they are destroying the things I love and im not strong enough to resist
Kino is the best thing to happen to /a/ in a long while.
>>161322189
I don't know what you're talking about OP. Kino has always been pure sex beneath her jacket.
Just finished watching this, will the new anime cover new stories, remake the old ones or a mix of both?
>>161322407
A mix of both but we're certainly getting new content since Ti, Master, and Master's boytoy are going to be in it meaning we might get the Boat story. Also means less Kino though.
>>161322377
LIESSS
>>161322874
I wouldn't mind if they remade ones I liked, Land Of Prophecies for instance but not A Kind Land, that one hit like a truck at the end once you remembered all the little things.
>>161323212
If you were at a private beach alone with Kino and you saw pic related, how would you react?
[ ] Put it in
[ ] Genuflect
[ ] Save Illya.
Why does Kino look like a bulldyke now?
>>161322407
Probably mix of both.
>>161325763
Better a dyke than a potato.
>>161323303
>Legs
Nani?
>>161325763
>bulldyke
>implying this haircut isn't one of the best a tomboy can have
>>161325955
Can you stop calling her a potato? Stop being rude.
>>161325955
But I like the potato.
Both are good
>>161326024
Would you prefer "The Pillsbury Doughgirl"?
>>161325955
No. That dyke look is fucking disgusting and will look worse with the anime's QUALITY. I want cute childish Kino back.
>>161326024
Kino is not a potato.
>>161326099
I'd prefer you to stop being rude and criticizing my waifu.
>>161326139
>childish Kino
This is your Kino now.
So is Kino a boy or a girl?
Does he/she get a gf or bf in the novels?
>>161325955
She's a cute potato though.
>>161326400
Kill yourself
>>161326400
Kino is female.
>>161326400
Kino is Kino.
Also lurk more and google it faggot
>>161326400
>So is Kino a boy or a girl?
Kino was a boy, then Kino became a girl.
>Does he/she get a gf or bf in the novels?
Yes. Here's Kino with her girlfriend (male), xxxxx. She is only 12-years old.
>>161326503
Both of those are Kino though
>>161326503
Kill yourself
>>161322189
Funny story, when I started watching the anime I thought that kino was a boy. Is this intentional on the part of the creator?
>>161326676
Yes.
>>161326676
>I started watching
Did you not finish it either? It's literally explained why she dresses the way she does.
>>161326751
nope, i dropped it pretty soon after i realized how dark the show was going to be. to be honest I'm not even sure why i'm in this thread.
>>161326751
>It's literally explained why she dresses the way she does.
Pretty sure her clothes are just a gift from Master, but she stopped wearing dresses by the time she got them.
>>161326849
>after i realized how dark the show was going to be
The series is more of a sunrise/sunset kind of show than a new moon midnight or early, early morning kind of show. There's lighthearted stories mixed in with the more somber, violent or sad stories and not everything ends on a sobering self-reflective note. Case in point, here's a picture of Kino from one of the stories where she gets really excited over being able to cook food for a bunch of people.
>>161323303
I'd be very impressed that she carried those colossal ice cream stacks from wherever the ice cream store is without them falling over or even melting at all.
>>161322189
i remenber it
the new kino seems to be quit a bit older to me
>>161329587
Kino has been 1X-years old for the 17 years it has been around.
Why does she wear a helmet?
>>161330034
I know its just if you're comparing their body the new kino shes alot taller and more developed
>>161330521
>shes alot taller
She's not a dwarf like 2003 Kino.
>more developed
They're both really flat, anon I have no idea how you see either one as having more physical development.
>>161322189
>this is your hermes in the current year
cut my life into pieces
>>161330898
I totally forgot they will surely make Hermes appear as CGI in a shitton of shots. Too bad.
>>161322189
By the way, here are character design sheets from the manga
>>161330898
I want to be this motorrad.
>>161331017
>>161331052
>>161331017
>>161331052
I only just realized Kino keeps her hat's earflaps up with her goggles. I always thought they were just part of the sides of her hat.
>>161331052
>draw a faggy light novel mc
>say it's a girl
I hate the new design.
>>161331240
Be glad Kino isn't an isekai protagonist and that she doesn't have a gaggle of men that stick around and want to fuck her.
>>161331105
They're tied up at the top, that's how you wear the hat if you're not in Russia and it's not the middle of winter.
SJWs have rewritten the Kino wiki page.
In the story Country of Adults -Natural Rights- (大人の国 -Natural Rights-), Kino recalls living as a girl in the Country of Adults before meeting Hermes and borrowing the name "Kino" from another traveler.[4]:166-198 However, in the present Kino does not seem to identify as female or male
>>161331790
Kino is Kino, I'd say they got that right.
>>161331790
Why should anyone care?
