So the reason he didn't became Kabane in Ep 1 might be that fucking talisman as well. Fucking ruined his character. Just imagine how much better this show would be if Ikoma overcome everything with his engineering skill and will.

I agree. The whole black blood thing seemed a bit tacked on and ultimately pointless. Why couldn't he have just attached the gun to his arm + some sweet engineering fuckery that suprised people and allowed him to get the jump on them?

She was manipulated. She's 12.

I was hoping it be more about trying to survive and find way to live again then getting pink haired faggot with daddy issues who in the end got his way. I shouldn't be shocked japan loves to do stupid shit.
Man, I only watched it for the action since I knew the characters were shit and the show still managed to dissapoint me.
If the characters had been at least mediocre I could deal with it, but they were just garbage.
Takumi was my favorite character and of course he is the only one in the damn cast that dies. Fuck this show.

It's average at best, the final battle was not that good, only a couple of scenes had good direction, and the dialogue was pretty bad.

It was good.
A little rough in the middle, but no more or less than SnK was.
The ending was much more satisfying than SnK which made it overall better in my opinion. Also left room for season 2 if it were to ever come up.

The touched-up scenes have been selective so I doubt we'll see more. They might refine the digital processing for some shots in the later episodes since the production was getting incredibly rushed. Kabaneri's finale had dozens of key animators and many other production staff.

It's objectively the best show this season point blank period. It's weakest point was that naruto shit in episode 9 but it was only bad because it was jarring and came literally out of nowhere, but other than that it was great. If you disagree your wrong and or autistic.

A real hero. A real human being.
He knows he can kill.
Was biba a bibaneri too?
>>143526388
I don't see why people have such a hard time understanding Biba's character. He hates weakness and fear, and he saw the cities the people built, especially the capital, as bastions for the weak and fearful. He wanted people to stop fearing the kabane and follow him, otherwise they were worthless to him and should just die. That's why he fucked with Ikoma by killing Takumi, he was testing him. When Ikoma came back after getting thrown off the train, he chose to fight him to prove to himself that his beliefs were right. During the fight scene, he realizes that Ikoma is stronger than him. He even has a momentary flash of fear. When he goes to stab Ikoma in the back while he's dazed and blinded, he realizes he is acting like a coward. He saved Ikoma because he wanted Ikoma to kill him, since that was the only way he could keep believing that the strong live and the weak die.
>>143527193
>>143525680
So what exactly is the talisman thing? How did it dropping into the water break ikoma out of his daze?
>>143525680
alot of ppl compare this with the likes of guilty crown and attack on titan, calling it shit and what not, but considering it only had 13 episodes instead of 24, i'd say they did a pretty good job putting everything together, it's the hype that killed it, not the anime itself
>>143527239
Which is also why is was so shaken when he thought he'd beaten Ikoma. He couldn't accept that he, a self admitted coward, could defeat Ikoma, a fearless man, as it would disprove his core beliefs.
>>143527289
It's a fucking rock. There is no greater meaning. Ikoma was just baiting because he had finally lost his sight and only had one shot at the kill.
>>143527065
Yeah part of that might be because of preparation for snk season 2 and their OVA later this year. WIT is really overburdened.
>>143527348

Say what you will about the anime as a whole, but this is a second 10/10 ending this season along with Cerberus. It's so rare the nips are able to end an anime properly without either going full retarded or over-explaning. This resolved what it needed to.
Overall this show is a solid 8/10. Very enjoyable. Would be my AOTS if Kuromukuro wasn't a thing and Biba had been less one dimensional.
>>143525997
Same can be said of OP, what's your point?
>>143525680

>>143527388
my only gripe here is that they could have made the show more about the Kabane instead of an internal conflict but they didn't and made it about how much of a madman Biba is
>>143527193
Anyone got a webm or gif of that? Dat jiggle, man.
>>143526786

