molarbear Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I just watched it on Amazon after Mr.Evilbob suggested it to me. I really enjoyed it! Quote
mochi Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I haven't but I like Ninelie from what I understand it's just a knock off of AOT Quote
scope Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I haven't but I like Ninelie from what I understand it's just a knock off of AOT It's by the same director of AOT Quote
mochi Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 It's by the same director of AOT OOOOOOOOooooooohhhh, cool so it's kind of like how everything the staff of Sailor Moon did immediately afterwards were like their own interpertation of Sailor Moon (namely Utena and Princess Tutu) Quote

Daos Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Kabaneri is actually pretty good. Kind of falls apart in the second half but still decent. It's basically AOT with Iron zombies instead of titans. The characters aren't as memorable though. Last I heard it was actually more popular in Japan than Re Zero, don't ask me why since Zero dominates the rankings pretty much everywhere else. Quote
Jman Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Steampunk Walking Dead? Yeah, for a show based on the zombie genre it felt rather unique. Quote
Chapinator_X Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 It was a good show that season. It does have a messy 2nd half, but it was pretty solid, the characters have a little more depth to them, and if you're in the need for something to tide you over before AoT Season 2, this is the show for you.

Daos Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Yeah I mean, it's definitely one of the top anime for that year. It had two things going heavily against it though. Derided as a not quite as good as AOT knockoff. Competing with RE Zero. Off the top of my head I can name a few characters from AOT ....Mikasa, Erin, Armin, Levi. Quick, name 4 characters from Kabaneri off the top of your head! No cheating. Quote
EyeOfPain Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Quick, name 4 characters from Kabaneri off the top of your head! No cheating. 1. Mumei! 2. Main Character! 3. Princess! 4. Ripped Engineer! Quote
Daos Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 She's the real main char https://renfareview.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/kabaneri-of-the-iron-fortress-yukina.jpg?w=640&h=360 Quote
molarbear Posted January 21, 2017 Author Posted January 21, 2017 The only thing that really bugged me was they got these zombies with armored cases covering their hearts, why is it that some 12 year old is the only one that thought of developing armor piercing bullets? Then you got this whole group of people who are notorious for killing the zombies and are famed and idolized.... but no one bothers to go "Hey! how'd you do that? We've been using the equivalent of air soft guns and rubber swords." Quote

IN THE SAME DAY. Plots got a few holes, lets just say that. Quote
EyeOfPain Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 When you're a genius main character in a steampunk world surrounded by zombies, everything is bound to be coming up you. The show seemed to take a bit more of an '80s OVA tact where the writing was concerned. Also, the character designs. And if you've seen any '80s OVAs, you know that storyline or characters weren't necessarily well conceived, or fleshed out, or made any sense. Quote
Daos Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 With an entertaining anime, you just suspend your disbelief and enjoy the ride sometimes. Quote
Jman Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Is it any dumber than some of the stuff on Walking Dead? Quote
CAC Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 It was good till the second half then turned meh. Quote
