What exactly makes Kabaneri of the Iron Fortess a copy of AoT? I've never seen it, but I'm just curious.

"Several decades ago, humanoid monsters that prey on humans suddenly appeared and almost exterminated mankind. These monsters are mindless and seemingly unkillable, unless you target their only weak spot with a special steam-powered device carried on the waist. The survivors build walled cities in order to protect themselves, until one day the monsters breach and overrun the city of the protagonist, who turns out to possess monster powers while retaining his human intelligence, and is aided by an abnormally skilled female partner."

And that's the plot of the-clone-that-should-not-be-mentioned and culprit-of-AoT-Season-2-delay. Yeah, I was reading its summary on Wikipedia and was like, "Well, it's not really that similar," but then I read the part about him being able to transform into a monster and thought, "Oh, yep. It's a total ripoff."

Wow... that truly is similar. The only difference I can see is that KoFT looks like it's in a somewhat more modern setting.
