I wonder if Chris Patton will reprise his role as original Kino.

Yes, I pointed this out a couple pages back in the hope of getting the thread talking about the episodes again but it got engulfed by the damn web-fight. If you go back to their big episode you can see him reloading Woodsman when they're in the tower. I'd be interested in WHY Gabriella thought adult Kino was implied to be Master's apprentice. It seems to come out of nowhere. |

I though it was obvious for the old man, that's why people didn't really talk about it. x) Otherwise, the Kino boy can't be an older version of Partner considering his age in a Kind Land. I guess she worded her sentence badly and meant the old guy in the previous episode (not Kino) was him. Last edited by Djidji on Wed Dec 20, 2017 6:12 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Considering she was talking about entirely different episodes she would have had to word it very badly.
Although my point of the guy being the old man was not just pointing it out. I was comparing it to the first series, where we had no knowledge of Master's former apprentice. (In the previous version he had the obvious connection but was made out to just be a gunsmith who had made Canon). And also bringing up the opposite order of that episode and this. The Previouus series had "Adults" a few episodes before "Kind." You could say ending with Kind Country emphasized "endings" while having this one come after emphasizes "continuing." or I'm seeing too much in it. |

I didn't think the gender thing was all that big an issue. She dresses as a boy because as a lone traveler in her world it's safer to appear to be a boy than a girl. The land between cities seems to be lawless and quite dangerous.

You'll soon realize people don't actually care about what a character is, just what desperate projections they can twist them into for thsir own selfish desires. But yeah, the amount of salt a Kino Gakuen adaption would cause here would be amazing. |

^That's interesting, I think most of the worst episodes (moving country, radiowave country and sheep field) are in the "not ranked" list. Since watching the latest episode I couldn't stop wondering why on earth would the public choose the sheep story, it's terrible all around. I still don't know why the anime staff decided to include it, but it's less puzzling than believing this ridiculously dumb story would be among the fan favorite

Yes, thanks for the breakdown. My first reaction to this episode was "Wow- this is a ridiculous story... how could have this been voted as a favorite?" Glad to know to know it wasn't.
I'm thinking the team may have thought the story was preposterous/funny but completely failed in showing any humor. |

The problem with this logic is that Kino doesn't seem any more safe dressed as a boy than she would as a girl, and the few times where her sex played any part in the danger she was facing, the outfit didn't make any kind of difference. Kino is quite capable of defending herself, no matter how she presents, and the Master certainly had no trouble travelling openly as a woman. Suffice to say, this has never been so much as hinted as being Kino's motivation for dressing as she does. No, it mirrors the original Kino's refusal to adhere to the pre-set definitions of "adult" or "child" in our Kino's home country: rejection of prescribed identity, not necessarily in a way that would suggest transgenderism, but definitely to reject social norms and expectations based on gender. Personally, I continue to view Kino as genderfluid; she (and I use the pronoun in this discussion for the sake of convenience) isn't bothered with being seen as a girl, but she doesn't restrict herself exclusively to that identity, like she doesn't restrict herself to any other bond that ties people to a single place or lifestyle. |

That fight with the sheep has got to be one of the best moments in the franchise, it's not everyday you see a talking motorcycle being chased by a hoard of killer sheep, before all being burnt alive. I just wish this series had better art, the CG is really distracting, and more varied storylines.