Get your arse fucking wrecked by final form IkoMAN.
Have to go all sneaky beaky like to kill him.
So much for strong, Biba.
>>143527289
It's just a rock. It held sentimental value for Ikoma, that's it.
It helped him beat Biba, because he was blind.
>>143527434
>internal conflict
that's literally what "zombie apocalypse" stories are always about, though. humans end up being worse enemies.
>>143527463
Of course someone has to die. No other way for this fucking shitty anime to generate drama than forced death.
>>143525680
>this isn't the AOTS.
I agree. It isn't. Joker's game is.
>>143527434
>my only gripe here is that they could have made the show more about the Kabane instead of an internal conflict
They could have, but did you really expect it to? Zombie story always flip-flop between the danger of zombies and internal conflict because no matter what, Zombies are simplistic enemies that can't remain dangerous once they are solved without internal conflict giving them an opening.
Every single zombie story every does this.
I guess they could have taken the route where Kabanes grow more and more powerful and complex over time (like with that swordsman one) but in that case the story ends up even more straightforward.
Can't wait for Season 2 next year
The movies will look great
>>143527477
>So much for strong, Biba.
It made him realise his cowardice which lead him to revive Ikoma, though.
>>143527436
what is coogle
It was shit. The second they handed Biba the white blood you knew how it was going to end. The black Kabaneri abilities were inconsistent as fuck. I wanted some fucking black kabaneri vs black kabaneri action and it was just a boring conclusion in general.
>>143525680
I'm glad it had a pretty happy ending, I wasn't expecting that at all.
>>143527477
shut up fat fuck, I can smell the greasy fingers as you typed that
>>143527544
I'm tentatively hype. If WIT is still doing aot at the same time it might be filled with QUALITY though, so try to keep your expectations down.
When the hell is snk going to premiere anyway?
>>143527388
You are free to rate however you like, but saying this is an 8/10 looks like bait, or like you watched a dozen of shows at best.
If this is 8/10, then what is something like Rurouni Kenshin OVA, 15/10?
>>143527572
>The second they handed Biba the white blood you knew how it was going to end
This. They really fucked that up because it made it obvious that Ikoma was going to live, where otherwise I might have been unsure because it seemed like a possible if not probable conclusion. They could have done some shit with Mumei cutting herself and feeding him her blood or something, I dunno.
After seeing how Ikoma looked last episode, I was hoping for more rip and tear than this.
Why didn't try to make a variety of weapons using the black blood? It is clearly magic.
>>143527630
If it was done ANY other way it would have been called an Asspull.

The first line in the last episode makes me so angry.

No, just 10/10.
Also, you can have more than one show be 8/10 or 10/10. Not all shows would be 8/10 for the same reasons too. And obviously personal tastes and recent watches play a part of this.
I've been watching anime and reading manga since late 1980s. I'm fully aware that my overall rating of this might be higher than deserved purely because of the ultra rare good anime ending. Because in my experience, anime endings are still almost always "god did it" or some bullshit of the kind.
>>143527861
>yfw Biba never actually died
>>143527813
I was expecting him to be killed before leaving or he would get left behind to die from the horde. If they do a season two they could have him be a potential villain that resurrects Biba or joins up with them to cure humanity.
>>143527757
Except art doesn't get dull, but nice try.
Why it didn't fit?
>>143527630
>This. They really fucked that up because it made it obvious that Ikoma was going to live
It did, but it kept you guessing. I missed the shot Biba took at Ikoma having green sparks, so I kept thinking Kurusu or Mumei would pull out the white blood ampoule, yet neither of them did so I was sure the white blood had been a lure to think Ikoma might live but doesn't.
It's better to have a set-up and payoff like this than to have an asspull. Just my opinion.

That's a fair point. You're right that the reveal was more how he was saved rather than if he would be saved, and it was a lot more impactful when it was (poorly) revealed that Biba did it. I agree that this is much better.

What a piece of shit. Nothing is is explained, not the virus, not the magical kabaneri powers, not Biba's motivationm, not Ikoma riveting metal to himself, not chokers stopping the virus somehow, nothing.

