Kótecudžó no kabaneri

Very bad. Maybe the animation looks stylish and cool, and maybe the soundtrack isn't bad, but those are about the only things I find positive about it. The characters? The story? The trains and the tracks? Ha ha ha. Bad, very bad. If you put together your favorite ice cream, your favorite main course, add a quart of your favorite mustard or ketchup, stir, boil, salt, pepper, burn, and what you scrape off the pot is exactly the quality of this anime. I haven't had something so horribly bad in a long time. (07.07.2016)

"WIT Studio presents... From the studio that brought us such well-known pieces as Attack on Titan, Seraph of the End, and the not-so-well-known The Empire of Corpses comes something you may have already seen before in their previous productions, even though it may well be combined in a way you have never dreamed of... Get ready for a world that is once again on the brink of the very end because - it is completely pointless to think of another reason for creating an oppressive atmosphere and suspense... Prepare for another main male protagonist who is so determined that his determination borders on becoming a mental illness... Meet a main female protagonist who seems to be much stronger at first glance than the main male protagonist, even though she is only playing second fiddle for some reason... Experience action scenes so surreal that you will forget that this anime series should also have a coherent and logical narrative... Coming to you this spring; ATTACK ON WALKING DEAD SERAPH!!! Believe the HYPE! Join the HYPE train! Recommended by eleven out of ten true anime connoisseurs!" This is an excerpt from Jeoffrey's Honest Trailers... Seriously! I have to say that the first episode was what I had expected and thus I was not surprised. If someone had not been reminded of Attack on Titan during the first episode, they were either blind or just have not seen AoT. Everything is only emphasized in the following episodes, and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is just another product of WIT Studio, which is made mainly for effect, full of action scenes, gore, and fights with very good animation. The characters are again very narrowly profiled, they have their own opinions, and there is no truth for them other than their own. The narrow profiling makes them act like total idiots on many occasions, and it makes me feel the need to bang my head against the wall a lot. Again, there are a lot of plot holes and things that anyone with common sense will find very difficult to accept. For example, the characters are not as unbearable to me as Eren Yeager and his crew were. There is even a little less screaming and overwrought hysterics; although you should not worry too much, it is still coming. The main male protagonist's emotional outburst that he is going to kill all the Kabane is still coming. The bottom line is that Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is a gorgeous spectacle, a very crazy and intense ride that I could enjoy, even though to expect anything other than a mediocre experience, you have to DON'T THINK ABOUT IT! Despite all the crazy stuff I saw, I will award this show four stars because the animation is stunning and action-packed. 7/10.
