Kino's Journey was a remarkable journey for my experience.

This will be a quick summary of my view on this series! This season was a remake of the already great anime that aired around December 21, 2000. With a sharpshooter by the name of Kino traveling from country to country with a simple outlook focused on traveling, amazing animation, and a neat storyline from the original airing in 2000, this remake was one of the most relaxing rides ive ventured in the 2017 Fall Season. This show shows some great remarks, that despite being aware of the dangers in traveling, Kino fully embraces and accepts those dangers. As one of her quotes says, "The world is not beautiful: And that, in a way, lends it a sort of beauty."
she's acknowledging the flaws in the world. As she explores countries, the good and the bad are both shown to us, as to which we are left to perceive it in whichever way we want, right besides Kino's condescending view upon the world. Though to be quite honest, there was only one slight "flaw" you could say that there was with this remake. This anime tried to have Kino appear somewhat violent-centric, as in she would decide to use violence right off the bat, in comparison to as a last resort. As much as I loved Kino showing us the badass she is, it sort of warped the audience's view on her with the frequent amount of times Kino would take out her weapon as the solution straight away. In the original anime, she is mostly neutral and passive when it comes to confrontation, and isn't ever looking for trouble (ok that might be a stretch, but its certainly much less haha). The first couple of episodes tried to represent Kino someone who would always be fighting upon her travels, as if that was a part of her "journey" in mind, which is really not the case. Though in contrast, the rest of the series did a really great job at showing us the sentimental parts, had great light and contrast for scenes that really set the theme, and did really great in transitioning from flashbacks to current occurrences.

All i have left to say is, this show was an amazing journey, and that is all there is to it.
