"Before You Watch" is my UA-cam series where I talk about an anime spoiler free. That way, people who aren't sure about watching it or not can get an idea about what they're getting into beforehand.

The world is not beautifull, therefor it is.
I love shows that are willing to do interesting (sometimes risky) things with their animation or the storytelling, so I've really been enjoying the 2003 ver!
Cool! I'm glad you like it! :D
I've never heard of this show, but I really liked hearing you talk about it. I really like the way you explain things, as someone who isn't much of an anime person. Keep it up!
Thank you! That's so nice to hear. ;w;/
Look at this upload schedule. Sheeeeesh. As much as these anime help me relax, so do your videos. Thanks!
You're very welcome! I dunno how long I'll be able to keep up this schedule, but it's been fun so far! xD
I've been meaning to watch Kino' Journey for a long time and this convinced me to finally watch a classic! That, plus Laid-Back Camp makes a reference to it multiple times...
You have based taste, Kino's Journey 2003 is so good.
I truly agree! The art style of the first one was what made it so unique! When the second one was using a more "bright" artstyle, I was a little disappointed. The second series is also very good though
The old one really has more depth- their eyes, sceneries- than the 2017 version. Thank you for this video. I really miss Kino's Journey.
I'm so thankful for discovering your videos. Mushishi is my favorite anime, and Kino's journey always sounded interesting. I could never convince myself to actually watch it, but I think I'm gonna do it now. Beautiful video!
I'm happy to hear that! Mushi-shi's my favorite too!
You should watch mononoke if you haven’t already.
Kino is kino.
This was a great intro to the series. Watched it on Hidive, and the show is so good. Really loved Kino's approach to these countries cause it really lets the stories wash over you. My favorite story has to be the flying machine episode since it shows that Kino's not indifferent to people, she's willing to help if asked but doesn't like to get tied down.
Kino reminds me of my favourite writer Ernest Hemingway and his approach to life he liked to travel and always carried a typewriter and a rifle he even took his life when he realised he wouldn't be able to travel anymore
Woah, I never knew that about him!
I'm 20 now and I wish I heard of this when I was younger. I'm going on my first solo trip next month and am plan on living internationally as soon as next year. I feel like this will be a really nice watch before I do jump into it. Especially when you described the main character as someone who wants to travel and see crazy things but not intervene. That's exactly why I'm doing this, to see the world for how it is not how its presented
I liked hearing you talk about this anime. I was wondering what to watch after finishing Mushi-Shi.
probably got recommended this as I recently started rewatching the 2003 anime and I think this video is great! Loved the Hermes bits you did; and speaking of Hermes I actually prefer the 2003 English to the Japanese because they added a little filter to the voice since he's a machine and all haha.
Keep the great reviews up love the videos
I in joy both versions
I had a anime magazine back in 03-04 I think before full metal was airing on adult swim. Well the original anime episode came on a disc with the magazine
I really like your videos, I hope you keep makeing them!
Thank you! :)

I'm on an opposite position for which anime I recommend first for the typical anime watcher. I actually recommend 2017 over 2003 for viewers unfamilair with the series, but for the same reasons that you feel it is inferior to 2003.
It's got a contemporary feel, making it visually familiar to a lot of other anime that most people watch (though the character designs remain faithful to how they are depicted in the recent LNs). There is also the wide selection of stories involving multiple main characters, which achieves a very clear overview of the whole series and what the recurring characters are like. This would be most effective for catching new viewers, but not nearly as interesting for long time fans who already have favorite characters long established, or have already watched 2003 and would rather not see another adaptation of a story the older anime covered.
2003 on the other hand I'd recommend to people who are into niche or retro anime, or fans of similar shows like Mushishi. Heck, I'd even pitch it to Yurucamp fans (the existence of crossover fanart makes it less crazy than it sounds). However, there are not nearly as many niche anime watchers of fan as one might hope. Meanwhile your garden variety seasonal anime watcher might not be ready for the completely different pace and structure of 2003 Kino, or its bold style choices like the CRT scanlines, limited animation and music, and 'faded photograph' color palette. Those types might need to be warmed up to it first, hence why I recommend 2017 first.
