Fuck this is actually pretty good, 4 episodes in and it's

It gets bad starting at like episode 7 or so, and just ramps up the retardation from there.

Episode 11 is the stupidest episode in an anime I've ever seen.

>>154016931
if you are enjoying it so much why the fuck would you stop watching it?

stop watching it when biba comes in, it goes shit to dogshit real fast

>Kabaneri was good at first! It only gets shit when Biba comes around!

It was always edgy derivative shit. Not a single original thought in this anime. Anyone who thought that it was good at any point has a double digit IQ

>>154016931
it never turns to shit
it's a decent anime, great production values, and satisfactory story

It wasn't amazing or anything but it was perfectly watchable.

>>154017039
It was watchable, even fun. But it was shit. Just like SnK.

>>154016995
They get noticeable lazy somewhere near the end and stop trying.

>>154016991
>It only gets shit when Biba comes around!
But it's true. It was really nice until Biba came around swinging his retarded "muahaha I am a villain" attitude and dragging the entire quality of the show into the bottomless pit.

It crashes and burns harder than any anime I've ever seen. I've even illustrated it. If you are having fun with it, then keep watching but the last 2 episodes are the shittiest anime I have ever seen and I'm a no-life anime neet and have seen a TON of crap.

>>154017102
Code Geass is fun but it's shit.
SnK is fun but it's shit.
Naruto is fun but it's shit.

>>154017129
But how can it be shit if you enjoyed it?

>>154017157
Because people can like bad things.

>>154017191
But why is it bad if you said you had fun watching it? Doesn't that mean it's good?

>>154017229
No. English must not be your first language.

>>154017041
Believe yourself. Watch it and form your own opinions you fucking parasite.

It's great and it's getting a continuation in 2018.
Have fun OP.

>>154017384
>getting a continuation
Who in the actual fuck asked for this?

>>154016991
Except that the narrative and the writing in general got measurably and objectively worse the moment he was introduced. Sure, my interest in the show was waning well before then, nearly to the point of dropping it all together, but Biba made me actively hate the series as a whole, and to continue watching it, which is even worse.

>>154016931
Keep watching and realize that anime isn't actually that great

>>154016931
Wait until near the end where it gets so horrendously stupid

I don't know who asked for it, but I'm happy that it's getting a season 2.
Araki seems to be really interested too, since he'll continue as Kabaneri's director while SNK s2 was handed to someone else (I know he's still going to help though)

>>154016931
Just rewatched it yesterday. Its retardation is much more bearable when you don't have to wait 1 week between episodes. While I thought it was fun and at times annoyingly stupid during my first watch, this time I'd say it was simply fun and stupid without becoming annoying and I really enjoyed watching it. Finishing this show a second time made me actually look forward to S2.

Episode 7 was a good slice of life episode.

>>154017439
There are still a lot of fans in Japan.

>>154016995
This. It was best series I saw in 2016 other than 3gatsu. I didn't like the Biba arc, but I don't think series overall deserves the hate it gets.

>>154016931
It truly had some decent potential IMO. I liked the the characters and the premise, then when ANTAGONIST FIGUREHEAD comes along it heads south really fast.

>>154017072
The whole reason the show went to shit.

>>154017467

>you're retarded if you found the good in a beautiful, action packed, thriler.

Take it easy, contrarian-kun. Us adults can actually watch a series for enjoyment instead of /a/ cred

>>154016931
Like a lot of anime that end up being shit it starts out with an interesting premise, interesting characters, and interesting setting but suffers from an absolutely retarded plotline that fails to make good use of the premise, characters, and setting.
This is an exceptional offender because as stated above, the main antagonist's motivations and actions are beyond retarded and make no sense within the setting.

>>154016931
Drop it when the guys they threw off the train catch up to it by foot.

>>154016991
and anyone who didn't manage to notice the massive drop in quality on every level when Biba comes around has a single digit IQ. You don't even have to like the series from beginning to notice it.

>>154018989
Isn't 7 the one where they defeat the smog monster and MC kun gets told he won't be able to succeed but then he goes shonen and I CAN DO IT and he does it.

>>154020714
No, that's episode 6. He can do it because he has an indestructible habanero body.

Episode 7 is where they go buy supplies for the train and MC-kun promises to fill the heroine full of rice.

It starts strong but stagnates in the middle and Biba is a fucking terrible villain. Maybe the second season can salvage it.

>>154020814
Oh that was decent, yea.

>>154016951
>Episode 11 is the stupidest episode in an anime I've ever seen.
I don't even remember what happened in this show

The OP was good though

I went in expecting zombie-increased strength,as advertised in the first 4 episodes and at the end I got all habaneros suddenly becoming the fafnir knight with telekinsis.

A new Kabaneri novel comes out today. It takes place between episodes 6 and 7 and seems to focus on Mumei's past.

Well that's neat. I'm kinda surprised they're putting so much effort into making something out of this series.

>>154021576
isn't a season two in the works?

>>154021832
The series seems to be a labor of love for Araki and the other staff, such as the setting supervisor Junpei Kasaoka who is the one writing the novels.

I'm reading the prequel novel Akatsuki right now. It gives a lot of detail on the setting and insight into the characters. It's also written better than most light novels.

>>154022523
Yes, coming out in 2018. To bridge between season 1 and the next one, they added a new scene to the end of the compilation movies that came out a few weeks ago, and also released a drama CD (which I really enjoyed. I can summarize it for you if you want).

>>154022680
>>154022619
So if it's a labor of love and they have good writers, what in the fuck happened to the second half of the series

How about the big bad in the zombie apocalypse?

>>154022914
Nothing, it was great.

>>154022914
I think they got overambitious and tried to cram too much story into a twelve episode series. There wasn't enough time to develop Biba and his motivations, so to go from introducing him as a hero and then killing him as a villain in only five episodes didn't leave much room for nuance.

>>154023293
While his character is technically one of the major fuck ups I don't think knowing his motivations and why he became a villain would help.

Also, "introduced as a hero"? He screamed bad guy from the instant he showed up.

>>154023375
As far as the characters knew when they first saw him, he was a hero who had slain many kabane when the bushi couldn't. They didn't know he was evil until he started to put his plan into motion in episode 9.

It was shown why he became a villain; I meant that it would have helped if they had written him with more shades of gray instead of as a completely merciless sociopath. They had the genesis of something interesting by portraying him as someone with similar views as Ikoma (hating cowardice and fear, wanting to fight the kabane head on instead of hiding in walled fortresses), just with very different views on how far to go. But they went too far and made him too detestable to sympathize with.

Mumei is my musume.

>>154016931
I found it really enjoyable.
People who shit on it usually are just apart of a hivemind.
I think they were just baited into thinking it was gonna be something more profound.
It's definitely enjoyable though.

>>154025533
It's enjoyable for the first half

>>154025533
I don't know what gave some people the impression that it was going to be something profound. The main draws of the first couple episodes were the action and setting and didn't contain anything particularly deep.
I do think the characterization, especially for the MC and heroine, was better than average quality for an action series though.
