 opening & ending by nagi yanagi |
| As much of a Kino fan as I am, I'm not very excited about the key visual. I expected as much that it would be following the light novel designs, but also hoped that they would be able to translate Kuroboshi's sketchy and stylized art a bit differently (I guess I'm nitpicking... yeah I am) On the other hand, the news that Yanagi Nagi will perform both OP and ED is good news to me. EDIT. Well the official website visuals look a bit better for some reason. I'm hoping that all of this will look good in motion. |

| Seems a lot more colourful than the first season, which, honestly, I don't mind. I guess the world will be actually beautiful this time. At least the environments. (Not to say the old version wasn't but it was so in a different way.) I was prepared for a change in style, and I honestly find this pleasing so far. I'll reserve proper judgement for when I see it in action, though. As long as they can pull of the mood and thought-provokingness of the first season and the novels - at least a decent degree - then I'll be happy. For that we can only wait and see. |
*sips tea* |
| wow, honestly FUCK whoever changed kino's image on mal use the LN art. the goddamn new anime art should NOT encompass the entire franchise |
| Inb4 people say it is or will definitely be shit based on a single picture. |
 |
| More bothered by the colors than the generic modern design update. Don't know or care about how it is in the source, but it lacks the dreariness of the 2003 series that defined the title for me. |

| Sieg Zeon! |
| [First PV] |
 |
| Oh, wow. I wasn't too sure about Aoki Yuuki as Kino, but she sounds pretty good. |
 |
| I think pv and key animation looks beautiful. |
| I'm quite disapointed on pretty much everyhting to be honest. The classic anime wasn't the best on terms of art, so I wasn't expecting they'd keep that, but... I don't know, Kino is kind of... lollish now. The colours are bothering me a lot as well. Those light sepia tones were one of the best things on the anime and now it's colorful... A thing that I personaly dislike and actually have problems with it (my eyes literaly get tired of bright colours, I have the urge to turn my face away). The art and PV in general reminds me of the on-going anime Princess Principal, that is a good anime but y'know, it isn't like Kino no Tabi, so it's a bit sad to see a somewhat generic art and animation. It doesn't look like it will be dark and philosophic as the first anime, the trailer actually makes it look serene and almost happy. Kino no Tabi is one of my favorite animes, so of course I'm still hyped and happy for a new anime, but I was expecting something different from what we got so far. At least the voice acting is quite good, so my worries about the new voice actors is gone, at least for Kino. |
| Calm down people, it's Lerche... it isn't going to be happy, they know how to do this... |
   |
| I'm excited for it. |

| Finished watching the first version, I can say the artwork style is kinda miss for me. But the story really impressive. So looking forward for this new art style direction |
 |
just from the way kino eats that cake you can tell this is going to be trash |
| I just started the 2003 anime.... You guys. If the place in episode 1 is in the new show, people will call it a knockoff of Kiznaiver and/or Black Mirror. Prepare your fists. |
| just who the fvck changed Kino's pict on MAL!? |
 To-Do List:
|
AldiCrowz said: It's like that when a new key visual for the character is released especially if it's been a while since it's last picture. Don't worry though there's a chance they revert it back but I highly doubt they will considering they still haven't changed that shitty Gilgamesh picjust who the fvck changed Kino's pict on MAL!? |
I hope you're joking. |

not at all. That classic moe way of eating food is very much at odds with the tone & style that defined the original adaptation. seeing kino, a very distinct and fascinating and observant character, eating cake like any other female anime character these days, tells me all i need to know about this new adaptation: that it's going to be run-of-the-mill, conformist, uninspired, etc. |

|
| >The beautiful world Do you mean the beautiful art? Kino suddenly because kawaii... |
| Wish they kept the same art style as the 2003 version. This new art style looks rather generic. |

| So, they went from having one of the most unique art styles, to making the show look like just about any generic newer anime (worse, an A-1 Pictures anime), slathered with tons of unnecessary visual effects and filters. Why am I not surprised? |

I don't think it will be bad simply based on how she eats the cake, but I have to say that it made me facepalm, eating the cake like a half-retarded curious kid doesn't complement Kino's maturity and apathetic nature at all. Speaking of art style, he probably made the most relevant observation in this thread. |

| So it's already been confirmed elsewhere that this series is a reboot and not a sequel. The original series had a distinct style to it, but this reboot looks like any generic anime being released these days. I'm still going to watch this series but I'm approaching it with my skepticism hat on, as you need more than a new art style to bring it on par with the original. Otherwise there's no point in this reboot, unless it gets a second season down the track with new content. |
Bondrewd did nothing wrong. |
| Loved kino no tabi art and everything, but the new show seems to use bad cgi to save a pretty penny so i will most likely not like the show. Its pretty sad when anime from over 10 years ago has better quality. |

| Best cake eating scene since forever. This anime will be a blast. |
| I was about to burst with joy when i read about new Kino series but then I saw the art...!!! -_- But i still have high hopes for this anime...!!! |
Darek said: I never thought I will see someone complaining about cake eating animation... well then, allow me to hit my head against the wall multiple times. You guys are pathetic, I am literally depressed, this is worse than LoGH fanboys when the remake PV was out, christ. Yeah, it's pretty sad that they care about it that much. |
|
| Totally honest, after rewatching episodes from the 2003 version, it's going to be really weird readjusting to the new art, animation, and staff. I understand that it's the direction the novels have taken in the past few years too, but the subtle and minimalist nature of the 2003 version has become the style and atmosphere I've associated with Kino's Journey for years. But, it's already a miracle that Kino got a revival after 14 years, so I'm still happy that this is happening. Totally hype for tomorrow~ |