>>161331817
This. Though I guess "does not seem to identify as female or male" is a pretty political statement these days.
This show's seriously made me consider buying a Brough Superior, but haven't had the courage to pull the trigger. I'd have to sacrifice too much to afford the fucking thing.
>>161331790
>However, in the present Kino does not seem to identify as female or male
First off, fuck that wiki page. It included information from a fucking fanfic for years. Second, the people who edit that wiki don't even read the fucking LN. Kino knows she's a girl but prefers using "boku" because she likes how it sounds with the name and it's less of a hassle for her if she avoids falling in love, so if people mistake her for a boy it's less of a problem for her.
>>161331967
It's only political if you get angry about it.
>>161332046
>It included information from a fucking fanfic for years
What was it?
>>161331817
>>161331847
>>161331967
The old wiki page called a girl who referred to herself with male pronouns. The old page also used "her" while the new page is completely neutral and uses "they." That's not even grammatically correct.
>>161332128
Kino apparently falling in love with a boy named Kuro who also happened to have a talking motorcycle after being treating his wounds during his stay in Master's home.
>>161332166
It's a inofficial fan-made wiki page just ignore it. It doesn't matter anyway.
>>161332212
That does sound like a fanfiction.
>>161332092
I would say it's pretty political because the person who wrote this is making an assumption. It would be like going into Homura's wiki page and writing "she seems to be a lesbian".
>>161332166
Using they/them as a pronoun for someone you don't know the gender of is grammatically correct. That special snowflakes hijacked it does not mean it's now wrong.
>>161332344
Traditionally speaking "she/he" would be the correct term for unknown gender instead of "they." But that was back when male and female were the only genders, not polyfluidotherkin.
>>161332449
Consider a scenario where you don't know a person and are a 100% unsure of this person's gender. It is correct to refer to this person as "them", as well as "he". "She" is exclusive for females.
>>161332583
Usually people just use and assume one gender or the other until that person corrects them.
As far as the Bakatsuki translations go, people usually seem to be able to identify Kino's gender pretty easily so they usually call her 'miss traveler' and the like.
Take the below text for example:
>The woman ignored her husband and handed a tiny paper bag to Kino.
>“Here. A souvenir from this country. Open it.”
>Kino looked inside. Carved on a tiny iron plate was a pair of water birds that resembled wild ducks nestled close together. She showed it to Hermes.
>“It’s a charm. I thought a big one would be a bother to take with you.”
>“Thank you very much. What kind of charm is this?” Kino asked, and the woman answered with a smile.
>“It’s for a happy marriage. These are called ‘Mandarins’. It is said that these birds live their whole life with the same partner. A long time ago, married couples with good relationships were called ‘Mandarin couples’. Someday, somewhere, I wish that you would find a wonderful partner, miss traveler.”
>“……. Thank you… very much.”
>With an indescribable expression on her face, Kino thanked the woman. And then, she pushed Hermes into the gates. She looked back once and saw the woman striking the man several times.
>>161332344
It may be wrong, but I wouldn't really say it's political. It's just some faggot making assumptions. They choose to see Kino as genderless, I think she's just a girl who looks like a boy and doesn't care to correct people when they mistake her for one. It is kinda subjective and unclear so putting it on wikipedia is probably a bad idea, but what can you do.
And Homu is gay as hell, for the record.
>>161332718
>miss traveler
So pretty much 旅人さん? さん is genderless, "miss" is localization. This is why you read stuff in Japanese.
I can't wait for the anime to come out so I can have my first experience with stupid sexy Kino.
Why didn't Kino get a real motorcycle?
>>161326676
I thought the same and didn't realize until the origin episode that those guys in ep 2 were trying to rape her. I thought they were just gonna mug him or something. Real obvious in hindsight.
>>161332898
Is it bad that this pic isn't lewd to me? I just want to help her get up and pull up her pants. Falling down on the mud is pretty bad,
>>161332966
Yes, you weirdo.
>>161332935
>Kino replaces Hermes with a Harley Davidson
>it always speaks in a really loud, angry yelling voice and can never fucking whisper
>>161332898
Kino's butt is small and firm, not round and sexy.
>>161332963
Shit I thought they were trying to capture her to sell her off when they get back to their country. Virgins go for a higher price, I don't care what slaver you talk to.
>>161332935
>harley
She's not a bulldyke (yet). Maybe wait until she hits 40 and gains 90 pounds.
>>161333039
>40-year old Kino
I need to see what an expired christmas cake Kino would look like. I doubt she's willing to regrow her hair unless she gets knocked up.
>>161333038
Rewatched the scene and you're right, my memory must have played tricks on me when I thought back on it later. They outright say their slave traders.
>>161333217
they're* fuck I hate messing that up.
