Kino\'s Journey

Brelanda

Just finished the " Kino's Journey" box set.
It is the story of a traveler, a class of people who just go from place to place and see what each place has to experience.
Viewing just the Japanese language version I did not realize that Kino was a girl.
(I've got to learn to speak Japanese, soon.)
The stories vary in length from about five min. to spanning two shows.
It reminds me a little of the story "The Little Prince"
The end was a little depressing because there is a lot more I want to know.
Who is this "Teacher"?
What was her Origin?
Will there be more shows?

I don't know, because of my limited Japanese speaking skill, if the wrong word is a Japanese homonym or just a random word.
If it's a homonym it may be some pun that the Japanese would get, but to me its just a random word.

You watch the raw?

I am studying the Japanese language.

When I get a new show, I watch it the first time with the subtitles and just enjoy.

The second time I try to listen to the show and get the word order along with the translation.

Other times I just put on the show when I am doing some thing else, just to get my mind used to the sound of natural speech.( While I am doing this I have "Wolf's Rain" ep. 9 "Misgivings" playing in the background.)

Hahahaha, that's one way to go at it I guess XD
Are you studying as a hobby or is it your major?

Each story is an examination of a society from an impartial view.
The shows give an independent overview of the way people act in there own local social groups.
It is a thoughtful examination of an extreme example of the each of the types of social groups.
Granted it is not a big shoot-em-up, there is some violence and it is wonderfully done, if want that watch Gundam.
In the second show ,"A Tale of Feeding Off Others", Kino repeatedly thinks about the fact that she has to take the life of rabbits to help keep alive the three others that have been stranded because of an early snow that had
stranded them in the snow.
The show has a very Buddhist outlook on the world.

For what age[s] is this anime intended?

Nightsky

sounds unique and interesting serie

The set includes 13 episodes.
But the number of stories is more than that.
In some of the episodes have her visiting more than one place.
Each visit to a town or city is a story some short some longer.
Like it was said by the other poster stated her companion for all her travels is talking motorcycle.
The cycle acts as an plot device to help Kino expound on the situations as they happen of give information about what has happened before and what they expect to happen in the town that they are going to next.
The cycle has a habit of every one and a while saying the wrong word.
I don't know, because of my limited Japanese speaking skill, if the wrong word is a Japanese homonym or just a random word.
If it's a homonym it may be some pun that the Japanese would get, but to me its just a random word.

The series is not for little kids.
Each show has some violence and there is fighting and death, but it is not over the top and excessive or gory.
I would not let a child of under ten watch them and under twelve I would have to watch it with them to stop and explain some of the more esoteric concepts as they happen so they could fully understand why the people are doing and acting as they do in those situations.
No sexual situations.