When he shot Ikoma who was down. The shot has green sparks the same as when Ikoma injects Mumei. The (relative) subtlety is what makes the obvious set-up of Biba getting a white blood ampoule to save Ikoma acceptable. If Mumei hadn't said BIBA DID IT? It would have been even better.

If the writing was better in this show I would of loved to have all that explained, but I'm honestly glad they ended it. The show was not paced well and could of done better.

Why is this ok? What ever happened to narrative making sense?

THE BRINGER OF SEASON 2
![[HorribleSubs] Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress - 12 [720p].mkv_snapshot_15.18_[2016.07.01_13.41.46].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Y0oQT91.jpg "[HorribleSubs] Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress - 12 [720p].mkv_snapshot_15.18_[2016.07.01_13.41.46].jpg")
Standing.
So was Biba mad that Ikoma made him scared, and he had to redeem himself by killing Ikoma in a somewhat fair fight he shot the white blood into Ikoma?
>>143528103
Considering they only had 12 eps to work with, I'd rather they give us extra material for this backstory. Like a short manga or a "original breakout" OAV or movie.
>>143528226
But it did make sense. All the kabaneri shit was just a vehicle for the rest of the narrative. A force of nature. Can you imagine if they shoe horned some garbage scenes where they were all sitting around "discovering" how it all worked? Fuck that.
>>143525680
This isn't AOTS.
It's mediocre for 3/4 of the show then just became predictable when bad bowie came in. You know what to expect from it if you've watched more than a dozen shows and you get it.
>>143528109
She's just as cute and sexy and cool as Mumei, but never goes full retard
>>143528228
It's flopping so never.
>>143528272
He was mad because he couldn't accept that Ikoma, who is fearless, could defeat him, who had just addmited that he was a coward, because it was derail is whole "the strong fearless people always win" thing.
Didn't this show basically flop considering how heavily marketed and overestimated it was? It didn't even sell 7k for an event ticket first volume. Fucking sad.
What's next for season 2?
Are we gonna meet Negan of Kabaneri next?
>>143528187
Indeed, fucking brainless squirrel attention spawn. It's almost offensive how stupid they think we are already, how come they need to screen time everything for no reason?
Pay attention for Christ's sake.
>>143528308
Well that's totally and demonstrably incorrect, my man.
>>143528272
>shot the white blood into Ikoma
What else did he shoot into Ikoma? There was a time-skip of sorts, right? I always knew this show had fujo undertones. It's sick to think he'd do that, but at least they know their demographic.
>>143528295
Hey retard, you know that being predictable doesn't make it bad right?
How come Ikoma gets a free pass not becoming a zombie titan or whatever?
The ending feels so empty. Wasn't Kongoukaku supposed to be the last stable place standing in Japan? Where the fuck are they going to go now?
>>143528295
>do I look cool guise i'm posting in a thread about something I hate like a sad autist pls pay attention to me!!
You are pathetic.
>>143528350
You can be in denial all you want but it is flopping.
Hey, i dont know you guys, but for me Biba was the best villain ive seen in a long way not counting jojo.
>>143528367
Only female kabaneri can become Smog. Literally outright said in one episode.
>>143528405
Nah, he's pretty one dimensional. Which is fine, it would be tough to wrap up the story in 12 episodes otherwise, but as a villain he's nothing special.
