Was Kino created just to suffer?

>>139031293
Yes and we get the privilege to watch it happen.

>>139031293
We just don't know.

Kino's Journey is my favorite anime.

KINO IS CUTE. CUTE!

>>139031469
spoiler that shit fucking faggot

i wish more LNs got adapted

That episode about books and critics was pretty fucking stupid and meta but also wasn't?

I loved how Kino and Hermes just brushed it off as everyone is crazy as I had the exact same feelings throughout.

>>139032207
I wish more LNs got translated. I want more of Kino's Journey.

>>139032340
Translating novels requires actual writing skills though

Is the anime better than the LN? I thought the book was dull and kiddish.

>>139032394
Looks like I have no choice but to learn Japanese specifically to read Kino's Journey.

>>139032737
That would still require you to learn Japanese on the same level as the novelist though

>>139032760
These books are intended to be read by kids.

>>139032824
Well then you can expect someone to translate it.

Is it worth watching? The character design is off putting

This would be a bannable offence if Kinomod is still around.

Of course it's worth the watch, Kino is one of the essentials for me.

>>139034229
>>139034345
I watched the first episode and although I liked the atmosphere, I didn't like how the characters looked. I'll try again I guess

>>139034380
I can't even fathom how that could get a person to stop watching a show. Did it make you nauseated?

>>139034445
What are you talking about? How a show looks is a big factor. Even if the story's good, the visuals are important too.

vroom vroom

Hopefully yen press picks this up.

>>139034229
It's really not that great, the LN design is much better. Kino's head is so circular in the anime.

>>139034477
But it has good, if unique, visuals.

>>139034526
Well, it came out in 2003, you can't expect that much. I still don't think the anime design looks bad.

>>139034477
We're not talking about the entirety of the visuals, we're talking about solely the character design.

I read though all the translated novels recently. I loved it but I didn't expect so many of the stories to be so political. The author must have a pretty strong libertarian streak.

>>139034576

What does that even mean?

>>139035025
Nobody knew how to make good anime until Kyoani invented moe with K-On in 2009.

>tfw kino's bike is expensive and rare as fuck
>tfw motorcycle license is too difficult for my autistic brain

>>139035319
But a motorcycle license (in the US at least) is easy as fuck compared to a car license. You take a written exam to get a learner's permit, then go buy a turbo 'busa or something and if you haven't killed yourself in 6 months, you take an easy skills test and you're done.

That Brough Superior SS100 though. Gotta be one the best looking bikes ever made.
