Great anime at the start of it i felt like it was a mimic of attack on titans but hell no it aint ,maybe at the first 2 ep you will feel like this but when keep watching it will definitely surprise you from the story devlopment and the way they add the new actions .

i loved every episode of this anime especially the last two episodes i liked them the most, cause all the great anime always miss up with at the last but this one didnt in contrast the even end it in a way better than like when they started the anime xD i cant say much about the ending just it was so amazing jop .

It actually started off well, I really liked the first episode and I rarely like the first episodes in general. But in the end it didn't seem to be the same anime. The story is confusing and makes no sense, as are the characters. The villain sucks in the bad way, he and his purposes make no sense. In the first episodes I thought Mumei was cool, but then I don't know what happened but she got so stupid and annoying that it hurts. Animation and action are ok, though.

Title: Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress - A Steampunk Adventure with a Bite

Story (7/10): "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" presents a steampunk-infused world overrun by Kabane, undead creatures with an insatiable hunger for flesh. The story follows Ikoma, a young inventor who becomes a Kabaneri, a hybrid between humans and Kabane. Alongside fellow survivors, they embark on a perilous journey aboard the Iron Fortress, a mobile fortress on rails. The narrative is filled with intense action, political intrigue, and survival challenges. While the story starts strong, it faces some pacing issues in the latter part of the series. Exploring the manga/novel adaptation can provide additional insights into the world and its lore.

Animation (8/10): The animation quality in "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" is a standout feature. The series boasts impressive visuals, showcasing detailed character designs, intricate steampunk machinery, and thrilling action sequences. The animation successfully captures the gritty and dire atmosphere of a world overrun by Kabane. The intense battles are particularly well-animated, adding to the excitement of the series.

Sound (7/10): Sound design in the anime complements the steampunk and action elements effectively. The soundtrack features powerful and dramatic tunes that heighten the tension during battles and crucial moments. Voice acting is well-done, with characters' voices reflecting their personalities and the dire circumstances they face. Sound effects during action scenes are impactful and contribute to the immersion.

Characters (6/10): The characters in "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" are varied, with each possessing their own motivations and personalities. Ikoma, as the protagonist, undergoes significant development as he grapples with his newfound Kabaneri abilities. Mumei, another Kabaneri, adds depth and complexity to the story with her mysterious past. While some characters receive meaningful development, others, especially secondary ones, may feel underdeveloped or one-dimensional.

Overall (6/10): "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" is a thrilling steampunk adventure filled with intense action and survival challenges. The animation and sound design are strong points, immersing viewers in the gritty world overrun by Kabane. The story, while compelling at the start, faces pacing issues in the later episodes. Character development varies, with some characters receiving more attention than others. Exploring the manga/novel adaptation can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the world and its lore. My overall score for the anime is 6/10, reflecting its strengths in animation and action, but also acknowledging areas where it could have been further improved.

It is no difference with attack on titan and little similarity with tokyo ghoul, both inhibits super natural power and wanted to take revenge somehow and protect the humanity from the flesh eating corpse. watching the Attact on titan first before hand does not really gives me a chill to watch it in the beginning, but it is not bad too afterall. I just hope for the second season to us give a little twist so the viewers may look something forward to.

Okay this legit Attack On Titan on crack that is to say it and the mc girl here is just.. No and what is it with the men in anime being sooo weak against women here ? Not against it or anything do not get me wrong there are multiple places where I like it when a woman is stronger but, ok let me put it to you this way, the mc sacrificed himself and all ok and the mc girl saved her just to beat him up and embarresse him in front of everyone and she has no common knowladge. Animation and all are good but the Story is basically Attack On Titan on crack.