>>143528405
Yeah he wasn't that bad but since /a/ can only go by first impressions, it's no wonder he is hated.
>>143528401
>the only data we have says it's not flopping
>the only "data" we have saying it is flopping is desperate conjecture
sorry who's in denial?
>>143525680
This ending was absolutely fucking abysmal
>>143528396
The OP clearly incited those responses.h
>>143525680
Overall it was a fun ride. I kinda wish Ikoma died at the end. The happy ending was kinda cliche.
>>143527871
Super fighting robot . . . MegaMan
>>143528359
It doesn't make it good either fuckwit.
I'm sorry your favorite animu of the season is shit.
Would still say Luluco is AOTS, but Kabaneri was a really nice tight story. I appreciate that it set up its themes and conflicts, and managed to resolve them in a satisfying way in one season. Pretty rare for anime.
>>143528443
Just ignore the entry level bait.
>>143528347
>Pay attention
I did, I watched all 12 episodes. Where did the virus come from? Why did the steampunk weapons suddenly come and go, as if only there to sell character designs? How did Kurusu survive getting stabbed through his abdomen without infecting, needing surgery, rest, etc? How come the trains magically switched tracks? I'm sure you can elaborate, since you payed attention.
>>143525680
I have avoided watching this show, but I would like to know, is this show as edgy as it looks? The main character looks like the worst kind of edgelord.
>"Yo, Ikoma nigga listen I have one vial of white blood so I mean one of y'all gonna have to die/consumed into kabane the other saved reverted back to normal"
>"Oh aight."
>Shows that Biba was given a vial
>Saves Mumei
>Later on Ikoma wakes up, reverts back to normal
>"Woah what? White blood? Was that my brother?"
>More happy cutscenes then fades to black
Wow. That's all the explanation we get as to whye verything ended up happily ever after
>>143528440
>>143528405
I, for my own sanity, refuse to believe that this isn't baiting. IRC, MAL, I don't care who, you have to stop. I can't take this level of bait. If you keep going I'll be forced to believe that /a/ really has fallen to the retarded and underaged and if that happens where else will I have to go.
Please don't destroy my faith in one of the last tolerable boards.
>>143528405
No, he's a bland "muh revenge" villain.
Let's take this perfectly peaceful place, and turn it upside down into a hellhole for muh revenge. All because he was treated unfairly, right guise? Perfectly justifiable.
>>143528497
To be fair, the ending did seem a bit rushed.
>>143528396
I'm sorry your feelings got hurt because someone from the internet called your favorite show shit.
>>143526918
>>143528497
Luluco is bellow average. Not as bad as Kiznaiver, though.
>>143528533
It was really obvious in the episode when Ikoma was given the white blood. If you missed it, you should rewatch.
>>143528541
>Perfectly justifiable.
What makes you think it wasn't justifiable?
>>143528497
>likes Luluco and Spicp Pepper
Like for real, where do you people come from? Neither are even close to AOTS. I'd bet you cunts liked SnK as well. I just don't know anymore.
>>143525680
Damn I forgot
>incredible cinematographic
>ED of the year
>>143528567
That's how he saves Mumei, doesn't answer for himself. Only thing we get about himself is when Mumei says "oh did my brother do that?"
And that's literally all the context we get behind why Ikoma is suddenly perfectly fine
>>143528591
No, I mean it's obvious when Biba injects him with the White Blood he was given. Go rewatch it.
>>143528572

