Kino, are you lost?

TWO
WHOLE
FRAMES
OF
ANIMATION
PER
EPISODE
Was Kino created just to suffer?
>>139031293
Yes and we get the privilege to watch it happen.
>>139031293
We just don't know.
>>139031231
>>139031469>Can I stay one day longer?
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 metabut 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
>>139034155
>The character design is off putting
>>139034155
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
>Well, it came out in 2003, you can't expect that much.
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.
