Yep it's awesome. For best enjoyment I wouldn't recommend a marathoning of it though

Still looking for a torrent of the english dubbed OVAs

>>35993073
Yeah, I wish I didn't had marathoned it either. But it was just so fucking great, I couldn't restrain myself.

>>35993088
Why would you watch with the english dub? Duty > Freedom, y'all potheads.

>>35993088
for some reason those OVAs are tagged as movies.
but they are best part of the Kino no Tabi story

I watch 2 episode per week usually.

Am I the only one who wants a remake? The animation is terrible.

I would make Kino mai waifu, but she's just too good to fall under this kind of category.

>>35993112

preferred the dub.

Jap voices irritate me.

>>35993160

The animation was supposed to be grainy.

Artistic thing I gathered

>>35993113

Because they were part of a two part (old school, two different films, one ticket) theatrical release.

I have a long afternoon ahead, worth plugging it with this then?

>>35993341

You would be correct, sir.

>>35993364

Very yes.

>>35993364
Yes. Very, very yes.

>>35993341
Even if it was grainy, some parts were really poorly animated. It's a show that deserves a better treatment, at least with a better character design.

>>35993160
The animation really was terrible. Kino looked fine, but the side characters were horrible. However, the show was good enough that it didn't really bother me.

>>35993523
Oh, most definitely. However, it was produced between 00-02, a time where the quality of the animation in general was very, very bad. I wish they had a studio like MADHOUSE to remake it, so the visual part could make justice to the wonderful story.

Kino no Tabi is probably too deep for a 12 year old to really enjoy.

>>35993748
I don't really think it's deep. If you think about it, the plots are really simple and played straight, but what really captivates it's their beauty. It's just fantastic how touching the stories are, even if they are just about the human condition. "The world is not beautiful - therefore it is" is probably one of the best quotes I got from an anime before.

Don't you wish you could be a traveller who just wanders the world on a motorbike with nary a care in the world.

>>35993853
I'm still considering getting a bike and at least going over a nearby city. And then moving on to bigger distances.

But who am I kidding, I'll never do that.

I'd forget about a remake and hope the rest of the light novels are adapted into episodes, but I doubt that would happen because Japan doesn't like good anime.

>>35993921
Yeah, that would be better. But hey, if you think Japan doesn't likes Kino, think again:

>As of December 10, 2009, thirteen volumes have been published, and over 5.6 million copies of the novels have been sold in Japan.[1]

I mean, that's not OMGWTFBBQ high, but if you ask me, there's still hope.

>>35993897

Its a shame the modern world refuses to allow people to just become drifters.

>>35993897

Go for it, just take a rider's education class (or classes) first and purchase protective gear. I've never taken a serious fall, but I do know several who have. You have no idea how important that helmet is until you've seen one after it protected somebody's head hitting the pavement at 70 mph.

>>35993980
Well, it's not like someone's going to arrest you or something, but you still gotta earn your bread somehow.

>>35994013
I would man, I really would. But I'm a shut-in, and it's been so long since I went outside that I wouldn't even survive the first 10km. It's just that when I finished KnT, I decided to open my windows to let the sun in for a while, and the first fucking thing I see is a flock of birds. One day, maybe.

>>35993980

Don't kid yourself. No civilization has liked drifters. There is plenty of advice if you decide to go nomadic online, however.

>>35993853
You'll never be a traveler who visits countries based around a single theme to teach you a lesson in life. sadfrog.jpg

>>35993921
Kino can be made to fit Japan's preferred model. Picture related. But more seriously, have the novels been translated and are they worth reading? I'd like some more Kino.

>>35994091

Actually as soon as you try to cross national borders you could easily end up arrested.

Not that hard to end up being arrested for drifting inside some nations too

I've downloaded this and am yet to watch it so after hearing this I can't wait.

>>35994108

No but in ye olden days Drifters could survive as travelling merchants and such

>>35994124
>>35994143
Hmm, good point.

>>35994091

Since you have the time, and are interested, read up on the theory and basic maintenance. Do physical conditioning in your home. Prepare now, so that when you are ready you can go. And if you decide latter not to? You're in shape and an expanded collection of knowledge.

>>35994219

It's terrible really.

If the zone was a real place I'd have probably headed there by now.

I'm such a social dropout.

>>35994232
That would be nice, but I also would need money and shit. Being a NEET I can't really afford a bike.

>>35994274
Aw man, tell me about it. Sometimes I just open STALKER and keep wandering for hours, just doing random side quests and retrieving artifacts. When I realize it's been already 4 hours of playing non-stop.

>>35994124
If you want a big space to actually travel between settlements, go to Russia. However, it's really hardcore. Bad roads, angry people, nowhere to earn money.

I've considered living a life where I visit many different places and try settling there, all while having a job and basically fitting in with everyone else before moving on sometime later.

