    Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress- by Wit Studio and Attack on Titan team.

    Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress:

    ‘steampunk survival action’ anime by Wit Studio and Attack on Titan team.
    Plot:
    Onthe island country Hinomoto, humans hide themselves in fortresses called “Stations” from the threat of zombie-like beings with steel hearts known as “Kabane”. Only armored locomotives known as “Hayajiro” go between the stations.
    The Cast Includes:


    Ikoma, a young steam smith who makes a living in Aragane Station by making iron and steam engines. He and his good friend Takumi developed a weapon called “Tsuranuki Zutsu” in order to defeat the Kabane. Everyone makes light of him now, but he looks forward to a day when he will be triumphant.


    Mumei (Nameless), a mysterious girl who boards the Kotetsujo and appears at Aragane Station. It seems she gets special treatment from warriors, but her true colors are…


    Ayame, the eldest daughter of the family that governs Aragane Station. She will someday govern in her father’s stead, but until now hasn’t expressed her opinions clearly.


    Kurusu, a young warrior who serves Ayame’s family as Ayame’s personal bodyguard. Among warriors his sword arm is considerable. He is usually sober and honest, and maintains his honor as a warrior.


    Takumi, Ikoma’s friend and fellow steam smith. Though he’s shocked by Ikoma’s rashness, he admires how Ikoma isn’t afraid of anyone.


    Kajika, Ikoma and Takumi’s friend and fellow steam smith. She has a familial personality.


    Kibito, a warrior who serves Ayame’s family. He is understanding and treats people of all social classes without discrimination.


    Yukina, a crew member of the Hayajiro “Kōtetsujō,” who transports items across Hinomoto. She is a shy but big-sisterly hard worker who loves her job


    Sukari, a steam smith who lives at Aragane Station. He puts up a cynical front, but has good judgement.

    impressive so far. Beautiful looking, great setup, even if things were going by quick, and man was Ikoma preventing the virus take over kind of epic. I just hope the animation quality will be consistent and the story doesn't go full retard like Guilty Crown.

    Pretty good. The whole "it's not a curse it's a virus!" emphasis culminating in nonsense magic avoidance of the problem was kinda lame. The whole "I'm gonna keep it from reaching my brain for 7 seconds so now the problem magically disappears out my left foot" thing was full-force stupid. Falls under the heading of "it would be better if they just said abra-cadabra and the problem was solved" kinda shit.

    Pretty much where I'm at.

    Unless they explain what happened in detail that whole sequence was a lot of dumb shit.

    Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Ep2

    Great episode. I wonder how long they can keep this level of production quality up
    and the voice actors are doing a good job as well.

    This is one of the best shows this season - based on only two episodes - but somehow it seems to be flying under the radar.

    Some people watch it for the plot and search for plot holes and say its bad. Others just watch it for the action and enjoy the ride... its half n half

    I watch it for the ecchi scenes and action myself and enjoy the ride

    So the stone in his hand didn't have any special properties I guess.

    Also I get that that woman was pregnant, but what was she supposed to do? Let her attack people?

    How'd exactly did she turn too? Was there a quick scene of her getting bitten I missed?

    Kabaneri Ep 6

    The last bit with all the Kabane attacking was great, especially Ikoma and the samurai running down the train taking them down.



    Holy Damn