For disclosure 2003, and the 2005 OVA, are my favorite pieces of animated Kino media, and are actually where I started with the series, but I consider myself an outlier.
great video about one of my fav anime !!
Thank you for the recommendation! Will give it a shot on the first one.
Love the content
:O Kino's Journey and Mushishi are 2 of my favourite anime of all Time :D . It's a shame only so little of it has been animated =/
Kino's Journey, not Mushishi. All of Mushishi has been animated. Though for that series the creator has been working on a series called Cats are Facing West, and I really hope that gets an anime.
So glad someone wrote this word down, had no clue what she was talking about
im glad i found this channel. i love yo voice btw
Thanks so much! :)
Great video. 😊👏
Enjoy your review. Fun style. Good points.
Have a good day.
Both of them is great!
I can't get over how cute you sound. You kinda sound like Gretchen Grundler from Recess.
Thank you! :D
Mushishi means a lot to me. It is has had a significant presence in my life and my work(I am a writer), and it is nice that you know some animes which are similar to that. I hope you put out a list of animes which are so.
Hey, I've been watching and thoroughly enjoying your videos for a while. At first, over a year ago when I saw your review of Shirokuma Cafe (I'm about 30 out of 50 episodes into this series and like a lot of aspects about it, but Panda DOES just annoy me too much frequently and I wish they switched between other characters more - I actually started watching and felt this way before I saw your review...I watch some shows slowly...) and then in the past few months since you've been creating more videos mostly of series I've seen in full already.
Slice of Life is also one of my favorite, most-watched genres (SoL mixed with mystery, drama, romance, etc. or just pure iyashikei; I like any combo with it). Kino no Tabi and Sora no Woto are my favorite series you've done, both in my Top 35 (yes, I have such a list...). Here are some other SoL series you may want to check out, whether you create an accompanying video review, or just watch them on your own time/for your own pleasure, or perhaps have already seen some:
- Haibane Renmei (2002)
- Usagi Drop (2011)
- Mahoutsukai no Yome (2017)
- Hanasaku Iroha (2011)
- Flying Witch (2016)
- Centaur no Nayami (2017)
- The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006)
- Yuru Camp (2018)
- Houkago Saikoro Club (2019)
- Fune wo Amu (2016)
- Gakkougurashi! (2015)
- Somali to Mori no Kamisama (2020)
- Housekishou Richard-shi no Nazo Kantei (2020)
- Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes (2018)
- Non Non Biyori (2013)
- Hyouka (2012)
- Houkago Teibou Nisshi (2020)
- Ikoku Meiro no Croisee the Animation (2011)
- Kokoro Toshokan (2001)
- Tenchi Souzou Design-bu (2021)
- Ascendance of a Bookworm (2019)
As I said, it'd be nice to have a video companion for any of these at any point, but even if you just end up watching and exploring any at your own pace for your own sake, it'd be nice to have helped a fellow SoL fan.
From the current season regarding good SoL, we also have Shadows House and Super Cub.
First of all, thank you for watching my videos! And second, wow, a lot of unfamiliar names! That's great!
On that list I've seen Usagi Drop, Flying Witch, TMoHS, Yuru Camp (my video on it got taken down unfortunately ), Gakkougurashi, Hyouka, and Ikoku Meiro no Croisee (which I love a LOT it has one of my fav anime OPs) and I'm a few episodes into Somali already.
A handful I was planning on watching already (like Tenchi Souzou Design-bu and Houkago Teibou Nisshi for example), but a lot of these are totally new to me! So thanks! :D I added a bunch of the anime you gave me on my list, I'll try one out when I'm in the mood for SoL. :D
@@rely_able Hanasaku Iroha is where I would start on that list if you haven't yet seen it. Sooooo good
@@monogreen Yeah, that's also a Top 35er for me. Amazing music, sense of atmosphere and one of the only anime which feels in many ways like a real life family dramedy. It has this sense of retroactive nostalgia for me where it makes me feel nostalgic both for the time in which it was released in 2011 and when I was Ohana's age, even though I didn't watch it until 2017. Both sweet/heartwarming and melancholic.