>>143528613
What? At what point does it show Biba injecting Ikoma, please enlighten me
>>143528575
Bro, I adore slow pretentious wordfests more than anything else, but Luluco and Kabaneri were good at what they wanted to be. I enjoyed them for what they were, without trying to project expectations for a singular concept of "good" on them, and they were better at what they attempted than everything else this season.
>>143528655
lol like I'm gonna spoonfeed

That's it? That's the ending?
>>143528643
Summer is a meme. What you're seeing here is the result of generals and the death of board culture. This is the future you chose. This is the bed we made.
>>143525680
It was alright.
I would of enjoyed it quite a bit more if Ikoma had died at the end.
>>143528589
Best thing to come out of it is definitely the ED. Full version is pure ear orgasm.
>>143525680
can someone explain why MC didn't die? i thought he gave all the "white blood" to mumei.
they seem to be saying biba gave MC his own vial of white blood but when and why?
>>143528575
>where do you people come from?
This is a really good question. I barely can't understand how people can consider it that good.
And why they spawn in threads of other shows just because, if it meant anything at all.
>>143528655
Probably when he shoots him.
>>143528620
>kys
alright we're done here
>>143528530
It's very edgy, but in a fun way. It's not afraid to have humor and cute scenes and laughably stupid over the top shit. So it's not totally brown grimdark shit like Attack on Titan, where the only charm came in a couple Sasha scenes
>>143528287
>it did make sense
>vehicle for the rest of the narrative
So it didn't make sense. The only thing shoe-horned was the plot, where they essentially designed the characters first, came up with the basic premise, and then filled in the gaps as it came, sense and narrative logic be damned. If the entire premise is there to drive the narrative, yet the characters and their motivation itself contrived, then the premise doesn't make sense. It could be replaced with anything.
Pic related: "we need to further the plot, we're short on time, get x character to do it. No explanation needed"
>>143528688
Holy shit, seriously, go rewatch it if you missed it. It's not subtle.
>>143526245
This.
>>143528664
>>143528705
Just re-watched it he had two hands on his sword while he was shot
>>143528711
Is this what autism looks like?
>>143528708
And sit your ass down kid.
>>143528677
>Summer is a meme
I really hope it's not a meme and everything will go back to normal once it ends.
>>143528664
I had no expectations for either of them and it's YOU who are projecting on to me. I love shorts. One of my favourite shows in any medium is a dialogue sparse short.
Get fucked.
The difference is both of those shows were shit. At least Spicy Pepper isn't getting praised as much as Luluco. They're almost as bad as each other honestly (albeit for different reasons).
>>143528740
The bullet was the blood, genius.
>>143528756
Boy you sound angry.
>>143526279
I think the point of the arc was to show kindof a synthesis between them. Between the logic and reason of the human mind, and the love and hope of the human heart.
Also, the threat of the black blood overtaking Ikoma did spice up the finale with a little more suspense, since it added more uncertainty about whether he would live tofill Mumei's belly with rice.
>>143528671
anon..
>>143525680
>sold more than any moe or escapism SOL this season
That's pretty much the only thing it has going for it, and even then it's some shitty AoT sub
>>143528563
Kiznaiver had more and better character development, regardless of its failed premise. Luluco is just Trigger fanservice and forced narrative. They even shoehorned it into Kiznaiver in the last ep, because unpredictable narrative is the only thing going for it.

Vulnerable Mumei is too fucking cute.
>>143528317
Thanks for elucidating, Bill. Fucking Biba.
>All these buttmad people
One thing is for certain, the threads are much more enjoyable than the show.
>>143528805
I think it's more like, Araki was directing AoT, and thought to himself, man this fucking sucks. I could do this better. And then he did.
>>143528755
Sorry newfag. It really isn't. Everything will get worse as you go. Sorry you got here late.
Hopefully you'll try to stave of the shitposting and poor taste but it's a losing battle.
>>143528810
The forced narrative is what makes Luluco good. It's fun to watch
>>143528793
Good call. You got me.
>>143528779
Ah yes, all of a sudden injections can be done from a bullet 8 feet away. Nice.

>>143528711
I mean the whole narrative made sense, not just the Kabane stuff. I don't exactly understand where you draw the line at something "making sense", though. Are you saying you can't accept that things are the way they are because they weren't completely exposed for you? Are you saying that any narrative tool that isn't completely explained can never "make sense" to you and therefore the entire story sucks by default? If you honestly think that then we have very different views of what makes good fiction.
>>143525680
Ending was rushed as fuck, but I'm just glad it's over
>>143528537
Dude fuck off then.
>>143528810
Really impressive character development.
>wow I was being a cunt all this time, Kachon doesn't even like me
>wow we don't need to share physical pain to form bons with each other
>I can't believe we just needed to be friends!
It's cringe, pathetic. Mediocre.
Why didn't they just make a two-factor defence in the outposts, instead of having the train station inside the main outpost? Two walls instead of one, that's all. Lives are at stake, no?
And why was Ikoma the only one to take initiative? Really terrible MC development. Might as well have a sign saying "this is the MC, the rest of the peasants don't matter".
