Kino's Journey
Kino's Journey
Synopsis, screenshots, recommendations ~ Add Recommendations Discuss individual episodes and first impressions of this anime here; reviews and final impressions should be posted in the Anime Reviews Forum. Post format and full rules can be found here. __________________________________________ Although we have the Kino's Journey movie, we don't seem to have the series. Well, it's time to correct that! This is one of my favorites. You get to explore all these unique, original lands. It makes you feel like some 17th century explorer! But there'll be plenty of time to talk about how awesome this show is later.

Re: Kino's Journey
Love this series. Ryutaro Nakamura, the director brings over a couple of stylistic touches I liked from Lain - like his interest in text printed on a screen. As with that previous series he turns out something I consider absolutely superb. Which reminds me, I must get Ghost Hound one of these days...
Fun fact: In the first movie, Kino is shown a map of the country she's in. This is an unaltered map of Ireland, even more puzzling as the country is connected to others by land.

Re: Kino's Journey
Three posts?! *staggered*
This is my favourite series to date, and definitely deserves more attention than it seems to be getting (yet, I've seen that numerous people on the forum like this one...). The exposition in regards to human nature and emotion in general is wonderfully done, and everything just seems to fit perfectly together. Even the visuals and soundtrack are all geared towards making the experience wholesome and...uh, easy to relate to. I wanted to say 'earthy', but that's not quite the right word, I feel. Kino's a really great character too, considering how little dialogue and general action there is from her in comparison to other anime. On the whole, it feels like a really cohesive project where all the elements work together to a single point, and I feel that the understated nature of the premise helps this a lot. My inane babbling aside, I'd recommend this to more or less anyone who's capable of coherent thought (alcohol be damned!).

Re: Kino's Journey
While it wasn't the first to do the stand alone stories/format, it was probably the most successful. Well until Mushishi anyways. Even so, it was an incredibly refreshing series, that didn't rely on gimmick and got over with its fans on story and character depth alone. Very good anime, indeed.

Re: Kino's Journey
I asked this elsewhere but it's probably better here.
When should I watch the second movie? A set place or is it just like in King of Bandits Jing where everything petty unconnected so I'd just as well watch it as the end?

Re: Kino's Journey
I recently finished watching it. It's a really good anime, just too bad I couldn't see the symbols I read about in AP. I should be more educated
 After being done with an episode I was touched but not thoughtful.