I don't know how realistic this is though, or what kind of employment I'd get.

why favorite episodes are episode 2 and the last one ;_;

thought-provoking, at the very least

will we ever get a new season?

>>35994450
Ｔhat, only the time will answer.

I like the episode with the three starving men trapped in snow, and the railroad one.

>>35994509
I was just destroyed by the episode of the town build under the volcano. Shit was really, really melancholic.

>>35994369

Not very.

In developed nations employers either demand you become their property for an extended period of time or have a shitload of legal paperwork which as a drifter you will not possess.

Tower episode is the best

>>35994593

I don't exactly plan on becoming a drifter, so much as living in a few different countries or locations throughout my life.

>>35994552
I cant believe I forgot about that episode.

>>35994644

Have you considered teaching? Get certified for math or science (or both) and you should be gold in the English speaking world (assuming that you're not proficient in another language(s)).

>>35994751

In the non-English speaking world just become certified as a "English as a second language" teacher and it won't matter whether or not you know the local language

It is good to see a kino no tabi thread.....it's great how there is no misunderstandings and trolling on these. I wish i could say the same of the other shows.

>>35995408

its not part of the moeboom

>>35995426

>>35995449

The cancer that is killing the anime industry

Anime needs more of this.

>>35994450

I want a second season, or a real movie (45+ mins)

BTW, someone knows when i can download or read light novel?

>>35995549
or keeping it alive. by that i mean that most moefags end up becoming buyfags with memorabilia ect. that make the industry appear profitable. while great shows like kino no tabi have people who just like the show for philosophical reasons that you just can (not) put a price on. As long as great shows like these are being produced i hardly care what other people prefer.

>>35993341
Grainy and terrible are completely different things. Kino no Tabi is, visually, inferior to Pokemon. Such excellent writing deserves better.

Fuck you guys, I love KnT with a burning passion, and I'm currently waiting for K-ON!! to air.

>>35995792
sadfrog.png

>>35995807
And?

>>35995807

>KnT

I was wondering why you mentioned Kimi ni Todoke in a Kino thread.

>>35996008

KnT = Kino no Tabi

>>35995880
Some guy mentioned something about it not being moe enough, and I felt like pointing this out.

>>35996070

Yes then I realised it. I have never seen anyone on /a/ using KnT to refer to Kino no Tabi.

>>35996436
Fucking awesome.

i'd pay to see some kino and alpha fanart where they run into each other while alpha is in her traveling phase

more reverse trap plz.

>>35996721
No. I refuse to treat Kino on the same way I treat other female characters.

Great series, I only watched it when my friend recomended it over and over but I'm glad I watched it. I marathonned this series in one sitting myself.

>>35996605
>>35996605
gdamn seconded that.

>>35996754

But you can pretend she's not female.

showed the first ep to my little sister the other day
was worried it would be too slow for a 9 year old but she really enjoyed it
i might skip the second one though.

Someone has to do some Kino's Journey/STALKER art now. You realize this.

>>35996605

DRAWFAG!!!

>>35997031

Kino in a sunrise suit with a more rusted looking Hermes?

Also she seems the sort who would use a Dragonuv rather than the Vintorez so many stalkers love

>>35997031
Whatever happened to the "No girls in the Zone" rule?

>>35997208

Its about fucking time someone broke it.

>>35997254
>Its about fucking time someone broke it.
>Kino's hymen
Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Brain?

>>35997311

About how delicious tinned meat is?

>>35997208
Some STALKERs reported women entering the Zone. Their fate after that is unknown, though. However Kino has an excellent shooting skill, and mutants would be no problem for her.

>>35997311
Hey, fuck you man.

>>35997447

She'd be more than welcome in Freedom

>>35998571
Fuck you hippies, she's a Stalker and nothing less.

>>35998619

True she'd be a loner.

Good thing Freedom are generally friendly to loners huh?

Unlike some certain duty faggots I could think of

>>35998646
Don't mistake Duty with the military, I've actually saved a few loners from controllers and bloodsuckers, whilst I've seen an asshole from Freedom opening fire on a Stalker trying to cross the road to the Red Forest.

>>35998734

Pfft liar. He was probably a bandit.

Duty are faggots and you know it.

>>35999486
I swear by the noonsphere, the boys at the barrage turned the guy into swedish cheese just as he was making it to the exit.

I used to be a murdering scum like them. Until one day I joined Duty and then I became a proper human being.

>>35999603

barrage?

garbage? Barricade/barrier?

If he was in the barrier then it was probably a monolith fighter or zombie

>>35999785
Oh sorry, I mean to write barricade. You know, the one separating the Warehouses from the Red Forest. He was going to the Red Forest, so I doubt he was a Monolith.

>>35993323

You think Jap voices are more annoying than the completely talentless piece of shit voice actors the US hires to dub? GTFO of /a/ you faggot, seriously.

fuck yes kino thread
