- 2003. Some stuff blew up, some wars were fought, André 3000 taught us what was cooler than being cool, social networks and Mongolian basket weaving forums hit the scene, and somewhere during all of that…Kino went on a journey.

tbh I was kind of planning to go on a semi-permanent hiatus after the last video, but I got bored while trying to become employed so I made this one for fun.
Amazing videos man, wish you the best for whatever you are planning to do.
Aw dude I don’t want you to go away, I always get excited when I see a new video from you, but I hope you find a good balance of things for the time being, also your video on Forrest Whaley is a certified hood classic (I grew up watching him too)
gonna be selfish and say that sucks because I enjoy the videos you put out a lot, but of course you gotta do what's best for you. I'll be here waiting for your next video whenever that may be. good luck out there.
your videos are some of the best on the platform lately, would be a shame to see you stop ;(
You’re the only channel I have notifications for…
Girls' Last Tour's 2017 anime aired on the same season, same day as Kino's Journey's 2017 adaptation. So in a way, we did get a true spiritual adaptation to Kino 2003.
Also nice video!
Forever will i hold Girls Last Tour to my heart as a goated anime
Oh someone put it in words, I remember watching Kino (2003) back in the days, one episode a day after work and always falling asleep right after. Such a dreamy feeling.
For me Kino is like just human experience. Sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's funny. A tragedy and comedy of nothingness where people just want to survive-- and some people got lucked out to be born in better places ("country") compared to others. I started my long distance motor biking as an adult because of her and she is right, you have to be distant to keep youself safe out there.
Kino is so cool, shes like if Snufkin from Moomins had a gun
never stop with the Apocalypse Now references
I enjoy anime like Kino that really just take their time and let you sink into them almost like a warm blanket. Aria has always had the same effect on me as well, no matter how many times I rewatch it. Great video as always man, thanks for making it.
Kino's Journey is criminally underrarted.
This show will leave you hollow in the best of ways. I can not recommend it enough.
Yet another banger from our boy Pico. Keep it up, I would cry if this channel disappeared.
damn this some Kino shit
Always a good day when Pico uploads.
Kino's journey was a series I randomly stumbled upon as one of few Anime Series that were licensed and sold on DVD's in my nordic european part of world. It is one series I love that I found and made me rather centrist person from very young age who will immediately say that direct voting is not such a blessed solution to problems someone who simply believes so would believe.
The CG sheepocaust redeemed the 2017 anime tbh
But seriously though as much as I recognize how superior the 2003 anime is, it is undeniably funny and strange how Kino stands out so much from being the only blobhead in the whole anime, not even the other child characters got blobhead. Ignoring the lesser visual (plagued with mid to late-2010s oversaturated colors), 2017 Kino is still really neat, it just got the pacing of the old extra Kino OVAs and movies so it's not as slow as the 2003 anime.
Also fun fact: one of Yuuki Aoi's earliest role (practically real debut role) is Sakura in the 2003 Kino anime, it's quite poetic that she then voices Kino in the 2017 anime.
When someone tells me that kino no tabi is underrated, I tell them about Gakuen Kino. /j
The dub for the 2003 version of Kino's Journey is brilliant. You even have some big voice actors in there in episodes such as the colosseum story with the king being voiced by the same person who voiced Edward Elric.
I love Kinos Journey 2003 so much. I didnt enjoy the 2017 version which I watched directly after the original but im happy that it existed to put Kinos Journey on my radar as I vaugely remember seeing it and thinking "Wow that looks epic" back in 2017 then I watched 2003 like 2 years ago.
Excellent job as always, i adore your videos, please keep at them i believe you have got real talent. Kino is one of my all time favorites, however i rarely ear people talking about it. I hope you video help to expose more people to such a great show.
By the way, you may enjoy "Shojo Shumatsu Ryoko", its another gem!
Greetings from Peru.
I'm 100% sure he already knows Girl's Last Tour but maybe other people don't, so good on you anyway.
Holy shit you're Mexican?
I'd say if you like the anime, read the original light novels. They have so much more adventures and detail. The only sad thing is that the translator group kinda got lazy after the halfway point but you can still read most of it on baka-tsuki, even if most aren't arranged into pdfs.
thanks for your anime recommendations pico, all your videos are always a great watch.
