lot of people seem to care.

Reminder thousands of people have died, and not one, not even the children didn't flinch (washing away blood), yet this one death is somehow supposed to be relevant. What a load of contrived shit.

>>143529224
Your confusing setting with genre.

>>143529233
He now has batman as new bro. Also Mumei is kinda bro and waifu two in one package.

Everything in this show I loved EXCEPT Mumei
Sure she's cute and has a nice butt but she was annoying

>>143529257
I love Re: Zero, but why can't this board not self insert themselves into characters?

Most of the arguments are, "hur dur I'm so much smarter than him because I would have put my cock in a toaster to save Rem"

the webm is an anime you fucking idiot. It was before Akira BTFO theater audiences and art styles for talented animators in japan changed for good.

>>143529293
It's possible to argue that there's a difference in seeing people killed by a force of nature and murdered by another human, but mostly, yeah, it's just supposed to drive Ikoma to despair.

>>143529192
I'd say Kabaneri is still better. I really like Re:ddit Zero too but it's a meme anime.

>>143529302
She only got annoying near the end.

Went from strong womeme to damsel in distress

>>143529268
>He's pretty simple
No, it isn't. The people never did anything to him. He killed them in vain. But worst off all, the motivation of his followers is never, not once, explained.

>>143529195
fair point if your a experienced anime watcher with refined tastes

thoough i do not think it's favorable to have all animes up to your standard, outstanding writing is reserved for rare occasions, that is also true outside of anime

if you look at the anime industry and this show in general I would say that the publishing company was looking for generic shonen with some old school-ish art style.

i think theres alot of people that enjoy that and if this is not your slice of bread why are you eating it?

>>143529304
That's just how it is. Look to the 'shinji is a little bitch' posters and you'll see that this is a persistent problem.

>>143529311
If I was around for when rotoscoping was invented, yeah, I think I would have been really impressed.

>>143529304
That has nothing to do with self insertion. When I watched the show, I kept thinking, "Why would you do that you moron"

Subaru does things without thinking, he just relies on respawns and tries random suicidal shit until it works.

>>143529268
no hes not. he went from revenge plot to wanting to take over to destroy everything to fight for survival to no more walls and back every time you saw him
if he wanted to gain support why did he kill every one he came across. he didn't get them to join him he simply killed them. if he wanted revenge why wipe out every station he came across?
his motivation changed so much he was a new character each time you saw him and his followers made no sense either because that means they changed there motivation each time as well. he was a shit character who no one even bothered to even try to develop

>>143529361
They're fanatics who've bought in to his Only the Strong Survive cult. It's a cult of personality held together by Biba, and that's why it falls apart immediately, once he dies.

>>143525680

This was the thighpoint of the entire show.

>>143529382
You just proved my point.

"That shit is stupid, my strategy is way super better"

>>143529396
It's a revenge plot that he justifies to himself with a natural selection based ideology. He's not interested in taking over anything, he's just lashing out and trying to make it seem noble. He's really not complicated.

>>143529416
S-sakamoto?

>>143529311
> So the work is about adding such process one (cel) frame at a time which also flows with character's movement. It's difficult because it's not just simply cleaning up the image, it's about not clashing with flow of the movement

I loved the Bowie aesthetic, and I want more heroes to do that.

It's pretty sad that you have to keep dismissing every flaw as 'no, you're just an autist'. Really? People who actually use their brain instead of accepting everything on face value counts as autism to you? That actually is pretty damn depressing.

>>143529361
>the motivation of his followers is never, not once, explained.
Think about what their group started as. They began as this incredily righteous group of hunters lead by a charismatic leader, so that's how a lot of people wanted to join. They've been together for over 10 years, so over that time it's pretty believable that they grow to love and worship Biba and become unquestionably loyal to him. Mix that with probable strict culling of people who aren't totally loyal over that said 10 year period and I don't think it's too farfetched that you'd have a crew of unwaveringly zealous followers by then, do you?
