| What... why, what's the point? I didn't think this anime was very well received anyway? |

| If you're making 2 movies for a 12 episodes series it's not really "recaps" anyone. |

Ah guess that kind of makes sense. I wonder if they'll announce a third movie after the two recaps. I still haven't seen the end of the anime so don't really know if it can be carried on, but I'm assuming so? |
| recaps movies? Really. Kill me |
 |
| Not sure what would be the point of the recap movies when you can just watch the actual series. But if they do end up containing new footage, then I suppose that's the incentive. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |

It allows people to sit in theater and get the whole experience without sitting through the show at home. |
|
| Not really surprised, Wit Studio did the same with SnK and even then it was completely pointless, this has half the episode length... |
................................................................................. |
| Two movies... why don't you just watch the show at this point? It'll take a couple hours extra, I guess, but I mean, the show's not long... |
✧ |
| just.... just why god dammit |
  |
Two recap movies were announced for Koutetsujou no Kabanari Lol...Seriously?Nice one...This is what people should be calling as "milking", not some show getting a proper sequel ;_; |
 |
| Hmm... Dunno, if I on this announcement hyped should be or not. Because the plots was until to end clear and understandable, where then these movies questionable are... - Plus how long should or will be the duration of the two movies? Because the playtime of the series was together (12×22 min.) 4,4 hours long, this means then about 2 hours duration each other? If they it about ~ 1:30:00 make would, then this would mean: that some scenes of the TV-version cut will...>_> But let's see... |
 |
| thats just retarded. |
 |
| lol, they are starting to get crazy. i don't see any merit in it. |
 |
| I will never understand the need for recap movies....what the hell is the point of it? |
| 2 recap movies for an anime with 12 episodes? What a joke. |
 |
| Not interested.................................... |
| I hope this doesn't delay SnK season 2 again. The fans have suffered enough lol. |

Phlippy said: I just don't get why something like 'recap movies' even exist. Kuroko no basket: 25 episodes into one movie -> too much cut Kabaneri: 12 episodes into two movies -> more or less the same length, so why not watch the series? And if it's only for extra scenes, they can release an OVA or something Easy/Extra money I guess? Probably easy and cheap to produce and put out there and then they'd make money off whatever suckers go to watch it. |
| At least the character design was good, and the theme songs. Shame how fast he show fell apart half way through.... And giving him basically in the end was kinda hilarious in how lazy it was. |
 |
| im just gonna watch the new scenes of those and skip all the recap scenes |
| "recap" I almost threw up :( |
 |
| I've never been a fan of recap movies myself. I've already seen everything, I know what's going to happen so why should I watch it again? The changes in scenes or whatever aren't enough to pique my interest. I understand if a series is 24 episodes long and gets a recap movie or a shorter length series getting one in anticipation of a movie but two recap movies for a 12 episode series seems kind of ridiculous. I know they did the same with Madoka Magica but they at least followed it up with an original movie. It may be too early for us to know if an original movie will come put for Kabaneri but at this point in time I do not see and am not excited for these two recaps. |

 |
| Why bother re-telling such a lackluster plot. |
 |
| WIT BE MILKIN DAT COW Honestly this is so pointless. Why bother to pay to go see the same content in a theater when you can watch the show in the comfort of your home? The series was lackluster anyway. |

| I remember people saying this was better than AoT... At the end it was a complete trainwreck and a poor rip off, they should focus on AoT instead of this. |
 At least the Madoka movies was made to lead into the third film and weren't announced around the time the last episode aired. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| lol recap movies.. like i wanna watch that trainwreck again. |
