The 2016 TV anime was directed by Tetsuro Araki at WIT Studio, with series composition by Ichiro Okouchi, character designs by Haruhiko Mikimoto, and music by Hiroyuki Sawano. The series originally aired during the Spring 2016 anime season.
Crunchyroll describes the anime as follows:
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. Ikoma is a young steamsmith living at Aragane Station, working on developing a unique anti-Kabane weapon called a “piercing gun”.
