1x04 Flowing Blood

Quick recap: The Kabaneri heroes are not trusted after the incident that happened last episode so they're placed at the back of the train for safety reasons. I know the samurai are just doing their job and keeping the royals and their people safe even though they can be jerks sometimes. The Kabaneri heroes would somehow have to earn the people's trust again in the next Kabane attack. They're met with the more powerful Kabane this time, and so this the chance for the Kabaneri to redeem themselves.
So now the next attack comes, and we get this nicely detailed cinematic shot of the Ikoma and Mumei dashing atop accompanied yet again with a vocal rock song to amp up the feel of the scene. Personally, I would prefer it just be orchestral/symphonic, but maybe the contemporary music is there to give it a sense of importance or something. This is just how Japanese cinema is now when it comes to their action films; just add a rock song in the background to be "cool". I'm not impressed with the music choice of that scene but whatever.
It's still a really good episode in the end. We learn a bit more about the characters, and what they're capable of. It was also nice to see Ayame getting in on the action too. If there's one episode to show someone a sneak peak of what goes on early on, I would show this one. I hope we see more environmental sceneries like that wide angle shot at the end with the view of the land as the train moves ahead; that was a beautiful shot. I liked how that end theme song just slow fades in and into the credits. Parts of the song's melody (and harmony) sounds very similar to "Simple and Clean" by Utada Hikaru.
