Kabaneri

I liked this episode and was disappointed when everyone on Sup Forums hated it.

The visuals were beautiful, the first half was very enjoyable and the second half, when everything goes wrong, was still pretty good albeit tragic.

They praise any aspect of Kabaneri

Kabaneri was 9/10 for 3 episodes, 8/10 for the next 3, then 5/10 for the last 6.

>no halo
Biba is alive.

I think you mean 5/10, 6/10, and 9/10

That or you're a retarded millennial that needs more pulp scifi in his life

Went to shit but still loved it

>Says the underage who apparently needs more Naruto in his life.
I've never seen a series shit the bed as hard as this one

You need to learn how to hide your projection, user. Not everyone has such deep regret for their past shit taste as you do.

I didn't like it from the start, it felt like an artificial mashup of Attack on Ttian with more edge and marketing research behind it. I was honestly surprised so many people got hyped up for this on Sup Forums compared to something like Tanaka-kun or Macross.

>Caring about what Sup Forums thinks

This series is literally Naturo. Funny how you talk about past shit taste when you're currently eagerly slurping up the biggest shit smoothie of last season.

I didn't know Kabaneri was an adaptation of a shounen manga aimed at schoolkids with hundreds of episodes and absolutely no reference to any of the movements the happened in new age fiction.

I like to talk about kabaneri user, that's all.

I didn't know you would actually reply to that seriously.

Good thing I didn't.

...

I enjoyed the series as a whole.
I thought there was going to be more train porn.
Biba was a dumb bad guy. His character was nihilism personified and its unlikely he would have found many people to follow him.
The importance of Ikoma developing an effective weapon against the Kabane was almost immediately undermined by the previous existence of weapons that could also be used at range.
The show failed to live up to its initial potential by introducing a generic bad guy with generic ambitions of resetting humanity. If he had any intention of the human race surviving, destroying what infrastructure was left is a horrible plan.
The show looked exquisite. I wish more anime looked like this.

I forgot to mention that this guy was my favorite. So many anime introduce the "I can speak English!" guy, who then proceeds to butcher the language. It was refreshing to have a character that actually spoke English. The weird Japanglish he spoke was a bonus and made an otherwise background character stand out.

OH GOD HOW I LOVE SHADING

Amazing visuals and unique setting (steampunk feudal Japan), weak villain. Could have been so much more.
7/10. Maybe 8/10 if you don't expect good storytelling.

I liked it. I don't know what people were expecting.

he was literally exiled along with an entire military troupe. they would follow him.
>The importance of Ikoma developing an effective weapon against the Kabane
not important at all
>The show failed to live up to its initial potential by introducing a generic bad guy
it never had any potential to be anything but another interpretation of the 1960s pulp science fiction agenda
>generic bad guy with generic ambitions of resetting humanity
literally not his ambition
>If he had any intention of the human race surviving, destroying what infrastructure was left is a horrible plan.
he had no plan at all you know
good taste

Shingeki no Kyojin with shading and no basement. Truly everything was wrong with their expectations.

OK, so, like, explain Biba's goals. Complete destruction?

I'm an emotional edgelord that wants to justify taking revenge against his abusive dad, who happens to be the ruler of a nation that's struggling against an ultimate evil.

Yeah, but he talked a lot about humans being cowards and whatever living in their walled cities. If all he really cared about was killing his father, he wouldn't have made such a big deal about it, and he could have done it without wiping out everything in his path. He was able to turn his father into a Kabane when they were allowed into the city; there was no reason to sack the whole city as well unless he had other agendas.

>Yeah, but he talked a lot about humans being cowards
That's because his dad projected his flaws onto him. He was coping by prrojecting that trauma onto humanity itself.
>If all he really cared about was killing his father, he wouldn't have made such a big deal about it
You underestimate the moral weight of killing the leader of a nation that's struggling against pure evil.

>So many anime introduce the "I can speak English!"
YOU SAID THE MAGIC WORDS!

There are plenty of English speaking foreigners living in Japan. Come on, guys...

I really is laziness on their part. If they gave two shits at all they could find someone who was actually fluent in English to either coach the VA or do the lines themselves.

I'm starting to wonder if the PAs just write the English phonetically in Japanese and the VAs just read straight from that without even giving a shit.

As far as I remember, Japanese students learn English as a required coarse in high school, but like most of their curriculum is based on strict wrote memorization rather than learning it in any way that could be useful. On the plus side, a large number of Japanese can put together barely passable English sentences, enough to convey very basic ideas.
I took two semesters of Japanese in college and while I'm sure my pronunciation isn't perfect, it has to be five million times better than most attempts at English I've heard from anime.

They used to teach english pronunciation in kana, and rely on ALTs to fill in the gaps. It's literally only in the past year or two that they've stopped teaching pronunciation in kana.

Who'd want to interact with actualy english speakers in Japan anyway? It's all a bunch of disgusting weeabs.

Fair point. It's kinda hard to imagine a world without American or English entertainment.
I'm sure there are plenty of westaboos out there though.Most of them are probably on this chan.

Biba singlehandedly ruined the show.
