Kōtetsujo no kabaneri: Unato kessen

The follow up to "Attack on Walking Dead Seraph" has arrived! Half a year on from the events of the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress anime series, the fortified steam locomotive continues to roll across the landscape and now faces the castle of Unato, where the Kabane horde has fortified itself and for some strange reason is using combat tactics that are perhaps a little too advanced for the zombies... The movie has the same characteristics as the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress anime series, and an unsurprising storyline where it gets philosophical about how different the Kabane are from humans again. There is also the expected revelation that the Power of Love is simply too awesome... It is all delivered in a nice graphics package (because Wit Studio really knows how to do that really well), and so some of the fight scenes are, once again, a feast for the eyes. I was surprised how short it was. After all, the movie’s running time is only sixty-eight minutes long, however, otherwise, I found most of it quite predictable really... The plot is quite average, and it was the action scenes, animation, and soundtrack that impressed me most about the movie, and thanks to them I am awarding it 6.7/10. (29/11/2020)