This is indeed my kino
Kino’s Journey is the best anime recommendation my cousin has ever given me
I was bitten by the wanderlust bug a long time ago and I can confirm it perfectly encapsulates the dreamy, semi-detached experience of being “somewhere else”
As a visitor to a new country you are often confronted with ways of life that may be better or worse than your own experience, and the best you can do is consider it thoughtfully and keep your appraisals to yourself (and keep your wits about you). The inability to settle on a moral position is a common and valuable experience.
Kino’s Journey (2003) has perfect vibes, melancholy yet earnest.
Another recommendation that I can put into the plan to watch list after Kamichu. Wonderful video as always! :)
I am convinced you have stolen my ‘animes that have changed my life and want to see a video essay on’ list - please give it back :(
Never seen such an accurate representation of what 2017 Kino did to my soul. Hope you finally catch that wanderlust bug someday, it’s a pretty nice disease to have
I really hope you keep making videos. You have a special brand of humor that I rarely find on even the basket weaving site anymore, and the way you present stuff always keeps me interested. 😊
Kino's Journey is one of the greatest anime out there, it has been my favorite anime for the longest time.
wtf i already had this on my anilist to-watch list, hell i didnt even read the description, i saw a soft-colored 2000s anime and knew id probably like it, thanks for your videos dude, always bringing good stuff to the table
dare I say KINO?
Thank you for the delicious video Pico! Great as usual
Having watched both the 2003 and 3DCG one, as well as read the available translated Light Novels, I must say that Kino is in fact, kino.
Probably up there as one of my favourite series out there, and the 2003 series was among the first anime I ever watched thanks to the suggestion of a friend who told me, "hey, you like motorcycles and guns, you might like this", and by God was the man right.
I've thieved a lot of ideas from the novels, as they really are a wealth of shockingly good little stories, locations, and experiences that can fit really damn well for TTRPGs. At some point I'd love to run a campaign just based around the world itself, because luckily nobody I know IRL would ever have a clue where its coming from :^)
Good review mate, your presentation and humour is great. I know you said you're going to do a semi-permanent hiatus, but I hope you'll do more stuff like this in the future.
Another excellent video. I tried out Kino back in the day, and it wasn’t quite my cup of tea-which is odd, because it shares a lot of similarity with Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro, which is the only manga I own in its entirety, because I like it so much. Guess there’s no accounting for taste. Especially mine.
I think Kino chooses 3 days because that's how long the original Kino was to stay in the land of the adults, and also why the new Kino did not remember who said the quote about the birds; because they had taken over the role of the traveler Kino so the old "Kino" doesn't exist, since she is Kino now. I watched this show while high btw and it was marvelous.
I feel like a identity crisis i guess
Or kino literally delutional identity
iirc It was her Master that told her that 3 days was enough to enjoy the entirety of what a country could offer.
5:24 I am so happy someone made this edit, thank you 😂
I love your videos
It's so cozy when I find videos of an underspoken series and they are also good!
I could say your videos are... Kino
Also I really appreciate the Girl's Last Tour propaganda in these comments!
Gotta show some love to one of my favorite anime/manga ever :)
I didnt do that research to see the connection between the director. But it makes sense now that Kino is my fav and Lain is my second fav. Thank you for that sir. Great vid btw
Edit: Now I know where to look for the next anime to watch, hopefully that director didnt stop at 2.
This is infact Kino and they are on a journey, a long journey. At least what I think is long anyways
best thing Kino 2017 did, was introducing to the franchise (i guess) a lot of people, with me among them. If not the new adaptation i would probably never watch it, and its one of my favorite anime of all time
Can't believe I missed this upload, you are the last of a dying breed.
Am I really going to watch the 2017 series just for the context of the sheep massacre? Maybe...
there was no context she is scared of sheep
Yep I think it's over guys, farewell spicywarlord you made some baller ass videos
Not true. I'm just the slowest editor west of the prime meridian.
shoulder-a-coffin kuro is a copy of this series but with the added plot-point that the main character is dying
YOOOO. SOMEONE ELSE WHO LIKES KURO
Hey I just recently started watching this and it is really good so far. thank you for the recommendation.
Love your vids. ❤ Keep it up!
