| I fell in love with a character which had just been introduced... I dont think it will happen again. As people here have said above, I've got to see more of Photo. |
| For a good couple minutes I actually believed that was Kino and that the studio had changed her backstory or something. Smh, this show always tricks me. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
No problem. I was actually recalling another "cloud" related story myself but I couldn't find it quickly, so I thought you'd know. |
 |
| Rem was a slave, got abused by her owners, let them die eating poisonous food, made the survivor kill himself and now Rem is free to take photos with Shinji Ikari motorrad. |

| I was so happy those horrible people died because they're all assholes with their fucked up mentality especially that kid. Ugh. I hate slave drivers so much. Fuck them. Jesus. The fact that it didn't bother them one bit when that little piece of shit said: "So, I'll beat her senseless, the I'll shoot her arms and legs, and then I'll cut her stomach open and kill her." They even encouraged him. Hahahaha. Now they're all dead. Hahaha! Who's laughing now, fuckwads? There's a motorrad in one of the trucks and she became friends with it, and they live together. Awww. Love the ending. So happy for that girl how her life turned out. She becomes a photographer that her name is now Photo. Hehe. :) 5/5. <3 koplakever said: I honestly thought it was Kino who were a slave, guess it's not. Me, neither. I thought for a sec she's Kino when that motorrad appeared, heck, we were wrong. Hehe. |

| Wow, another episode NOT following Kino... and it was pretty good. That kid... what a brat. |
  |
| For a second there I thought that was Kino's past and I was getting really pissed they ruined her great backstory from the original anime, but it was actually another random traveler. What a relief. It was an entertaining and emotional episode that made me think a bit. I have many guesses to why the old man suicided, but I won't get in detail right now. I liked him, even though he might have been a bad person in the past, he was actually touched by Photo's story. Only one thing is bugging me about this new Kino no Tabi anime. I feel Kino doesn't have much screen time in some episodes, and for me, this anime is all about Kino and her journeys. |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| Another episode focusing on a different character. At this rate Kino's backstory might occur in the in one of the last 2 episodes. |
 |
| OH MY GOD! for me, this single episode (6th) is already a masterpiece for me! Live-on Photo! (the orphan girl's name) i bumped this as 8/10. 5/5! |
 |
| legit thought that was Kino lol Disappointing story, I don't like what she ended up, I was so sure she would've ended up traveling to like Kino, her life is stagnant and boring, she doesn't ride her motorad too meh |
| She resembles Sylvie. |
| Motorrads are our best friends! |
| "The world is cruel and imperfect, that's why its beautiful." This show really lives up to its description. What a cute name, Photo! Definitely added to MyKidsNameList!! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Fantastic episode. Inori Minase really owned that role. She deserves another seiyuu award for that. |

ThatCynicalOtaku said: 2) Edge: The characters in this episode were so over-the-top evil, that it makes Tokyo Ghoul look tame. 3) The visuals: How does the studio convey the scene of everyone dying? Use generic red and black weather, and blood-red scenes! 'Cause that doesn't beat you over the head with the point, like certain anime (coughs Erased)) 4) "Message" "Do not hate people no matter what", yeah, how many anime have already done this? Isn't Kino's Journey known for presenting interesting and/or unique, out-there ideas like episodes 1 & 5 from this season? And really? "Photo" becomes her name? That's the most generic name you can possibly give to someone who takes pictures. Over the top? Maybe you should go do some research into the Middle East...or even just the "Darker" side of modern America. Slavery is a very real thing that still exists. They're not over-the-top at all. There are FAR worse monsters living in your very city. Erased wasn't the first anime to do that That's not the message the episode was trying to tell the audience. That's the message that ONE CHARACTER believes. The overall message was more about how luck is a huge factor. Which is very true. You can be the smartest, strongest, mot talented person in the world but it won't matter if your luck doesn't line up to give you the right opportunities. I have no real response to the name thing. It was pretty dumb lol. |
|
| Lol, the script was so meh. Like no other better word to choose. Kino only got less than 1 min screen time. Its neither good nor bad. |

| Karma is a bitch Also >TFW I hear Sou's voice and I realize the person voicing him is Megumi Ogata |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| Great episode as always. And I was so surprised and happy when I realized that it's Ogata Megumi voicing the motorad, it's been so long since I've heard her voice. |
 |
| What a great episode with a super satisfying outcome,even tho the first half was infuriating me :@. If one was fortunate or not decides after one has died. And sometimes it's better to be a picky eater. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| "When I'm about to die, I'll probably die with a smile" She looks so pure and innocent! 😭😭   I also thought that the slave was Kino, I did not see the original. I'm happy that Photo is happy |
| The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list. The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story. |

