This series might be better than Shingeki no Kyojin! (in my opinion only, LOL) But seriously, the first episode got me hooked, big time! It shares the same theme as SnK where people built walls to repel "monsters" from the outside. From what I've seen, it's setting is from the old era where people still used steam locomotives, but of course it's in Japan, and much like in SnK, there are people who guard and fight against the Kabaneri (what they named the monsters). Read on to see screenshots of the first episode!
I should warn you, this sh*t is very gory. (you will see in the screenshots) Not only does it have terrifying creatures, you will see a lot of blood everywhere as well. If you have a weak heart then this anime is certainly not for you. But if you're okay with things like that then you're really in for a treat! I know it's too early to be judging, but based on what I've seen on the first episode, I'm pretty sure this series would be one to watch out for this season.
If you could see in the screenshots above, the girl's hair was almost ripped off of her head. (that must've hurt A LOT) that's the very first time I saw that happen in an anime (no kidding) and a lot of other things happened as well after this part, someone even committed suicide because he got bitten by a Kabaneri.
Moving on from the gore part, let's admire the art style of this anime! Just look at the screenshots above, you could tell that the artists really worked hard in achieving this. It reminds me of Hayao Miyazaki's art style in a way.
I highly suggest you guys watch this series this season as I'm going to put it on my Season's Recommended list (yes, that's a new list for my recommendations per new season XD) and I assure you that this will be exciting and fun to watch! :D