Another awesome vid, tho ngl the TGT panel at 8:04 caught me off guard.
Fittingly kino vid
New pico upload, let's fucking go!!!
Definetly gonna watch this cheers boss🎉🎉🎉
Dang I hope one day you can do a pani poni dash video
That one scrolling image of Spice and Wolf says so much. It's gonna be the same damn thing.
I love this type of video.
Кино? Действительно хорошая музыкальная группа!
I know, i like Spokoynaya Noch.
I feel like pico is peak anime fan •can enjoy both ends of the spectrum (extremely silly shows like azumanga daioh) but can also appreciate and adore more real-like and thought provoking shows while having a great sense of humor and being himself.
This video is kino.
oh yeah, Kino.. good times
I disagree on the ripping apart 2017 that cruelly. 2003 is my favorite, but I think 2017 has its purpose. It was made for a different time and audience, and fans who discovered the series before the anime was even announced were not really the target - we're already on this wild ride after all. I believe this is why 2017 retreads stories 2003 already covered, and also gives the spotlight to other major characters (because by 2017, the light novels had four major parties that stories centered on as opposed to only one, so introducing them all to potential new fans makes sense). The stories it chooses to pick are pretty great stories in their own right - even the sheep one is completely on brand for showing the goofy shit the LNs pull on you sometimes.
I personally feel that Kino's eyes shifting color to match the scene is both in reference to her artist (who has been drawing her for over 20 years) nowadays plays with her eye color in the same way, and a symbol of her wishing to be an inconspicuous part of the scenery (and if we hit the armchair psychology bong hard, a metaphor for her complicated sense of identity).
My personal critiques of 2017 are in agreement with the rushed pacing. Colosseum isn't worth telling without all the side characters adding context, and showing human motives behind their actions. From the failed assassin who is trying to find a secure footing, a man who seeks to prove his strength and be felled in honorable battle, and a woman who basically only wants to introduce Mother's Day. These strange motivations have a human quality to them, even if the characters are flawed in one way or another.
My harshest criticism of 2017 though is of Ship Country, for not only taking a story that's unironically the length of a novel and butchering it to fit a 20 minute episode, but also COMPLETELY changing the climax. In the LNs Ti has an emotional breakdown and actually screams and lashes out at Shizu. But in 2017's adaptation she is completely detached and cold. This imo ruins her introduction, because that breakdown in the LNs shows Ti at a moment where her defense mechanisms have failed, which then make readers 100% certain going forward that there's a lot going on in Ti's mind even if she's not usually outwardly expressive - something that Shizu even assesses in a later story.
The LNs show us an emotionally neglected and heavily traumatized child, and then gives him the adult responsibility of raising a kid suffering in a way only he understands (see what I did there?). The 2017 adaptation gives us a quirky, goofy swordsman that fission mails adopting a kuudere trope who later obtains a personality. They changed nothing of Ti's character portrayal in later episodes, but without that moment where she expresses sheer terror and despair, it makes convincing people of the depth of Ti's character an uphill battle. And I have in fact seen people write off Ti's character because of that change in the anime.
All that aside, the 2017 anime is still good entertainment. Nobody unfamiliar with the series is gonna be mad about the production team's decisions, and will instead appreciate how it gives a pretty good overview of what the series is about. I can relate to the lamentation that we won't get another 2003 adaption and 2005 OVA. To be honest though, shows like these set bars that would take miracles to even touch, so I'm content that I even got more animated Kino in the first place, and that it was good overall.
The 2017 adaptation was essentially just fanservice for longtime LN readers of the series. It wasn't that good of an adaptation. But it was fun. Personally quite enjoyed it.
I LOVE KINO SO FUCKING MUCH ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Oh, I thought you made nothing after NonNonByori... Welp, it's good to be wrong, great job.
I guess there was no way to include ending song due to youtube idiocy.
Good video.
I remember being really upset about episode 12 ,The two warring states in competition one. Because it felt so contrived. I still kinda feel that way, But I enjoyed both series.
I hope you get a chance to review The Witch from Mercury
This is a good analysis but I have to say. I don’t think the new version of kino’s jounery is as bad as you say. I prefer the original but I enjoy the certain episodes of the new version Enough that I’m glad I watch it. Also while the original version of the Colosseum was much better, I have heard that the new version actually follows the light novel a lot closer.
