Recommendations

Galaxy Express 999 has been stated as the inspiration for Kino's Journey. Both follow a young observer who travels around. Each place visited seems to hinge on one focal point of society and the viewer is left to draw conclusions and form their own opinions.
Both feature a protagonist who travels and speaks about the sanctity of life. Each are episodic and can be very emotional.
