Being bitten by a zombie is quite troublesome, but more so if you happen not to turn completely into the creature, keeping human sanity while still trying not to succumb to the creature’s hunger. While this premise isn’t totally original, we haven’t seen this in a steampunk version of Japan, where their successful industrial revolution and urbanification has been halted due to the zombies, named as Kabane here. It’s an interesting end to the alternate history franchise, made much more exciting with bloody fight scenes and intriguing reimaginings of the country, but viewers new to the franchise would be going in blind, and would likely be puzzled with the inconsistency and pacing.
Synopsis
In the midst of an industrial revolution, the people of Hinomoto fight hordes of undead creatures, known as Kabane, using powerful armored trains. Half a year after the events of the original TV series, the heroes of the Iron Fortress attempt to take back Unato Castle.
Storyline
Amidst the industrial revolution, hordes of undead creatures, known as Kabane, roam the island country of Hinomoto. However, the heroes of the Iron Fortress steam train attempt to take back Unato Castle.
TLDR
What’s up with zombies and trains, huh?
What stands out
It’s kinda strange for Netflix to make a movie and then chop it up into three episodes to make it seem like a mini-series.
