I don't know, to me this is one of the best anime of the year. I like it as much as the previous version and imo they are both equally good.

Although I'm sure a lot of people are rating this down because of stupid reason, i cannot overlook the fact that this anime is quite different from what the new seasonal watcher is used to watch. So there's another factor. I'm pretty sure that if this anime was released in 2010-2011 the score would be significantly higher.

Havent seen the 2003 version but personally it was pretty much a mixbag.

6/10 is fair enuff for me.

Pick your poison:

  1. They only read the light novel before and didn't like this adaptation
  2. They only watch the 2003 ver. before and less liking this adaptation
  3. They read the ln and watch the 2003 ver. but less liking this adaptation
  4. This is their first entry to Kino no Tabi and gave their honest score
  5. They thought 2003 ver. is the original, not the LN, and didn't like this "remake"


Point 1-4 are fair. The 2017 adaptation is more faithful to the LN and adapt more stories. Although less faithful, 2003 ver. had its charm thanks to the extraordinary director. They are simply different. Differing opinions are granted.

Point 5 are idiots.


Originality has nothing to do with it. In comparison the 2003 version is by far the better of the two because of superior treatment in it's directing and staging. I saw the first two episodes and dropped this because of all the corny and predictable handling of characters and scenes.

This version personifies new age Anime and how there's not a lick of talent or vision behind the myriad of shows out there. It's either some pandering, tacky, and moeish waifu machine or a empty headed point A to B adaption. Only once in a blue moon will something competent, or at least ambitious, come along that's actually intriguing.
