kabaneri of the iron fortress final thoughts






Well didn't that go out with a bang. That was one way to end a good series. Kanbaneri of the Iron Fortress was one of the better shows of the spring season. For starters it was visually stunning at points and plot wise very engaging and captivating.


The last episode of the series happen to be the most bloodiest the shows ever been since it started.  Ikoma who managed to unlock his bad ass mode and Kurusu lay to waste all those un dead Kabaneri's who happen to fall victim to them all in a attempt to stop Biba from wrecking more damage than he already has and save Mumei.

Biba was the series main antagonist (besides the kabaneri) who appered in episode 8-9 and since his arival he has been dub "LOCAL MAN RUINS EVERYTHING"  by some or at least me.


Not amused by Ikoma or Kurusu antics he sends a few of his henchmen to lay waste to them. However, forgetting that Ikoma is in badass mode  he takes out a few including the leader of them

Mumei while being the heart of the mega kabaneri and trapped in what i can only assume is a Photoshop hell hears ikoma calling out to her and not one to have his plan ruin Biba decides NOW he would actually do something. Ikoma leave kurusu to fight the Kabaneri while he goes fight Biba.


Biba and Ikoma had one hell of a fight. From stabbing to this shit


All in all that fight was amazing but it wasn't the end apparently.  Somehow Mumei manages to excape her photoshop hell and survey the area and sees a bloody, damaged Ikoma on the ground and thanks him for saving her. Biba not one to be taken down so easily apparently unlocked his ultimate boss bad ass mode and comes for the unconscious  Ikoma while mumei watches.


 Mumei fed up with Biba shit finally puts a end to his reign by stabin him in his kabaneri heart.

It ended on a happy note however as Mumei dragged Ikoma body and met up with Kurusu and the all got on the train like this
and once a un conscious ikoma woke up mumei return the jewel shard she held on to that help Ikoma find her in the first place.


Iron fortress was made by the person who either wrote or directeced AOT(Attack on titans) so i can see why people dubbed t AOT with trains for there were some simularty between the two. The simularites end with the introduction of Biba for we now have a new main evil character and not just a collective group  to hate like we did in AOT of course someone could argue that we had annie to hate but that was near the end hell that was during the last two episode. Here we had Biba to hate during the later half. The character desings remind me of that of any 80's or early 90's action anime by Osuma Tezuka.

Sound-9
Characters-9.5
Plot-9
Art-10
Overall-10

Enjoyable from begining to the end it had little lack luster points. This show will keep you enthralled with it action, good characters and all that good old violence from taking out hords of kabaneri or just bad guys.

Watch it now that its over.