>>161332583
That's not book-grammar. Using the combined "she/he" (as quoted, not one or the other) is the traditional correct use. "They" should be exclusively collective. As in: "But when he turned around, he/she was there."
>>161333612
It's awkward as fuck to use he/she though, so I'm with the SJWs on this one.
>>161333699
I was raised in a house full of editors so I'm a grammar Nazi when it comes to something published publicly like wikiniggers. I'm glad I'm not really autistic, so I've never been tempted to actually edit a wiki page.
>>161322377
>2008 Kino
lmao
>>161333754
You should. I began to edit Wikipedia and other related stuff a few years ago and now I get free trips to wherever they have their yearly convention. I was in Canada a week ago.
>>161333835
Any good looking women at those things?
>>161334086
I just saw a cute German girl this year. Most of the women aren't bad but aren't gorgeous either. Out of 80 or so women that attended I think only the 10% can be considered ugly because they have the SJW look on. Almost every woman is such a bitch though. Fuck them.
>>161333612
>"They" should be exclusively collective
It's been used by authors in the singular sense for hundreds of years. Just accept that it's a legitimate use.
>>161331003
This hurts me more than you realize. Hermes doesn't deserve to become a plastic CG piece of shit.
>>161334536
>makes claim
>doesn't give any kind of evidence
LOL
Gakuen Kino when?
I'll settle for some OVAs if I have to.
>>161335605
>violent, genki, energetic tomboy magical girl fighting aliens with a wide variety of firearms.
It'd probably work if the episodes were 12-15 minutes long, I think. She's really only Kino in name and appearance though (plus an ahoge).
>>161335718
Looks good to me
>>161325763
She's one.
>no scanlines
New Kino is automatically better.
>>161337440
worse*
Sorry autocorrect.
>>161338338
I assume you also think the first anime was infinitely better simply because Ryutaro Nakamura worked on it.
>>161322189
It's going to be hard for me to adapt to the new design, but as long as the story is as good as in the original anime it should be fine.
>>161325763
You rather her look as manly as snufkin?
>>161339713
2003 Kino was basically a female Snufkin as far as looks go. I want more Kino/Snufkin crossover images.
>>161322189
how often does Kino masturbate?
>>161343703
Almost everyday? You know, riding her motorrad on rough road for hours
>>161345402
what if hermes has a built in dildo vibrator?
>>161326250
Now that would be nice
someday
>>161323303
But that's a boy anon.
>>161326676
I remember watching the first episode thinking the guy that asked Kino to marry him was some kind of faggot. It took me until the flashback episode before I realized that kino is girl.
>>161348618
Why does Kino look so sexy in these covers? (Especially this one)
>>161322189
That body is incredibly erotic.
>>161350673
Because she has proper trigger discipline
Can we have daily Kino thread?
>>161350889
No. People are already pushing the limits necrobumping this thread.
>>161350889
Wait until the next season starts. I hope by god by then someone gets to translating again. I hope that the show animates the Land of Heroes story and the one where Kino protects a woman and her baby. Both are pretty great, I think.
>>161343703
Wanna say three times a day. Once in the morning as part of her light exercises, in the middle of the afternoon whenever she naps, and then one more go before going to bed.
>>161325955
>>161326024
>>161332328

Live action with Maisie Williams as Kino when?
>>161351413
>Live action
>Maisie Williams
>>161323303
[x] Genuflect
>>161351452
Come on, man. Her face looks like 2003 Kino. We'll eventually get a live action out of this show, it's better we choose the actress before they pick some random bitch.
>>161351559
why not go with someone who can act, instead of someone who is just ugly
>>161351559
>We'll eventually get a live action out of this show,
I'd rather Kino be in an H-OVA where she gets raped by Shizu and Ti while Riku hangs out with Hermes by the campfire than this series get a live action adaption.
>>161351576
Ok so, we need an actress that meets this criteria:
- Can act
- Has a potato face
- Looks young
---
I don't watch a lot of tv/movies, so I could only come up with Maisie Williams.
>>161351559
She'd need to lose like half her weight though.
>>161351686
Sure, but Kino wears heavy clothing most of the time so it's not like we'll see much of her body.
>kino
Fuck off /tv/.
I really hope they adapt A Land Without Borders.
>>161351725
Kino looks like a stick even with her clothes on anon. Kino being so thin and small makes the mental image of your larger, more masculine, strong frame on top of her as your arms wrap around her lithe body and you mating press her until every last egg in her ovaries get gangraped and fertilized by your lustful, aggressive sperm so much hotter.
>>161351836
do not sexualize the Kino
>>161351836
KINOMODS!!!
>>161351836
wew
So we expecting more updates for this soon or what?
>>161352036
Succ soon, anon.
>>161351576
How bout yur mum? She's ugly and acts like she actually loves you when in fact she hates you for the failure you've become.