I must put chatgpt in my motorcycle
Kino is a fucking masterpiece, love it to bits.
Btw, his video is as if douchebag chocolat never left us, loved it (His streams are great btw, but his channel was something else)
I watched the new version of this up till about episode 6 and then dropped it because it was frankly boring. I almost NEVER drop an anime I have gotten 3+ episodes into. Good to know that there was an original that was better I will have to check it out!
when nichijou video?
genshiken when saar??
I don't know if you will be making any new videos seeing your comment, but if I could recommend you something it wold be the manga Shimeji Simulation. Reading the author's previous work Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou (or Girls' Last Tour, glt for short) is not necessary but there are some callbacks for it in Shimeji Simulation, though you may have already seen (glt that is) it as you used some clips of the anime in this and previous videos. The reason I suggest shimeji is that there are more youtube reviews of glt than shimeji.
14:07 is that just a fan fiction or that is a part of the novel????
Well, whatever it is. I fucking "what" on it.
someone try to find it lmao
@@kinorad13is it the part of the novel or not dude? im serious
@@Mr_Schizowht do u mean?
@@zhukov2967 the image is fanart the text is all written by some guy
short answer no
Where the frickle frack is Viktor Tsoi this title is a lie >:(((((((
Viktor Tsoi is in Cowboy Bebop, which is technically the sequel of Kino no Tabi.
gg ez
actually we have real life counterpart of Kino
His name is Che Guevara
Do you have a discord group?

ok me convensite
do you have a wife yet?
Do you know Transgender people trying to label Kino as a Trans Despite the fact the Author state Kino's a girl and her origin story confirms she's a girl? I'm not joking, there are people out there trying to argue that Kino's a Tran despite Kino's always been a female since the beginning.
Just look it up if anyone is curious. It's stupid, basically those same people who trying to label Trap characters like Astolfo as Trans. Really Wonderful World we're living in.
I think a lot of people are not comfortable looking at a girl being boyish / a boy being girly nor they understand why Kino dress like that (practicality and safety as a female bike traveler, something I also do frequently). It's a funny in a way, I thought we are already pass the point that girls have to wear skirts and be girly? Kino is an amazing female character and its sad that she is reduced to being trans/nb.
I hate it when Tomboys and Femboys were considered as Trans, yes they are basically queer but that is just stupid.
"she" Kino is explicitly non-binary.
Kino's sex was kept ambiguous in the 2003 anime until the fourth episode so her backstory would pack more of a surprise to viewers, whereas the light novels establish her as a young, androgynous looking girl early on. In chapters set further into the future, it's established that over time Kino matures and is frequently less mistaken for a boy and instead recognized as a beautiful young woman, which is yet another instance of her growing into her own identity instead of trying to fit into the role of the original Kino whose death she continues to carry guilt over. Claim whatever you want, but I'm gonna treat Keiichi Sigsawa's word as final.
@@PicotheSpicyWarlord No, the LN introduces them agender, reveals they were born a girl, and then continues to not gender them past their backstory. Kino will go as far as to tell people not to gender them. Western adaptations, particularly English ones, have just really struggled with the whole genderless thing. Partially due to transphobia and partially due to the massive differences between the languages.
@@Jamsalt I imagine that there's less of an emphasis on Kino's status as a boy or girl due to the fact that the novels are more of an exploration of Kino's personality and principles which are written to not align with specific masculine or feminine characteristics. This is why when Kino is mistaken for a boy she addresses herself as "just Kino." The story is about who she is as an individual, not as a girl, boy, or some other umbrella term for gender.
@@PicotheSpicyWarlord You got that right but you fail to realize that this is exactly what an agender story is. I'm agender and I can tell you Kino's relationship with gender is extremely close to mine. It's probably the first character I've really felt represented by. We have so little representation and it honestly hurt when people will insist on denying the little we get. Especially when it's as explicit as can be within the story, complete with Kino changing their name and pushing back against other gendering them.
Like, the only way to be more explicit would be to have Kino be like "Hello I'm agender" but considering the difference in languages and the fact it's old and the concept wasn't very widespread (hell I didn't even know about the word agender when I first watched Kino), it's about as explicit as it can get.
You are delusional. Get help.
