Wow. I fell in love with Kino's journey by the end of episode one. I just love it. I labeled it a masterpiece before I even finished it. Everything worked. I get it. The show certainly doesn't hide what it's trying to say, and that's another reason I love it. The show is simple, yet I find everything about it breath taking. The art is beautiful, the characters are a joy, the animation is lovely, the music is a treat, and the story always leaves me thinking about something new.

Kino herself has gained much love from me. Some people seem dissapointed at her lack of emotion. I myself love her personality. It's nice to see a different kind of character, especially one I can sympathize with. On top of that Kino's personality makes scenes where she does show emotion far more empactful. Kino doesn't wear her heart on her sleave, but she is clearly a wonderful person. She cares and she is smart. I loved watching her travels and I greatly enjoyed myself.
