Kino No Tabi: The beautiful world.

[Milo Of Meelos]

One of the few animes i have enjoyed as a hardcore comic book fan. Of course, there are others(and how) but this one takes the whole cake. Its right there amid my favorites, right inbetween Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison.

So, go ahead, you know the drift.

Discuss!

While I love the anime, it seems to unsubtly give the message of the story.
The novel makes it seem less heavy handed in storytelling.

Yes, I've heard good things about the novel. Haven't read it yet.

Funny. I bought the series and still haven't finished watching it. I bought the damn DVDs as they came out and now you can buy the whole thing for less than what I paid for the 1st DVD and box.

I planned on showing it at my school's club, but it didn't have enough action for the general fandom. Plus after I showed the even slower and even more artsy Angel's Egg, the club has been leery of my choices.

I actually have Kino behind me right now on a pile of DVDs to watch.

I'd definitely recommend checking out the novels- Tokyopop's adaption reads really smoothly, and it's a nice, lite read, presenting a different short story with each chapter. Nice book design too, with a stiffer spine, and thicker cover stock then their manga.
