But they needed something to make a cliffhanger! God I hate cliffhangers. One of the cheapest tricks to keep people watching... Yes, more please. Even though that's not how physics works, I'll still take more of it. | ||

I mean, that would be fairly high up the list of important stuff to tell someone who just turned into a Kabaneri. And she has seen him fighting for quite a while - outside the train, remember? -, so him getting hungry was just a matter of time. But yeah, I agree on the cliffhanger thing. I appreciate it much more when an issue or topic is resolved by the end of an episode in a satisfying way. If they show me competence in how the resolve their things, I am much more inclined to watch the next episode, thinking along the lines of "I like how they resolved X, I wonder what's the next topic they'll bring up and I'm curious how they handle that one". Fake tension and cliffhangers are a tool for shows who are not confident enough in their ability to keep the audience hooked through good characters, story or writing in general. There are, of course, exceptions to this... | ||

Kabaneri probably cant produce blood so they need to eat it or something. The situation they were in where they were stuck in a cart for the rest of the trip alone together she figured they'd not run into a situation where MC would be stabbed and bleed out when she wasn't there. And Mumei clearly isn't the caring, mentor-type more of a 'my pace' type of character so probably just focused on training him so he could act as a shield for her and be useful, possible tool?, to accomplish her mission | ||

It is a really interesting franchise that really draws you in. The characters are great, the plots are pretty solid, and can provoke some thoughts on various subjects if you so desire. Will be neat to see the manga version of the major and to also have more information through the walls of text that the author apparently likes to use. | ||

Also, in case anyone is wondering where all the "wtf" is from Trigger this season - they stuffed it into Luluco. Fortunately, it's a short, so things not making any sense doesn't cause aneurysms. ... + Show Spoiler [Lost Village] + Seriously, suspension of disbelief is getting tougher to maintain because, of all the bad things happening, everyone's like "NO U!" while Lovepon is sitting there going totally frustrated psycho yandere kill everything repeatedly while the harshest reaction is "Oh, Lovepon..." Forget Jack, Worthless MC, eccentric girl - Lovepon is over the top red-herring worthy psycho and everyone just kindof shrugs and starts running Mafia around her outbursts. Also, Lion-san awesome. | ||

I can count the number of rational characters on one hand, which is problematic when the show's trying to be serious. Doesn't help that the MC's one of the worst characters in recent memory. Lol, very true. It's amazing how dumb the characters are acting. MC is one of the worst offenders, and + Show Spoiler + him guarding the girls made me laugh... I'm sure each of the girls would be a better guardian. Okay maybe aside from Masaki, though she seems suspicious so who knows. | ||

I won't really link but from what I know, he did SnK, A/Z, Guilty Crown, Kill la Kill, Nanatsu no Taizai, Ao no Exorcist, Owari no Seraph and he's doing Kabaneri now and i really like his compositions so that's just my personal preference towards OSTs involving him as a composer. | ||
