+====== Koutetsujou no Kabaneri ======
+**{{ruby|甲鉄|こうてつ}}{{ruby|城|じょう}}のカバネリ**(Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress) is an anime about a group of people who live on an armored train to survive the zombie apocalypse. Also, there are vampires. Did I mention it's steampunk mixed with sengoku aesthetics? You have steam guns and **steam bows** and it's **//awesome//**.

+===== Review =====
+The world is one of a sengoku/shogunate-era steampunk Japan. There are also zombies, which people just call 'corpses.'\\
+One day, the Iron Fortress comes to a settlement. The day is fairly peaceful...until another armored train crashes into their settlement's wall, which lets a bunch of corpses in. The settlement is lost, so the survivors gather and escape on the Iron Fortress. One of the survivors **Ikoma** almost gets turned into a corpse, but he manages to prevent that. However, it's soon revealed by another survivor, Mumei (No-name), that he actually became a 'Kabaneri' (translated as demicorpse sometimes). These are basically vampires: blood drinking but no sunlight issues.
+The first half of the series focuses on the survivors trying to survive in the world. In the second half, the series shifts to a sort of drama series, where the people of the Iron Fortress get caught in a violent power struggle. The shift isn't //too// jarring, and it's possible the survival aspect would have gotten old...hence the shift.
+The animation is great for the series, I would frequently find myself practically drooling over the animation.\\
+The setting and general worldbuilding is really interesting to me. The blending of the sengoku/shogunate-era with steampunk works incredibly well, and it reminds me somewhat of the eclectic styles of the Meiji-era.
+The villain has a name I find hilarious: **Biba**.