>>161352232
Did he just insult your waifu, /tv/-kun?
>>161351794
Is it the one with drugs?
>>161352492
It's the one where Kino nearly gets forcibly wed and drugged by nomads, yeah.
Man, Kino's met a lot of nice men who'd make great husbands on her journey.
Is there a single good country in the LNs?
besides the volcano one of course
>>161351413
>Maisie Williams
Fuck of dude we have hot Kino now. We don't need a potato Kino anymore.
>>161350889
If they're going to have as much lewding of Kino as this thread does, than I hope not.
>>161354011
Land of the NAP (AKA the Land where murder is permitted), the Moving Country (the one that's powered by nuclear power and is basically a massive mobile superfortress-turned-country), the cooking country, the land of books, etc.
There was a place where Kino stayed for a month (to wait out the winter). They gave her lodging, food, etc. and all she had to do was euthanize people and they'd "exile" her to the border.
>>161332344
no its not, using he/she is
>>161330034
I remember one anon doing some really rough math a while ago and coming to the conclusion she's been travelling for at least five years.
>>161331967
>"does not seem to identify as female or male"
is a completely nonsensical statement
>>161357433
So the youngest she is now is 20, right?
Man, christmas cake Kino soon.
>tfw no Kino and the land of Manly Men with 10 inch penises
>>161358112
There's this. There's no end to the types of horribly lewd, depraved and sexually-focused countries Kino may have been in but we haven't heard about.
>>161355489
>the land of books
Is there another land of books in the novels? I am a horrible secondary and the one from the anime didn't seem like a nice place
>>161359442
The land of books in the novels is way different than the anime. In the LN, it's an actual country with a shit-ton of books, so Kino checks out a couple books at the library, spends the rest of the day and well into the night reading, then spends the next day talking about the books she chose with a librarian. The last day she's there she sees a guy off from that country who wants to become an author (because though you can read books, you can't write them in the country). The guy's plan is to use skis to get through the desert and Kino wishes him the best of luck and tells Hermes she thinks he's going to die because she's like that and doesn't really interfere with other people's lives. Kino is not actually living in a virtual reality and she's not in a coma.
She did meet a talking tank in another story though.
>>161359442
The one from the anime is almost anime original. Read the LN
>>161359629
>>161359568
Thanks, that one along with A Peaceful Land were the only episodes I disliked.
>>161360153
The blacksmith that Kino met in A Peaceful Land was actually her master's fuckbuddy/driver/platonic traveling companion.
>>161360200
>A Peaceful Land
I thought he was in Volcanoville?
>>161360532
Wasn't A Peaceful Land Volcanoville?
>>161360563
A Peaceful Land
A Kind Land
I think you got them mixed up
>>161360563
Peaceful Land is where the two large groups are "at peace" because they constantly rape/pillage a third, less powerful group.
When Kino leaves, the third group tries to ambush her in turn.
I'm slightly sad and angry because of Untuned Strings retranslating already translated volumes

On the bright side, his schedule is so consistent that he should catch up in a year or two.
>>161333144
>expired christmas cake Kino
Wow, you MUST be a permavirgin if you think other people are stupid enough to go without fucking their entire lives.
>>161361703
Expired christmas cake meaning she's still single at 40, not that she hasn't fucked by the age of 40.
>>161361772
Christmas cakes expire the 25 though. Nips have another term for women over 31 who are yet not married, they are called toshikoshisoba.
>>161361703
>Implying Kino would let her guard down with anyone long enough to fuck.
>Implying Kino would risk pregnancy, STD, or emotional attachment.
Motorcycles vibrate, anon.
>>161323303
I steal one of her stack of ice cream to get her attention.
>>161327610
Good balance and arm strength honed by her years of excellent marksmanship.
>>161362679
I dunno, Kino probably would've rode that one doctor HARD after he said her cooking was delicious had they gotten to live together for more than a day.
Please do not lewd Kino
>>161360200
I feel a bit sad knowing that they never stayed together in the end.
He, at the very least, seems to enjoy being with her.
>>161363120
Master would give any man with the balls to try taming her terror-boners. She's scary, man. Nice in some regards, but scary in others.
I don't think I'd be able to accept a Kino without scanlines.
Huh, this is that series with the talking motorcycle? Been on my backlog for a long time -- you guys are making this seem interesting.
>>161363616
Motorcycles can't talk, only dogs.
>>161363616
King of the Bandits Jing? Yeah. It's a neat little shounen series.
so how did kino become a term for kino films
>>161363724
The "kino" meme and the Kino character both come from the German word for cinema.
>>161363724
kino means film in finnish or something like that
/tv/ simply meme'd the word up
>>161363772
Yesh, and there is also a character named Photo in the LN