It was pretty dumb lol. I love how people on the internet are so focused on "logic" and trying to justify a fictional piece of work with it, that they completely miss the point, of my opinion, and start treating the work as a documentary, than a fictional piece with its own intentions, to justify everything it does, rather than actually talk about, why the work does what it does. "Oh, but it's realistic, and makes logical sense!" That's not the point. When I was in writing class, and we had discussions on each others' storeis, we never talked about whether it made logical sense or not, because it's fiction, anything can make sense, we talked about what the point of it. Whether it's "realistic" or "logical" is not the point The point is, is that this episode, made literally every character except that old man, so evil, that it's ridiculous. I think everybody got the message that these guys were kinda dicks simply by 5 the first 5 minutes. You completely miss the point of certain characters in this kind of anime. They are not as much as characters as they are mechanisms to convey a story, and this is not a bad thing, it's just how some anime like to create some characters. The same applies not only for characters but also for the settings in the anime, everything is over the top, some countries are quite ludicrous (ex: the moving country) and exaggerated in order to create a scenario that fits the story they want to tell. This is intended and is the kind of thing the spectator should already be used to by now. Don't look at characters and the setting in this anime as you would with more conventional anime. |

| it is funny to see almost everyone is saying 'good story', 'poor girl', etc, but none has ever say the morale of this episode. LOL I wonder what these people saw in this episode.... |
| Signature removed. Check your inbox |
| What an episode. At least Photo was able to build a nice life for herself in the end. |
| This episode blew me out of my mind!! It actually brought a tear to my eyes. That scream is amazing. How did the voice actor do that!?? Also for a second i thought she's kino lol |
| Damn Photo is lovable. |
 |
| I liked this episode well enough. I was kind of just waiting for Kino to show up. I thought did they change her origin or something? But that aside (because I feel like Kino has been less of a presence in this new series). I liked the girl and the traveler she strikes up an unlikely friendship with. Both were interesting characters who carried kind of a weak narrative. The abusive rich assholes were ridiculous. Especially the little kid. Like the emotional manipulation is so on the nose. I refuse to feel anything about them. They were just kind of silly and weakly written. Still I thought this was one of the stronger episodes of this new series. |
 |
| Mind blowing episode i feel sad for the people who died and happy for the photo girl. “The world is not beautiful. Therefore it is.” This anime makes u think deep |
| Damn that sure was quite the different focus shift! Pretty lovely ending though, but the whole thing sure was hard to swallow. At least that ending was really lovely! |
 |
| Karma just went out full blast on this one. Those bastards deserved it. I thought it was Kino's backstory at first. |

| hahaha i felt quite satisfied watching those boastful piglets die like the hoggish fools they were. i was kind of angry at the slave girl tho for being soo näive and i was also hoping for kino to intervene in some way too during the entire episode but that never came to pass. whose journey is it exactly? |
 |
| Probably my favorite episode so far. The only one that could really compare would be the last one. It was a bit clumsy, but at this point that seems sort of par for the course with this incarnation of Kino no Tabi. Three and four were starting to get a bit too over the top for me (especially three), the last two have felt stronger. |
| Best episode of the series by far. Such awesome story telling. |
Vindicater said: Best episode of the series by far. I agree this is the best episode |
 |
| Quite a heartwarming tale this time. While I admire Photo's view of the world, I can't say I miss those merchants for how they treated her. Better that they were unlucky, for her fortune was a true blessing. |
 |
| That kid has quite the throwing arm ... "Motorrad" - more like little scooter :D Really good episode, good to see her be free now, living her life instead of being used as a slave. Sou had some really good lines that eventually convinced "Photo" to live her life to eventually die. The luck of the merchants ran out and Photo's luck just started. |
 |
| Damn, that little boy is messed up. Anyways, Sou is so cute. xD The voice, the size, everything. |
 |
| That was a bit hard to watch, especially when they were abusing her and the Young Master is being probably his naive and idiotic self. I vaguely remember in my youth that one of my older cousin has a motorbike (I wish it was a motorrad!) like Sou, the handle folds down to the seat level and when tucked down with the cover, the top is completely flat you can sit on it as well. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
