Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - The Animated Series

Either series stars a character who albeit their status/skills/abilities, takes more of a back seat during storytelling. The lead travels to different countries and explores/solves/experiences events pertaining to the location, some local legend, story or rumor. Usually, the episodes are novel-esque self-contained tales with a twist and/or some moral to tell, often opting to subvert expectations. Neither series caters to illusions about human nature. Episodes can end equally happy or sad, grim or thought provoking. 

Episodic adventures following a travelling character. Characters are both intriguing as they do not follow the usual MC formula. Elaina being slightly more self absorbed and Kino is slightly out of touch with emotions. Both encounter darker themes and life threatening situations. Both look good Both also follow a theme of this city ... then that city. With a very slowly developing underlying plot... however it is not the forefront of the anime. Not the driving force.  

-Both about the main character who goes on a journey to travel. They never stay in one spot and explore the different cultures and lives of other places. -Both animes are very chill, refreshing anime filled with excitement and curiosity of what the new location and people they will meet be like -A lot of their adventure is either dark/mysterious or heartwarming -Both meet meaningful connections with characters and are off again to find their next destination  

Both series follow the main protagonists on a journey throughout their respective worlds. However Kino delves more into dark themes and how looks can be deceiving to the eye, whereas The Journey of Elaina is more light hearted with comedic themes with a light touch of dark themes. Both are nice if you interested in something that isn't story plot heavy and relies more on its characters to keep the show entertaining.  

As I was watching this show it reminded me a lot of this show that I had seen a while back. Both are traveling/ adventure-based and revolves around dealing with new people, places, and experiences. Pretty pog 

Dashing art depicting stories of girls travelling after learning from their masters. Elaina and Kino interact with people in various places with different traditions and customs and leave feeling more experienced. So do the viewers if they pay close attention. 

The similarity lies in the main character who travels around their world and encounters -both beautiful and heartbreaking- stories. The difference between these shows is the transport by which they travel. So travels the Wandering Witch by broom and Kino by his talking motorcycle Hermes. 

both are about traveling and its beauty with bright stories and dark ones.  

-Young protagonist travels around the world with little story behind it -Episodic, easy to understand and no reason to binge -Lighthearted and heart-warming 

Everyone who have watched this will have the same thinking and recommendations. Try this both, cause both is an adventure anime, adventure from one country to another country, the slice of life, the fun. Both have unique world building and a little good improvement for the main heroine. 

A traveling girl goes to various different countries, spending a couple days in each and observing their unique customs which are metaphoric of the real life controversial nature/actions of humanity and its concepts. Both series have bright slow paced atmospheres, character designs, and presentations. The girl only ever observes from a neutral perspective without interfering and the stories revolve predominantly around the people who she meets and their circumstances rather than the MC herself. I consider Kino's Journey to be the spirtual predecessor to Elaina. 

Both are about a girl who goes out to explore different countries and the things she learns from each country through the people she meets 

the main characters in both anime explore various places with stories from those places too, of course. 

Both animes include the main character adventuring the world for their own reasons. They also have some stunning animation and wonderous protagonists. We have Elaina on her magical broom, and Kino on Hermes. Neither of them contain real plot, but are shows to watch if you just want to chill and relax, without needing to take anything seriously. 

Both shows are essentially identical in storyline and plot of a traveling girl observing metaphoric representations of human nature through the countries she goes to and the people she meets. 

Both about the main character who goes on a journey to travel. They never stay in one spot and explore the different cultures and lives of other places. 

the best journey anime for me.  

If you liked Kino's Journey, then you will definitely enjoy Violet Evergarden. Albeit, the two series and main characters have some important differences, but both stories are set in a slice-of-life format and in cool semi-modern worlds. Kino is definitely more impartial and nihilistic than Violet, though both start at basically the same point. 

One of the prettiest animes I have ever seen. The characters are all great, and the world feels very alive. It feels surprisingly chill, despite the backdrop of the war, and the trauma experienced by the MC. Violet herself is a very compelling character as well. The music is, as well, beautiful, and very fitting. 

-Both series revolve around an expressionless yet strong female protagonist (Or is Kino non binary I can't remember...) -Both have beautiful animation -Both have interesting and unforgettable stories and characters -Both have bits of violence here and there but are mostly fantasy slice of life -Both have moments that make you say: "wtf" -Both are based on light novels -Both protagonists are attractive teen girls in my opinion uwu Have fun yall 

In Violet evergarden as well as in Kino no Tabi, you go on an adventure with the main character. Violet and Kino both share a rather tragic backstory and envolved to be a cold type of character. As you follow their journey, you get to learn about different people and their motives and storys, which can get really sad sometimes.  

The main Character travel to many place and solve all problem he meet in their adventure - both anime contain a little slice of life genre 

Both are based on a long running source material, and are very unique narratively to the anime medium which is often saturated with shows that rehash one another. Mushishi is an episodic series about strange creatures called mushi that cause illnesses or supernatural activities, while Kino no Tabi is an episodic travel series about a girl who travels to countries on motorbike, and the show explores the philosophical question of what happens when you take an aspect or value of a society, and then have the society run almost exclusively on said aspect or value, showing the natural consequences of such, which are often novel to watch. Anyone that is looking for a unique series will probably enjoy both shows, as I can't think of any shows in anime that are similar to these two.  read more 

Both of the shows are episodic, and the story revolves around the main character traveling from place to place and solving different issues each place has. Both have very adult themes and series undertones. Kinos Journey is definitely more violent with flashy fights blood and gore, and in Mushishi there's barely any violence. The deaths and brutal scenes in Mushishi are more soothing and calm and it creates the tension by dialogue rather than fights. Both are beautiful.  

Both are ultimately very contemplative narratives involving travelers exploring unique landscapes and artifacts, and in each one is left with more questions than answers.  

Both of these shows are similar in format. They focus on a girl or girls traveling around an unknown land and discovering new things around them. They both have episodic themes where they both explore a different philosophical concept, and give the viewer room to think versus having that view forced upon you. Girls Last Tour is a little more general and existential with its philosophy and lighter with its tone, and Kino's Journey focuses more on political philosophy and can be quite violent at times. 

First of all, the setting of these anime are very similar as it follows young protagonist in their travel in their respective world. The anime itself also has a very similar vibe as it gives a darker impression and doesn’t shy from showing that the world and life itself can be sinister and not perfect. Despite this, the protagonist in both stories see their world in a more optimist tone giving a message of hope in a unique way.  

Both of these series have filled me with a desire to explore the world. I love finding out about each new layer of the Abyss, and all the rules and dangers that come with it. I also love seeing each new country shown by Kino or Shizu. 

Both shows focus on a pair traveling across the world together, with beautiful animation and relaxing vibes. Kino's Journey is much more episodic, with most episodes having zero correlation with other episodes, while Somali to Mori follows more of a plot which happens to incorporate several interesting side stories of 1-3 episodes. Both shows portray truly stunning worlds, juxtaposed with harsh systems of beliefs and dark histories. Additionally, both shows have serious, tense, and meaningful moments, despite the generally relaxing tone.
