Tetsuro Araki directed Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress at WIT Studio, with series composition by Ichiro Okouchi, original character designs by Haruhiko Mikimoto and music by Hiroyuki Sawano. The series originally broadcast in the spring season of 2016. Crunchyroll currently streams Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress , and describes the story: At a time when the industrial revolution was carrying the world into the modern age, a horde of undead monsters suddenly appeared. They could not be killed unless their hearts, which were protected by a layer of iron, were pierced. These undead, which would later be known as "Kabane," exploded in population until they finally overran the world. The people of Hinomoto, built fortresses known as "stations" that have allowed them to survive the threat of the Kabane.
