Seasons/Episodes: Ongoing
Synopsis: As the world is in the middle of an industrial revolution, a monster appears that cannot be defeated unless its heart, which is protected by a layer of iron, is pierced. By infecting humans with its bite, the monster can create aggressive and undead creatures known as Kabane. On the island Hinomoto, located in the far east, people have built stations to shelter themselves from these creatures. People access the station, as well as transport wares between them, with the help of a locomotive running on steam, called Hayajiro. Ikoma, a boy who lives in the Aragane station and helps to build Hayajiro, creates his own weapon called Tsuranukizutsu in order to defeat the creatures. One day, as he waits for an opportunity to use his weapon, he meets a girl named Mumei, who is excused from the mandatory Kabane inspection. During the night, Ikoma meets Mumei again as he sees Hayajiro going out of control. The staff on the locomotive has turned into the creatures. The station, now under attack by Kabane, is the opportunity Ikoma has been looking for.
Opinion: Although the anime isn't complete yet, this show has provided with an interesting show to watch. The plot is not original since it contains the same apocalyptic setting as others. Despite that, it manages to still bring a story that captures the viewer's interest. The characters are somewhat poor. They have yet to bring character development even though they are on episode 9. I would like it if the story trailed off from what I expect it to be and provide the viewers with a plot twist. The soundtrack, especially the OST, fits into the anime extremely well.
