What's /a/ verdict on Koutetsujou no Kabaneri? Is it just

>>144938473
1. It's a good anime. Nothing more, nothing less.

2. Don't compare it to Attack on Titan. It would just result in constant shitposting.

3. It's worth watching, although none of the build up really pays off, the characters aren't all that great, action scenes while nicely animated are kinda boring. Watch it for animation and music.

Now go and watch it.

The last third took a massive shift that emphasized a character most still didn't give a shit about besides looking cute, and added a new villain that was irrelevant to the series initial charm.

>>144938473
Why does everyone feel compelled to compare this to attack on titan. I don't think they're really that similar

>>144938473
It was a fun action show to watch every week during the last season that spawned some good porn.

It's AoT with trains, and amazing fanart.

Worth watching.

>>144938473

The first 4 episodes are good stand alone, and those are very enjoyable, so watch at least the first 4 episodes and continue if you wish. 5-7 are pretty good too, it's only after that that it gets more eh but not terrible.

AOT is much better but this was decent.

>>144938473
It was good until Biba showed up then it went to shit fast.

I'm sorry but your opinion is objectively wrong. Kabaneri's writing is fucking horrible, especially Bieber, Mumei and our MC.

>>144938473
It would be better if the entire series fucking end in Ep.4 .After ep.4? it bacame a time bomb that is waiting to explode on the arrival of the main villain.
Or better just compress that first 4 episodes into a movie.

If you have nothing else to watch, then watch it. It does get really good halfway through the series, but the last few episodes are absolute shit.

I fucking hate Biba. He's the worst kind of villain who sacrifice his loyal subjects and perform genocide on the innocent just to get some petty and childish revenge at his father.

What I don't understand is why people say the first episode was so good. What did you like about it? A bunch of nameless villagers die, and Ayame's father just so she gets put into a position of power, but Mumei is there to get everyone to safety. Ikoma gets a powerup. It doesn't really feel suspenseful. The first episode is very much in line with the rest of the anime, it feels more like an action movie.

Much like Guilty Crown, good visuals and audio, but snubbed by underwhelming plot choices.

I miss the Kabaneposting.

the first episode made me think it was gonna be a fun episodic series with just cutting down zombies or shooting them, but instead ruin it with pseudo-political Bullshit that was just a mask for the antagonist revenge against his father.the plot (If there was one) just went straight downhill once the antagonist showed up. man I'm still mad

>>144955721
For the purposes of this discussion, you're a nobody.

It wasn't mostly ok but not worth going out of your way to watch it.

What do you guys would like to see in a season 2?

I would want: a bromance between Ikoma and Kurusu, a love triangle between Ayame, Kurusu and Ikoma, more fights using the train's canon, no villain like Biba. They fight against the kabane and whatever created them.

>>144938473
It's not bad for the first seven or so episodes, but then it falls apart once Biba shows up.

>>144938929
It has literally nothing in common with attack on titan.

>>144938473
It was ok.
For some reason SNK-fags try to compare it to their show and say it's a ripoff despite SNK itself can be considered as greatly influenced if not directly mimicking Gantz and Berserk in many aspects.

>>144956421
except the gadgets and nobody explains how the titans/kabane came to be, they're just there

It's like Guilty Crown set in sci-fi Feudal Japan with zombies and steam-powered trains. I initially thought that the concept sounded awfully generic, but it kinda worked out in the end somehow. Ikoma and Mumei's characterization were executed pretty well, but I didn't find Biba to be the villain of the story, he's just there to get a revenge from his father and his mentally was nothing but Natural Selection down to the core. Adding scientists out of nowhere to become its plot device with their magical injections made the show less interesting, and the open ending could have been better than just going for another train ride with no answers to Kabeneri's origin. 5+1/10 for the animation and OST.

Also why did Biba give Ikoma the antidote syringe at the end?

>>144957754

Don't forget the "I will kill all the titan-I mean vampires-I mean kabane!"

>>144938473
Inarguable AotS.

>>144957970
oh and visually pretty, and that one soundtrack that instantly is super popular and has some english lyrics in it.

>>144956909
Why would it be smelly?

>>144957953
>Also why did Biba give Ikoma the antidote syringe at the end?
He either wanted Ikoma to continue fighting, and the antidote would make Ikoma not become a mindless kabane, OR he thought that Ikoma wasn't a coward like everybody else (and like Biba himself), and thus he deserved to live while Biba didn't.

I think that the first option is more likely since after shooting Ikoma with the antidote he still wanted to fight.

>>144958091
it was a meme back then

So, Maymay was actually 12 years old?

>>144958350
The latter sounds plausible to me considering Biba decided to stab Ikoma behind his back, making himself look like a coward. Thus he gave him a reward for not being one.

Did anyone here get the first BD? In the extras there is some pretty nice music that isn't in the official soundtrack.

>>144958350
I'd almost go with the second option just because fear and cowardice was supposed to be the driving force behind his shitty evil plot, and once he showed he wasn't a little chicken shit he deserved to live in Biba's mind.

>>144957953
>why did Biba give Ikoma the antidote syringe at the end?
During their duel, Biba pulled a shitty move and "cowardly" tries to backstab a blinded Ikoma, which backfires on him. Before he's shot, he acknowledges himself as a coward (weak) and Ikoma as fearless (strong) and excepts his fate to be killed because he believes that "the strong survive, and the weak die".

But since Biba was a Kabaneri and Ikoma missed the heart, he lived. Ikoma didn't finish him off but instead went off to save the weak (Mumei). That frustrated him.

He didn't want Ikoma to simply die from the Black Blood after that because that would mean his beliefs were wrong, so he shoots the White Blood into Ikoma and tries to get him to continue fighting. But then Mumei kills him and shatters his beliefs.

>>144938473
Great tier MC, main girl and plot until episode 3 started with all those three became bland in order to flesh out many side characters (barring Yukina and Takumi who are great from the get go)
Also Ikoma > Eren, at least you don't see the former killing the zombies with mere arms.