Huge kino's journey fan, I was just wondering if you have ever seen the anime Monster?
haven’t watched the show but seems to tie in with the book: zen and the art of mortorcycle maintenance
Excellent video for one of my favourites! If you enjoy this type of slice of life, then I highly recommend Fuujin Monogatari/Windy Tales. It's a really comfy and melancholic anime, with a unique art style and fantastic music and sound. There's a lot of talent behind it.
Outstanding anime I love Kinos journey I’ll have to check out mushashi (sorry if I didn’t spell it right) but I was wondering what your favorite anime is?
Mushi-shi is my favorite actually. :D
do u have a MAL
The main reason I prefer the original (other than ambition) is that the newer version hid important info till the end of the episode. It would then then just explains the twist to the audience. The original gave you all the pieces and let you and kino figure out the country together.
I can't forgive the new series because they put "Kind Country" before "Country of Adults". In the old anime Kind country looks like mirror of Kino's childhood - and then the story makes a big twist. But in the new one all of the energy of Kind country and Kino's feelings remain unknown to the viewer
Where can I watch?
Also I was wondering if you’ve seen the monogatari series
Nah, I know about it, but I never really got into it. I can see the appeal though!
Cool
What is probably not the proper way to go about this. maybe over email? I have been scripting something for a number of years and I’m now in the process of getting it made into a rough draft comic. Type of thing, and I am looking potentially for voice actors two dub over the comic. And your specific voice with your inflection fits on one of my characters pretty well. Could a line reading potentially be done of part of my “script” I word it like that because it’s technically not in the script format but the idea is there.
Your voice is quite pleasant
Have you been watching Super Cub this season? Seems like something that'd be entirely up your alley.
I haven't actually! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I think you're totally right.
@@rely_able Once you have I'd be very interested in your thoughts on it.
Yeah, definitely I love the original Kino over the reboot version.

"i never expected anyone to watch anything i talk about"
//bruh... it's great but..for me i more likely watch "the journey of elaina"
This is legitimately my top anime, and it upset me sooo much as I attempted to watch the newer one when I hit the coliseum episode. I stopped watching. I keep trying to go back, but I just haven't been able to get over the injustice they did that tale; why even use it at all if you're going to gut and undercut it like that? There's a reason it took up two episodes in the original.
Also, the "new' Kino's head looks massive in proportion to their body, imo, but that's a minor grievance.
The biggest problem I have, on top of disliking the new one, is now that's practically the only results that occur when you search for "Kino's Journey" anymore. Unless you know what you're looking for, the original 2003 edition is buried. That upsets me the most, because it's a great anime, and from what I watched of the new one it's only a mediocre one...
Yow your voice is a gift! You earn a new subscriber! But I recommended you to speak lil slowly
dude, I just watched episode 2 and that shit was some third-world shit. I know bc I'm in one. but yeah. if you want a feel-good anime, this is the exact opposite but it will make you think for sure.
the 2003 version is better in every way, but I especially hate ...well. the 2017 version kind of waifu-fied Kino - the DVD cover has their ass showing through their jacket, there are bikini figurines of them?? and an undressing flash game? it's like.... thanks. I hate it lol.
Bikini figures? Ugh, that's so out of character for them. :/
@@rely_ablefuck, fuck, fuck. I hate it
you make such cute videos, im interested in you ^^
Kind of weird how you keep referring to Kino as 'they' when she's a female character. Don't erase woman characters.
idk its kinda a whole thing. Kino uses the more masculine first person pronoun "boku", kino also rejects being called gendered terms. The pronouns used in all english translations are indeed "she" but that doesn't mean its correct, theres deliberate ambiguity so i think there are valid reasons for referring to the character with either pronouns
I think it's more that Kino adopts the persona of "A man named Kino." A man on a journey who only stays in one place for 3 days. So Kino would refer to him/herself masculinely, but also recognizes that 'his' body is still female, and is growing into a woman, and not everybody will recognize what he identifies as, and he likely doesn't feel it's worth it to establish reference pronouns to people he'll only know for at most 3 days. Instead Kino just let's everyone refer to him however they please.
The only time Kino corrects anyone on identifying him is when the Roman guard calls him "little boy" and Colonel Sanders calls him "Ms. Kino" to which he states, "Just call me kino" taking more offense to being called "Little" than "boy"
