Let me dig up my old end season review of the first season:
| LuckyTrouble said: Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress ended...okay. I have mixed feelings about this one. The characters were interesting, and the Kabane were an okay variation on your standard zombie enemy. Unfortunately, the abilities of the Kabaneri were only briefly touched on, really. I thought the motivations for the human enemies were a little bit lacking too, and that other parts of the show were not nearly explained well enough. Okay, research has happened, but where did the white blood and black blood come from? How were they derived? With proper usage, how strong could a Kabaneri become? Are there other types of blood that can augment Kabaneri ability? How exactly is a Kabaneri even made? Is it a product of will power, or do the restraints make all the difference? Both? The biggest kick is probably that the final confrontation felt rushed, and nothing important was resolved when the show ended. I felt like nobody really accomplished much of anything towards an overall goal, though character development was at least pretty solid. It was mostly a dwindling human population getting each other killed and adding to the Kabane population. Solid work, all. Overall Kabaneri is probably about a 7.5/10. Not bad by any stretch, but not nearly meeting the potential it showed in its first episode. |
The 7.5 was a bit generous. I'd say after having time to think on it a bit and mull it over, 6/10 is more appropriate. A show with no clear goal, no resolution, and poorly developed enemies doesn't exactly scream "sequel material," but maybe the second season will help address ways the first sucked.
In unrelated news, Days, that soccer anime that I'm pretty sure I've been the only one here watching for two straight seasons, will be getting another season next year. No specified season at this time which makes me think Summer 2017 or Fall 2017 are likely candidates.
