Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress (2016)

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri / 甲鉄城のカバネリ

Information

Description

The world is in the middle of an industrial revolution when almost immortal monsters shows up, which turn humans into undead creatures through infection: the Kabane. These creatures’ only weakness lies in their hearts, which are however protected by a thick layer of iron, so it would take enormous firepower or physical strength to destroy them.

On the island of Hinomoto in the far east, people have built stations to protect themselves from these creatures. The transport of people and goods between these stations takes place with the help of huge steam locomotives Hayajiro. Ikoma, a boy who lives in a town called Aragane Station, helps building these locomotives. He has created his own weapon called Tsuranukizutsu to fight these evil creatures.

When one day his home is overrun by Kabane, he and other survivors try to save themselves aboard the Koutetsujou. After being bitten while successfully fending off a Kabane, he decides to sacrifice himself to allow the others to escape. At the last second, however, he is saved by the mysterious Mumei, who explains what he has become: a hybrid of human and Kabane – a Kabaneri.

Annotation
:
The first four episodes were shown in Japanese cinemas from March 18th. Regular TV airing began on April 8th.
Die Welt befindet sich inmitten einer industriellen Revolution, als nahezu unsterbliche Monster erscheinen und durch Infektionen Menschen in untote Kreaturen verwandeln: die Kabane. Die einzige Schwäche dieser Monster scheint in ihren Herzen zu liegen, doch diese sind durch eine dicke Schicht aus Eisen geschützt, sodass man enorme Feuerkraft oder körperliche Stärke bräuchte, um diese zu zerstören.

Auf der Insel Hinomoto im fernen Osten haben die Menschen Stationen gebaut, um sich vor diesen Kreaturen zu schützen; der Transport von Personen und Waren zwischen diesen Stationen findet mit Hilfe von riesigen Dampflokomotiven, genannt Hayajiro, statt. Der erfindungsreiche Ikoma hilft nicht nur dabei, diese Lokomotiven zu bauen, er hat auch seine eigene Waffe entwickelt, um die bösartigen Kreaturen damit zu bekämpfen.

Als eines Tages seine Heimat, die Aragane-Station, von Kabane überrannt wird, versucht er sich mit weiteren Überlebenden an Bord der Koutetsujou zu retten. Nachdem er bei der erfolgreichen Abwehr eines Kabanes gebissen wurde, entschließt er sich dazu, sich selbst zu opfern, um den anderen die Flucht zu ermöglichen. In letzter Sekunde wird er jedoch von der geheimnisvollen Mumei gerettet, die ihm erklärt, was er geworden ist: ein Hybrid aus Mensch und Kabane – ein Kabaneri.

Anmerkung:
Die ersten vier Episoden wurden ab dem 18. März in den japanischen Kinos gezeigt. Die reguläre TV-Ausstrahlung begann am 8. April.
