The first episode felt dark, intense, and surprisingly unique. Its old-time setting gave it a classic feel, while the sad atmosphere and zombie apocalypse vibe made everything more gripping. The lead was presented really well, making it a strong and impressive start.

The first episode pulls me in right away, the atmosphere starting out tense and the steampunk setting is really cool too! If you like AOT you might like this

Ep starts with an epic action scene on a train that lasts for a few mins, the animation literally gave aot vibe, the creatures feel like a mix of titans and zombies imo, world building is epic, overall, a very good and engaging opening for a first episode.

Steampunk Japan, zombie Kabane, walled stations, train escape. Ikoma's an engineer who survives a bite through insane self-surgery. Gorgeous animation, relentless pacing, pure chaotic hype. Attack on Titan with trains? You're in.

EPISODE CONTEXT

As episode 1 of 12, 'Frightened Corpse' is pure foundation—establishing the world's rules, the Kabane threat, and the key players who will drive the entire season. Everything introduced here, from Ikoma's secret weapon project to Mumei's mysterious arrival, becomes essential connective tissue for the escalating conflict ahead. The next episode, 'Never-Ending Darkness,' intensifies the survival stakes and begins revealing the true scope of what these characters are up against.
