Koutetsujou no Kabaneri – 03 - Anime Evo

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri is a bit of a shameless show isn't it? It'll take established tropes, cliches and ideas from wherever it can, and use them to its own ends. Thankfully, however, those ends revolve around captivating and entertaining the audience rather than something more sinister or annoying. And while the show is still kind of stuck in the "fun" but not "great" category, its still doing well for itself three episodes in. There's a lot to unpack in this episode, but lets start with the reveal at the very end. So Kabaneri are basically vampires? Yeah seems like it. I'm not entirely sure how something in between a zombie and a human is suddenly a vampire, but in this show's universe and fiction, Kabaneri have bodies that are fast healing, super strong and almost indestructible, except for the fact that they hunger for blood. I'm honestly not sure how to take this last minute twist, because it definitely feels like it comes out of nowhere.
