Here's the latest PV that's just dropped.

Looks like Yanagi Nagi is working with I've Sound again for this OP. Very reminiscent of earlier Dengeki Bunko titles like Shakugan no Shana and Index with similar aesthetics.

And I think the hint of the first episode is probably the Land of Permitted Murder. It's very much welcomed as a good starting point of this reboot.

Looks very underwhelming compared to the first series :/

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Since picking up the LN, I've really wanted more Kino. Can't wait for this to start.

that CGI though @-@ Looks like colosseum and probably tower country will be reanimated. Hope there's more new content than reused journeys. Let's not make this Hell Girl Yoi no Togi all over again :/

I mentioned this before, but I figure they're gonna have to remake the Coliseum arc and Land of Adults, because those are pivotal to the overall narrative of Kino as a franchise. I also wouldn't be surprised if they remade Tower Country as well, but I think that will probably be it. Their immediate introduction of Tii, Aibou, and Shishou signals to me that they really want to adapt different stories. That being said, I don't trust these guys and yeah...that CGI...

As they say, hope for the best and expect the worst. We'll see.

Oh yeah, almost forgot to talk about the PV, lol. Seems alright, not great, but not bad. I like the song and while I'm not a fan of the polished style the characters seem to have, I can see myself easily growing accustomed to this one.

Gotta be honest, the music and visuals are a bit too kawaii. Sure, you might say that of the original series to some extent, and it wasn't a bad thing at all, but it was more subdued with the art style itself. Here, everything is too shiny and clear.
