Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

Steam‑powered trains race against steel‑hearted monsters in a brutal fight for humanity's survival.

Amid the clanking gears of a steam‑powered age, a virulent plague spawns the Kabane—metal‑skinned revenants that rip flesh from any who cross their path. Their only weakness is a steel‑cored heart, and any bite turns a victim into one of the very monsters they fear. Humanity huddles behind towering walls, and the last bastion of hope is the ironclad train network that shuttles supplies and soldiers across the desolate landscape. Enter Ikoma, a brilliant but cocky engineer obsessed with forging a weapon capable of piercing those cursed hearts. When a sudden Kabane onslaught forces the trains into battle, Ikoma’s prototype is thrust into the front lines—only to reveal a darker twist: a young passenger, Yomogawa, survives a bite only to become a half‑human, half‑Kabane hybrid known as a Kabaneri. Together, they must navigate a world where trust is scarce, the line between monster and man blurs, and every whistle of the locomotive could herald either salvation or annihilation.

A steampunk zombie survival series with relentless, visceral action and high body counts. Expect intense gore, frightening infection mechanics, and desperate characters making grim choices in a bleak industrial world.
