Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

Aired: 2016

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is an original TV anime produced by WIT STUDIO, directed by Tetsuro Araki, aired from April 2016. Set in a world reminiscent of industrial revolution-era Japan overrun by undead monsters called "Kabane," the series follows Ikoma, a "Kabaneri" who was bitten but didn't fully turn, as he boards the armored steam locomotive "Iron Fortress" and fights alongside the mysterious girl Mumei. This Japanese steampunk action received high praise for its intense action and rich worldbuilding.
